if there were a survey listing complaints about bosses that i could take right this minute, i would need options like, Evidently feels that auto quotes are beneath him, and Thinks three adults and three children sqeezed in a tiny little office isn't too many, and Clips his fingernails while on phone with client. ooonasty. why are you clipping your nails in a business enviroment? why do you even HAVE nailclippers at your job? i mean, i guess i can see if you had a hangnail of doom and you just couldn't live w/out clipping it off, but why are you CLIPPING YOUR NAILS AT YOUR DESK!!!???

--ahem--

well, that feels better now.

then i came into work this morning --shudder-- and was almost smothered by this. the most horrible cardboard cut-out of a person. he looks like he wants to sell me a cheap watch. he looks like he needs a shave. he looks? like a Matrix wannabe. and he's blocking my access to the filing cabinets.



see, what i really want to be doing --well, what i really should be doing of course is sleeping, but if i'm gonna have to be awake, the least they could do is let me write. or go to lunch. or SOMETHING. i've been shredding dead papers for an hour now, there's only so much one girl can handle. although i am kinda brewing around this story idea. i think i've been playing too much fire emblem, coz the great and wonderful Kent and Sain have been running around in my head, begging for a story. i love those two. they're both gorgeous. that game is frickin hard, by the way. i started playing it once before actually. got pretty far and then got stuck. so this time i'm being very careful, if even one of my people dies it's power off and try again later for me. what really keeps me playing that game though is characters. besides Kent and Sain there is of course Hector and Eliwood. and Lyndis. plus, i'm in that game! that's another thing i love about that game. you put in your information and you're actually a character in that game. Sain called me lovely. and the translation's really good. i was watching Lodoss last night, and it struck me what i don't like about that Chronicles of the Heroic Knight series. bad translation. well, bad writing too from what i've read, but there are certain lines in there that are just too close to the literal japanese, too akward in english, that make me think the translator was maybe having a bad day. neil nadelman, if memory serves.

man, this journal is so meandering. it's bloody half past. why isn't my boss at lunch right now? ...coz customers always know the worst time in the world to come in. and our computer system always knows the worst time to crash. i kinda feel bad for these people. if our system worked properly --i'm looking at YOU, IT division-- they'd be outta here by now. ...ok, i'm pretty sure this chap's girlfriend just had time to go to the chinese grocery down the street. lord.

... ... i think that little girl across the street thinks she can push over that building.

--bwahahaha! i think i just accidentally dialed one of those creepy singles lines instead of the billing help line! ...yup, sure did. that is hysterical. one digit off, and i can talk to Exciting Singles in my Area instead of the billing and account management office.

bwahahahaaa.
