smart-sane's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You Have Made Your World Mine Watching: The Apprentice. Snore. It's a slow Friday. Today I'm definitely "making the move." And by that I mean begging and pleading for a day off during the week without losing my job. My strategy thus far has been all wrong, waiting til I was about to go home to do the asking. The first time I chickened out and just ran, the second time BOSSLADY was out to lunch. This time I'm going to do it right after the team meeting. Pray for me! I had 12 emails in my inbox this morning, and most of them were social emails from people I haven't met yet here at MPI. Like the subject "Superbowl Sunday or Superbowl SUNDAE?" in which they are having a Nintendo Game Cube party at lunch today with ice cream sundae bar. And the "Fat Tuesday" email that encourages us to wear silly hats and bring fattening treats to work on Tuesday and you may win a prize. And the email for the raffle prize winners who won $78 each. Where the heck do I work??? This will all take some getting used to. I was thinking about my past work experiences, and basically in a professional environment, I've always worked with this girl Marina. She was a little forceful in getting me to be her friend, she took all the initiative all the time. She basically even got me the job at EDS just to have someone to hang out with. I couldn't believe how crazy and loud and lacking and street smarts she was, and how much she still liked me even though I openly mocked her and her naivety. I was often sick of her by the end of the day, but I still find myself thinking fondly of her more than any other person I've worked with. But now that no one is here making me be friendly, I'm just holed up in my cube talking to you. And who are you, a computer screen? I'm sure they think I've gone mad. I would give anything to see Marina right now, working at this company. I tried to call her when I got this job and see how she was doing, but the only number I had for her isn't hers anymore, and she didn't answer the email I sent and besides she always wanted to move to Hollywood and become a soap opera star, so that's probably where I should try to find her. Hope you're doing well Marina, wherever you are! I'm not in a particularly sad mood, but I know that there were times when I was that this song probably would've put me over the top. Besides all that though, it is gorgeous. If I was a songwriter, this would be my gold standard. Take me home Cat!
