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!

SWM!!! I can't read LJ at work anymore!! How am I going to keep up? How am I going to comment?? IT'S A TRAGEDY!!

*cries and cries on your shoulder*

And I have normal sized paperclips, but not only are they normal sized, they are in COLOUR! *wins at paperclips*

[fitofpique.livejournal.com]

Can I also please have two hours back, swm? I need them!

*zombified*

I squish and loff you here, since I'm too lazy to do it anonymously somewhere else.

*squishes, loves, hugs, etc.*

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

If it helps, I cried too. Probably most of the planet watching it did as well.

THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!

*eyes heart-shaped tin of giant paperclips*

You know, i once had a huge lucite...thingy full of normal-sized colored paperclips and they are *all* gone. With the wind or something - i don't even vacuum them up unexpectedly!

Maybe it's some sort of paperclip *troll*. That eats them.

*wanders off for Cheerios*

1) Already been spotted at the lurve meme. Not that I don't have more love to spare, but, y'know. The important people what were in the front of my brain already got some love. They could get more. Perhaps.

2) I have yet to watch any of Grey's. I've been buying up cancelled shows on DVD and living in their worlds. Found Firefly for twenny bucks. And I was well-pleased. And Dead Like Me. And Quantum Leap, which is the best thing since donuts.

3) Oooh, bacon.

4) Paperclips. They're like an endangered species at my job. Need 'em to clip together the daily reciepts for input into the computer at end of day, and this retail shit is sucking my SOUL, Swm. Waugh.

My office supply related woe is ball-point pens today. I used to have thousands and thousands, because you can get them for free everywhere, but I am down to my VERY LAST ONE and I can feel it slowly dying on me. WHATEVER WILL I DO? I'll have to go steal pens from the bank or something.

Awww, I have to actually use the large paperclips, otherwise everything in my payroll folder tries to mate and gets stuck together. The last thing I need is some mutant new hire paperwork insurance enrollment offspring cluttering up my files.

I will give you an hour of my time each day if you like, but you just have to make tomorrow April 20th :)

My bf gave me the season 1 Grey's Anatomy dvd. He's not seen the show yet, so we're going to watch season 1. Then I'll have to buy season 2, because I've only seen about half the shows this year due to my WoW schedule =\

OMG CLEARLY THE ANSWER IS A SWINGLINE STAPLER.

Also: bacon sounds really good now. But I am going to have sushi. And that's pretty much all I have to report.

Paperclips are so important! It's not just the size; some of them snag and some of them glide like butter.

[cavalaxis]

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.

Your scrolly CNN update is making me laugh.

Also, I like Proofer M! She almost makes up for how much I miss Coworker K.

[usedtobeljs]

I offer squishes from the Small Blonde Dog, in lieu of paperclips (for I have none, sadly).

[hugs]

[moireach.livejournal.com]

I will trade you the THOUSANDS of tiny paperclips I have for some nice big ones that actually hold all my papers clipped to the folder front. Mmmmm.

Chance of bacon: Slim to none.

I have had almost identical paperclip issues as you!! I didn't have small paperclips at my work for at least a month despite ordering them. It was very tragic because the big ones look so silly on a couple of sheets of paper. I will be looking for further updates on your situation!!

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'm relieved to read this because I also cried. I like knowing I'm not the only sap! :)

I hope your day is marvelous!!

Dude how did you make the marquee!?!?! So cool! *high fives*

Did you cry when RoseanneJackie told her daughter she was dying? I cried then. It was said. And...well you may read my Sunday night review at my journal because I don't want to clutter your comments with my dictionary-length thoughts on it.
