other than posting on the internet?

my first thing is meeting with a woman who has a six year old son who just yells "BATMAN" constantly and punches shit in my office. sometimes he takes my highlighters and breaks them and smears the ink everywhere, which makes my office look cooler as long as he doesn't get them on the Megadeth or Mercyful Fate band photos i printed up

i'm not really sure. today is the day i make home visits. anything could happen.

tonight will be my last shift before vacation, I will be doing as little as humanly possible

waiting for students to come in to comp lab.
drankin coffee.
teaching english idioms like "apple of my eye", etc.

i got some idioms right here you can teech 'em.

writing a press release about some research study we did, reaching out to media contacts and trying to milk a story out of 'em, editing a webinar script, trying to book an event for HR leaders to get together and cluck their tongues and talk about employee engagement.

I have a bunch of stupid busywork to do so my boss can take credit for it; finish writing my goal plan; drink a bunch of bad coffee; write 2 scripts, 3 promo emails, and 4 or 5 landing pages.

I'm going to see if I can make it on no coffee. That's always fun after staying up until 3:30am.

goddamn, i would love to have you sit on for a class and do just that, rayna.

thorn in my side
candle in the wind
the milk in my lemonade

Responded to a bunch of emails about different process questions end users had in our new database system
Write a report about where all of our active sales deals are by sales rep
write two other reports
Reimage a laptop harddrive
restore a duplicate copy of our database and figure out how to deal with sales returns
drink another pot of green tea
duck out at noon and go train jiujitsu
start processing all of June's sales returns

uh.. bye.

When I am not shuttling my daughter to her various events/games in conjunction with the USA Cup, I will be putting final touches on a research report as well as getting the guest room ready for a friend who is coming in town for a few days.

Writing homoerotic/lesbionic fan fiction about MRMB members to post to my "secret" MRMB page.

answering tech support phone calls all day long, just like every other day

unloaded a truck and stacked about 7 pallets of groceries. then I gotta call a bunch of hippies and tell them their special orders are here.
yesterday I spent $35k.

I ate a breakfast sandwich in my cube. Delicious.

Now I'm thinking about growing my hair long while these folks tap on their computers.

adam that one time someone called in and you recommended him to weigh their print cartridge and he said "with what, a coke scale?" still has me LOLin'

Do a crossword puzzle while deucin'.

Every household should have at least one triple beam scale.

Now I am thinking about Lindsay Lohan's freckles and looking online for pictures of her in a bathing suit that shows her freckles and in general thinking about girls with freckles and how hot freckles are.

I will be calculating and mapping the constraints analysis for our B*F*L* W*N* project and submitting polygon shp files of the buildable areas to our wind assessments team for further analysis. Also, according to my outlook calendar, there is a cupcake party at 3:00.

OMG i love freckles, marquee. Cutest thing in the history of hot.

Freckles are the best! It makes me sad when babes hate on their own freckles.

Feigning interest.

= my favorite 80s HC band

Looking for mp3s from The Cult to download.
Purchasing SSL certificates from OpenSRS and installing them on the load balancer.
Freeing up disk space on the development server.
Providing tech support to clients as needed, via email.
Eating lunch made with produce from Vasa Gardens.
Looking forward to Liars tonight.

I just got done delivering awards to two awesome employees

Eating lunch made with produce from Vasa Gardens.

I will be doing this later myself! summer rolls om nom nom

removing some virus from my parents' home computer that keeps opening up porn sites and won't let you get any other applications open. hahahah! I guess it's not really work, cause I'm not getting paid and I can nap.

Plus, you get to look at porn.

oops. i guess im going to hcmc's emergency room. not for me. im fine!

i will be bagging groceries.

I'm drawing a floor plan for a new classroom for our department and then making a color coded map of the school, all while watching Nip/Tuck.

i'm working from the home today.
i will take a few calls and restart a few tvs today.

i'm gonna do an inventory count on bongs.

I am staining a window sill and casing, and painting exterior trim. And reading the board on my phone.

Sending out resumes. Should I put Census work on there?

You should put the census work on there, especially if that's the only job you were doing during that period of time.

Waiting for more work to come my way. Man, receptionist work can be soooo slow. So far today I've delivered mail, stocked the paper towels and coffee and mentally prepared some sets for my show on Friday.

at the bakery this morning i think i have perfected my cappuccino work. later at i'll be making french fries for drunk 21 year olds

Looking for a job. Feeling depressed.

Started with crashing POS system, then listening to tech support suck.
Glaring at co-workers who will not stop talking (in the back of the store with customers at the register, which is broken and I'm on the phone trying to fix).
Having a snack.
Vasa Gardens lunch doing miraculous things to my mood.
Receiving invoices, placing orders, checking in orders, signing checks, calling customers.
Screwing around on the internet until I lose my computer at 2pm.
After that, probably more scowling. And listening to people tell me about their poop.

Just finished 3 hours of conference calls, about to head into a meeting.

Day off in Columbus, Ohio. Last time I was here was the great Voytek roman candle fight. I have a bunch of fireworks to get rid of before we cross into Canada on Thursday night. I maybe I can make some kind of tradition.

I need to buy new socks, but it is raining like a motherfucker and I don't really want to go outside. Probably going to find a bar tonight and hang with my buds in Two Cow Garage.

Howie_ZZ: The iced latte you made me the other day was most excellent!

I just walked some dogs, about to change clothes and go serve people sushi.

Drawing conveyor layouts at the Sweet n' Low factory.

burgerdog if you don't shoot all those fireworks at the people of Columbus bring them back home for the Community Garden Party next week.

calling to implore students who are registered for summer class to actually show up.

teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules

HA

i am watching a training "webinar" where the trainer has an obvious lisp. then i am arguing with landlords and doing sex offender background checks

that sounds exactly like my day. except for the webinar.

i also gotta drive to a bunch of houses and have people sign updated releases of information and agreements so we canbe ready for an audit next wednesday.

and then rush home and strip naked and throw my clothes in the wash so i don't get bedbugs and put on different clothes and walk the dogs and eat lunch then go back to work and argue with my client about how 350-500 t-shirts is too many t-shirts and the landlord will kick him out if he doesn't comply with bedbug treatment.

I'm enjoying the shut out of this weather while I begin restoring this sweet huge house in-between lake harriet and calhoun.

watching an animated cartoon video-in-progress

please tell me each t-shirt has a funny saying like "cant sleep - clowns will eat me"

As a qualified Data Entry Professional who has passed all my quarterly certifications such as "Workplace Diversity" and "Making Excel Work For You" I can assure you that I will be entering meaningless numbers all day today that will soon blur into a never-ending stream of apathy and a whirling vortex of bored agony highlighted only by sexual daydreams about co-workers and vague speculation on what to have for dinner.

