High Concept
Am I blogging...or am I pitching my existence?

The Pitch: It's Like Clockwatchers meets The Core!  

Not how I had hoped to spend today. I was thinking we'd have a quiet day at work, everyone scared off by the heat, and I'd get a chance to write reviews for the Savage Critic while casually fanning myself and sipping diet cokes.

Instead, it's been a non-stop work fest, with the first part of the day spent transcribing a colossal nineteen pages of one attorney utterly eviscerating the work of the other. Entertaining, yes. Relaxing, no.

I've been back from lunch for an hour and it's been nothing but dumb-ass jobs filed by an attorney and his hapless assistant, who's getting paid time and half to put in job requests for things the attorney is too lazy to walk down the hall.

And the heat! I'm not really aware of it except that I'm very nauseous, probably because I'm not drinking enough water, and very cranky. I should go before the attorney or secretary show up with more work and I have to explain why I'm (a) blogging, and (b) referring to their work as dumb-ass.

More (?) later.
