Internal Dialouge - Part Duex

(Continuation form here)

12:10 - Oh, new stuff at Zoot.  Read, read, read, read, read.  Comment.  Oh, Cagey commented.  Let me click on her.  Damn, I need to be working.  Read, read, read, read, read.  Comment.

12:45.  Shit, where did the time go?  Hollow Squirrel, Hola, Isabel, Life and Times of a Working Mom, Site meter.  Obsessive checking of stats is a time waster.  Must quit looking at cities and states. 

12:46 - Email!  Let me see if E! Online has some new scoop on Grey's Anatomy.  Nope.  Get back to work, dammit. 

1:00 - Work.  Working hard.  Get up and go make copies.  Tell secretary about how I hit myself in the face/lip this morning with the Douney & Burke fob on my purse.  And how it still hurts.  Also reminisce about the time I got up to go to lunch and my ankle gave way and I fell flat on my face in my office.  I didn't even trip on anything.  I just fell.  Laugh.  Laugh some more.  Copies. 

1:13 - Back at desk.  Arrange copies, make dead file, set up new year section.  Look through copies.  Maybe Gmail just forgot to tell me that I had mail.  Should probably go check.

1:15 - No E-mail.  I wonder if Dooce has posted for the day?  What about Amalah?  Maybe just a quick check for Mimi Smartypants, she's been AWOL for a week or so. 

1:24 - WOOOOOOORRRRRKKKKKKK!!!!!

1:26 - Maybe Gmail forgot to send me ...  No.  Work.  You are going to be sorry for this come October 13th when you are at the office at 2 am.  Amalah's not going to be here to help you then.  Maybe I can get Silly Hily to do some tax returns?  Wouldn't that be fun?  How could we all get together one day?  Maybe start looking at locations of all people like AmyW and JoyLynn, and Susan in VA.  What about Samantha Jo?  I think she would be hysterical in person too... Who else?  Man that would be fun. 

1:30 - Working now.  Punching holes in copied papers.  Putting in file. 

1:32 - Hi boss!  I am working here!  Nothing to see!  Sure, I can add that to my list.  I don't mind at all.  (When the hell am I going to get this done?  God, I have got to stay off the internet.)

1:37 - Hi next door neighbor.  How's your mother in law?  Your broken arm-ed kid, your Ultimate Fighting Championship class last night?  Good!  It sounds like fun.   Do they let girls join the class?  I could kick some ass I bet.  Cheerleading for little girl sounds fun too.  It cost you how much??  So you finally finished the rest of Lost from last season?  The new ones start in a few weeks.  I'm glad you can watch them live this year. 

1:42 - The ice machine is leaking?  And your monitor is now fried?  How convenient.  I guess you get a new flat screen one don't you?  Damn, and I have to keep this humongous one. 

1:49 - Hi boss!  Still working hard in here as you walk by to get coffee.  Can't you tell from the serious look on my face how involved I am with Real! Work! on! the! Computer! 

1:50 - Baby pictures.  I can't wait to get home and see that kid.  And Grey's Anatomy!  Yea!!!  Pizza!  I even have artichoke hearts.  Yum. 

2:00-2:58 - Hard working.  Tax returning.

2:59 - Time to go and check out the candy drawer. 

3:00 - Only baby Resse cups.  I think four is the serving size.  I really wish we would go back to the good candy.  Also, I know they put out holiday stuff earlier and earlier, but I'm pretty sure the easter candy isn't out yet.  Year old chocolate?  Hell yeah.  Also gross. 

3:01 - Break time.  Who else may have posted today?  Surf, Surf, Surf, Surf.

3:19 - Working again.  Who the hell gives away $13,000 worth of goodwill donations in a year?  I think you've overvalued your stuff.  Just a leeeetle. 

3:34 - Hi, client!  Sure, I'll be happy to met with you about something that you didn't listen to us about the first time and now you owe a bunch of money that you don't have.  I would love to EXPLAIN IT TO YOU AGAIN. 

3:58 - Only an hour or so left.  Maybe I can get this finished before the end of the day? 

4:27 - E-mail break!  Also check Vox.  Maybe something juicy on there too.  I still need to give away some invites.  Maybe I can get someone else to give mine away.  Oh, cute little fox looking like it is pooping flames.  I wish I knew how to design stuff.  I need a new design myself.  Maybe I can download the free trial of Photoshop and do it myself?

4:32 - I guess I need to stay an extra 30 minutes so that the gym won't be so busy.  I'll work!

4:45 - 5:02 - Bye other office people!  Have a good evening!  Don't forget to watch some good TV tonight!

5:02:30 - I wish I was leaving now.  Am being responsible and making up for time missed by being late.

5:03 - Work. Work some more.  Add some numbers really fast. 

5:35 - Look at the time, will you?!  I'm off.  Shut down computer.  Man, I wish I had a flat screen monitor.  Maybe I can somehow arrange an "accident."  Is there a monitor mafia?  Am off deep end.  Go.  Get your ass to the gym.  Then Baby!  And pizza!  And TV!  Oh, and husband. 

