It’s Scary Here!
New Place Day One, Mood: Sharpening the Knife
See that picture. That’s my new existance. Not only is my direct manager four feet away, but my E.D. is about eight. My manager actually faces my back all damn day. That is the suckiest thing I could imagine. Talk about micromanagment. I should have brought some sage and florida water in here and gave my space a good once over. My E.D. probably wouldn’t like that, she’d rather an official style cleaning. I may need to bring an exorcist in. To top all of this off, I may have mentioned that I have an aversion to artificial light and I wear my shades constantly. Well, I now sit under the worst ones, flourescents. The artificial buzzing demon as I like to call them. When I was in high school they used to give me headaches and people would think I was weird cause I kept asking why no one else could hear them. I don’t know what happened to my desk pumpkin, luckily I don’t care either so that works out. Downside is I can’t throw it now. Bummer. I am Jack’s raging bile duct (Fight Club). If there is an upside it’s that I have better access to steal office supplies now. That has to count for something.
I utterly HATE it when someone looks over my shoulder while I’m working. If my boss or another superior approaches my desk while I’m working and stands over me, I stop working, turn around, and say, “What’s up? Can I do something for you?” They say what they need to say, and then they leave. I don’t do an ounce of work while they are in my work space! Why? Because I hate that ish!!!!!

Seems like you’re just a trenchcoat away from coming into work one day and going postal.
I already have the long black wool chumpie.

Loved the Fight Club quote.. but here’s another scenario from another movie. I say when all else fails, you pull an Office Space and start dismantling cube walls, dropping ceiling tiles, and sit in the corner and actually do about 15 minutes of real work per week. That’ll show ‘em that a brotha means bizness….-lol

I’m tired of working. Life was much simpler a month ago when I was living on the dole. Me and my damn morals! If your office has those neat heaters that can sit under the desk, I’ll see what I can do about finding you a new mini-pumpkin.

You need to develop an annoying habit so they’ll move you. Or they’ll move themselves. Like a nasty smoker’s cough or gas. That’ll show them.

Dang it>>>> I was hoping you could find something to do with that pumpkin. Oh well…..there’s always Thanksgiving. Maybe you’ll have a horn-a-plenty to throw. That way she’ll get plenty of hits.
