work: December 2001 Archives


What the hell happened to today? My whole sense of time just shifted. Since I forgot to do my laundry last night, I dragged my butt out of bed early this morning to finish it. (Actually I woke up at 4:30 in the morning, but there was no way in hell I was dealing with soiled underwear at that time of day).

So for a change, I actually accomplished something before work. Normally I'm lucky to get my shoes on before 9 AM.

Monday mornings usually slip by due to our staff meeting, which breaks up the time. But by the time my body started saying 'lunch', I looked at the clock to see that it was 1:30 already. I didn't actually eat till 2, followed by a meeting at three. Then I just worked on smoe projects for the next two hours.

I guess it was all there. But it... *ftt*... right by.


I looked at my reflection in the elevator button panel. And of course I thought...

"Damn, I'm beautiful."

Maybe I need to cut back on the sugar.

I went into work today to set up the computers for a new employee who's starting tomorrow. And man, if I didn't mooch out everything in that office of any value for use in my office. I have a new stereo, computer and monitor stand. I was generous and left them the lamp. New people really get left with the shit.
