I'm currently at work because I finally had my computer connected. This past week I've just sat at my boss Ann's desk staring at the back of her head or off into space. I've put in like 5 hours of overtime. Right now, Troy and Matt are on their way to pick me up. I've tried calling Matt's house since like 5pm so I can tell them what time to pick me up, but the phone has been off the hook. Oh well; at least I know I'm being picked up and won't have to sleep in my cubicle next to my newly installed PC.

There is so much drama at work. I asked Ann if it's typically this dramatic, though I wanted to say unprofessional. She said no, but I doubt her. I'm replacing her previous assistant...well actually her two previous assistants. The last one, Armando, just stopped coming into work. Ann says that she told him that he could go home early because there was nothing for him to do. Armando left, and didn't show up for the rest of the week. Now, Armando was replacing John. John recently married Carolyn, an executive administrative assistant highly esteemed here at Gateway. John apparently had problems learning his tasks (I find them elementary), and Ann fired him, but because John is involved with Carolyn, John was moved into another position; I've heard he's not doing well there as well.

Anyway, Ann is pretty cool. She reminds me of Laura San Giacomo.

By the way, I think it's funny that Evan (AKA E.V. of Blogger fame) has Jason Kottke listed as a recommended site, but Jason has Evan's on his "B-List" ("not recommended at all"). Ironic.