5:48 - Arrive at gym.  Why in the hell isn't there more close parking?  Kelly, you retard, it's the gym. You go there to workout.  Park far away. 

5:54 - Clothes changing.  Putting on shoes.  Lady in bathing suit, do you know that when you change clothes at your locker your butt is reflected in the mirror and everyone can see it? 

6:00 - Good treadmill is open!  Reading US Weekly.  Hide time with towel to combat obsessive time checking.  (What, Me obsessive?  Never.) Watch lady who always brings Cat Fancy as her magazine and does the sitting bike veeeerry slow. 

6:30 6:27 6:22 - Get off treadmill.  I did eat a good lunch today.  Shut up.  Wipe off treadmill.

The end.

If you must know.  I came home, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, set up TIVO, gave instructions for bath-time, assembled supper, cleaned up the kitchen, transfered child to bed from daddy's arms and sat down 15 minutes before Grey's Anatomy started.  Pizza ready at 8:15.  Ate too much of it and then did some stuff on the 'puter until bedtime at 12:15. 

And I had pretty much the same day today.  But with cheap Mexican for lunch.  And we all came back to the office smelling like beans.  And I left at 4 and picked up my baby and we came home a took a  nap.  He is still asleep.  I got up at 7.  Will be up all night.  Write something so I can read it.

Have a good weekend!

YOU ARE A RIOT! I loved reading this. It reminded me of my working days. It took me two years to quit feeling like I needed to account for every.single.minute.of.my.day on a timesheet. I HATED that! I need to post a timeline of my day....although, it wouldn't be near as witty and interesting as yours :)

[starrynite]

Tee hee. Glad you finished. I was waiting to see what happened next.

Thanks for your comment on my blog too. much appreciated :)
xXx

[Stacey]

Ha! Thanks for posting "the rest". You didn't know we all found you so fascinating, did ya?

[HollowSquirrel]

This part of your day scares me: "make dead file." I don't know what that MEANS. I'm sure it's techy talk for the CPA type, but it sounds sketchy. Did you go all Ultimate Fighting on a poor file and win? Do you keep track of your corpses in this file? What's the dealio?

[JoyLynn]

My last email to you bounced...that wasn't very nice.

Now, can we discuss the asking price for that rocket? :)

[samantha Jo Campen]

Yes! Meet me in person! I am quite witty and charming! I am also a huge dork who can't control my mouth and end up saying hugely inappropriate things at inappropriate times. Really, the fun never ends.

Um, we have friends that moved to Chatanooga. That's kinda close to you huh? Well, closer to you than where I am in Chicago, at least. But don't be friends with them. I will become insane with jealousy and take it out in your Comments section. I'm just sayin'.

I am OCD so therefore I loved your daily schedule. Makes me feel like less of a slacker. I'll bust out these two posts when my boss passive-aggressively mentions my internet useage at the office. My halo just got a lot brighter! Thanks!

[tanyetta]

i looooooved this post! :)

[tanyetta]

question: do you have to pay for the part of sitemeter that tells you who exactly views your blog? just wondering. i would LOVE to know who is checking it out. or maybe not? is it a time waster????

[CPA Mom]

Sounds EXACTLY like my day, including all the blog checking and pretending to work when boss man comes in. Unfortuntely, they found a TON of spyware on my computer during the clean up from the "crash" this week so I may have to detox and stop looking at anything at work. I KNOW! It's INSANE!

By the way - WTF? Why in your list of people you want to meet up with (1:26), i wasn't in it? I'm crying myself to sleep now.

[Amy W]

Omigosh, I about fell off my chair at work when I saw you had my link in your blog, yes, yes, how cool would it be to meet up with everyone for some wine and that yummy sounding pizza you made last Thursday night.

Anyways, thanks for completing your day. Loved it.

[starrynite]

Thanks for the blogroll link :)

Hope you've had a good day. xx

[Silly Hily]

If you don't mind "bit fat liar" or "fuck you uncle sam" ending up on some of your tax stuff, then SURE, I'll help you.
That was so fun to read and reminded me so much of my day.
Work, work, work, work. Must work. Wait, so and so might have posted. Must go check. Etc. etc. etc.

[Nikki]

LMAO!!!

This sounds just like my day!

"Yes Mr Bossguy! I'm busy busy busy!" (surfing surfing surfing the internet) LOL

[Mrs. Flinger]

OH MY GOD, that is hilarious.

And way too much like my day. (I love the 1:24 WORK WORK WORk. 1:26 I wonder if Gmail.....)

BUHAHAHAHA. Two minutes is my attention span, too. Oh, crap, my kid is still awake and what was I doing?

[Lizzie P]

Man.....a bunch of that stuff *I* could've written...."work...check Amalah....work....check Hily....work...check gmail."
You funny!! Funny Funny lady!
