Corporate America

So today I'm chillin' in the office where I am working until Monday and I notice something that catches my eye. This little woman came into the office and changed the flowers that sit on the counter in front of this desk. She walked in, we exchanged pleasantries, and she changed the flowers! Honestly, I thought those bad boys were fake but no, they are real. I watched as she filled up the water pot and walked away. All I have to say is, "wow." I mean, they have a person who stops by to change the flowers! The part that kills me is the first flowers weren't even dead! Sheesh, when I worked at UMass Amherst if there were flowers on my desk it was because my students gave them to me, but it was up to me to water them and throw them out when they died! I didn't have some person come in and do it for me. Sure Barbara used to walk around and water plants but she did that because she wanted to cut down on plant fatalities.

It's pretty interesting here. Mind you, I've been working at institutions of education for the longest time, so I'm used to the relax atmosphere with no office perks. This place is a bit mind boggling to me. As I sit here listening to "Sexy Back" I can't help but to look around. I SO don't belong here. I look down at my clothes and realize that I might have ONE outfit that would make me fit in here, but that's my interview outfit and that will be burned once I get a permanent job. Let's just say I've been stuck in horrible rain storms in that outfit...I've had horrible interviews...interviews with people who already know who they are going to hire but they are calling you in because they have to interview other people for the sake of office politics (politics suck by the way)...yes, that outfit will be BURNED. Anyone care to join me? I'll bring the matches because I'm a recovering pyromaniac, thanks to the first time I lit a match when I was 5, and you can bring something to roast over it. I'm not really into marshmallows (or marshmallow peeps for that matter) but someone could bring those, just hook me up with some chocolate and a graham cracker and it will be all gravy (darn you Dannny). Perhaps it's time to get a new interview outfit, but why? This one is kinda perfect...it's just SO ANNOYING! LOL. Well not the outfit I guess, more the fact that I've had to put it on SO many times! I so want to retire it and then burn it. I'm SO serious.

Okay I think I'm done for today. It's Friday and I'm soooooooo tired. 6 am wake ups suck big hairy cojones. That was so lady like wasn't it? Sheesh....I wonder why no one has snatched me up yet. :-)

Until next time readers(it could be Monday, it could be this afternoon. Who knows?)...

Say it with me...

Love, Peace, and Hair Grease!

P.S. "CIEE how may I direct your call please?" Darn you Corporate America!!!!!!!
