Glad you're at least done with tedious task! I am headed to my next destination and annoyed at all the people who emailed me today, and the people who didn't. (Because some of them need to just hush, and others of them need to respond to their damn emails!)

Because some of them need to just hush, and others of them need to respond to their damn emails!

Isn't that always the way?

"Maybe -t will find some clever work around that will accomplish the same thing as the awful job"

I remember at one particularly tedious temp job thinking to myself, if you gave me about three days, I could code this all for you, and you could fire me and the four other people here doing this inane job. But I just kept my mouth shut and did the data entry, because, job. Then the company was subsumed in a hostile takeover, and the buying company gave me all kinds of expensive bribe shit, like a crystal clock, to thank me for my loyal service and to assure me that I was a valuable part of the team and they would continue to treasure my work until they fired everyone in about a week. I was all, uhh...I'm a temp? And anyway, I got recruited by Boeing and became a contractor for about three times the salary and a tenth of the work. So.

Man, today I have about a seven minute attention span. I just cannot keep focused on anything. I think maybe I should go eat lunch and read a book for a bit, seeing as how it's three and a half hours after lunchtime.

I saw Potted Potter a couple years ago. It's fun.

Skipping (or inadvertently delaying by a lot)lunch, I always find, shortens the attention span.

I got hired as a temp for a two-day job of typing. It was for a three-page report. I finished it in two hours--with a retype because I missed a word. The boss stared at me for several minutes when I told him I was done, then studied the report a while, then stared at me. Even on a manual typewriter it wouldn't have taken me two days to type three pages. I knew I was doing myself out of money, but I physically couldn't type slow enough without throwing more errors.

I got home and am reunited with my beloved phone and the poor thing has sat here on the couch all day quietly running out of juice.

Poor phone of -t.

We discovered today that I dont know where I live. I mean, I know where my house is but not where it is located. We get mail addressed to both Denver and Littleton. My zip code crosses three different counties. And, of cousre, I sent CJ to the wrong county DMV. I would have sworn all the closing documents said Jefferson County, but apparently we are Denver County. Oy.

Suzi, my brother is in Denver now! So...I dunno, watch out for a tall bald tattooed dude.

Timelies all!

We are having another round of "WTF,Weather?" here. Temps dropped 10 degrees from yesterday.
