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 LOVE BLTs sooo much. But when the tomato is very, very ripe, yum.

*steals paperclips and makes art from them*

when my pal Phil got married - we made a paperclip web all over his desk while he was on his honeymoon. It took oodles of us all week to make it and it took him FOREVER to get it undone.
Those were good times.

Man, ok, that's the BEST IDEA EVER!! I am putting it in my list of things to do one day!

If you get lots of people involved it doesn't take long. But make sure that you attach it to EVERYTHING they have at their desk. That way they can't just pull things off easily.
*is mean sometimes*

EXCELLENT. Cruel and therefore just right for me.
