Puddin Pop

Now I'm no fancy shmancy lawyer or high falootin corporate honcho but I do have a job that "occupies" my time from 8:30am to 4:30pm on a weekday basis. I quote occupy because I shall describe to you my duties, which may explain my new ability to contribute more regularly to my blog.

7:05 AM - wake up, step over the furry roommate and eat my breakfast in peace as the parentals have their alarm set for the same time but do not make an appearance until between 7:20 and 7:30

7:50AM - I make a valiant attempt to leave. I have to wait until this time because the Dirty Nat has succombed to pressure and has established a billion bus stops in my neighborhood for a school that is within a mile of my abode. So all the lil neighborhood thug wannabees have shown a tendency to gather in front of my house to light fireworks (at night) and play football (before the bus). I cannot leave during this because I would be too tempted to run them over with my car because I know that their uncoordiated little bodies have probably been hitting my car.

8:30-8:40 - this is about the time I roll into work. I shoot for the 8:30 slot because that's technically when I'm supposed to be here (plus its the only time when you can get a good parking spot) but traffic is a biotch so its usually closer to the 40ish end of things. Lucky for me, punctuality is not a gift that people in my office are blessed with. One commutes from Worcester so he's either obscenely early in an attempt to beat the traffic or a tad late.

8:40-noonish - this is when I catch up on emails. Read tv recaps and blogs. Sometimes I head over to the trusty Facebook site to see what my friends are up to. Also a bit of networking going on over there. Basically, I try to look busy so people don't pity me. I hit up about 4 celebrity/entertainment related sites before venturing over to the sports and news categories. Eventually, around 10ish someone comes up with a task for me. So I make three copies of something and get back to my surfing. At 11, the trusty mail man comes so I have another 20 minutes of updating incorrect alumni addresses. If I'm lucky there are some donation checks that take a lil while to process. Today I got to put name badges together! Tres exciting!

Lunch time in the trusty caf. Whenever I go in there, it makes me think of those newsreports about how safe are we from bacteria. It just looks like festering bacteria hole. This week's food selections have been subpar and dangerous. My number one rule? If you can't identify the meat by sight you need to move along. I tried to do a turkey sandwhich cause you can't screw that up right? I was never one of those kids that ate the fake plastic food, but if I did I bet the taste would be similar to what I ate today. They put in a new ice cream station but I let myself get intimidated by football players who made a comment about "puddin' pop" as soon as they saw my booty. I'm not gonna lie, there's some jiggle to my wiggle and I've heard all kinds of references to my derriere but puddin pop made me take pause and I selected a small cookie instead. I'm hoping this is not a violation of the wedding diet.

Post lunch time - this is what I am currently in. I'm B-O-R-E-D, there are some student employees today and they keep me entertained. I looked for some jobs again and reapplied to a job I applied to last year. Mostly because there appears to be a different person in charge of hiring. the head honcho has left early again which means there is less than a 10% chance I'll be given anything to do before I leave. I did receive a check today so I can leave early so that I "have time" to drop it off before the office closes. Word! This time is usually what I reserve for my plan to win gold. AOL's pop culture Gold Rush. Me and my gold buddy Kellay got kinda screwed yesterday with technical difficulties but here's hoping we make it to the ATL this week. Probably not though since the final is on Sat, when neither have has access to a computer

What else do I do? Oh yeah, two of my pops have gotten me involved in football rackets. So as to not confuse them (one involves a spread) I have to research on different days. Today is Big Poppy day so I've been looking at collegiate and NFL games to make my picks. Yesterday I did reserach for JK senior. here's hoping for a victory cause I need some new electronics.

that's about it, I get to learn about proper wound wrapping techniques for samson at 6 because it is suture removal day. the fun never ends in the Dirty nat
