AUTHOR: tbooty DATE: 4/21/2004 06:28:00 PM ----- BODY: the worst thing about my job? i actually like what i do. when i have work to do, that is. i process loans. it's not rocket science, but it takes a certain type of person to be able to do it well. alright, i'll say it. you gotta be anal retentive and a borderline perfectionist. this suits me just fine. i AM a virgo! however, due to the cycles of the business, i have had less to do than normal. this means i sit at my desk most days and my brain turns to mush. yeah! NOT!! finally this week i have work to do. mind you i don't mind not having work to do if it's a day here or a few hours there. that would be fine, because we all need to have a mental break every now and then. (not breakdown, just break) i have had nadda damn thing to do for like 3 weeks. and you know what the bitch of it is? you can only surf the web for so long before you look up everything you wanted to. now. my boss has been totally cool about all of this. he's given me projects to do for him, etc to keep me at least somewhat busy. great! right? wrong. these projects usually take me all of 2 hours or so. that means i've still been sitting around for 6 hours with nothing to do. and getting paid for it. (that part is cool, but i can't help but feel bad about surfing the net and getting paid for it, and i told my boss so.) anyways, i finally have work to do, but there is this person in the office that is driving me batty! it's days like that where i wish i didn't have to work or at least could work from home so i didn't have to deal with the office politics. days where i wish i could just win the lottery so i didn't have to worry about if we're going to get busy enough that i don't have to worry about my job. (now, my boss loves me and fought to keep my job when a bean counter wanted to lay me off until it got busy, so i'm NOT really worried about losing my job. but still.) winning the lottery. that would be nice. i guess i should buy a ticket sometime, huh?? here are the answers to yesterday's quotes. **i am tickled that i stumped lee again!!** 1. revenge of the nerds 2. robin hood: men in tights 3. rocky horror picture show (one of my all time favorites!) 4. sixteen candles 5. singin' in the rain here are a few more for you......... 1. i want my 2 dollars! 2. Lionel? That sounds like a train, I'm gonna do a "non-stop" on you choo- choo. 3. Attention, passengers, we are now leaving Nun Central on our journey to Hell and beyond. 4. You have the whitest white-part-of-the-eyes I've ever seen. Do you floss? 5. When you do it, you're thinking about guys. good luck! --------
