This strip had me chuckling this morning. My old boss was this way and it drove me insane:

I hate Mondays. I’m still in weekend mode when I wake up on Monday morning and realize I have to drag my ass to the bathroom to get ready for work. I sincerely wish I could just come into the office and not be bothered until I’m awake but no, I’m bombarded with 500 million “Good Morning, How are you’s?” that I can’t even begin to answer. I am sooooo not a morning person.

It’s fucking cold in here which isn’t helping my mood. I fucking HATE being cold. It’s the most uncomfortable feeling in the world and every day in the office is spent freezing my ass off. The cheap fucks here won’t use the heat. I’m hoping they’ll be cheap with the A/C this summer so perhaps I can enjoy a bit of comfort. If they keep the A/C way the hell up then I’ll know the bastards that run this place aren’t cheap, they’re frigid.

I’m really glad this is only a 4 day week for me.

I had the weirdest dream last night. It started out really weird. I was riding in the elevator with people I didn’t know and one girl, a blonde girl I’d never seen before looked at me and said sarcastically, “This is your floor”. I nodded to her and got off the elevator. Supposedly I was at work but it looked nothing like my workplace in the dream. I met with someone who told me my next assignment was to keep a young woman from blowing up this important building. The building in the dream seemed to symbolize America because blowing it up was going to destroy our country. When shown a picture of the girl I realized it was the one from the elevator. I ended up spying on her and that night is when she made her move. She ran down a set of stairs and grabbed the bomb on her way out the door. I followed her and was annoyed when her car was significantly closer to the door of the building than mine was. I hadn’t even gotten to my car when she’d gotten in and started hers. Luckily she hadn’t noticed me though so she wasn’t in a rush to get going. She started backing out as I was trying to get my key into the ignition. She noticed me as she drove past and sped up. She was around the corner by the time I was backing out of my parking space but I could still see her stuck behind a car that was vulturing another spot in the parking lot. It was about this time that I woke up though so I have no idea if I would have saved the day or not.

I’m kind of annoyed because my boss is back in the office today. I don’t have a lot of work today and I’d prefer to keep it that way. The crappy thing is that she walks over here all the time and it becomes really hard to “look busy”. Of course, then again, I’ve had a user waiting for my bosses assistance since last Monday so it’s good that she’s back. I keep waiting on this woman to come over here and bitch. She’s already sent me her damn phone change 3 times after I’ve already told her I have it and will get it in at the next update. I’m really surprised she hasn’t hounded me again and again about her access problem.

I was thinking yesterday about how I’d still like to open my own cat shelter. I think I could do that though and be a psychologist too. I’d just have to recruit a little help for the cat shelter. That or I could wait to run the shelter after I retire. 🙂

That reminds me. We discovered we’re feeding our neighbors dog from 2 houses down. *fume* We were inside yesterday and we hear the dogs name being called. It’s in our yard and running around like it owns the place. Then it comes up on the porch and sniffs out the empty bowl. So THAT’s why the stray cat seems to eat a lot on some days. I really wish those people would keep their dog in it’s yard. They just let it run around wherever. They do keep it tied up at night so we’ll be pulling the cat food during the day and leaving it out at night. I know for a fact that the stray cat is eating it too because we’ve seen kitty paw prints in the snow over the winter. There’s no way in hell we’re going to keep feeding the neighbors dog our expensive Iams cat food. I’m pretty irked about that. Here I think I’m feeding a homeless kitty and I’m feeding a dog that doesn’t even belong on our property.

Well, I guess that’s about it for now. Guess my cold ass will see about getting some work done.
