Last week I couldn't figure out what to write about, so I asked you guys. Thank you for your suggestions. To satisfy all of you, I'd have to write a pornographic post about vacationing ghosts doing kinky things with food and wine and there'd have to be some kind of crazy legal case, bitching about my coworker who beat me out for a job he wasn't qualified for and discussion of being a woman in a male dominated field. I'm just not that talented to write that post... we'll have to see what I can come up with breaking that down into smaller chunks.
Like I said, a coworker beat me out for a job. If you look at me on paper, it was a slam dunk that I'd get this editing/writing position. I don't compliment myself that frequently or that freely, so I'm not exaggerating when I say there are very few people who were more qualified than me for this position. I didn't get the job. He who shall remain nameless did. I've seen his work. He gives it to ME to edit. I'm not impressed.
I hate politics. He got the position because he kissed more ass than I did. But damn it, I deserved that job.
I love the Amazing Race. I wish I could go on that show. But they'd probably fire me if I missed that much work to bum around the world. And there's no way I'd be able to make up that many hours!
I also love Netflix, even though right now hubby's movies are up on the list. I miss going to movies. It's basically how I got through law school. Hubby and I saw some of the WORST movies just to avoid doing work... Like when we got sick of studying for our property final and just had to clear our heads. So we ended up at the ghetto theater watching "One Night at McCool's." Ever see that movie? It SUCKED! Not surprisingly, we were the only ones in the theater.
We got this email last week reminding us that computers are only to be used for work related purposes and we should not be playing on facebook or on our personal email accounts. Uh-oh. Big brother is watching. Think he'll be pissed if I'm blogging during working hours? :)

What happened to the pornographic part! LOL!
I've heard that Netflex is doing well. Politics can suck.
Sorry about the job! Great Post! Thanks for sharing!
thankfully for you, you're not using facebook or personal email at the moment. now, when they say something about blogging, that's when you should panic, smash your computer and quit your job.
I'd go on the Amazing Race with you - but I don't eat gross food!
Netflix works for us. But I do miss actually going to a movie every now and then. Someday.....
Office politics suck. Fairness rarely plays a part in it and well, that's not fair!
Enjoyed your RTT! And I love your blog---I am now a new follower!
Now about that pornographic post you ARE going to write. Keep me posted. (I'm kidding. You know I'm kidding. RIGHT!?)
Have a great Tuesday and wave to your boss for me could you?!
I really wish you would have wowed us with your writing abilities and written the post you mentioned! Ha ha ha.
That stinks that you got passed over for the job. I hope you get the next one.
I love Amazing Race too. It's the only reality show I would consider going on.
I hate office politics too. One of the reasons I no longer work out in the real whirld. That and the restraining order ;)
**disclaimer...I do not have a restraining order it was a joke. Get over yourselves people**
;)
I'm waiting for the day that I get fired for blogging during work. And FaceBook. And I'll get fired, because I'm the computer support person and should "know better" than to use the computer for nefarious purposes other than work related... that's the biggest drawback to being able to multitask. I can have a computer installing software while I type here!
Is that guy that got the job instead of you still having you edit his work? And if so, is there any way you can NOT edit it so he's not performing to the standards? ;)
I would probably enjoy Netflix more if we made time to watch the movie(s) we get in the mail...right now I've had the same one for 4 months - would have been cheaper just to buy it to keep... ;)
I'm so glad to be away from big brother watching...now I just have to deal with Mr. Interruptus and Princess Nagger thwarting my attempts to spend time online... ;)
Happy RTT! :)
OMG. One Night at McCool's was the worst movie ever.
I'm dying to be a contestant on the Amazing Race, but I"m hindered by my Canadian-ness. Can you do something about that? Y'know, legally? :)
Otin: Sorry to disappoint. No porn today.
Harriet: Netflix would have to be doing well... You need to take out a mortgage to bring a family to the movies these days!
Anissa: Thanks. The sad part is that we both know I deserve the job more than he does.
Kelly: They might keep me from blogging next. Particularly because the last 3 times I logged onto my blog, my computer has been taken over by thousands of browser windows opening uncontrollably. Not good.
Tiaras: Let's go! If you can drive stick, I'll deal with the gross foods...
Swoozie: HA! I'm sure big brother saw you waiving. All this pressure to write porn... Stop...twisting...my...arm...
Ms S: I need quite a bit of time (and alcohol) to write that post. Maybe while hubby's away later this week...What else am I going to do!
Blueviolet: I got my parents hooked on the show. They never miss an episode.
Gladys: Sad you felt you needed to add that disclaimer :)
GreenJello: HA! glad you know how to productively use your time
Stacy: I'm too nice sometimes. I'll still edit his work, particularly because a) I just can't sabotage someone when they come to me for help, b) don't want to hear about him pissing off the partners and c) don't want to be asked by the partners to do a complete rewrite myself.
Keely: I'll look for a loop hole. It's what we lawyer types do best
I love Amazing Race! One of the only reality shows I can stand and it doesn't get old! You just never know what is going to happen from week to week.
And if I still worked in an office and had a blog, I'm sure it would bea total struggle.
And sorry to hear about the job... I'm not good at politics either. I always thought merit and talent should play a part in choosing people for positions.
I don't know what I would do without Blockbuster Online. Sometimes I sit outside next to the mailbox and wait for mah movies. I love it THAT much.
Sorry about the ass kissing coworker. That sucks.
Hopefully, revenge will work itself out in time. Usually people like that get what's fair.
Ah but if you went out bumming around the world, he who shall remain nameless wouldn't have you to edit and BAM! :)
