Let the games begin

HOLY CATS!

Deadline Day is usual pretty hairy. People calling in at the last minute to get thier ads in. Car dealership managers (who have the manners of 18 year old crackhead) calling in last minute changes or adding more chores to my list.I get here at 7:45am because we open at 8. I have to count the till and open shop...but the rest of the staff tend to waltz in closer to 8:20.

I usually don't care, but the crazy people of this county were up early and thought it best to call my office a tthe same time.When my suporvisor called me to tell me he was running a wee bit late my only reply was this Dr Girlfriend-like growl of "Get here now. I've been up to my armpits in phone calls since 7:45"

His reply was a very sheepish "oh. I'm putting it in gear. Be there soon."

The count so far today:1 cup of coffee1 person killed with kindness1 person transfered to the main office because that's what I do to the folsk who are complete douchebags1 walk-in who was as sweet as pie1 stern finger shaking at my boss for being this late on Deadline Day.

God..a journal post only 45 minutes into the work day? This has got to be a record.

Although I did get a wonderful e-mail from Nick and Dana in Africa. They got thier package! I should send them food next time. They are jonesing for junk food.Come to think of it...so am I.

Gah...it's way too early for this shit.
