A Typical Day in the Life of a Bored but Well-Paid Globe Employee:

the women that i work with are all like 13 year old girls.

yesterday, the lot of us were giggling, and staring out the window at our boss and her new hippy/outdoorsy boyfriend in the parking lot. today they were highly enthusiastic about a new hole-punch.

when the boss isn't in, we own the office. we yell at each other down the hall instead of paging over the phone. today there are only 3 of us here; two of which have no permanent work load except making or taking phone calls.. we spend a lot of time gabbing.

i relate to tanya, the front desk secretary the most, since she is the youngest.. only 26 or 27- though she has a 12 year old daughter at home.

i occasionally catch myself picking up the bad grammar of the other staff.. who definately have a very maritime edge to them, despite the corporate office presentation.

i take walks outside with the other women when they have smoke breaks, just so i can see the light of day and stretch my legs. i typically spend my hour-long lunch break in the boardroom watching TLC, or the ellen degeneres show if tanya's on lunch too.. [i hate that show].

today at lunch i'm heading into bayers lake in search of nachos and avacado to make guacamole for tonight.
