Take this one:

I only got 64% Dixie, which is upsetting to me. The test did an excellent job at detecting the weird quirks of my accent that people have pointed out to me before.

I'm clearly an electrician.

Just to clarify - I'm a 22 year old who's still in college and technically employed as an office assistant at a corporate law firm. I make terrible money, despite multiple pleas for more and ridiculously non-office assistant responsibilities, including creating the company website, redlining documents and running personal errands. We are moving to a new office space shortly and will require a number of things to be done, all of which I am responsible for.

Recently one of my three attorney bosses D. asked me to write up a "work scope" for our electricians. Obviously, I don't know how to fucking do that, so I dodged it and did other things...until now.

My main boss A drags in these giant drawings from our contractors and tells me i need to contact "whoever 'Hoobie' at [big client] recommended to D" and tell him what we need to have done. Because I obviously know all about phone jacks and shit. She sits here at my desk and fishes through the drawings showing me these markings and going, "Now I think the open triangles mean an existing thing they'll have to pull...but wait then what do the half filled ones mean? Maybe those are new units...oh well there's no key, call P. and figure out what these symbols mean and then get all this info to the wiring guy and get a bid."

Okay then. I'll just do that. I'll just figure out what all of these drawings mean and call the contractor who's going to do the work and tell him what to do without sounding like an asshole. Yeah, let me just get right on that. WTF?

Envelopes for teh lose.

here's a conversation with my boss from this morning.

A (from file room): Don't we have any regular envelopes?

me (from desk): Do you mean #10s?
A: Just like regular normal envelopes
me: (walks in conference room, grabs #10s): like these?

A: No, like bigger...
me: (points at manila 8x10s we use EVERY MONTH to mail a large client's invoices): Like these?
A: no, those are trash, I don't know why we even have those

A: Like just a bigger normal like regular oversized envelope
me: (goes in drawer, fishes out $1/envelope giant 9x13 tyveks) like these?
A: (sigh) yeah that'll work

that's not REGULAR.

Color Personality Quiz

I sound like a needy brat, don't I?

OnePlusYou Quizzes and Widgets

According to this website, I could take 21 five-year olds in a fight. That's a LOT. I highly doubt it.

Changing themes AGAIN

Now this is a personal blog! I've decreed it! Yay!

As such, don't expect frequent posts. I've never kept up with personal blogs on a regular basis.

Just to brag a bit: I got all As in the spring semester. W00t. FYI, I took Merchandising, Human Ecosystems and Technological Change, Entrepreneurship, and Finite Math with Applications.

Check back soon for random surveys I just felt like filling out, most likely.