This is probably a healthy exercise for me right now. Currently, I am formatting a mail merge document of name tags for an event I'm helping to coordinate. I also have to create a brand guide for my company, which I'm sputtering on and not too excited about. Also getting approval for a press release to go out tomorrow. And...maybe send out some applications or requests to present for the Prez?

-Wrapping up the database for the constraints analysis for one of our projects.
-Applying shadow flicker modeling to another project.
-Running decibel calculations for three turbine layouts for the same project and creating a shp file to map/show the developers for their next meeting.
-Trying not to eat the cake in the breakroom.
-Avoiding meetings.

Taking the day off.

training for my new eco-friendly cleaning job today
luckily my trainer is a friend and ex-roommate

putting no doz up my ass

I sort of lied. Haven't begun working yet. Just sitting on these brick stairs waiting to meet with Home Restoration Services and go over this job scope, watching airplanes fly over and browsing the Internet. Kinda love my job today.

Today I have a job interview. I am ambivalent about it. Amazing company, insurance that would actually pay for me to go to the Y. But it's a lateral move and I can only pretend I enjoy being a receptionist for so long. Like 3 minutes long.

wow, good luck, abomb!

I have free coffee and a ball to bounce. Work is fun.

Thanks, COF. I am so conflicted about this!

Good call.

I'm at starbucks checking my emails. Gonna sit in on a CPR & First Aid training tonight...until 10:30 :(

i will be doing inventory counts of all our pipes for ordering purposes.
and selling bongs to whitehat brahs.

tiiiiiight

Getting word of future layoffs/buyouts

Probably gonna have lunch with Coach.

spent the morning hours making lattes and small talk with seward moms. now done with one job and watching trailer park boys. then go and get new tires on my car. then leave to go to other job to make nachos for drunk 21 year old MCAD kids

my co-workers like me because i yell things like "shut up, dont tell me what to do" at my computer screen during the training videos

Shaitan, do we work at the same place? That's what I've spent my morning doing as well. Fortunately, I'm safe, but some of my colleagues aren't. Boooooooooo!

jackin it,
makin "beats"

upgrade the firmware on a couple hundred televisions
make some ads

tv firmware updates always scare me. that and i hardly ever know exactly whats being changed.

Interview went well, although they were like, "So,um, why are you interested in this admin job if you have experience doing other, more fulfilling non-copying-and- scanning-things stuff?" Because we are in a bad economy, that is why.

Shaitan, do we work at the same place? That's what I've spent my morning doing as well. Fortunately, I'm safe, but some of my colleagues aren't. Boooooooooo!

I'm in a giant building in Eagan. Where are you at?

since looking for a job is my job, i'm spending the afternoon
signing up with another agency, filling out mountains and
slogging through the stupid ProveIt! tests since 4 of them
i did yesterday didn't go through.

later, i will go sit in a parking lot with
my dog and some beers.

pushing paper.
watching bed bugs take over the metro area.

I am at that giant building in Eagan. Who knew?

FILING and listening to angry messages left by very drunk people.

GODDAMMIT RAYNA WHERE ARE YOU I SAID GET HERE NOW OR IW ILL HAVE TO CALL YOUR BOSS

haha. tevs.

Weird. Maybe I should be IMing you instead.

I'm not so sure I'm in the clear on this round. But maybe it's time to get out.

Hey, good luck, you guys.

Good luck, Shaitan. But, yeah, I think everyone should be looking for alternatives, myself included.

I just made NeoOffice my bitch.

You go boi! I'm having more luck with Excel today...almost done...ARGHGHGH

I was using the Open Office version of Excel. It's so frustrating because it's so similar to Excel, but formatting shit is done slightly different, so I had to just keep searching around. Shit that would have taken me 5 minutes in Excel took me 45 minutes. ARRGHHH.

Wishing the manual labor portion of the day wasn't over.

I just called a client on behalf of my boss and sang "Head Like a Hole".

I'm talking to a guy who says his computer uses "Microscope Windows"

blogging, managing people's blogs, writing a press release, looking up professional associations to join, tweeting, copywriting, QCing direct mail marketing pieces, various other online PR

I think I win.

went home sick. before i go into other job.

i just organized my whole desk (after like 3.5 years) looking for some leases. still can't find em!

screening people for sex offender registrations and processing paperwork for a dude who told me he has to count backwards constantly in order to interrupt his brain's constant tendency to analyze the best way to kill whoever he is looking at

Gathering business requirements for a $30,000,000 technical infrastructure redevelopment project and turning those into process models and logical data models.

All day. For two months straight. And I'm not anywhere close to done.

dude who told me he has to count backwards constantly in order to interrupt his brain's constant tendency to analyze the best way to kill whoever he is looking at

Does that work? I'll have to try it.

Crunching numbers in Excel all day. My brain is fried. Listening to Das Racist now and staring into space.

That counting backward plan is so crazy it might just work!

it works for this dude - it is remarkable. he is the most amazing dude i have ever ever ever met

ugggh i don't want to close tonite...feel like crap

anyone want to go to howie's work and have him cook us some food? he can sneeze in it and stuff.

I just led a "professional workshop" that I've been nervous as fuck about for weeks now (because, y'know, I'm not, like, really all that professional). It went fine. I was going to post my humongous relief in the "five good things" thread but my brain was too tired to think of four other things.

Well, my boss got us Snoop tickets for the Cabooze tonight... I guess that's one more!

I hope he plays with God Johnson.

No, I think the openers are Pleasure Pause and Sweet Potato Project.

death touching

Just found out that Kurupt is s'posed to be there. Leaving now. Slightly "stoaked".

ooooh I love Kurupt! JEALOUS

LISTENING TO PINK FLOYD

posting photos of babes

PAYROLL

Knucks, you didn't miss much. Kurupt and Daz were both there, as was Warren G, but neither of them did even a verse let alone a whole set-- they were just there to back up Snoop and shout along on the choruses. Warren did come up front to do most of "Regulate", but that was it. I actually had a great time but the whole thing was a ridiculous hustle-- Snoop was onstage for all of 45 minutes, and even then he barely rapped, letting the DJ do most of the work (and the crowd, who were perfectly content to shout out every word of every song). He did do "Sensual Seduction" along with most of his Doggystyle-era hits. My boss is a friend of the promoter so we got to spend the show in "VIP", which shouldn't be confused with backstage. I'm not complaining at all-- I got in for free and spent much of the night getting handed joints and free drinks-- but I can't believe that some folks in there paid $350 for the show. The lights were on by 12:40 and they started kicking everyone out pretty soon after that.

cooking. meeting. cleaning.

then i have to call around and get estimates from laundry services. speaking of that, anyone know a good hospitality laundry service? bar towells and aprons?

