Nothing of importance

A day in the life...
  • 6:15 Bad hair and shoe dilemma. Is it ok to wear camel colored shoes with a black and grey pinstripe suit? I am not good at this matching game. Why is my hair so frizzy? Oooo, I like how the dry cleaner starched my suit; it feels nice.
  • 7:20 Arrive at work
  • 8:00 Breakfast meeting with clients. Brought intern and a large coffee.
  • 9:00 Meet with intern to answer questions. Have bfast now that client meeting is over.
  • 10:00 Conference call
  • 11:15 Conference call
  • 12:30 Respond to emails, vmails, and action requests. Answer random questions usually directed at manager, as she's in meetings all day.
  • 2:00 Quick lunch of odd bits of chicken, beef, rice, and broccoli rabe (I hate broccoli rabe) from the office cafeteria buffet. Pig slop. Respond to emails, vmails, and follow up on outstanding items. Manager still in meetings. She resurfaces every 15 minutes on the hour.
  • 3:00 Hungry. Have cup of tea and Hershey's Almond Bar.
  • 3:45 Conference call. Continue to respond to email while on call. Need to pee. Ask Lockamy to listen on the call while I run to the bathroom. Ah, much better.
  • 4:45 Hungry. Another Hershey's Almond Bar.
  • 5:30 Conference call. Continue to action requests while on call. Am asked a question, but have not been paying attention so have no idea what the question is.
  • 6:30 Respond to more emails, vmails, and review client issues/outstanding items. Hungry. Scrounge in drawer to find a half eaten protein bar. Eat that too.
  • 7:30 Oh shit, pilates tonight! Leave office in a flurry.
  • 8:00 Pilates. So relaxing.
  • 9:30 Home. Cook dinner (shrimp stirfry) while checking email and balancing checkbook. Decide to have jello with whipped cream instead. Dinner into the fridge for tomorrow.
  • 10:20 Off to the gym for a quick run. Watch the Flavor of Love over 2 miles. Flav, you better watch out. Them gold diggers just want you for your big clock! I said clock, pervert.
  • 10:45 Stretch while listening to 50 cent and...Journey??? Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world. She took the midnight train going anywhere. Just a city boy born and raised in South Detroit. He took the midnight train going anywhere...Don't stop believing...
  • 11:10 On the way home: Why do certain phrases state the obvious? "I hate to be the bearer of bad news." Who doesn't? I'd like to meet someone who says, "I love being the bearer of bad news." What about "figuratively or literally speaking?" "I literally weigh a million pounds." Are they being figurative? I've never met someone who weighed a million pounds. Is that physically possible? I am confused.
  • 11:12 Pet neighbor's cat.
  • 11:15 Shower. Yes, I do this occasionally. No, I do not always smell of sunblock.
  • 12:00 Check email. Log in to do some work.
  • 1:30 Housekeeper coming tomorrow, so put things away. Watch TV. Hungry.
  • 2:00 Off to bed for same groundhog day tomorrow.
