Oh my god. It is After Five and I need to go home because I am starving and my head hurts and argh.

But the job is... good. Apparently knowing how to put together bullshit documents for professors is not a useless skill. Yay!

Why is my boss still on a conference call. I can't concentrate anymore. I might explode.

Ah, the time-honored Thanksgiving Galactus/Chick Tract.

I've gotten too good at keeping my thoughts to myself.

My throat is sore from "Name? D.O.B.? Address? Make sure the top is correct and sign the bottom. Take it over to the next table." My nose is a bloody mess from a particularly vicious cold. My back is stiff from sitting in a grade-school hard chair for fifteen hours. I didn't get home from my precinct until 11. And I woke up happy after ( Read more... )
