Happy Monday!

i just realized this friday is the 13th again.  how unlucky is that?!

so today started out as the usual shitty-monday: late to work, tired (especially from the time change), cold...

...add me spilling my coffee down the front of me in the car and getting here in work clothes so tight i can't breathe, only to find out it's a "daylight savings casual day!" - i can bet there will be an episode of the office soon with this subject.  it's becoming a phenomenon!  (not the daylight savings thing, but any reason to have a casual day in a business attire environment).

when BOSS isn't in the same office as me, he calls me every god damn 20 minutes to ask me what i'm doing, what am i working on, what did i do since the last time we spoke  -  oh!  you mean 20 f*ckin minutes ago when you asked me the same god damn question???  "not much." 

i hate that i have nothing to say when he asks that.  but the reality is, he'll ask, and i'll start telling him literally what i've been doing "writing an email campaign and putting together a list to send out to new leads" only to get cut off "stop, i want to hear about something good that can bring in money" - riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.  marketing is just filler work.  i totally forgot.

i am going on vacation next week (so you won't see anything after this week until the 25th of march) and i have a list of things that are really about nothing that needs to be done before i go.  it is this B.S. that wastes so much of my time to where i can never get anything done.  we have meetings about our meetings.  i make lists about lists.  i have to update him on the calls that he knows i have to make, the lists i need to list, and find time to have a meeting about a meeting about nothing!

anyone remember seinfeld?  well, i've downloaded the theme song to the show and whenever i am called into a meeting i play it in my office while i am away.  some of the comments by passerby's have been awesome.  at least i am not alone.

cheers.
