Work. Blah.
I am currently (supposed to be) working on a large project at work. It's the kind of thing i keep wanting to put off, not because it's hard, but because it's drudgery. I have to email just under 200 companies for their listings in our directory. And that's just step one. Ick.
Also, I'm really annoyed with this guy (who in real life is probably not a bad guy). He's very suspicious of one of our writers, who wants just a little information on his company so that the writer can finish his article. He's asking us to send reprints of articles (which we normally ask that they pay for), and it's been a complicated process with his email not accepting attachment, and hopefully he'll get them through snail mail, and can we give background info on the author, and blah, blah, blah. I can only assume that he's been burned by reporters in the past, hence the paranoia, and maybe he's an older guy who's not quite comfortable with the whole computer thing (my dad's like that). But man, he is definitely making my life more difficult, when I've got other things I'm supposed to be doing.
