Invent a kid project update
While I cannot afford to miss an entire day of work today, I do plan on leaving early utilizing the sick kid excuse. My dad is supposed to call me later today, but I will take the call in the hall and come back saying that it was the school and my son is vomiting, […]
A good way to waste time
My co-workers at my new job are in awe of my ability to down several bottles of water each day. “I just don’t know how you do it,” says Madeline to me. “I can’t drink water - I HATE the taste of it,” says Serrita before she is interrupted by Madeline. “Did you always […]

A vision of loveliness
There is nothing quite as beautiful to a slacker like myself than starting a new job and seeing your boss sitting on various co-workers desks throughout the day just chatting. Nothing work related, just mindless chatter.

Another crappy temp job
If there is only one thing in the whole entire world that I know with certainty, it is this - work blows.
