Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am on episode 2 of Locke and Key, and I REALLY want the kitchen!

I think my boss is just used to me, so if she wants pens, she just tells me she wants pens, I pick some out, and order them. The assistant she asked is so afraid of someone getting mad at her, she wants someone to go through the catalog and provide her an order number. It is the same thing- she keeps giving "easy" things to the students, but they require me to say, show them how to address an envelope or what a folder is (they scanned and saved the items in a folder on the computer instead of labeling a Manila ffolder!) I can usually head this off if I am giving direction. The poor assistant- I was just like pick out some pens that write! Any pens! Do they make marks on paper? Then I am happy- I have no pens that write!

Thrive to spite them

I'm sorry you are having to deal with that assistant Sophia.

Work was so slow today.

It snowed! and then it rained and the snow is pretty much gone. But it snowed and was foggy and there was like NO ONE or they were all at the Sears that is having a closing sale.

We have had horrible weather all week (pouring rain WITH torandoes close by earlier) so not a lot of customers and I hit my threshold tonight with how much recovering and folding and making things look nice I could do. I finally got to leave an hour early. I may have forgotten to take my ADD meds this morning because by the end of the evening I felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack from trying not to wander off or bounce off the walls or do something inappropriate.

Thinking back on it I should have gone to the other side of the department and done recovery there because it never really looks like they go in and clean out the clearance or make the backsides of certain shelves look nice but I was too mind numbingly bored to think about it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is anyone watching the Netflix Locke and Key? I am not sure I like it, but I LOVE the house. I think I am just watching to see more of the house.

Ha! We're watching it and JZ has PROFOUND house lust.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Oh, fucksticks, I've got double cousins.

(And a Swearengen, which totally justified the cussing.)

Herding cats for fun

Enjoyed Locke & Key. I like seeing the gorgeous house but keep thinking I wouldn't want to vacuum it.

Also Uncle Duncan is shady, which is weird because Aaron Ashmore is always cast to be adorkable.

I didn't even recognize Aaron Ashmore! Maybe Rufus vacuums, too, as well as pushing leaves off the porch and "taking care of the grounds".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMGGGGGG

'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"

I'll get to Locke and Key soon -- sounds like my kind of fun, especially the house lust. I've just discovered Bitten, so I'm binging my way through that.

My boss was like-where is the folder ??? When she got the documents back. It wasn't even on the shared drive!

They also do not check voicemail. I finally realized that they though I was superseding voicemail by giving them other tasks. No- still check the voicemail and the email IN Addition to your projects.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sophia, do you have process documents for tasks. And a daily/weekly tasks document?
