i also wanted to say that i cleaned like a mofo on wednesday night. (what, you're not familiar with how mofos clean?) i was all super and stuff, and afterwards i even had some time to read my book before bed. my book, incidentally, was The Last Unicorn by Peter Beagle. i had no idea the cartoon was based on a book until i found this copy at a used book store in atlanta. i rejoiced. the book was good (or, rather, the cartoon was a good adaptation of it--there were lots of lines pulled straight from the text), and it went into a lot of situations and relationships that the movie necessarily couldn't explore fully. the movie was for kids, but the book had some more adult themes (for example, the characters at times recognizing the fact that they're in a fairy tale and thinking about the implications of that). it was a good read.

also, i just wanted to say that monday, when i was really busy, i wanted to be bitching to my boss about the absolute ridiculousness of my job and how much it sucks ass to do the things no one even notices i do, but you know what, i got over it. i did not say one word to ruby (it helped that she wasn't in on monday or tuesday) and now, i'm pretty okay with my duties. monday was just really overwhelming. it still pisses me off that these account execs can't be bothered to doublecheck the email addresses for these accounts they're sending us, especially when the email address is like the one thing that has to be correct--if i set up the account, and then the email with the logon info gets returned because the email address isn't valid, then i have to investigate and call the company and bother the clients (sometimes they're really nice and just give me the info, but other times they're bitchy and suspicious--hey, it's not *my* fault they've never heard of the nationally recognized, multi-million dollar company i work for). and you know, i don't enjoy jobs where i have to call and bother people. it's just not fun. particularly when the calls would be completely unnecessary if someone had just doublechecked (or, in some cases, filled in at all) the information i'm calling to check on. this was my beef with my temp job two summers ago too, when i had to call the doctors offices because they hadn't filled out their forms (or filled them out legibly) before sending them to us. someday, i'm going to be the one who fills out the form in the first place, not the peon who has to call and bother people. and when it's my turn to fill out the form, you better believe i'm going to do it properly.
