I got a job!!

Believe me, I know we don't make much. But you know - I like my job. I like my life. I'm okay with cutting back financially in order to enjoy down time.

So if there are smarter people out there working their tails off making tons more money - great! Go try and be one of them and stop your bitching.

Who knew "office assistant" meant running errands all over campus. If i don't lose weight from this job there is certainly something wrong with me. Wow, my shins are sore...

My favorite coffee cutie left my favorite Starbucks...damn it!

01.06.09 5:35a Oh. My. God. It's 8:03. I just walked in. I am still taking off my gloves, my scarf, hat and coat. I have not had a single sip of coffee yet. If you can't leave me freaking alone for another few minutes (at least!), I will snap. I DON'T want to discuss your weekend, or work, this EARLY in the morning.

***What time are you supposed to begin work? 8am or 830am??

I start at 8:00am. It was 8:03 when got all my winter stuff off and looked at the computer, and 8:35 when I was able to type the confession. I just really need a few minutes to "settle" before talking to another person, for sanity.

Salary freeze and no bonus this year. At least, I get to keep my job.

I think people who get their panties all in a wad over typos and spelling errors in other peoples confessions just REALLY need to get laid.

That's probably true most of the time, but in my case, simple spelling errors just really bug me. (And I get laid regularly).

An "erkie" is a specific brand of staple remover. I googled it.

This afternoon, my boss and I were talking about a new job maybe on the horizon for me. When she asked me about my salary, and I told her, she GASPED and said "you are worth every penny" --sad because she had noidea how much she pays me. happy because i feel appreciated.

You are the COO - which you keep reminding us of on a daily basis - you should be able to do an operating (the first O in your title) budget by yourself.