Ameripride? is that the one i'm thinking of?

yeah i tried to get a hold of them, but they haven't called me back yet.

any experience w/ g & k? i got an estimate from them, but it seems a little unreasonable.

spread sheet

most of the places i've worked at it's been ameripride.

i've been making so many copies today. also i found out i could go on a free cruise for work! but involves me being a chaperone. which means i get to go to costa rica for two weeks but don't get to party

I'd do it. Do you get paid?

nope. they just pay for my ticket and board

today i spent 4 hours printing out articles, holepunching them, and putting them into these huge folders for students as a coursepack available on reserve at the library. after making the stupid things I carried them to the library (they're fucking huge) only to find out that the library doesn't do coursepacks on reserve anymore. 4 hours wasted and my back hurts like shit

counting the minutes. 10 more and I am gone.

Today we made darts out of ballpoint pens, sewing needles, and guitar picks. Printed up a dart board on the laser printer and taped it to a quark board.

Pretty awesome.

wait what

ILU SSE MY HERO

is that some strange internet acronym i don't know?

I LOVE YOUU SPACESHIPEARTH MAY YOUR HUGE ERECTION RIP ME OPEN

how many times have i thought that, though. "i just want the earth to fuck me".

It's the truest expression of yr love.

today i am walking around staples center making tvs glow.

Making Anti-Aging Mist. Not a joke.

Sounds like catswilleatyou and I have a similar tasks at hand..

researching women's studies readers to organize my book and listening to the records that just came in the mail

Laughing while I read questions posed by young girls to one of our nurses in a discussion group, 1963.

"Is it necessary for a man to sperm before you can get pregnant?"

work today = huge headache. getting everything ready for a new employee to work saturday and sunday, which means rewriting a job description and standardizing recipes down to the tsp. plus doing all of the normal work things including INVENTORY. then bribing people to breakdown boxes for pie.


5 and a half hours to weekend bliss. see ya later 65 hour work week.

Discovering the existence of a pretty decent Vangelis LP. Salubrious would be proud.

I just typed "leadershit" for the 3rd time today.

HA! i always do that, too.

instead of "staff" i keep writing "fucking assholes".

fixing a shitload of guitars.
reconfiguring a pedal board.
watching the al jazeera livestream of shit in egypt

fixing things that have broken on tour in the past year that i haven't gotten to yet.

I'm e-working today

My mother, aunt and step-dad are all here to watch the baby while I'm working. My aunt is playing the piano, my mom is watching Lawrence Welk with my son and my step-dad is watching Jack LaLanne work out videos on youtube and following along in a work-out routine.

I am not getting any work done.

Wow. I wish I could come home just to relieve you of that torture. Has Nancy even noticed that the piano is out of tune yet?

Dropping my fake nails in the soup, watch out suckers

like you have a job

HMIS gets the gas face, ServicePoint gets the gas face, ClientPoint gets the big gas face, ART Reporting Tool-- shut up! Gas face! ES... ES... ESGP gets the gas face...

all i have done today is find shit i have fucked up and in the process of trying to fix it, I HAVE FUCKED UP MORE SHIT. GOD DAMN IT.

ohhh excel spreadsheets! ohhh also sorting through boring boring database stuff deleting multiple entries. eating jelly beans

i had four meetings so far. discussed things like discontinuing meds, health insurance, gas leaks, bedbugs, domestic abuse, frostbite. good times.

...getting ready to walk out

oh noes are you going on strike

surfing the net. not working.

final day of testing the upcoming software release and giving my feedback. returning my car and 6 hours of plane rides and drinking.

i f'ed around for a while then typed some stuff. Now I'm going to play hockey. CYA co-op!

conference call on my day off. mmm salary

i put my arm out for a blind client and she ended up accidentally holding my hand a little bit.

and then i kinda walked her into a snow bank.

Ok. 160 GB SATA 2.5" western digital hard drive; bought it yesterday. I mounted it in windows, and it showed the full 159GB ready to be allocated. I did a quick format. I tried using acronis to restore an old image to it, and could not get the image to restore. Afterwards, the drive reads as only having 35 GB of space. There's no partitions on it that XP's computer management tool can see, just 35GB of unallocated space. I format the drive, still only shows 35 GB available. I download a live cd version of gparted, a linux based file utility. It does not find the remaining space, even after using said utility to delete everything on the drive it can find.
I download the Western Digital disk diagnostics dos live cd. It recognizes the hard drive.... as a 35 GB drive. I tell it to do a low level zero. IT'S STILL READING AS 35GB. I try the windows version of the same tool, and it passes all SMART diagnostics.

4 hours in and I'm completely baffled. Halp?

make it go faster

this is just like Sphere.

Complaining to the Uline sales guy about the political prosleytizing in their catalogs, and how the agenda of their ownership is in direct conflict to the communities we serve.

Careful, he might have a crappy box cutter on him.

He stressed the diversity of their workplace.

-having a fight with my co-workers over a cat
-reading proposed legislation to cut and alter various county programs. some of the proposals include hundreds of homeless people losing their housing, and insure that hundreds more would become homeless. and some of them mean i would lose my job.
-trying to find programs that would help one of my clients should his "ending long term homelessness" housing subsidy get cut. he is 2nd generation homeless and all his brothers and sisters are/have been homeless.
- paying billz (not mine)
- having a supervisory meeting (ugh)
- posting on mrmb about all the stuff i should be doing

Data entry.

revising mailing lists, mailing thank you's, finding airling tickets for 12 people, listening to the faces

Fixing weird odds and ends:
-Putting the contract notes in the delivery completed form so one of the sales admins can enter warranty information after delivery without having to look this up seperately
-updating a spreadsheet so the purchasing assistant can enter POs easily after we rearranged the columns on her PO Lines form
-fixing a couple database records so we can update information on old equipment we own
-dicking around on the internet
-writing up some specs for our consulting company on what to do in case a couple different bullshits happen while I'm on vacation

eating what possibly is the most disappointing gyro ever. Boo Stadium Pizza, boo.

-Making four 12lb batches of granola in pilot plant.
-Checking the moisture contents of some cereal batches I coated yesterday. They came out a little low, which could be problematic.
-Thinking about stealing a Damico & Sons box lunch from the ppl who are still in a meeting. They always order too many anyways...

A tax return for an elderly couple. I was going through some of their medical expense documents and under prescriptions there is something called vaginal cream.

I thought old people didn't have vaginas.

What's going on here?

:(

Picking up thirty-five futon mattersses and throwing them into the basement. All things considered, this was easier than yesterday.

im watching gossip videos thinking about lunch

Removing the winter blankets and trying to make sure 650 TVs are all still working. I have 19 Trouble makers. Stressin hard about that... nearly 3%.

