Hmm...so has anyone been reading about the election in Mexico lately? Well, since I do almost nothing most of the day I've been reading most of the Times online and following the story. Can anyone say Florida 2000?? Both candidates are declaring victory while the margin between them is 1% or less; they're recounting individual ballot boxes if something's illegible (hanging chads?); and if one of the guys is unhappy they can take it to an electoral tribunal. Hmmmm....why is this so familiar? Though, I'm sure Florida would have been better if disputed completely in Spanish. Anyway, now you all have a glimpse at what's going on in the world.
I'm kinda anxious about the whole "will i be working here longer" thing. I feel like these 3 days are my test. So of course I screw up with the President on the phone this afternoon. He's ANAL about certain office shit. Like, neither of the reception desks should be empty, so if I had to pee and he was in the office I'd have to get one of the girls to cover me. Luckily he hasn't been around that much, so I can just forward the phones. The other thing is that I can't let the phone ring more than twice at most, which is usually easy cuz I'm right here and it's not that busy. But of course, I'm calling ppl in the office back and forth trying to get an answer for some woman who's on the phone, and one guy is just talking my ear off when the other line rings. I knew it had to be the President, but could not interrupt this guy. I picked up on the 4th or 5th ring and he says "Why is it taking so long for someone to pick up the phone?!" I tell him about the other guy. "Well you can't do that. It's business on the other line." Yes yes, sorry sorry. Fuck Fuck. I can't help this shit sometimes. The other day I got 4 calls at the same time and actually remembered who each of them was and who they wanted to talk to and transferred them in a timely manner. Where was he to see me then? At least his son, the COO and i think the person who decides what to do with me, held an actual conversation with me today. Asked me questions and everything. Usually he just walks in, says hi how are you and nothing else. I thought he was a bit of a dick, but maybe he just needed that week and a half vacation in Spain he took. Must be nice to have money. And I see their bank statements, BELIEVE ME, they have money.
And I have almost none since my paycheck was late and I couldn't deposit it till yesterday. Never overdrafted before. Ouch. That little minus sign hurts. My check better be sitting in the mailbox when i get home.
So Mike is on vaca with his family in St Lucia (Lucky...) and i miss him so much. I'm such a dork. We spent 5 months apart, and now that he's been gone for 6 days I miss him like crazy. I don't know girls... I can't for you to meet him (when we're all sober and not making out with strangers). Ok, what am I supposed to be doing now? Oh. yeah. "work."
