i REALLY LIKE MY NEW JOB. oOH, LOOK AT THAT! aLL CAPS! wELL, THAT'S THE WAY THE COMPUTER HERE WORKS, SO i GUESS i'M GONNA STICK WITH IT FOR A LITTLE VARIETY.
aNYWAYS, i WHINE ABOUT GOING TO WORK CUZ i'M DOWN HERE IN THE LAB alllllll DAY, BUT i REALLY DO LIKE WHAT i'M DOING. iN CASE YOU CARE, i'M RUNNING THE tRIAGE bnp-METER, THE vITROS 250, AND THE lhS. i GET TO DO MOST STUFF REALLY INDEPENDENTLY, WHICH IS NICE AFTER LISTENING TO SOMEONE TALK at ME ALL DAY DURING MY ROTATION. pLUS THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AT NIGHT ARE NOT nearly AS SNOOTY AS THE DAY PEOPLE, WHO ALL TAKE THEMSELVES waaaaaay TOO SERIOUSLY JUST BECAUSE THEIR NAMETAG SAYS "mAYO" ON IT. NERR TO THEM, i SAY.
uNFORTUNATELY, i STARTED AT THE EXACT WRONG TIME HERE SO THAT i WON'T GET PAID FOR LIKE THREE MORE WEEKS OR SOMETHING. bY THEN MY BANK ACCOUNT WILL BE JUST ABOUT GONE, i BET.
oK, THIS IS THE MOST DULL POST i REMEMBER WRITING IN QUITE SOME TIME. sO I APOLOGIZE, BUT i'M A LITTLE BORED, SO i'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING, RIGHT? oNE INTERESTING THING IS THAT i THINK ONE OF THE LAB WORKERS, A WOMAN, HAS BEEN FLIRTING WITH ME FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS. i'LL GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES:
1. yESTERDAY i WAS SARCASTICALLY SAYING, "dO YOU THINK i COULD DO BLAH BLAH BLAH IF i REALLY WANTED TO?" hER REPLY: "iF YOU'RE WOMAN ENOUGH..."
2. tODAY SHE WAS SHOWING ME HER LAMINATED LIST OF CODED lab3 COMMENTS. mY TWO CENTS: "wELL, YOUR [COMMENT CARD] ISN'T AS BIG AS ANDY'S..." hER REPLY: (lAUGHING) "i DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT BY THAT, BUT UMM...." (LONG SUGGESTIVE PAUSE)
nOW i REALIZE THAT THESE AREN'T YOUR TYPICAL FLIRTING FARE, BUT...THEY HAVE A very DIFFERENT (READ: TAME) SENSE OF HUMOR DOWN HERE, SO...i JUST FELT LIKE THERE WAS A TONE THERE THAT i WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK UP.
cALL ME CRAZY, BUT i THINK i'M A DYKE MAGNET. :)
***Oh my god, I just previewed this post. SO sorry that the all caps thing is SO irritating. I've even managed to annoy myself, but I don't have time to go back now. Poop.***
