Back to work... 9/19/05


Today is my first day back at the office. I spent the last two months in another office. And now I'm home.

I have noticed that the pace here isn't as crazy as it was in the district office. Probably because we were face to face with our clients every day. So far, I have answered email, read throught a couple of reports, had lunch.... maybe I'll clean my desk next. Weird, after being soooo busy, I don't know what to do now.... maybe I'll go to WalMart....

My boss, S*, and I met this morning to discuss what I should be doing next. She brought up the possibility of me being transferred to another division. I, of course, thought that would be a terrible mistake. Hopefully I can continue to report to S*... she is cool. She gave me a Starbucks gift card before I headed out to the district office two months ago.... I likey coffee. And, she has a great sense of humor. AND, the county owes me 125 hours of comp time.... S* told me that I could just take the time off as I needed it... Hmmm... what can one do with 125 hours of comp time? That is like over a month of vacation. Seems like an awful lot. I'd better re-add this.

Today's joke:
CNN reported a problem at the Tickle Me Elmo factory. Apparantly, the production lines had backed up and chaos had ensued. The foreman walked the lines to see if he could identify the problem. And he was finally successful. At the far end of the plant, a new employee sat with a large amount of the Tickle Me Elmo fabric on one side of her, and a box of marbles on the other side. The foreman watched her carefully cut a small swatch of the fabric, wrap it around two marbles, and sew it between Elmo's legs. The foreman reported this to the Plant Manager, who realized the problem. "I'll take care of this", the Plant Manager said to the foreman. The Plant Manager walked over to the new employee, interrupted her, and said, "I think I mis-communicated your responsibilities when I hired you. I said that you would be responsible for two test-tickles.....

hahahahahaha.... oh, okay. enough for now. Back to work...