- worrying about the shit zsa zsa is dealing with
- yelling at a landlord who is ripping off a vulnerable adult
- referring the vulnerable adult to legal aid
- scheduling and worrying about a woman with a stalker ex-boyfriend who has been shot in the head and now has seizures
- scheduling a meeting with a dude who got caught selling/possessing crack
- scheduling a meeting with a woman who has had her mother living with her without informing us and has been screwing up other things (after being evicted from her last place for screwing things up)
- processing paperwork for a dude who looks like King Buzzo who was living in a van
- discussing in detail with the property manager the problems plaguing a program that we are assisting that appears to not help anyone
- gathering numbers that prove we are activity working on solving homelessness amongst veterans despite our speculated numbers

Currently looking at the back of my son's head (he really needs to brush out those dreads). He's sitting in my desk chair, watching videos, while I work from my comfy chair. We have the door shut but the walls don't go to the ceiling so he can still be heard when he talk-shouts at videos while wearing headphones.

Today's actual work has included:
- Taking proof of concept photos for one of the graphic designers
- Renewing SSL certificates
- Creating clones of production environments for programmers to use on the development server
- Deleting outdated clones of same
- QA testing a front end developer's work on a web site redesign
- Adjusting permissions for a client user account

Later I need to sit with the head of QA as he continues to train me in on PCI compliance testing/vulnerability management. Yep.

- being late for lunch
- getting mad

- Deleting outdated clones of same

what?!?!?! are you guys making some sort of race of My Main Man clone soldiers that are gonna control the population through the use of many hair care products and guitar solos?

I wish!

Everyone's jobs sound way more important than mine so I won't give a detailed account of how I sit and stare blankly waiting for work.

-JESUS CHRIST MAN I JUST WANT TO EAT MY LUNCH
-considering unplugging the phone on accident
-considering new employment

planning a florida vacation

Currently unemployed, so in the job of Housewife I am listening to mixtapes I made in the mid-90s while cleaning out the five junk drawers in the china cabinet. Maybe they won't all be junk drawers when I'm done.

RandiFountain, I recently started using elderly speak for junk drawers and I call them "the gallimaufry" and it makes them seem less messy.

Example:
Where's the masking tape?

Did you check the gallimaufry?

If I can get it down to one gallimaufry from five, it will be a reason to celebrate. And start calling it a gallimaufry. I like that.

I found cat food samples in one of the drawers that expired two years ago.

Same as RandiFountain, actually. As well as reading MRR.

- receiving invoices, meh
- calling customers about the weird things they are looking for, answer is NO
- making nice with the co-workers, always nice when a 3-day weekend is one hour away
- eating spoonfuls of raw honey cause I burned my mouth on pizza so hard it bled, yuk
- wearing socks on my arms, it's time to go soon....

To the nuthouse.
Socks are for the legs. THE LEGS.

playing air guitar to "Jump In The Fire"

at job 2 doing paperwork for job 1

Tutoring li'l Gs and trying not to barf.

Oh yeah:
-watching progress bars

oh oh oh, and listening to David Byrne's Radio station. I like.

Grading a beautiful Japanese audiophile pressing of one of Pink Floyd's absolute worst Lps.

ahhh the Division Bell

Final Cut

a box set of all the albums?

oh man. i love progress bars. especially the defrag bars.

if i ever open my own bar i should call it Progress Bar.

haha, The Final Cut, Clone? That's hilarious.

Progress Bar would be great. I would be willing to DJ there, playing all progressive rock all the time.

I can get behind this Progress Bar, excellent idea zsa!

Sadly, I prefer The Final Cut to a lot of PF albums.

Never been.

ahh...work! Getting calls from angry people regarding a gas line break due to LRT construction. Of course they evacuated everyone in the area except we're still here. Boo.

I left my workplace because my son was getting antsy and zipping around on the razor scooter, right into clients. Sigh.

Now working from my lady cave, with two laptops, when I'd really rather be taking a walk over to the library to pick up my hold items. Even with music on I can hear snow chunks skittering and sliding off the roof and it's making me jumpy.

that belongs in the rich man's problems thread

Skinner box.

your son also spanked me, tickled my stomach, chased me with a razor scooter and fired me. He's definitely getting a swirly next time I see him.

me and the other buyers made our boss cry today in an amazing show of solidarity. Sorry Boss.

I finally got to eat lunch

Hoo boy. Good thing we bugged out of there when we did.

I talked to really sweet old people all day about dying and what's going to happen with their money. I think the elderly (to me, 75+) are my favorite clients. They have such CRAZY stories!

That's hilarious, Orbit (I mean). The ULine catalog has been clogging my p.o. box for years and I've ever taken a look at the copy.

bending, reaching, scrubbing, drying, polishing, sweeping, moping, etc

trying to keep my eyes open

moping? Why so sad?


Today I am going out to a client's office for about 1 hour. And then I am coming back to my office to wrap up an audit.

mopPing, oops

i'm going to a client's apartment for about an hour. to get unintelligibly yelled at by a cuban. hopefully he is somewhat calmed by the massive amounts of cleaning products i brought him. he really likes to clean.

Well at least you may not have to worry about the bedbugs with the Cuban guy.

I will spend at least some portion of the day re-purposing a vintage poster for modern use.

Moping while mopping? What is it you do, with all this bending and the reacharounds?

goth mopping

covering a discussion section for a fellow TA who had a death in the family. They're working in small groups right now. I'm really rusty at teaching and I sort of think I have either gum stuck to my ass or have a huge hole in my pant's ass, because everytime i would write on the chalkboard i'd turn around and this girl in the front would have this huge smile like she was making fun of me. running immediately to the bathroom to check the ass sitch after this

Editing a 50-page document so incredibly stupid and terribly written that my brain might melt out my ears.

Literally doing no work. I have not slacked off this much in awhile. I have honestly not even pretended to be productive yet, and I've been here almost three hours already.

But in its place, it looks like "The Book of Mormon" is going to be worth getting tickets to, at least according to Ben Brantley.

Well at least you may not have to worry about the bedbugs with the Cuban guy.

actually no and no. first, eliminate the association between bedbugs and dirt in your brain immediately. it's totes wrong and a little offensive. second, he already had them, in his one couch. really really bad.

looking at myself in the mirror making sure i look ok

Sorry zsa no offense intended.

is cool. the only reason i don't live in a plastic room with a drain in the middle is because it would just provide a false sense of security.

Sorta like Dexter's kill room...minus the dead body of course.

I'm working from home today. But my co-workers are going on another Friday "fun run"

shooting laser at aerospace parts. helping ken sandburger with site map evacuation plans.

oh great. now we have to have a stupid potluck and everyone brought cookies.

and then listen to an uptight new accountant talk for an hour about the proper way to write a 3 line check request. atthe same time, i understand her pain as my co-workers are idiots. "so you write the date on the line that says name?"

Filing reports.

Finishing up a press release. QCing all the upgrades we're about to go live with on the website. Working the media for some coverage. Ghostwriting blogs. Meetin's, meetin's meetin's,

I'm on a real hot streak. Three and a half hours at work and still not a single moment of productivity. Wondering if I can turn this into a full day of doing absolutely nothing. #employersdream

One more conference call and then I'm ghost ridin' the whip.

