I believe my words were


"Well I think 1-5 is fair. That way I can work from home where it's a bit quieter. And then once the department takes off, I'll work from home full time."


I was joking...


he replied "no problem. just as long as you leave me your phone number in case I need you."


he was no joking...

Well.. he is the managing partner in charge of marketing If anyone would be hiring people for your position it would be him.


 


An update..


 


I new this was all too good to be true. He just walked over to tell me that the company "has made a corporate decision to implement (i don't remember the name)'s software system to track title orders for the other departments... and you are going to oversee it because you are the only one in the company with the knowledge to do so."


he was buttering me up before! it all makes sense now!

What can ya do.... corporate is corporate.


But I got mine. The little dig I made about the office being too nosy was in reference to his cell phone playing Hava Nagila at top volume every two minutes.

Is there anything more irritating?!

He he he. Since I don't own a homing device, erm, cell phone, it plays nothing!

But I do listen to 'Nobody Does it Better' on loop all day. Good for the morale!

I tend to listen to Styx's "Renegade"... seems rather fitting to my position in the office.

Speaking of morale, might take a minute to step out and smoke a fag.

Think my hair stylist might be a little ****ed.

Oh, and what I really mean is that I thought it might be good for morale if I held an experiment with tobacco.

i dont think they get our 'don't smoke or you will die a horrible fat-drops-out-of-your-cigarette-you-know death' commercials over in the usa


my phone theme is 'futurama' but it's a bit slow on the uptake (it is new mind you) and vibrates for a good few beats before the music starts and by this time i've already answered.. so really, when you think about it, it just farts at me

Nope we don't. We do get the occasional thetruth.com commercial, but those are mostly "big tobacco markets their products to underpriveledged youth! don't smoke"


although I do quite like the "SMOKING KILLS" labels you have on your packs over there. Mine just tell me they cause low birth weight, but since I don't plan on breeding, who cares?

I never understood the smokers at school - those videos and things they showed us in science lessons really scared me - you know showing the inside of lungs and clogged arteries and stuff -


We get ads on TV with people who have had lung cancer and stuff telling us how bad it was and that everyone should give up smoking.


AND all the packets have danger of death warnings on them!!
