rollercoaster

Life at an office is a rollercoaster:

I'm down because they changed the bathroom soap and insetad of the nice almond-y smell we got a floor-cleaner smell.

I proceed to go down four floors to get a coke and I get giddy because I manage to turn on all the motion detectors and now I have 4 flights of stairs illuminated.

I get to the vending machine only to be dissapointed by it: no more Diet coke until Tuesday (since Monday is Labor Day and we don't work on Labor Day).

And then it's time to go home and I'm happy again.


The first time I worked here was back in October. I was totally freaked out and I ended up being sick for a week. The worst cold and coughing fits since I was 6. I was working once a week only so I missed my second day at work.

gills

I got yelled at by a french guy: Gills

It's not my fault this whole telephone system is fucked up so I keep receiving calls for three different numbers in one telephone. Asshole. gah!

Why isn't anyone updating? I'm "working" and I need something to do dammit!
I've been looking at gifts for mother's day. I need to thank my mother for all her kindness.

Like yesterday, she came home with tho t-shirts for me. I knew why since the minute I saw them and I still got surprised when my mommy told me: See? these look better in you than the ones you've used all week.
Gee, thanks mom, you really know the right way to a girl's self esteem.

something.to.think

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the communists
and I did not speak out — because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out — because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me —
and by then there was no one left to speak out for me.

— Pastor Martin Niemöller


As I said in a comment in other blog, Im weary of the us versus them mentality. Be it war, smoke, pollution, development, immigration, meat or whatever.
I heard the piece above in a tv show with Murphy Brown only she wasn't Murphy Brown.

one.year.old

So, TomKat's alien has landed. I was reading Celebrity Baby Blog and found this:

Boris and Nicole are actors best known from Soul Food on Showtime, where they met. Married in May 2005, they have a one year old daughter named Sophie Tei Naaki Lee, who is 13 months.

huh?

wa.wa.wa

two comments, I'm blushing!
You are really nice. Thank you.


I'm working again. With the same people as before.
I thought that convincing 260 people of giving you an interview whenever they wanted it was hard.
Now I'm trying to convince 260 people to be at the same place at the same time. THAT'S though.
I'm making around 60 calls a day just to hear the same things repeated over and over again: The attachment didn't come, Yes that's the right address, I can't tell if you if we got it or not because the email guy isn't here, Can you fax it? (it's 92 pages people!) Call in five minutes, Call in an hour, Call tomorrow before 3, Call tomorrow after 11.

And to top it off, if I make any sudden moves, my telephone stops working. But at least I'm not in a cubicle.

See? I'm an optimist.

tax.question

Can I deduct the bullet I'm about to put in my head? Or is it a non-bussiness related expense?

I fucking hate taxes.

Did you thought I had jumped ship?

ME TOO!

But I finally returned. Sort of.
