It’s freezing in the office today, and I’m bored out of my mind. All I’ve done is surf the web for dream jobs and (other) funny shit.
What the hell did bored employees do before the internet?
I’m wearing Patrick’s shirt today, so I can smell him all the time. It’s nice.
I think I’m going to end my freelance contract with this particular employer. It’s been full-time for months, so the pay has been consistent, which is rare and very nice. But I really, really hate the work - reality TV sucks, you know - and the increasingly warm spring weather is calling to me. In weather like this, I’d much rather be poor and free than compensated and trapped in this cubicle.
I hope I can pay my bills, though.
*sigh*
I just want a job that’s fun and creative, with lots of freedom to go shopping and do lunch, or have a picnic in the park.
And look pretty while doing it, of course.
I had the latter part when I was at the TV station: freedom and shopping and lunches (and pretty!). But it wasn’t fun or creative, so I left, looking for fulfillment and a job that “mattered” or made a difference. Now I’ve got none of the above.
Talk about misguided “progress.”
Clearly, I’m still the kid who stole the soccer ball from my own teammate and then ran the wrong way on the field, to the opposing team’s goal.
Go me!

I feel your pain. Today I too was a lazy ass who did nothing but zone out on the web all day. I bounced from blog to blog and when I finished reading all of them, I Googled “Lazy Ass” just to see what I’d get back. Gee I guess its good to be the boss.

Wow, you actually have a job where you can sit around and surf the internet. This is the first time in two weeks that I have managed to get onto the net and all I wanted was some information on Nate and then I ended up here. I think I need to move to the US. Nice relaxing jobs, hot guys, long vacations… sounds nice. Where do I sign up?

Ah, you’re daydreaming again. Now be a responsible adult and think about when you and Patrick move in together….
Hmmm. I want pics of that

I have to do a job description/professional profile of myself for my boss. Where do I fit in ’spends too much time following the antics of Patrick and Nick, IM-ing a potential boyfriend in Brisbane, and googling hot pics that I hope the IT people don’t catch me at?’ I love my job, what can I say?

If you find that job, Nick, hire me as your assistant!!!!

I hear your pain. How does one become a trust fund kid w/out having a rich uncle? I should research. Therein lies the solution, methinks.
Hmm, what did bored employees do before the internet?
I always wondered where did the phrase, ‘chat around the office water-cooler’ came from.
