1. Typing Obits- It's surreal when you open up the packet from Walker Funeral Services and a picture of someone you know is looking up at you. It didn't feel real, just another ad that passed through my hands. It makes me feel removed from a life outside these walls, a town we don't know because we're too busy writing about it. Life and death only happen so we can pay our bills.
2. Work Stations- I have graduated in life to cubicle status...or a third of a cubicle really. I employ the use of a schmancy G5 and have a phone with 8 lines and speaker capabilities AND I actually use both of these features (I've only used up to three lines at a time, any more than that and my brain would explode). On my third day here, someone asked when I was going to start the process of cubicle (cornericle?) decoration. I told her I had brought my coffee mug and that was most likely the extent of it. She seemed...non-plussed. The lady next to me, P, has decorated her space in a cat theme and has already put up garland and tinsel for christmas. I figure she's done enough for the both of us especially since her gigantic mutant house plants invade my minimalistic third-a-cubicle utopia.
3.Coworkers- My supervisor takes pleasure in telling people that they're on crack. All. the. time. i.e. "Kara DeAnn! You're on crack!" or "Chris must really be smokin a lot of crack today if he thinks we're going to do that!" She's saying it! She's saying it right now! Oh, I wish you could be here.
4. Advertising Crack Heads- 90% of the time, the declaration "*blank* is on crack!" is aimed at the advertizing crew. H likes to make them cry when she shoots down their pathetic requests. Then they stomp away in fits of silent rage only to come back in an hour and sheepishly apologize while staring at their shoes. It's fun to watch. We're mean to them because they need us like water (most of them are actually pretty cool but all are still subjected to accusations of heavy drug use. The company really needs to step up on their violating but oh so neccessary random drug screenings).