I just did a bunch of push ups in the copy room.

you did one and then you copied it.

:D

Just got back from client's office. It was fun. Well sorta. Always nice to "do work" somewhere besides my own desk

taking LiDAR points and turning them into TINs then into DEMs for watershed modeling...wish I had a beer

About to run out to Costco and fill my car with juices, sodas and energy drinks. Then, I'm going to Zipp's to fill my car with booze.

You know who modeled watersheds without beer?
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Against policy!
And look where it got us. Don't make that mistake.

... looking up LiDAR, TINs, and DEMs (= Digital elevation modeling). SWEET

now i'm eating crackers.

I think the answer for everyone is drinking too much coffee.

I'M DRINKING COFFEE TOO

I'M DRUNK TOO

yeah the USACE is the devil in the water resources world...fuckers just like to damn and build shit to divert....

finished a proposal to install process piping for ground plastic
following up on old proposals
about to go to the bar with the boss

Since I got back from the client's office I haven't really done anything besides eat lunch, make fun of co-workers, and drink water.

made joke about embezzling in accounting meeting. accountant hates me now.

Getting the studio ready for a weekend of recording The Blind Shake with that special guest...

Isn't that hilarious? They have no sense of humor about that *at all.*

I'm about to go to work where I will regale everyone with the true story of last night's table who added shrimp to everything. Everything! veggieburgernobunplus shrimp

This office is about to explode with suppressed rage. Someone pick me up from hospital after that happens

I just got puked on while I was reading this. Then I cleaned it all up. And got puked on three more times.

oh adam my office is too!


veggie burger no bun plus shrimp?????? WTF. if a server dropped that off to me i'd refuse to make that

also - buffalo chicken salad plus shrimp and balsamic vinaigarette !!!!! sick. I laughed in their faces. They laughed too, it was cool.

LOL, there's a guy masturbating in the window of the hotel room across the street from my office.

Laser pointer! Go!

Does he have a noose around his neck Jenna?

Hahaha, I printed out and held up a sign that said, "BORING. DO A BACK FLIP OR SOMETHIN." and he closed the blinds.

Office rage level still rising

wow, this is the best, I am laughing so hard right now

poop on your desk to get him back

dang, that was a good one jennastix.

bravo, jennastix!

how close are your windows? did you get a good enough look at his penis to rank it on a 1 to 8 scale on both length and girth?

Jeez kb, what are you, the mystery window stroker?

Girth is such a creepy word, but at the same time Penii don't have width, they have girth.

Today I scrubbed gelatinized potato protein off the the screws from the extruder. I did this while standing over a pot of boiling hot vinegar wearing safety glasses and listening to Nicklback. Fuck today.

last week i took today off. so today i didn't go. i took two naps and took the dogs for a walk and drank a large pop. later i might do a home visit for a dog adoption.

im listening to el salon mexico.

busy work :(

I am getting ready to interview four college-aged girls for two summer intern positions. This is gonna be a tough choice...

Sent in a report, ate some french toast and coffee, smoked, got confused about some field compensation bullshit, messed around with email settings, made a trade on a Roth account...so basically nothing so far.

Later I will probably work on some exciting retirement plan presentations for next week.

Sitting at the front desk periodically putting a warm wash cloth on my eye...god damnit if I'm not getting pink eye. wtf!? I'm not a child, what gives?

stop putting your face in the toilet!!! jk that sux

about to grill some brats.

I blame the bus. So many nasties on the bus.

i just ate m and ms out of a communal work bowl

monitoring The Cars ticket sales, filling out tax forms, debating what to eat from the Depot. exciting!

once again going over Silent Auction items and correcting the tons of mistakes that my old coworker messed up. and trying to make sense of her organizational methods.

I still can't believe you got fake fired, blows my mind

owning the ping pong (makeshift) table

Drawing piping riser diagrams for plans for a medical college building. Going to Philly to measure a fountain for a new project. Tired from last night's show. Got to hang with Meatbag!!

Oh boy. Just got a big tax return back from the partner who reviewed it. For the first time ever, I have more than 1 sheet's worth of review notes. I thought it was just the one sheet and then I'm all like "hey what's this staple doing there" and then BAM.

I'm on a plane.

that means you're not at work

Unless she is a flight attendant.

Now I'm singing "popalarge don't preach, I'm in trouble deep.." in my head

listening to a coworker tell a customer on the phone about a LAN party

making pizza rolls for tomorrow's brunch. mmmm

Looking crazy.

printing out things, walking around the room looking busy

i have this giant .txt file with different sections and subsections about what i have TO DO and for WHO and what i DID and for WHO, and who i'm sposed to call. items of especial urgency are highlighted >>>> ... <<<<< or ((((((((xx ..... xx))))))))) or when things get really bad ((((((((FUCK>>>>> .... <<<<<FUCK))))))))))

then when i'm out of the office or house i print it out and carry it around in my planner.

i think i need a better system. maybe one that delivers electric shocks to me, with increasing voltage for every item still NOT DONE

Just said to the CEO: "Sorry. This wasn't the shirt I originally intended to wear today."

fuckin' haggling with customers thinking my pricing is too expensive. DO IT YOURSELF THEN, MOTHERFUCKERS.

I am doing ghetto science - I'm drying sand with a hairdryer

So far I have colored in a discolored spot on my black sweater with a Sharpie and talked to a coworker about her weird recent nerve surgery.

I've already had a co-worker in my office balling about how she didn't feel well. BALLING! Suck it up and go home if that is the case.

haha, Balling.

Jammin' to Bull Moose Jackson and avoiding what I can till Friday when the boss' return.

Just finished all my requisitions and invoicing. Now time for Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and TAL.

A few more tax returns. 1 week left!!!

I will polish several knives and set them on tables, then several big forks, then several small forks, then some spoons, then place some coffee saucers and bread and butter plates on the table, then polish some wine glasses, then place several napkins on the table, push some carts back to the staging area, go to a meeting, polish some plates and set them on the buffet, put some water glasses on answer sharon's multitude of dumb questions, pump some breast milk, stand around for a couple hours collecting all the silverware, glassware and plates I set out before or run back and forth putting food on the buffet, clean up the staging area, sit around eating dinner, clean up staging more, go home.

orders, cooking, cleaning hoods, stove, and oven, organizing storage, etc. the second most eventful day of the week, but feels pretty relaxed.

Today I've heard too many instances of folks saying 'I'm doing fine... for a Monday...'

Hey, I'm doing what Chinaski does, right?

Manny, do you find yourself being the sort of bartender/therapist of the office too?
I don't mind usually...gives me gossip for ammo.

trying to figure out drunken voicemails. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING. now i'm erasing them.

I was about to say!

just burned my hand pretty bad. slipped and put it flat on the flat top for a few seconds. imagine it.

Oh. My. GOD!!!

