[Me] "My boss is such a scatterbrain. He took off this week and left all these loose ends for me to tie up. Its crazy mom, crazy.

[Mom] "How did this guy get that job anyway?"

[Me] "I dont really know. He has a Phd."

[Mom] "Yeah, but he doesn't have a clue."


Cheers mom. Cheers.

yeah, mondays suck. I'm usually ready to do a ton of stuff on monday but i always get bogged down by other people and nothing gets done. we hold out production meetings on mondays and they always kill about an hour and a half in the middle of the day. Today all i did was ask rick a simple question and it turned into an argument. this guy is amazing, i try to give him credit because just about every job goes through him because he buys the materials, so i ask simple questions like "where would a good place be to get a price on titanium tube?" not hard, he's the purchashing guy, i'd like to think he'd be the first place to stop and ask if i have a question like that, but no, he ends up giving me grief and it always turns into a big ordeal, today i just said fuck it. "rick, fine, i just won't give you credit anymore and i'll stop asking you anything, do you have a problem with that too?" he rambled on and i walked away. fucking mondays

"PCLoadLetter?!
The fuck is that?!?"

Each time I feel like I'm making progress on something I'll get a constituent calling for help with something. Then I end up researching like Medicare Part D for an hour and networking with state agencies to hook them up with some help. Seriously, if you guys are running into actual grief with something that the locals aren't handling - call your state legislator! But not me. Fortunately I take care of no towns any of you live in.

haha...every time I make a copy at work, I say that line and giggle to myself as people eye me as if I were insane...perhaps I am?

My work showed office space in the auditorium. Then paid us to take the two hours to watch it. I don't think anyone in management had seen the movie though. I base that on there hearing complaints about the language afterwords. Either way it was good afternoon. Today they gave me a .05$ waterbottle that says {company name here} on it. I was all rosy until they doubled my work load, and suggested that I shorten my vacation. Oh well, such is life.
