blog

So I guess I am bored enough and annoyed enough to start a blog. It seems kind of stupid and also slightly embarrassing. But I didn't bring a book to work today. I don't know why I just didn't feel like dealing with it. Big mistake. Big. Huge. I knew it would be quiet and for that I am thankful. But I didn't realize how incredibly and utterly bored I would be. It would be really funny if it weren't actually happening to me. I always knew I didn't do anything all day. I talk all the time about how I don't do anything but when faced with the reality of the situation it is quite shocking. I just sit here. I have to go downstairs to accounting in the next hour and even though it is only about five seconds away the thought of doing it is enough to make me vomit. They have enough money. Why do I have to go to accounting just because he wants to be reimbursed for his $7 cab ride to work? I didn't get a fucking cab ride.

Oh my god I am so miserably bored. It would be enough to bring me to tears but I don't care enough to cry. There is nothing on the internet that I haven't read about. I have decided to no longer read any bad press about the Eagles, which means there is really nothing to read right now. I am counting the seconds until 5:30. I took tomorrow off. That's right big corporate law firms don't give you Veteran's day off. So I had to use a vacation day. I am in desperate need for a three day weekend. Although I suppose what's the point, I always have to come back. I might as well not even leave.

But I have a fun exciting weekend planned so just a few more hours of staring at this screen and I will be on my merry way. Nothing terribly exciting happened today. I only got yelled at once. So this guy I work for asked me to do the change the names of four documents and send them to him in an email. Why didn't he do it himself? I don't know. From what I can see Harvard Law school didn't teach its graduates how to do very much of anything.

So after I translate what it is he actually wants me to do into English, because he never speaks into the phone when he is talking and he certainly never gives directions that actually make sense, I change the name of the documents to the desired title. They have to be done right because it is what "the client" wants. I don't give a rats ass what "the client" wants. He isn't buying me fancy dinners or paying for my cab rides. Whatever. I simply do as I am told and send the documents to him through a specific program because these lawyer types always need to have it done a certain way. But they can never manage to do it themselves.

After I'm done he calls me up and tells me I didn't do it right. He said I didn't send it through the proper program "Oh I didn't send it through docs open? Listen asshole I am the one who was sitting here watching me copy and paste and email your bullshit documents so who do you think knows better. Fuck you." I decided that wasn't the best approach and after I swore I did it right over and over I decide "oh fuck it." I do it again.

While I am doing the same thing I just did ten minutes ago over again I think to myself "wow he must really think I am stupid. Not only do I have a job that a monkey could do, I can't even send an attachment. Whatever." Practically the moment after I click send he storms out of his office. I don't know what's worse, hearing him mumble over the phone or hearing him mumble in person. He is always talking about something stupid and if it is over the phone at least I can make faces while he talks. But to be honest sometimes I make faces at him in person.

I suppose he believes the fact that I can't properly send an attachment is enough reason to have him get off his lazy ass and come harass me. He mumbled something, because he is always mumbling something, pushed me out of the way and is determined to show exactly how it is supposed to be done. Meanwhile I am sitting there with my arms crossed insisting I sent it the right way. Although I am sure back talk from his secretary annoys him, he manages to take it pretty well. "I swear I sent it exactly how you showed me!!!" "No you didn't!" "Yes, I really did!" In fact I sent it exactly the way he showed me to after his last tantrum. After all is said and done he admits I am right "I know I'm right!" I respond. A small victory I suppose but it wont last long. Tomorrow he will probably want me to do something equally as stupid and this will happen all over again. Oh but wait! I have tomorrow off!! Liz 1 - Law firm 0!

It smells like hospital food in here. This place sucks.