Some kind person from a bank or something just dropped off 36 oven fresh cookies from some bakery, not sure the name, but they write the time that the cookies were taken out of the oven on their so you now how fresh they are. These suckers haven't even been alive for a full hour yet.

I'm eating like I'm pregnant today.

Also, I think I might be pregnant.

I went on a ride in a convertible!!! Good monday.

Now you can really give five on the black hand side.

omg boris

Dad says no pregnancies.

your office looks like....something from a movie.

day off! i'm going to the wienery

Today I am getting an overwhelming number of useless, irrelevant e-mail responses griping about something I sent out last week from people too arrogant to read the original e-mail where I specifically explained to them why I was sending them the e-mail in the first place. Which I predicted when my boss asked me to send the e-mail.

Fucking KILL me must go to happy place and recite tapeheads mantra.

man. i hate constantly worrying that my job will be cut. is this how all you corporates feel? this is terrible.

Yep. In fact, after the meeting we just had, I, along with presumably everyone else, am spending the rest of my day looking for jobs. sigh.

spinning class at the YWCA, lunch

spending time at my regular job emailing into the black hole of an occasional freelance thing i do that never really is good at sending me checks or replying to my emails

OH NO jstix!

Bright sides:

-I took out 2400 bucks on my flex spending this year and spent it ALL on my new teeth. Right now, 100 bucks comes out of each paycheck paying it back. If we go under, I don't have to pay it back.
-My resume looks fucking amazing.

Dark sides:
-Uh, the economy still sucks right?

oh man that sucks. Are you actually laid off or just worried it will happen?

Ah, man... sorry to hear that, jennastix. SUCKS.

Sorry to hear that Jenn :( I'm sure you'll be just fine and plus you got some nice new teeth!

I'm not worried about layoffs, but this tax season has been very slow and I think we are finally really getting hit by the recession after not taking that big of a hit the last couple of years. I guess everyone always needs an accountant. Not sure if people left for cheaper accountants/HR Block or whatever, but my workload this tax season was much less than it was last year.

As of the 15th of May, "The company has no plans of how to meet payroll expenses."

They've already laid off all but a super skeleton crew. I'm one of three who made it on the support staff after the last round of layoffs. I do about three peoples' jobs right now on top of my own.

I think this, but I don't think I actually want it. If something were to force my hand, however.....

My resume will look awesome whenever I leave this job, so I do have that going for me.

Yeah, I suppose it COULD have happened in December. Being poor in the summer ain't all that bad. Anyways, I'm optimistic. NOW. I've kind of been toying with the idea of going to school to get certified in something that I really have wanted to do for a while... Personal training/fitness/nutrition/physical therapy. I haven't been in school for over 10 years! Scary.

Sorry, Jstix. Your day is making my day look better, although I'm about to offer you a switch.

Well, I've got 17 days of PTO to use... and tomorrow's looking like a pretty day for riding out to the como park conservatory...

another wacky day at the office for Lezzy!

What are you up to today, Bon-bon?

well today me and my sole coworker went to a meeting where we learned how to update our website. his name was Ron. then afterwards we went to Kowalski's to pick up a silent auction gift. then we stopped at office max for ink toner. they didn't have it :( then my coworker said "my stomach feels like i did a bunch of coke". suddenly buckcherry's "lit up" comes on my radio

When you were at OfficeMax, did you tell the cashier that your brother's name was Max and that you were on your way to an office? I bet they would have appreciated that story.

I sorted packages of metric bolts and lag screws for 7 hours. Fuck you guys and your fun days.

I also bought a fire pit and some Adirondack chairs.

oh oh i should have. then stopped at a sam goody then been all. oh wait :(

I am getting paid $22.00 to go on the MRMB for the next hour.

LIFE SUX.

Today I am turning down grad school offers because I cannot afford to attend them. I also have a cold. I am also trying to elicit pity drinks from people on the internet because my life is sooooooooo haaaaard.

Brought the kid down to the studio during his afternoon naptime.
Replaced the filter capacitors on a Fender Hot Rod Deville
Replaced the master volume pot on the first channel of an Orange AD30
Prepping a few pedals for construction.
When j_j gets here in a few minutes and takes the kid I will be mixing a record for the excellent band Arms Aloft from Eau Claire.

abomb, i just PMd you a Tom Collins.

Hey, thanks! It's really e-hitting the spot.

I fucking kicked ass today.
Fixed a bunch of data problems, fixed the fucking MRP system, updated some reports, figured out how to make the SQL server email me query results, figured out a billing dispute (we lost to the tune of $1200, fuck), etc.

Made a long ass blog post on MPLS.TV

Life is good after tax season.

I have watched four episodes of The Office season 3 on Netflix. I have taken a 2 hour nap. I have eaten cereal. I am now eating a sandwich. After this sandwich, I might draw up some interior design plans.

stuff related to what I actually get paid for:

warmed breast milk and fed the baby a couple times
I am the only one who can put him down for a nap because only I can sing the songs he needs (job security!)
let the baby crawl around and check out all kinds of stuff he has only been able to stare at until recently.
pull out a giant gob of slobbery hair from his mouth
wipe a butt
apply butt cream (both to the baby)

putting my two week notice in.

Nice. You got anything else lined up or just done?

well of course my other job.(5 years at the end of this month!) otherwise have been casually looking. saw something a couple days ago that I would love to do. resume is almost there.

I just witnessed one co-worker performing a ballad, with a mouth harp, in honor of another co-worker in our lounge area.

"Talking during the performance will not be tolerated. Please only attend if you respect and love Jachin. If you don't attend it is assumed that you do not.

After the show there will be refreshments and snacks that you can get yourself in the kitchen."

That sounds a lot more fun than the OSHA online training i'm about to start. Maybe a mouth harp would make this shit more fun.

Ooh, what did you bring? Dilly Bars?

my awesome friend and co-worker unexpectedly brought in dilly bars yesterday.

Pretty much. So lame. They make a group of three responsible every month, and the two ladies I was hooked up with just wanted to run to Rainbow and buy ice cream bars. I figure, if you have to do this, why no do it up? Like, sundaes and root beer floats and such? Not these broads. Only the crappiest stuff for them.
To make it worse, I spaced that a couple of my co-workers are vegan, and didn't think to grab some soy-based stuff for them. FAIL.

missmaam, we just had the wet vac going and there are towels pressed up against the garage doors by the back offices. I'm sure the bucket on the wall above my desk is full by now.

I'm good now.
Thank god for A/C at the afternoon gig!

I am hoping our temporary arrangement of 5 small A/C units in the primary server room can maintain a good 70 degrees. If it doesn't I am hoping the fail-over to the secondary server goes smooth. Trying to kill this stressball with caffeine.

Oh dip! The board is magically and suddenly unblocked by the filter at work!

I just walked into an empty half lights on office. No cars in the lot, no nothin'. Is it a holiday or something? I guess I'll just chill here with my snacks.

