It's A Celebration, Bitches!

Scene - Monday, around 4pm. Bossman's office. He has just asked me to review with him last items so he may leave early for the day. He's not feeling well.

Me: Did you finish that BEL work?

Bossman: Oh, right, yeah. It's done.

M: Did you get your request in for GSP?

BM: I'll do that tonight.

M: Do you remember me telling you on Friday about that job prospect that looked pretty good and how I might need a recommendation for it?

Bossman stares at me blankly.

M: Well, so I got the job.

Bossman stares at me blankly, long silence.

M: Ok...so I'm going to take it...

Bossman stares at me blankly, another long silence.

M: Right then...well I guess this is me quitting. Do you want something in writing?

BM: (Looking clearly flustered) Um, yes. No. No. Yes. I don't know. Ask Barbie, she's the HR manager.

M: Alrighty then. So you feel better and have a nice evening!

- end scene -

And they say dreams don't come true...

Ok, maybe only I say that. But I'm going to have to start taking it back - 'cause this is a dreams coming true kinda week! I finally got to quit heinously horrible lifefuck of a nightmare job!

And it was beautiful, just beautiful my friends!

The best part was, the ONLY Windows consultant in the office quit the next day. Like, you can't plan shit that good.

So I'm now the ad trafficking coordinator for an educational non-profit and the emanncipation proclamation was even better than I could have ever dreamed it to be.

But contrary to popular belief the best part isn't quitting - it's not giving a shit for the next three weeks about anything, aside from fucking over Rene.

No, I take that back...the best part is new work planned out my quitting so I could have a week long vacation. That's right, bitches! I'm almost 24, I've been out of school for almost two years and I get a motherfucking spring break!

Mwa ha ha ha ha!

I've dreamed about quitting for a good 15 months now. And it really is better than I ever thought! Here's to the first day of the rest of my life!

Oh, and here's a link to my countdown clock:

I'M FREE!!!

Finally! Another Entry!

When I started writing a blog, the whole purpose of it was to take up time at work. Work sucked (still does) and I had a lot of free time back then, so it seemed like a good idea at the time. Funny thing as time went on, I really started to enjoy this blogging business. Although I'm clear on the fact that makes me a total loser.

I have no free time at work anymore. Except for strangely right now, because it's Saint Patty's day and all my coworkers are at a bar down the street drinking green beer with the rest of San Francisco, so no one is calling in on support calls. Don't feel bad at me for not being at the bar - even if I didn't have a killer hangover today I'd be avoiding that shit like the plague.

Anyway, so I have no free time anymore and therefore haven't updated the blog since the horrible Googling of '06.

Side Note: To Google, verb, (1) meaning "to perform a Web search, that returns a greatly defined list of results...pertaining to your search topic, tremendously beating the competition, such as MSN, Yahoo, AskJeeves, Lycos, ect.", usually with the Google search engine. "Mary googled for Wikipedia references." (2) To string someone along forever with job interviews, tell them they are a top candidate, tell them they will be hired for either a position or a better position, advise them to quit their job and then at the last minute tell them you changed your mind and they will not be getting an offer after all. "That hospital in Orlando googled my sister when they told her 'we'll see you in July!' and then didn't give her a residency offer. Those fuckers."

But I started to really miss the little blogosphere. And I've been touched that a couple of you out there (literally two: Francesca and Jesse) keep checking in on the Western Edition and asking why I haven't been updating it. So, it seems that if I want to keep this little endeavor running, I'm going to have to become an even bigger loser and blog on my free time.

The good news about not writing forever is that I have a ton of stories stacked up! Look forward to exciting tales about:

- How I've started driving my office crazy (this one will only be published after I am able to leave my current position. Unfortunately, coworkers know my blog address.)
- When TJ turned into a kite during a wind storm (ok - this one is lame but cute.)
- That whole shrooming thing
- General life updates
- My new co-worker Barbie
- I'm sure lots of other things, I'll just have to think of them

Stay tuned for another day.
