clock in.
sorry for the lack of posts this past week but i actually started a new job (gasp!) THREE whole days. yep. and even more shocking is that I havent quit yet. ha.ha. i have my own office because im so damn important.
this whole work thing is really a buzzkill when it comes to blogging. but i promise to carve out time during my "busy workday" to update orangeturtleneck with lots of goodies so dont quit on me now bitches. the entertainment value on this new workplace is priceless. I have ideas coming out the wa-zu. The following tidbits are merely the small potatoes compared to what is to come in the weeks ahead.
1. boss is about 27 years old and already over 300 pounds. and yes, she wears horizontal stripes and stretch pants like nobody's business. its awesome.
2. one co-worker dresses like a hooker and one was wearing pigtails. i dont think ill ever be able to hold a straight face while talking to either one of them. not that id ever talk to them, but just in case I suppose I should be prepared to bust out a technique that will prevent me from laughing. like biting my tongue until it bleeds. yum.
3. I was told that in the agency is currently working on dress code issues. you konw, getting employees not to show so much CLEAVAGE. yep. she actually mentioned it twice. with lots of emphasis. guess illl have to save my leather corsett for the nights out on the town.
dont you love it! i mean cmon, you cant make this shit up. so even though i spent a bit of time shoe shopping online (slight zappos.com obsession) and played around with the calculator to see how much my paycheck would be, i havent written up my resignation letter just yet. remarkable considering that in the past twelve months Ive probably had about 10 jobs. yep. seriously. some temp. some perm. some temp to perm. blah.blah.blah. usually the length of stay of a given job stint is dictated by the voices. you konw, the ones that pervade your head ....must get out of here...help... im going crazy..lets blow this joint....a drooling monkey could do my job... etc. and then when it gets painful to even shower before work, I quit. just like that. statistic wise, 4 hours is the shortest but 2 others only 2 days each. ha.ha. so the fact that i have made it through three days at this particular locale is quite an achievement and so far no voices. i guess the entertainment value on this one is reason enough to return on Monday. of course it doesnt hurt that I don't start until 11am.
and yes, someone else told me I looked like sarah jessica parker. maybe it was just because of the bottle of vodka on my desk.
clock out.
