I like it when the hobo leaves...

I get this giddy feeling of "Oh good! He's leaving leaving, maybe his job here is done, perhaps I don't have to see his twitchy fingers and shifty ways, oh joy!"

But I know, deep down, I can hope all I want, the hobo is here to stay. Sigh. At least until the fence gets built...

I made it through Monday, day one of five where I do the phone-answering thing...Now, you may ask, "what is so bad about answering a phone? Everyone does it, everyone has to do it, suck it up, sissy..."

Okay, look, when the phone rings, here's what I imagine is calling me...

Scary enough, right? Ugh.

Structure, I like the structure of my day...it's why I seriously love my cubicle. There are people who fight the cubicles, but for many years, i've fought to get back to the cubicle. I feel like a content little gopher in my cubicle...I can just work and work and work and be content...except for the phones! Drat!
