This entry contains a lot of "I" statements

[swmbo]

Man, I am like fifty years behind myself, here! It's crazy, I feel like I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off, except sitting at a desk and with head firmly attached.

My darling violetsmiles is hosting a Love Meme. So if anybody is feeling extra squishy today, they should go and squish people.

Last night I was dropping off some stuff to Proofing and it was already late and I was talking with Proofer M and somebody popped into her room to ask her a question about where something went and she said "take it to blah blah blah and make sure you remember to tell them that it's due today!"

And I looked at the clock, which clearly said 5:15, looked back at her, raised an eyebrow and said "Today?" - and she sighed and shook her head and said "It happens more than you think" and I was smug and "I bet one of the reasons you guys love me is I usually give you things without specific due dates" and she said, sarcastically "I know you do".

I gasped and said "That was a true statement! It did not deserve your sarcastic voice!" and she replied "Oops, no, you're right - it's just that you and my sarcastic voice just go together".

This is why Proofer M is rapidly becoming my favorite of the proofers.

I watched Grey's Anatomy last night and, as usual, I CRIED at one of the patient scenes. I am such a freaking sap.

I am starving and want bacon. Chance of bacon: Slim to none.

I've decided that just getting my hour back is not enough and I'm adding "two extra hours a day" to my list of demands from the world. Or universe, since it might be the sort of demand that is filled more easily from a different world. We'll see.

Also, there is, apparently, a conspiracy to make me use paperclips that are far too large, even though I *hate* using huge paperclips when it's just two pieces of paper being clipped together. I even particularly requested regular sized paperclips a few months ago, when Admin R was ordering supplies and she said she'd order me some and she even *gave* me a small amount from her own, personal stash, to tide me over in the meantime.

And yet, those specially ordered paperclips never appeared and I am back down to nothing but huge, gigantic paperclips of PAIN.

The struggle against LuthorCorp continues. Stay tuned for tomorrow's entry: WILL swmbo get normal sized paperclips? I know you guys are on the edge of your seat - be careful you don't fall off!

But I just really, really want small paperclips for clipping two or three pieces of paper together! Big ones are overkill and they look silly and WHY is this so much to ask?!


And now I go back to making up for the fact that all yesterday afternoon was spent in a MEETING! *hugs you all*

Previous Marquee: Paperclip status still unclear - email requesting small paperclips sent out. LJ-user-on-the-street jammer77: "THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!"

We Have Paperclips! We HAVE Paperclips! Wee, little paperclips that Admin R gave to me! Full story tomorrow!

I can't wait until we can put useful things in email, like small colorful paperclips. I have a plethora of paperclips pining for a purpose. (Blame the alliteration on the rain.)

Love memes. ::sigh:: As if daylight savings wasn't bad enough.

Man! If you could only email me paperclips, all of these woes would be resolved! *cries*

What is it about small office bits that completely derail us if they're not around. I needed a three-hole punch the other day and I couldn't find one. Now I have a manual and a binder sitting here, thinking they could be OTP -- but alas -- no hole punch. It's really quite tragic.

See?! We ask for so little, just the crazy basics in life and this is what we got!

Man, when I rule the world, all the important office supplies will be available whenever we need them! And that includes PACKING TAPE!

Dude and post-its. Not only post-its but post-it *flags*. Mechanical pencils, and pens that DON'T SUCK. {cue patriotic music} In our perfect office world, there will be paperclips and BINDER clips in all appropriate sizes! There will be highlighters in more than one color and white-out for all peace-loving cube dwellers! There will be staplers that can bind more than four pages without getting all bound up. There will be toner in the copiers and there will be letter AND legal paper available for printing! All dry erase markers will be crisp and new and the whiteboards will erase on the FIRST try, thus making the stinky alcohol wipes that get your hands all messy UNNECESSARY!

If I am elected, my fellow cube denizens, I promise you that the coffee will ALWAYS be FRESH and instead that crappy powder in a shaker stuff, there will be REAL HALF AND HALF! In flavors!

::record scratch::

Sorry, got carried away there...
