tuesday.

incredibly busy.  good news is that i dumped a whole heap of work on DB so i feel much better.  he left his list of “first day” notes sitting on his desk and i had to use his desk because mine was being occupied by someone else (we have a shortage at the moment).  of course i shouldn’t look, but it’s right there, next to the phone, i can’t help but look at it.  you shouldn’t leave things out if you don’t want other people to covet them.  that’s why i also ate the apple on his desk.  just kidding.  i thought about it though under that same principle.  i’m not that bitchy.  okay, maybe i am.  anyway, if he didn’t want it to be seen, then he should have put it away.  also, my manager told me to sit at his desk because i was deskless for the week so really it’s his fault. my initial offer of “working from home” was quickly turned down.  DB’s notes say “keep it simple” and then a it says that these are the questions to ask:
“hello. i’m glad to be part of the team.  may i meet with you and discuss your role here?”
“what motivates you?”
“what are your strengths?”
“where do you see yourself in five years?”

i can’t wait till he gets to me.  these will be my answers

“no”
“cake and money”
“manipulation, delegation, taking shortcuts”
“not here”
…things may get a bit awkward.

in other news, it’s still bloody hot here which is a good thing in a way because i walk home now because the trams are too smelly.  the hot weather still sucks.  i told the brit that i may die of grouchiness this summer because of the heat.  he said that if grouchiness were truly an affiliction, i would’ve died long ago. see what he’s like?  i get no sympathy.