Trying to finish everything up as quickly as possible cause I am siiiiiiick and want to go home.

First day at work since last Monday. BRUTAL

Walking on the treadmill desk. Trying to catch up on all these requests. Rescheduling my 11am meeting because no way in hell I'll be ready. Wishing I could press pause on everyone else to give myself some extra time.

Feeding sharks, making coffee, making copies, and trying to stay awake.

Sharks?

Also trying to avoid the giant box of donuts a co-worker just brought in. And to eat my apricots instead. Bah.

Eating a donut.

Drinkin lots of decaf Starbucks coffee and sitting in orientation meetings all day

Avoiding the donut-eating My Main Man. He's covered in powdered sugar!

concept mapping!

feeling kind of ill

Swtiching the Pandora station because a Lenny Kravitz song came on.

talking about World Peace with immigrants.

aghhhhhh there is only one thing I have left to do but I have to wait on someone else before I can get started.

just took a nice long shower, AT WORK!

The graphic design place I work at has a shark tank. 4 baby sharks. The space was once a restaurant space so the aquarium came with it. I get to thaw out frozen squid and shrimp and dangle it over the aquarium.

I just discovered my work has a shower and lockers which means I can cycle to work all the time! Which is awesome cause my license is about to be suspended..

Haha I know where you work B+B! Was surprised to see it open as a non-restaurant after Temple shut down. I liked Temple. They had good happy hour deals, notably Anchor Steam ON TAP for $3!

Good eye kobby

I remember going there at least 10 years ago, maybe more, it was a seafood restaurant then and I think that's who put in the awesome fish tank.


I have been coasting today, but still quite a bit more productive than last Monday, my last day before vacation. I am about to fill out m1pr forms for about 10 clients. I need to do my own still.

drinking alot of water and cleaning lots of things.

Eating lunch, listening to Common Man, and hoping I don't have to talk to any customers.

taking pictures of junk, overcoming an existential crisis, trying to make the skin on my knee grow back

tonight: sitting around on a computer while 3-4 people study for the GED exam.

Big V and his wife were just in the store. They didn't buy anything.

just deleted 15,000 emails, page by page, 35 at a time. then i saw the empty folder option after i got down to 5,000. good day

Trying not to worry about the week I'm about to take off.

just moved into a newly remodeled cube.

office live is depressing.

Low productivity and Sisters Of Mercy music.

Relocated my very productive day from the office to my couch at home, where I am still working through requests (and listening to The Oscillation) instead of hanging out with my awesome kid. Pile it on!

I'm now doing what I said i was going to do before.

im waiting for a delivery and eating an omelet. the delivery was scheduled for 2:30 X-(

I'm bouncing apache on the dev server ONE LAST TIME and then I'm signing off. To make dinner for my son, and help him pack for a camp overnight.

I don't have a job, but I'm just going to start yelling 'batman' and punching random things from now on. in public.

I just had to actually teach someone algebra for 10 minutes and i was SO. PUT. OUT.

teaching algebra turns me on. teaching calculus gives me a raging hard-on.

we should totally hook up, QT.

I, uh, ... what?

jk, I'm gay, and so I don't do math chyx

Watching coworker and regular play cards. Counting down the days till I'm done.

one of my favorite clients came in - he is the only dude on my caseload that is METAL AS FUCK

shows up wearing a marduk shirt talking about his new black metal band and when i ask if he is hispanic, he goes, "no, norwegian". then we talk about old minneapolis metal dudes and he gives me the metal horns as a departure

i have no idea what to do today at work. yesterday i scrubbed the bathroom. then cleaned and organized two rooms here. now i have no idea. nothing left to clean.

Missing My Main Man, because he's stupidly sick again today. And he just missed the fresh baked cookies delivered from Tank Goodness.

holding myself back from jumping out the window

bummin' hard when all i really want is to be over it

Lunch break!

my co-worker just caught me doing burpees in the copy room.

they're actually making me do stuff today. it's weird they haven't made me do anything for almost two months now. still gonna try and get out here early

played some air hockey in the conference room. i got owned.

Ah ha! MexicanAirlines works next door to me.

hook me up w/ a long dong homie

Progressing on the different projects in the shop today:

- Martin Neck Reset (newish Martin about 2002, I think... bolt-on neck and white glue the joint) Neck's about ready to be glued back on with HIDE GLUE this time.

- (Nicer) Shen upright bass neck replacement... the original neck was broken in a golf carting accident. This one's an adventure.

- Fretwork for Paul Borman's guitar. It's gonna be so pretty.

Taking silly photos and having silly photos taken of me (in the middle, on the scooter)

this guy is making the most noise ever. like high piercing whining. he is ok. mostly. just annoying. so all i'm really doing is trying to ignore it.

In the office for the first time since Friday. Ate some leftover pizza with a natural soda, now walking it off on the treadmill while deleting shit from the development server.

thankfully i've leaving an hour early to go drink free beer

Still on the treadmill. My Main Man just busted out some linedancing moves to entertain me.

Waiting...

catered a tiny party, getting everything together for my second day off for the work week. getting ready for a 7 day week starting on friday. probably doing inventory just for fun.

Going inside a house with a pipe organ built into its balustrade.

Oooooh. I don't suppose you can take photos of it?

Going inside a house with a pipe organ built into its balustrade.

what job do you have that you get to see stuff like this this and are you hiring?


today there was a huge company-wide picnic but it was a No-Contractors-Allowed event.
so three of us 'left-behind' sort of worked but mostly fucked around all afternoon.

being annoyed that i have to work today

I'm all done at my two jobs!!!!!

Working a last minute awake overnight shift with Gene Marshall's "Jimmy Carter Says Yes" running through my head

At the moment I only work (self (un)employed) at home, so that means "procrastinating".

I worked my ass off, only stopping occasionally to do my job.

I call everything I do 'work'.

You don't wanna fuck with me or rock with me. Or rhyme on any block with me.

i had a big plan to start in on an organizing project but i'm stressed out and distracted and sweaty cause the air conditioning is off again and it's the beginning of no smoking week again

just still pissed and hating my job

I woke up at 9:55 this morning. By accident. Slept through TWO alarm clocks. I made it work by 10:30, only 2.5 hours late.

thinking about doing some push ups

procrastinating on 4 hour lesson plan! I have 30 minutes to get it together. WOOOF.

so much shit, ahhH! this quick board/facebook/email break must end. goodbye cool world.

Starting my training at new job today. I feel like we're freshmen in high school.

When? Seems like you should have been training for awhile already.

Time to get crackin' kiddo.

My client wrote me a note today:

"Rxxx sorry I called you a bitch cuz yr not"

I made this radical video. (yesterday, really)

Been working from home most of the week with my son. I miss the treadmill desk at the office. And as relieved as I am to have my son home from the hurricane, the little fucker is LOUD. Even with my headphones on.

designing the online component for a course that my adviser is teaching. Spark is such a shitty program

I am making custom welcome messages for all of the suites next week. Getting ready for what could be a 20 mile coworker bike ride.

fucking running around like crazy. WHY DO ALL YOU PEOPLE WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY TO BUY YOUR DAMN FOOD FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND???????

