I just missed a phone call from someone who wanted to offer me a job - and the voicemail was unclear as to which business he was from. I called the number back (because he only said "call me on this number") and they said I had the wrong number. I thought, "well, crap," and was prepared to foward it...
He gets paid to do this. Well, not paid to do this, but he gets paid while he's doing it.
We had a meeting at work today to determine where we could 'cut costs' and try to save money. With fuel prices rocketing up again, and our business relying heavily on being mobile around the state, my boss is just finding it finacially necessary to try and save money wherever possible. So as I...
I just thought a client severly underpaid (by over $100,000) on their account based on a completely erroneous invoice I created, but it was just underpaid by less than $2.00. THIS is why I don't do math. And to all the kids at home: YES! YOU DO NEED MATH!! IT WILL BE HANDY WHEN YOU GROW UP. Don't...

Phew, thank god I'm done with my week of full time bookselling. It really wasn't that bad, but I definitely wouldn't want to go back to doing that all the time. It's just so BORING, moving books around, endlessly cleaning up after people and endlessly alphabetizing bookshelves. Occasionally there is...

N is working a lot this week. Boo. It's dinero so what can I say? I'm still waiting to see Iron Man. Grrr. Also, I learned we cannot have any political discussions anymore. It just turns messy and that's not fun, informative or intelligent discourse. I blame him, of course. Here's My Dance It Off...
FWC was fired from work yesterday. He wasn't very good at his job. Actually, he was horrible at it and he's not a diplomatic people person, a skill that his position required. So, when I heard that he had majorly fucked up last week and was asked not to come into work on Friday, I knew this was...

I hate dry oranges. What the crap. It looked so perfect and felt heavy and juicy. It had a sticker. I bought it in a clean, fancy grocery store in a first-world country. It peeled perfectly. Yet, inside, it was dry, cruel, and evil. There is a message here. In other news: Brian [11:21 AM]: what...
(Background: Boyfriend works with severely emotionally disturbed children.) Boyfriend (via text): Is it unethical to talk about the kids at my job if I don’t mention their names? Me: Technically it’s legal. Boyfriend: But I shouldn’t do it? Me: You can to me/other people, but I wouldn’t...
I was slightly ill yesterday due to a lack of sleep and overall unhealthy living over the weekend. It was rough being at work for a full 9 hours and all I could think of was sleeping for about 15 hours and how I would feel so much better if I did. A few people noticed I was a little down because...

The bank annoyed me yesterday. They "suspended" my credit card, because i missed a payment (R250...) by 3 days. I've been with this SAME bank, SAME branch, for 26 years. And they have the nerve to send me a rude sms and shut my account down????? I was not amused. I sent them a rude sms back - there...
Anyone else remember Marvin the Paranoid Android from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series? If not, here is a typical quote: “My capacity for happiness,’ he added, ‘you could fit into a matchbox without taking out the matches first.” I have been reminded of Marvin by this miserable old...
Already the middle of May. Seriously, 2008. Slow the fuck down. Today one of my friends texted me to say how bored he was at work and how he didn't want to do anything. Man, I felt the same way. I had a "case of the Mondays" this morning, but then work picked up this afternoon and I was busy again....
After 17 hours straight at the Dome (starting at 4:00 yesterday until the wee hours of the morning), two packs of Camel No. 9s, two trips to Starbucks, and one trip to Jack in the Box (only because we don't have 24 hour grocery stores...I wanted a no-carb alternative but the final god was not on my...
So, the interview went for over an hour. The assistant manager asked me all kinds of questions straight off a form. She was silly and goofy, and I hope would be a good person to work with. She and the manager must have been impressed with my interview because as soon as I got walking back I had a...
