All the bosses are gone from my office, possibly for the rest of the week? But yet I'm still supposed to do my work! WTF is up with that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes, that is a lot. If one of my writers sent me a 77 page document to edit, I would stare unbelievingly at the monitor.
It's a "instructions for how to do this very complicated stuff if the two people in the entire company who know how to do them get hit by a bus" document.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Well sure, that's my standard stuck-in-a-meeting fantasy.
Mine is for the Gentlemen to show up, quiet everyone down, and perhaps start the count around the table so that I'm the eighth or subsequent person.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am msbelle WRT work fantasies. I also fantasize about having enough money to remodel kitchen and add a deck in the backyard, and to hire someone to come in and clean the house once a week.
And as long as I'm fantasizing, I want Frances to magically get into a good school next year so I can stop worrying about it. I heard more dirt about the magnet school. They got pegged for cherry picking off the wait list and are being watched like hawks this year. Dayum.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I was fantacizing just this morning about hiring someone just to do all my ironing. As it is, I just don't do most of it.
OMG y'all I have done like negative work today. No good comes of this.

(Can you imagine I was made to look bad in front of my boss because a co-worker didn't collect his requirements because I had only asked him to do it?)
Doesn't that give you license to MAKE you're co-workers do what they are supposed to? Lots of possibilities there if the bosses don't define HOW you're supposed to make them.

Perhaps the best cake ever. I mean, come on. Just the mottling alone!
WOW.
I dream of... I dunno. The ability to stop time for everyone but me for a few hours a day, just so I can get things done.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I dream of enough money and time to pursue acting full time.
I'll actually hit that point in about two years. (Once I get a new job, pay a couple of debts, build up the voice over work, and fix my foots.)
