Stupid co-workers, writing the perfect memo, and music goodness

Yay, home from work early! Jesse, the other associate (here now and forever to be known as Immature Ass), whinged the whole night about me leaving early and threatened to call in tomorrow. Screw him! I told him that he could do whatever he wanted but if he didn't shut up I was going to report him for being a whiny little girl. That did the trick. But best prepare to be on my own tomorrow, just in case. No biggie. IA is about two steps from being booted out anyway for his gross inability to manage. But when he's around I get to take lunch breaks, so I'll miss that.

My boss has been gushing about my great writing ability (WHATEVER...how hard is it to write a memo and use spell check?) so now all the day and night associates come to me like I'm their 5th grade Reading teacher. I'm flattered but to be honest, I'm a fraud. I don't have an English degree, I haven't studied grammar since middle school, and more like than not I am guessing at proper phrases/punctuation/construction. Oh, well. No one seems to be able to tell the difference anyway.

*toot, toot* goes my own horn. *snicker* Also, kidding. Kind of.

Been listening to No Doubt's 'It's My Life' (mmmm...Gwen Stefani doing '80s covers makes me all warm and tingly) and Dido's 'White Flag.' Sad, yet creepy. The peppy riff doesn't jibe with the words (she's about one step away from boiling his bunny). But I'm no music major, so what the Hell do I know? You be the judge:





I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
I'll tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that makes sense

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Har. Dee. Har. I am about 30 hours away from a second degree. I used to take lit classes as my electives. NERD! *grin*
