Beginning of the week/End of the world~ same thing.

Apr 26, 2004 11:52

Ahh, the joys of Monday. I was given ever more strict instructions on just HOW to be a good little office monkey~ including checking the fax machine EVERY 2 MINUTES (I shit you not, people) and doing almost nothing else. HuuuuurrrahhhH!!! I am sooo very excited about my (less than advertised) position. I was supposed to be learning the real estate ( Read more... )

Other than that Mr Lincoln, How was the play?? I'm glad you had fun with Hailey. She loves going to the park so much so it's nice to hear she got to go. As for work, don't sweat the small stuff. If it's paying your bills right now, that is what's important. You need a J-O-B!!! Think of it as getting experience for your resume. The people that are going to see it don't know you were an office monkey so learn some key terms and pick up what you can then get the heck out of dodge. I started as an assistant to the assistant controller and my first function was to fax the same document every week for 3 months. I wasn't given much more than busy work. They figured out I had a brain and began to teach mne things and pretty soo those documents I was faxing became a 10,000,000 funding program that I was in charge of. You have to shovel a lot of crap to get to the good stuff. I know it looks bleak but try and hang in there little buckaroo. Can Abby teach you some of her functions or is she in the same boat as you?? Real estate is ( ... )

oooh, pretty butterfly icon. I like LB better!!! lol! Yeah, I'm hanging, bitching just helps on Mondays!!! :) I know you got better jobs at your company by reading the faxes you sent~ I talked to Michael today~ he was saying that he'll try to send me anything he can~ today I'm updating the fee schedules for title. That's worth learning!!! :)

I'm overqualified for free stuff at Planned Parenthood now, and I even lied on my income. Grr.

Ah well, Planned Parenthood does great things so I can't really complain.

You and accounting? *tries to picture you doing math all the time* Uhm, are you sure about that?

You can always take loans/grants out before going on welfare jeesh, you have a job right? I don't think you'll qualify for FOOD stamps at least I hope not because then I'm moving to a small remote island and not paying taxes.

I can't get grants~ I already tried. I figure if I can get on CalWORKS then I'm set~ but I think this is a pipe dream.
