Overtime

At work today, I was tasked with counting the tip jar to distribute among everybody. There certainly wasn't a lot of money inside. But one customer had apparently decided to unload their change jar in ours. I counted 937 pennies. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, the hiring coordinator was supposed to send me a slate of 30 possible job candidates. At 3, she sent in 10 people, none of which were qualified. Now I have to find them myself. How is this possible? We're in a recession! I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I planned on finishing up right on time, heading to dance class, and taking a nice bath. So much for that plan. I got a call from my roommate at 4:55. Our bathtub is broken. I had to stay late at work to negotiate with the plumber on the phone. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was sweeping the front sidewalk clean at our Costco. It took a while. Someone had dropped a 30 pound bag of croutons, and the birds approved. I literally had to sweep away all the pigeons with my broom. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I finished my cell culture, which took me about four hours. I took a breather to go to the rec room we have in the building and play ping pong. When I came back, I realized my cells were contaminated. Now I get to do it all again. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I broke a few different rules in the name of improving the company. Or being lazy, I guess. Really, is it that important that we have time sheets be accurate? And that I didn't work those extra two hours? I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was playing piano during a break at my job at Target. By the end, I had a small crowd gathered around me. They asked me if I was a professional. I am. A professional cashier, that is. I went back to work. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was playing piano in the mall. This is what I went to music school for. Anyway, I started taking requests in order to boost tips. I don't think I'll ever want to play the "Peanuts" song again. Ugh. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, my best friend and I were g-chatting on a few separate occasions. I ended up staying late for a conversation with my boss. Later, I looked at the g-chat logs. Apparently, I'd done over 1000 lines of g-chat nothingness. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I spoke to our Chief Financial Officer, who is apparently eyeing a number of cuts in services. Like, you know how we get paid during lunch now. That's about to be a thing of the past. Hello 8.5 hour days. My life just got shorter. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I was tasked with rewriting the employee guidebook on etiquette. It was an OK project, and a little interesting to try and make up the rules. Plus, the entire time, my cubicle mate was looking at online dating sites. I'm dumbemployed.

At work today, I had to take a client out for not only dinner, but drinks as well. It was fine, but by the end of a second beet I was exhausted. Not the client. He's a forty something family man who insisted on doing body shots. I'm dumbemployed.
