tapped out

that's what i feel like.

i tried, i really did. but Miss Thang was on the front desk while i was attempting to tackle the pile of ca-ca on my desk. counterspace. (whatever.)

i don't know what's happened to her. it's like, she knew more before she started working here, and has become progressively worse at her job. and she's on a hair trigger; today she was screaming at Buddy for a snafu the other night, one that could have been avoided had she done the basic, rudimentary tasks associated *with* her job (instead of talking on the phone or watching reruns of "I Love New York.")

i had to step in -- her voice was rising in volume with every word, and Buddy, although he's gansta, is no match for a Black Woman With Attitude.

that takes a redhead.

i reminded her (gently; Miss Thang requires Kid Gloves, i've learned) of the protocol in a situation such as the one encountered, and she backed off. the fuse diffused, and Buddy was grateful. heh.

****

a very simple thing this morning turned into a thirty minute lesson on something that she's done before and should know like the back of her hand after two years.

*sigh*

i can believe this place sucks your brain cells, but i don't think that's it. i don't know what it is. and i can't fix it if i don't know.

****

i spent quite a bit of time cleaning out my hard drive and moving a bunch of stuff to a flash drive. i'm a pack rat in every way...i found things i'd forgotten i had and i'm going to make a habit of going through this stuff on a regular basis.

the hard drive took a deep, gulping breath and is moving a lot better.

time well-spent, i suppose, but i need to get to work.

****

although an early bedtime sounds a lot better.

the Weird Chick called me at midnight last night to ask me what she should do -- the videotape in the VCR broke.

uh.

get another one?

oh, okay.

jeezuz wept.

****

hopefully, i can into some kind of routine here at some point. i have to harness up.

is that even possible?
