my boss is out on maternity leave and has been replaced by a contract employee*. her name is gena davis, and her name is the best thing about her. i actually wondered after a few days here if she had changed her name to gena davis to make herself more marketable, but i doubt that she did. she is pretty helpless. maybe she just likes to have me do things for her? but the direction her requests are going in makes me think that i will soon be performing her body's autonomic functions for her. the thing that makes these requests less annoying? using her first and last name when thinking about it.
oh, i need to help Gena Davis with some reports.
Gena Davis wants me to order her one of those plastic floor mats to allow her chair to glide over the floor effortlessly - but a smaller one than i have, bc that one is much too large.
i need to open a zipped file for Gena Davis.
i need to send an email requesting a space at next week's screening of _Cheetah Girls 3_ for Gena Davis.
(all real requests)

anyway, she calls me into her office about 8,000 x's /day. it's like working for a toddler who's wearing a smart business suit.



* "contract employee" here is a euphemism for "temp" - and in fact, the guy from the mailroom came by yesterday to give me a check and asked me what i was doing here. i told him i was only gone for a few days on vacation. he meant because my boss is going to be out for 4 months - what would i be doing. i told him that there was a replacement. he asked if she was from the ny office, and i said no, she's a contract employee. his response was wow it must be a pretty non-essential job if they can just hire a temp to replace her.

some IMPOSTER is trying to horn in on my use of the name "Pants Charming"!!!!

also i have been thinking that my boss is messing with me. my friends say i'm being paranoid, but am i??? also, is this a common blog entry?

Theres a thread about fake bco supergroups and someone made a band called the boytatoes and for some reason it made me wonder if that was your own coinage and I googled it with great trepidation and got no hits and I don't know why I ever doubted you.

ugh omg u guys ... i have toxic shock syndrome.

last night we were clicking aruond on live tv bc the strike has made television even more of a wasteland when we stumbled upon celebrity rehab. i don't know if that's the real name of the show and i could easily check on the internet but it isn't worth the effort. there was this guy on who was an ultimate fighting champion and got into cocaine. he was talking about how his addiction affected his personal relationships and he mentioned some turmoil with his girlfriend, and then said that they were involved in a domestic abuse. the way he said it one could almost take the blame off of him, until you realize rather quickly that he is, professionally, an ULTIMATE FIGHTER with a cocaine problem, and that his girlfriend is most likely outmatched.

try to find how much standard international postage is on the internet. it is not the 1 click procedure i assumed it would be.

i am going to begin selling a new product on this website!!! it's laundry soap and it costs $300/box. it is called couturegent and i am taking orders NOW!!!!