I get to be on the phone for the first time today. A ton of people are gonna be put on hold today

Collating and binding proposals because everyone else decided to take the day off. :(

drawing demonic dogs and eating ice cream

wishing my sword collecting coworkers sitting next to me would shut the fuck up

Weeping internally that my planned do-nothing weekend just got co-opted by a client's need for a shitload of analysis and charts due on Tuesday.

Grinning externally that my planned do-nothing weekend just got monetized in a big way, during which I will get paid while watching college football games from 11am to midnight on Saturday.

Wishing adam would reply to my emails.

what emails?!

Well, I sent you at least one. This better be like your phone not getting the texts I sent you. Are you trying to tell me something adam?

how many samurai swords do you own that you bought at an Irish fair?

None, I swear!

Trying to figure out which electronic device in this room is best suited to transmitting waves of pure firey hate directly into someone's brain.

Good thing I don't have a soldering iron.

Wishing people could edit their thoughts a little before talking.

Also, earlier, laughing at Rickenbacker's woefully decrepit outgoing message on their answering machine. It must be an actual cassette-deck unit that has picked up thousands and thousands and thousands of times. It starts with the big chord from the beginning of "A Hard Day's Night" before going to the menu options, but at this point it sounds like a shopping cart full of empty cans hitting a plate-glass window.

just called :)

how did you unscramble

I figured out that with a smartphone I can work at the fair without having to have a job at the fair. Next year I'm spending weekdays 8-5 there and with office hours in the usually-quiet coliseum from 10-11:30 and 2:30-4.

I don't get people who complain about being bored at work.

If they offered me the same pay and benefits to sit in an empty room and stare at a blank, white wall for 8 hours a day, I would take it.

i get to learn about default, cash reversals, property insurance, property loss and something called IRIS today

upper mgmt is gone today and we got bop it in the house.

bird?

Debugging our syteline mrp system. Problem is between purchasing manager's chair and keyboard.

Listening to The Men. Grumbling a little because a client just changed their mind about something and now I have to do the work all over again.

Crying from boredom. Reviewing product knowledge stuff that I already know. Phone internetting, which I hate.

puff puff wha?

the internet is broken and my dumbphone only has like 3gs ha

i dont work fridays; dont bother me with this trifling bullshit.

grindin'

i just got back from lunch with some microsoft goons. now i have to feign interest in the complexities of a crm upgrade. anyone want me to skype them into the meeting?

Microsoft sales pitches are hilarious. Here's the new shit. Hope you like it, because we're microsoft and what other options could you possibly have? Well thanks for coming out. Here's a free Zune. Pretty neat huh?

this was more of a "let me ask you this" and "do you do push ups" kind of meeting

Margarita Friday!

yo i be killin phone support

talking with lori about all kinds of animals. pretty good work convo. couple hours of that.

Shipping pointy, be-skulled guitars to the Deep South.

I did some stuff, and then I left early... That was the highlight of my day to be sure.

I had 2 hour conversation with a Cuban client. We have a different version of the same conversation every week. Its so frustrating. Usually involves alot of yelling.

the last hour of being in my office was taken up by watching jersey shore

bowling

being the government as fuck

just walked to a store. looks like im gunna get done a little earlier than i thought...

b strong

naw, quit

I didn't say don't quit.

i just keep thinking about the healthcare and how much i love shopping.

i know that feeling. i love my job. but i can't handle my boss. and i think i'm ready to take a break from social services....a long break.

grappling with technology nightmares

had a panic attack in the office. went home. drank some beer. dictated some ideas for the diss. going on a 'date' in a bit.

'date' = talkin' shop with juggalos over skype

PITPAT FUCK I TOLD YOU THAT IN CONFIDENCE

donny is all "yo guys, when i buy those black cargo pants with zippers and shit all over 'em, is it better to get them 42/36 or 48/32?

ugh i hate my job and everything about it 90% of the time. there are some nice things like i make my own schedule to some extent, i can take a vacation whenever i'd like, i get paid well, i have free healthcare, vision and dental, i dont really have a supervisor, and i have absolute creative control.

but god dam i just cant stand anyone around here. and i feel like everyone is just taking advantage of me and making my job suck. also, i've been here two years without even the smallest pay raise. really i feel like this job is stealing my soul. it's totally crushing all of my personal relationships and making me pissed off and tired when i'm not at work.

yeah thanks a lot.

btw, i have a pair of 42/36 black cargo pants with 37 zippers on them. $75 or best offer.

juggalo culture not for sale.

there was a girl on youtube named twistedash. i watched her channel all the time. it was like a window into another world.

she still owes me $20 for some studded straps i sold her jugallo.net. cut off

she had a how-to video of a juggalo cake that was two boxes of bownie mix, snickers bars, marshmallows, frosting, chocolate chips, and circus peanuts, mixed up and half baked, then topped w/ cool whip, life savers, strawberry syrup, and chocolate sprinkles.

apparently it just sets itself when I lock the door. Fuckin technology.

some kind of black magic, apparently there is a soul from a virgin teenager trapped in the keypad that knows when I leave and can start masturbating/alarming the building.

zsa zsa how is ur nite gonna turn out

no idea! i have to pick up some workout videos. i'm doing some laundry.

good trajectory

About to start on some rich guy's tax return. It will take me about 30-35 hours to finish. A complicated business tax return takes about 12 hours at most, to give you some perspective.

Sneezing. A lot.
Bundled up in my comfy chair with my office door shut.
Reading about unix system logs.
Thinking about Swans tonight and hoping I feel better by then.

I'll be saying that while I work at Big V's tonight, too.

Everytime I float, I'm reminded that I work on the most dysfunctional unit.

oh nice. you work somewhere with no gravity and still you're all complaining about your co-workers. oh does susan chew her chip too loud. you poor thing.

Wrote a report to dig through a database application and make documentation for it. Tomorrow: consolidating / deleting unneeded features.

On top of doing the work of three people who were layed off or have pursued more gainful employment elsewhere, I'm having to do my latest setback analysis over again because the developer gave me the wrong information. So, that's 7 hours down the drain on top of an already overloaded work day. >:(

Having this new job prospect on the verge of coming to fruition is making some of the bullpucky I put up with around here almost unbearable. Sigh, I'm trying to stay positive, but I just caught myself scowling. I need to get out of here, it's poisonous. It wasn't always this way, and I'm so grateful for everything that has been thrown my way, but it's high time to move on... that's for sure.

Pushing paper. My desk is almost cleared off and ready for another stack of files.

Finally finished that rich guy's tax return!!! He is paying more in taxes this year than I will earn in 5 life times.
