The Pink Shoe Diaries

i enternatined hopes of not having to come to work today, either because of the snow or my demonic cold, but the former didn't pan out (6 measly inches!) and the latter is getting redundant (having called in sick twice in my 3 month existance here). so here i am at my desk, in a shroud of discarded tissues and coughing my brains out in the hopes that someone will take pity on me and send me home. So far no luck. this is not the most sympathetic bunch. I blew my nose during the 10AM staff meeting and the VP glared at me like i had stood up and given him the finger. Then he sent the rest of the meeting trying to stump me. "Sarah, what was the last name of the woman I spoke to yesterday from the Board? Can you recite her phone number out loud for everyone please?" luckily it just so happens that i had her filofax card on my desk so i could do this with with a minimal effort, and thus effect a sort of inadvertant but sorely deserved "in your face". even when i am sick, i am on point. so STEP.

oh yeah, the rental agent thing. i decided not to take that job. although i love the money involved, i am just graduated from school 3 months ago and am not looking to commit myself to a 6 day a week commission only job with no benefits whatsoever. you feel me? i am content to sit upstairs and maintain the flowers on my desk. call it laziness, call it lack of ambition...i call it excercising my right to sit at a desk all day and play online. ;-)
