![]() Tuesday, September 07, 2004 The Pitch: It's like From Beyond meets Broadcast News! Oh, the headaches we will have! The lunches we will toss!Today, after a kinda horrible evening last night, work has been about as much fun (as my dear father would say) as a hammer blow to the nuts. Despite such piquant imagery, it hasn't been overtly horrible--it's just been an extended run on an out-of-control hamster wheel after I already arrived pre-exhausted. Of course, this being the workplace that it is, the firm stocks no aspirin or advil (supposedly for fear of lawsuit, an all-too-cheap bit of poetic justice). The carrot I dangled to get myself through this day was that this was my Friday and I'd have two days off if I got through it. And yet, I'm coming in to work tomorrow night (from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00) on overtime so that particular carrot shouldn't have worked. That it did says a lot about the power of habit. Wow. Time to go find a friendly attorney--they've always got advil socked away and I honestly don't think I can wait until I get home. More later, barring frontal lobe explosion. posted by Jeff Lester | 6:31 PM | |
