*random notes

- i've said it before, and i'll say it again...this job search thing is mentally and emotionally exhausting. i'm really thinking about giving it a rest until january. with the craziness of the holiday season, the last thing i need is something else to worry about. i'm also afraid that i'm sending out resumes for jobs that may not be what i'm looking for in an act of desperation.

- annoying tidbits about my co-workers (i thought i'd get these little annoyances out as long as i've decided to stick around for a while...the alternative is that i tell them to their faces) -

sandy is a grown woman with a tigger face plate on her cell phone. she frequently wears a jean jacket that's adorned with a tinker bell applique.

christine doesn't have an inside voice. i hate it when she comes to my cubicle to tell me something. i always feel like she's yelling. she also shouldn't wear stirrup pants as those haven't been "in" since the early 90's.

someone needs to tell amber that washed out purple jeans are A). not appropriate for work B). not appropriate for life. not to mention she'll wear them with a pink shirt...i also think she needs to get laid because she is extremely cranky, condescending and a total bitch.

mia has a mullet. enough said.

harry clips his fingernails in his office...you can hear it across the building. he eats hard boiled eggs every day that stink up his office and the surrounding corridor. he calls me "kiddo." he's the v.p. of sales and marketing and he naps at his desk.

- and this isn't even half of the things i find annoying about my co-workers.

*sigh* i feel better now. sorry for talking crap about everyone. if i get it out now, in this format, i'm far less prone to having it actually come out of my mouth which would be much worse.
