"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

You know what I hate? When you help someone out by doing their job up until the point that their expertise is needed, and they simply pass it along. Case in point -- I typed up (and I HATE typing) some paperwork for our budget person because she is really busy (and she flipped out about typing the paperwork when my boss cced her on the email). However, I know nothing about the accounts or the special coding that you have to do in the paperwork. So, I type it up and leave it in her mailbox with a note saying that the account number needs to be filled on (or something to that effect) and I get a call from the accounting people saying that the account number is missing. GRRRRR! You had to do ONE THING!!!! instead, you just put it in an envelope and sent it on its merry way without even looking at it!!

I am utterly lacking in motivation. Help, help, I'm being unmotivated!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm actually having to use lunch as a motivating tool. As in, I'm not allowed to go get lunch until I finish this stupid part of this stupid thing I'm working on.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think my eardrums may explode. Our alarm company is installing new equipment and needs to set off the alarm after every installation. It has gone off five times this morning. We're told we can ignore it (after going outside four times), but in addition to the normal beep beep beep, there is this high pitched ear piercing continual beep. Apparantly it is designed to make sure people leave the building. It makes me feel like I am in a Steven King book or Threshold and will start bleeding from my eyes, ears and nose and become deformed while I die.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Do the alarm installers have blue gloves?

If the weekend doesn't improve on the week you had, what's the frelling point? Oh well, at least my car's inspected for another years (now with Brand! New! Exhaust SYSTEM!).

I already ate lunch, so I need to find other ways of bribing myself. I was thinking maybe I could go buy myself some DVDs and CDs after work, but now I'm thinking, dude, that would require effort. Effort bad.

shrift, you are clearly not utilizing the convenience of online shopping nearly enough.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yeah, but the thing about online shopping is that gratification is not instant. Unless you're downloading songs from iTunes or something.
