I'm afraid the boredom of the last few weeks at work has permeated my brain. I have a few things to do today. Not enough to fill it, but I'm going about it slowly enough to hopefully fill my time. I'm fine tweaking all the little details I'd otherwise ignore (and could easily afford to ignore if I didn't have the time).
Why does it seem to take me 2 hours to prepare dinner? Even when it's a quick dinner. I need to start repeating meals. I think it's a first run thing. If I make the meal again, I'll know where I can overlap. Like chop the vegetables while water comes to a boil. Start cooking the sauce while the pasta cooks. If I could have magical powers with food, that'd be awesome. I could just snap and a perfectly balanced meal would appear. My stomach hurts. I think it's because I was rushed this morning and only had time for a granola bar. Blarg.
Boss and old girl are upstairs in his office smoking and chatting. I'm left out. I'm sure it's not all that interesting. and I'm sure I'd have nothing to add.
A couple of days ago, a couple of tool bags came in. They've been in before. He talks like he knows everything, when in fact he does not. He just chooses the most complex ways of doing simple things. For instance, he makes catalogs one page at a time in Photoshop, instead of InDesign. Bitmapped text much? Anyhow, I made a very good suggestion about one detail of their project and lady was so against it. I suggested they nudge a few things on the inside of a package so there wouldn't be folds in the middle of any text. She said it didn't matter. It wasn't visible on the outside of the packaging. After it's sold, she doesn't care. Sickening. And I hate to admit I was hurt when she didn't think my idea was killer. I'm still confused as to why she didn't want to do it. It'd be super easy. A few guide marks and nudges. Oh well.
I just loaded six boxes of donation cards into the back of an SUV as the driver talked on his cell phone. Rude, rude, rude. Not so much the not helping me part, but the not helping me because he was on his phone part. That pretty much brings me up to present.
