FINALS

so ironic for me to write about finals on POST college project but i must. 


oh gradschool why can't you be more like undergrad???


in undergrad i had a fabulous study nook in King Library.  it was glorious and i could watch the squirrels and snow and wander aimlessly during study breaks.  Food was allowed and was availble for purchase.  it was heaven.

now i am stuck at the words LOUDEST starbucks because i cannot bring my coffee into the library and cannot leave my things unattended because they WILL get stolen. just like my id - i did not blog about this saga because it was too tragic- which has been found and i can return to the rec!!!




Even with my hotpink earplugs in (can you see them above they are a life saver!!!), i can tell you every problem the people at the table next to me have with their co-worker (she is not present) and what they are going to do to get her fired...  The "boss" just told them their plan will not work because it involves falsifying records and that it is acceptable to take your PTO when your child is sick... SERIOUSLY. oh wait i just found out all these people are managers...

would it be rude for me to ask them to A. lower their voices, B. LEAVE or C. stop being so LAME



In other news it is getting colder here in va, no snow in the forecast, but colder is nice.  Yesterday, a large brown box showed up at my house from room.it.up.  i won't be opening it until Christmas so you too will have to wait to know what is inside.  Today a brown box arrived from Kate Spade, i will not get my hopes up this is for me (last year i did and was disappointed).

update on the managers meeting: the "boss" will not be checking his blackberry over his break, he keeps referring to it as leave.  all others are encouraged to call and message him but he will not be responding.  he followed this up by saying he needs to know if the others make any important decisions they need to speak to him first.  (this sounds like M.SCOTT)  boy do i not envy any of these people. 

hope you all are being more productive than i!

rough week

so after my horrid sunday the week just keep on going full speed ahead. not much to talk about, busy busy.

I missed the first 1/2 of GG and missed the city, but i did get my nike +. Missed the office and 30 rock. cant wait for the morning to catch up!

i did get the Feb edition of Real Simple and InStyle. as alex can attest this was v. stressful for me and did start the upswing of my week.

today MLF sent me flowers at work!! they are so wonderful and everyone was asking me about them. i think they thought i made up MLF until then. (picture to come soon!) this was the highlight of the week and maybe month!!!

only 7 days until i move in to the new apt.
14 until i see my mom and sister! (abby thats for you!)

Promotion

today at work i got a MASSIVE promotion. i got a desk. i know your probably thinking how did i have a "desk job" without a desk. well i had one. it was just adjacent to my boss and award. he could see everything i was doing. so it was just excel a.l.l.d.a.y.l.o.n.g. today when i arrived at said job i went to my desk and everything was gone.

what a pleasant surprise to start my second month of work!!!

in my old life i would have gone out at lunch and purchased myself a little present...

but my other big news is that i'm looking for my very own APT!!!!

i will keep you updated! i'm sure its going to give lots to post about.

Michael Scott

so i have this job. i dont like it all that much but its a job and i get to use excel (its my fav!)

there is one major problem...

my boss is MICHAEL SCOTT


i am the only person in the office who notices. on wednesday, new years eve, we have a office wide meeting to look at 50 of the 300 pictures he recently took on his vacation. (this is instead of leaving early)

today we also had an hour long meeting about the fact that after this week i will be moving desks (right now i sit adjacent to MS). we had to talk about everyone's feelings on this issue ... AWKWARD


i almost forgot, along with the pictures there is going to be trivia about his vacation.


when do i go back to college???
