My real job at the paper starts on the 31st and let me just say it's about time, this temp job is getting a little on the dull side. I'm here for 7 to 10 hours a day to do two hours worth of work. I don't know how Crazy Cat Lady has been able to do this for ten plus years without going ...well then she is crazy isn't she.
Wait just a second, I have to initial a piece of paper and put it on a hook. Okay I'm back. Whew. Too much excitement.
There are about 5,000 little children running around the office today. Or rather standing at attention in a ring around the room while the bigwigs explain the magic of newspaper production in terms that would make Gutenberg reconsider his life's work. Poor things, this must be the worst fieldtrip ever. I'd offer them each a Wheat Thin but I'm almost out and that's my lunch. The kids are staring at me.
I am an animatronic character in the EPCOT attraction, "Your Small Town Paper: Insignificant?" sponsored by Rupert Murdoch. I'm the one in the corner putting red and green clips on plastic folders. I'm easy to miss.
Man, I love the Wheat Thins.
Phrases said in an office setting that would get you punched in real life:
"You might want to add that to your knowledge base there."
Add this to your knowledge base, Punk!
