things i've learned at work:

• gourmet jelly beans can make a gourmet meal
• how to spell accommodations
• when you hang up the phone, always say "thanks [person's name]" before you hang up
• there is no i in team but there is a lot of "but you were supposed to do this..."
• stress may or may not burn calories, it does however, inspire you to steal small boxes of dots and junior mints from the halloween candy basket on the receptionist's desk
• in a related issue, stress also causes breakouts

our workplace is just one big happy family

nine o'clock on a monday morning and i've already mouthed off to my supervisor. the supervisor that is engaged to the boss.

i'd better get a raise.

it's kind of frightening to make the calls for an entire publication. information viewed by thousands of people. yet i'm on my way to do just that. any problems, yeah, it's my fault.

they're coming to take me away, ha ha!

i just realized that as i was organizing my office, i was making little "shwoosh" noises as i moved things to the proper place. instead of blushing and shuttin up, i did it louder. see, if i make it seem like i'm doing it on purpose, maybe people won't think i'm crazy.

pretty much a wash

fun
having random guys buy you drinks all night, is fun.
celebrating a best friend's (that you've known since your first job) 21st birthday, is fun.
getting random guys phone numbers that you're never going to call (even if he's really cute), is fun.
partying with a bachelor party full of people you've never met, is fun.
drunk dialing people, is fun.

not fun
seeing an ex-boyfriend's (that you hate) ex-girlfriend (whom you also hate), is not fun.
someone trying to take your bra off in the middle of country kitchen, is not fun.
being thisclose to a drunken catfight in the middle of country kitchen with a best friend (from high school), is not fun.
realizing what kind of person your friend (from high school) really is when she straight up denies that she hit you, even tho you can still feel it (even tho you're really drunk), is not fun.
driving home, is not fun.
