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.

I need people to let me know if a bus crash in Chicago makes national news so I will know to check in with my parents.

Brenda, you all good?
