The Office

Wow, it's good to be back! Hello world, daddy's home! I mean, people was like, "Where are you? Why aren't you on the blog?" And I was like, "Calm down Jada Pinkett-Smith, I'll get to it when I got time, girlfriend. Besides, while you're sweatin' me, where's you're jiggy husband, girl? And what are you doing on Ozzfest? I mean, step off"
Anyway, the past couple weeks have been pretty crazy. I've moved apartments, traveled, turned a year older, and spent some time in the trenches of the 9 to 5 corporate world. And also I've watched "9 to 5" with Dolly Parton, an insane movie, that is worth a watch if you haven't seen it, especially for the 3 dream sequence/fantasy scenes.

I spent two weeks temping at a large construction firm, in their HR department. What this meant was I got to file papers for 8.5 hours a day. While testing my extreme limits of boredom, this job also allowed me insider's access into employee files where I could read productivity reports, goal tracking sheets, termination letters, praises and reprimands, pretty much any info on the employee the company had on each employee.
My favorite bit of info was a letter of resignation written from an employee. It read:

" Dear Sirs: I have enjoyed my years with this company and the training and growth I experienced here. However, I must move on and my resignation is effective 2 weeks from this date. I apologize for any incontinence. "

I suppose if I dealt with any incontinence while with a company I would want to clear it up in my resignation letter as well.

When I moved to New York I had a fantasy about the business world. I always thought it would be cool to have a business job and get dressed up in a suit everyday and go to work in the daily rush. Due to financial reasons recently, I had to go to a temp agency and get the HR job I've been talking about. This was my big chance to live my big city business job dream and join the hustle bustle life. Welllllll, long story short, that fantasy wore off when I was in the temp agency office and I realized I'd actually have to work 9 - 5 and that wouldn't actually be that cool. At least I got this picture which represents my idealized view of what this life would've been like. Trust me it wasn't this cool. Not when I got to the office and the big news was that there was a new coffee machine in the breakroom. And then finding out that the coffee machine did the exact same thing, same kinds of coffee, just a new look, new buttons. Added mystery...that was not so mysterious.

I do have to say that the people I worked with were nice. So if they ever google this and read this, they'll know that it wasn't them that caused me to write about all this. But if they have googled this and read all this way thinking they may find some dirt on themselves, all to realize that I was just bored with a mundane job, well, I apologize for any incontinence.
