(no subject)
So apparently getting ill at work DOES mean everyone knows who you are the next day. Cause yes even the CEO knew my name today. All I can do is shake my head and laugh. One would think that I would now have some kind of weird rep, you know the one who lost it everywhere. But no, instead everyone spent most of the day teasing me about how obsessively organized I am, something which only the case at work. This might be because I am seriously contemplating taking everything out of the old Rolodex, transcribing it and putting the cards back in alphabetical order. That’s not so crazy is it? I mean I have reorganized the filing system already but it was nothing revolutionary I just put all the clients in alphabetical order. You would think I had discovered fire the way they looked at me. But really what is the point of filing things if you are just going to shove everything in the drawers in some manner decipherable only to you? Ah well I am slowly revolutionizing the world one lowly office at a time.
Found this today while I was reading and it gave me a giggle so I thought I’d pass it along. “It is true that the dowry for a nun - the bride of Christ - was by custom much less than that needed for a bride of a more humdrum human being.” (Antonia Fraser Love and Louis XIV page 72) There are times when I really love the Catholic Church.
In other news Jed asked me to help him write a resume so I am hoping that this means he will have a job soon. Please God! And the timing was good because the dryer broke and when I asked him if he was going to fix it he said that maybe we should just buy a new one. Ha there is no we here. I am not sinking any more money into this house! It is not mine and I shouldn’t have to pay to get a new dryer or stove etc, not if I ever plan on getting the heck out of here and I do.
Oh feeling so much better today.
