2001-10-24 - 12:26 p.m. so, i finally got my money from chip yesterday. i knew i would get it eventually, but i was still shocked to actually have it in hand. he came over and started talking and talking and talking and the more he talked, the sleepier i got, until i just past out on the couch with him still talking to me. cheryl had already left for anime night do she couldn't help me out with him. oh well, i got some sleep, however uncomfortable it was on that damn couch. i get to work this morning only to find out that there was a hardware problem last night and the system is down. how long, i ask. oh, probably until about 1:00p.m. what? i even got to work on time this morning! like kamilah, i think the system is against me, but in my case, it's a different system. every single time i am almost caught up, something happens, it never fails. as my dad says, i can't win for losing. so my boss decides that i need something to do. does he give me busy work like most normal bosses do? no. does he makes me do some of his work or another person's work like a normal boss does? no. he decides that he is going to use me as a guinea pig. he hands me this book with all these different disks #'s in and explainations of each. they are like motivational/self help seminar things on each disk. i have to pick a few, go to human resources, ask for the disk and listen to it. i was like, are you serious? he was more than serious, he was actually excited about this. i was like, damn! this is the kind of crap you see on those late night infomercials or on the old 700 club. this is not my style, but i gotta do it. i picked out two concerning setting goals and one entitled 'dealing with difficult people.' oh we can't forget the seminar on 'high achievement.' my boss tells me that taking these will look really good on my year end review, which is when we get our yearly raises. i will take the stupid little seminar, but i will not like it. i was looking for one that talked about synergy, but the closest one i saw was the 'high achievement' one. my v.p., jody foster, should love that one. well, i didn't get to go to cvs last night because i fell asleep, but tonight there is no excuse. let's hope i have a negative response to it all! |
