Flirting update: things are progressing very nicely, I must say. Jetson seems to be quite captivated by my somewhat erratic charm. Or maybe he�s just scared -- it�s early yet. The problem is that I�m running out of things to do to communicate my intentions! Today I brought him candy and threatened to kill his whole family. I really don�t have very many places to go on either end of the spectrum after that. He actually seems quite responsive now, as a matter of fact, which is quite exciting. For example, today he threatened to key my car, and then promised to bring me candy tomorrow! Ah, summer flings are great.
Work itself was okay today. I�ve made a conscious effort not to talk about my job too much, because for a while there, I couldn�t seem to shut up about it. I�ll have you know that things are going much, much better now. I�ve had both clients and fellow employees compliment me on my work, so I feel a lot more comfortable with what I�m doing than I did back when I started. The downside, of course, is that people now expect me to do stuff right. I was kind of enjoying the wiggle room I had, back when I was New Guy.
In fact, I actually just celebrated my first month in the office! Can you guys believe it�s been a month (well, more than that now) since I left Stupid Titanic Cruises? It seems like much longer to me. Sometimes I think about going back down there to check on the gang�and then I remember how I don�t hate myself anymore, and would rather eat a bag of rusty nails than set foot in that damnable office one more time. I much prefer A-F N-P, where we have pizza parties, and free coffee, and little gifts when you celebrate your first month in the office! Okay, so they only gave me a Water Weenie, but at least they gave me something.
Although, seriously, a Water Weenie?
Anyway, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who gave their advice on how to deal with my infection and my Temporary Internet Files situation at work! It was very kind, and downright neighborly, and I appreciate the help. Both situations are currently pending, because I haven�t really had a chance to take care of either one yet, but I�ll keep you updated on the progress (albeit vaguely in regards to the infection, because people get queasy if you talk about your health problems too much, I�ve noticed. I mean, by watching other people, of course. Ahem,) and hopefully, both will be resolved soon.
Lastly, I just wanted to express my sympathies to the victims (and families thereof) involved in today�s accident in Santa Monica. My heart goes out to you guys.
