What did you do at work today?

[over the mountain]

ive been mia most of this week.

mon - left early for a job interview
tues - drove my lady to hospital in DC to see her dying great grandma
wed- went to hosp in balt to get our 2nd sonogram, its a girl, spent rest of day buying various pink things and registering
today - decided to get in early bc im leaving early again tomorrow for another job interview. admirably spent most of the day doing actual work writing complaints and fielding phonecalls, past 30 mins or so reading and utilizing the warpath . .mooby posted some really funny stuff on super happy fun thread.

currently sitting in my office typing this ready to click over to some word docs if i hear anyone walking down the hall. the "not so good speaking english" secretary is sitting at her desk outside making the occassional "oww" noise like she just deleted something she didnt mean to . . .literally as i was typing that she did a long "ohhhhhhhhh". the longest one of the day. probably deleted everything she has been doing for the past 3 hours.

edit - yall probably think im some kind of ahole. her great grandma isnt dying, she is doing much better and might be released tomorrow.

double edit - now hear my bosses voice, hes on the loose. maria is making more oww sounds

Today was a great day. I hit my end of the year numbers almost two months early.

Haha you're not the only one. I deal with a lot of winos, naturally, and most of them say the same thing. "Boy I wish I had your job so I could sit there and drink all day."

Ah, Newcastle Brown, probably the most skunked beer in the world next to Heineken.

Yesterday: 18 hours of reviewing Experts' reports and preparing depositions of the same.

Today: 10 hours of taking said depositions.

[Money Shot: Getting the opponent's expert to say that "The local judges are biased and just don't understand the issues." ... a comment that may resurface on cross-examination at trial]

Tonight: Suffering from complete brain mush.

Tomorrow: Getting up at 5:30 a.m. to run wife's farmer's market stand.

Someone shoot me.

When I worked at Marriott we always got one. IT is a nice touch that few companies still do.

Though to be fair my current employer throws a per-Thanksgiving party the Thursday (like this week) before thanksgiving.

I had an interview today for an open position as a stock clerk in the parts department at a dealership my friend works for. I'll be starting in a couple weeks after Thanksgiving.
