28 January
Lord, work is hell.
Yesterday I said that I had been making rash promises about paying everyone in sight, and then when I got to work I found that I was lying even more than I thought I was, because we were told that we could only pay the rent, utilities, one lab supply place that we must pay weekly, and the couriers! And even cut to the bone like that, it was $615,000, so we were over budget again.
I am never ever ever answering the phone again. Never.
I'm also doing the damn 1099s.
I can't be bothered to find the links from the past, but follow those "one year ago today" links, and in the next few weeks you'll be reading plenty about them!
The Evil Overlord is just living up my ass about them, and The Raccoon's, too. She asked her whether I was doing the 1099s about 43 times yesterday, and The Raccoon swore that if she even heard the numbers 10 and 90 and 9 even once today, she would tear someone's head off. I won't say who's, but she didn't mean mine!
I swear, that Evil Overlord explained to me about seventeen times about the 1099s, and that I needed to get people's social security numbers, and that I had to do it right away, and that if I didn't reach the people, I had to call them again, until I really wanted to ask her "You do realize that I have done this before, don't you? And that I am not actually retarded?"
I dreamt all last night about 1099s. What a waste of dreamtime.
In her latest entry, Dawn talks about the fact that she is a lazy perfectionist, that things need to be just so, but she is too lazy to make them just so.
This is me to a T, and a great phrase to boot! I am both an utter slob and extremely anal retentive, which is not as impossible as it may seem! There is crap all over the floor and I have to hop from clean island of space to clean island of space, but if my invoices aren't alphabetized and filed by invoice number, I want to crawl out of my skin!
So what I am saying, Dawn, is that I know just what you mean!
There is this commercial about a contest that will be during the Superbowl, and the tagline is "You could win a Hummer from Just For Feet!" and I cannot stop laughing every time I hear that sentence.
I wonder if they know that it sounds like the prize is a blowjob from a foot fetishist?
Today's horoscope:
Don't make your job today into a struggle between concentrated focus and carefree versatility. Allocate time and space for both.
One year ago today:
And since I took those pictures on the 5th of July, you can certainly tell that I am like the wind when it comes to filling orders!
