Office Shinanigans

Person 1: "First animal that comes to your mind. Go!"
Person 2: "Apple"
Person 3: "Snake"
Person 4: "Fox"
Person 5: "Bear"
Person 1: "Fox it is"
Person 5: "BEAR!!!"
Person 1: "Too late! I'm already drawing a fox."
Person 2: "That's not a fox..."
So after my 10 hours of much needed sleep, I got to the office (on time) to hear this conversation going on in the Productions department...and I thought I didn't do anything at work.
Also there, I learned that fax machines are stupid, and that they think I'm just as stupid as they are. The one at the office goes out of it's way to try and prove it's point by failing to send any faxes I have to send out. Fucking fax machine...
While I was doing my amount of nothing, the guys around me were trying to figure out how to make a conference call with the office phones. The got to three people, then...it kind of failed when they added a fourth. Not like someone pressing the wrong button, but just downright refusing to cooperate and dropping the first person dialed. Funny as an apple being an animal.
A quick summary of my usual work day:

  1. 6:00 wake up
  2. 6:20-6:45 think about getting out of bed
  3. 6:50 take shower
  4. 7:20 dress
  5. 7:30 eat whatever I can find and my assortment of vitamins, painkillers, and allergy meds
  6. 7:55 leave
  7. 8:00 catch subway
  8. 8:15 get off subway
  9. 8:30-ish enter office
  10. 8:30-11:00 whatever Steve (not the Internet) tells me to do
  11. 12:00 food
  12. 12:30-17:00 whatever Steve (not the Internet) tells me to do
  13. 17:00 go home
After that it's kind of random. Well not really, it's mostly me eating and watching movies/Gintama on my laptop along with an assortment of YouTubers.
But this is kind of my old schedule from high school...I even used my backpack today to carry my stuff instead of my laptop bag...I felt like I was back in school...fuck. I'm not that homesick.
I don't even know if I'm going to have a job next week. No one has said anything about next month. I might have to pack my things and move back to Virginia. I don't exactly want to go. BAH! I wish I knew what would happen in my life! BAH!

3 Weeks

It's been 3 weeks and I'm homesick. But not for a place. I'm homesick for familiar faces, my friends, and most of all my dog, horse, and cat. Each time I see a mounted police man I miss riding my horse. Every time I pass someone walking a big dog I miss mine. And my cat, well I just miss her, but she doesn't do much so there isn't much that reminds me of her, except maybe the stray cats I see every once in a while.
I'm also really really tired. I got up at 6:00 and worked at the office from 8:00 to 18:00 these past few weeks, and I realized this is almost the same pattern I had while I was in school. Great... Yeah I use the 24-hour clock so that way I don't confuse myself, also I think it sounds cool and makes more sense.
Today of all days, I went to the office 50 blocks from my apartment, only to find the door locked. I contacted the people I worked with and well apparently we had the day off. So I walked back. It was cold. And lonesome. My Zune (yes I have a Zune and still use it) was on it's last bit of battery, flashing red since I left my place, yet it lasted almost 2 hours. Needless to say I was impressed.
I was also impressed, and somewhat creeped out, when I found a page from my physics notes between my bed and the wall. I would have sworn that I threw all of them in the recycling bin. Roommate and I had a discussion about this, and how some of her old friends used to have a bonfire with their old notes. Maybe that's what I should have done. Like how medieval persons burned "witches" at the stake so that they would die and never come back. I should have burned my notes, so that they wouldn't haunt me. Maybe if I roasted marshmallows over the fire and then ate the marshmallows, then I would be able to remember what was written in them. Okay, that's not going to happen, but that would be supermegafoxyawesomehot if it did.
Who knew sorbet was vegan? I guess it's kind of obvious now that I think about it, but still, how much normal* stuff can vegans eat?

*normal=omnivorous diet
