Work Humor

Things you’d like to say at work but can’t. Except that I probably could because I’ve got an awesome job and no one really cares! Well, that’s not quite true, but close enough.

Seriously though, I can’t think of many jobs like mine. I get paid to sit at a desk and pay attention to people walking by, say hi, and basically do whatever I want (with a few limits). I can’t make a lot of noise. I can’t leave the desk unless the desk is on fire or I’m being threatened. I can’t play an instrument (damn!). I can’t host parties at the desk, although occasionally it happens anyway. One of the best things is having time to do homework (usually), and all I have to do is work on it at the desk and I get paid for it. I can’t complain. Although some of my raises were absorbed when they raised the minimum wage…

Speaking of work, my job responsibilities just got expanded. Most of you reading probably already know that I deliver mail as well as working desk shifts. It’s pretty fun because I get to know lots of names and where everyone lives. The only thing that kinda sucks is that I don’t always have a face to put with a name. Anyway, I like delivering mail, although forwarding all the shiat for people who don’t live here anymore can suck my balls, Mr. Garrison. Anyway, I am now the Strong Complex Mail Manager. Yeah, I know, it’s impressive. Considering I’ve basically been managing the mailroom since day one. The one thing I’m curious about is whether this new title comes with a pay raise…

I’m supposed to be having a discussion with my boss in about 30 minutes to talk about my new responsibilities. Or something. It should be exciting. I’ll be at work already. Or still.

Teh Jimini will mourn this day.

And I thought I was starting to feel old. I take it all back.

The rest of my day will probably be kinda busy. I’m hoping to go get a haircut when I get off work, then head out to the career fair for some schmoozing (how the hell do you spell that anyway?) with employers. After that I’ll be delivering more mail, but this time with a title! My early evening should be pretty open, and then later tonight there’s an ARH Gen Body meeting. I doubt there’s all that much on the agenda, so it shouldn’t be too bad.

Alright, need to call my parents to see about plans for Fall Break. I’m out.

It’s just a catchy tune. So catchy.
