dragonlady7Mondays at work are utterly pointless, a waste of time, and usually entertaining, because I get to wander around giving breaks to all sorts of people who've already had them and don't need me to stop by. All it means is that I get to hear everybody's gossip.
Looking back on my entries from last year it strikes me that there were a lot of coworkers I didn't really like. At this point, there are a couple people I dislike, a couple people I don't really like working with but don't think are bad people really, and then pretty much everyone else who I really do enjoy working with and would probably hang out with outside of work if we ever got organized enough.
So that's a nice situation. What's odd is that not all these people like one another, so I'm often in the position of listening to them complain about each other. And they're all usually right about each other, but what I think is particularly excellent is that for the most part, these people choose not to exercise the annoying characteristics they bitch about in one another on me. Which makes me feel like, perhaps, it is possible that these people like me.
Call me easily-amused, but I rather like that I seem to be well-liked by my co-workers.
Unfortunately the Management does not seem to like me so much. Eh well.
So I'm trying to get Z to help me rewrite the boy and the coat story so it's funny. It has to be funny. What I want to do is post the jacket on eBay with such a funny story that people link to it. (Without a darn good story, it's not really worth selling on eBay.) Unfortunately my account of the story tends to focus on narrative accuracy, which just inspires a mix of pity and bemusement in the reader. Z has much more of a flair for the slightly-fictionalized funny. So we're workshopping that.
In other, entirely unrelated news, I still have not received the Burpee seed order I placed on Jan 2nd and this makes me deeply sad.
And in other other news, so, like, who rules Canada now? Come on, flist, don't make me actually rely on a news site for my information.
