Just don't do it.

Public Service Announcement: Don't work 18 days straight. I'm at Day 14 and all I can think about is installing a bed under my desk did like George Costanza on Seinfeld.

An unbirthday present to me.

For some reason these kittes always make me smile.

The devil is in the details.

So, you guys all know that I'm a part-time temp. And, usually it's REALLY easy work. And, I know, maybe I've been spoiled a little by that. But nothing could prepare me for my last three days in the Legal department.

Actual situation:

Courtney is date stamping a piece of incoming mail. Her boss, Mr. Legal, walks by and notices Courtney's "inadequate" stamping. The stamp Courtney has done is legible, but apparently not up to this department's standards.

Mr. Legal siezes the date stamp and process to stamp not once, not twice, but three times to get the "clarity" of stamp he desires, all the time muttering at the date stamp and its inability to stamp and its red and blue ink (as opposed to black ink).

Other rules:
Copying every single piece of paper that crosses my desk a minimum of 3 times (I shudder to think about how many trees I've been responsible for)
Stapling horizontally NOT diagonally
Having to recopy something because it wasn't "just so" (shameless waste of trees)
Having to print out all e-mails twice


I just wasn't made for this. The one awesome thing is that they get an hour and a half for lunch. Why the extra half hour? Because they don't take breaks duing the day. Ummm...does anyone else take breaks during the day?

To all my various friends in law school -- let this be a warning!! Do NOT end up where you life depends on exactly how things are date stamped.

So, days like these remind me why I don't want to be an assistant and motivate me to send A LOT of travel resumes out.

PS No communication this weekend...phones don't work in Yosemite.

All's I'm Saying

"Champagne for my real friends and real pain for my sham friends."

How great is it that Rae is going to Singapore?!!!

Eric and I are going to Big Bear this weekend. Pictures will be forthcoming...

Star sightings!

Just had a wonderful lunch at the WB Commissary and saw:

a. George Clooney
b. Brad Whitford (and family)
c. Lorelai (from Gilmore Girls)
d. Paul McCrane
e. John Wells
f. Zatch (former JWP PA)

Who did you see at lunch today? :)

Blast from the past

Yeah, I haven't posted in a few days. Give a girl a break -- I worked 12 days straight! Anyway, last night's conversation with two of my former high school classmates sparked some (semi) serious discussion about what everyone from our high school class is up to. So, I ask you gentle reader, for 2 words. The first and last name of the person you would most like to see what happened to. Bonus points for explanations. I'll go first:

Josh Beard (No offense to Hubs, but I haven't seen him in like 4 years and I'm curious to see what the hell he's up to).

PS I can also answer for Nick, but when will the obsession for Ms. Dossey die? :)
