First week of classes drain August 30, 2007 ~ 9:30 am

Posted by Julie in : Academic Office Monkey, Daily Grind , trackback

We are on day four of the first week of classes, and I am looking like a zombie. I have not left work once this week without a headache because the phones have been non-stop, there is always a line of students at our door, and Supreme Overlord has chosen this week, this first week of classes when oh, by the way, I also prepared six lists of candidates for graduation to be approved on top of everything else, to make policy changes. Which include more work for me. Woohoo! On top of everything else, this is my first five day week since May, since I took long weekends all summer instead of a regular vacation. I remember now: I hate five day work weeks. I am much more productive on the shorter weeks because my ass is just dragging by the end of the five days.

But last night with the help of a little makeup, I looked young, summery, and very good for dinner and the show with Rick’s Ex. Her boyfriend was not there and it was actually a pretty good, if weird, evening. How civilized and urbane we all are.

I cannot even imagine wanting to do anything civilized with B’s ex. But mostly because she’s a big fat you know what. How was the show?

So convince your boss to let you go to 4 10 hour days. You still get the 3 day weekend, and I bet you’ll be more productive those 2 last hours than in the first 8.

I can’t imagine you needing makeup to make you look young (or attractive for that matter). Glad the evening went well.

A cute, summery zombie - THAT should have put the ex in check!!! ;)
