A Bug's Life

You've seen the Pixar film A Bug's Life right? The very first scene -- where the ant manger is coaching the ants to walk around the leaf -- that's my work life.

So it basically goes down like this: OMG at leaf? What do we do? There's this small obsticle in our path!!! I have no idea what to do!! There's a leaf in my way. The line is getting even further ahead of me!! What do I do? There's a leaf in my path!!!! The manger comes along "Look in my eyes, follow my eyes -- we are going around the leaf!" Working ant: Around the leaf? We can do that?

That's my job... in a nutshell. I lead people around the leaf.

QED: I'm a bug.

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people.

Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
