Straight from Office Space

[danaeris]

My sub boss just wandered in and informed me that we are all encouraged, from time to time, to take lunch in a room with other staff members. But it isn't required. According to pyat, that was from the uber-boss, he just had the sub-boss do it.

I feel like Jennifer Aniston's character from Office Space being nagged about her flair. "Do you want to be the kind of person who does the minimum?"

In other news, I've been pretty anxious in the last few days. I suspect that the rate at which I've been doing freelance work is going to have to slow down a little, which is fine. It wouldn't have been this hectic if I hadn't gotten the donuts story idea, but that's into the editor, so it's almost all done. And my next story, if things work out, is a review of a nifty gadget for a top-dollar magazine. It should be much easier and more straightfoward than the donuts piece (believe it or not), and much more lucrative to boot.

Today is a paycheck day. Woohoo. Or something. I feel like an automaton. I imagine once I've adjusted I'll have more energy and feel less like I'm working or vegging all the time. I hope.

See Jeffery over there? He's eaten in the staff lunch room thirty eight times in the last month...

Socialization will cure the robot-blues!

What is the terrible secret of space? :)

Most of life is either working or vegging, until you have kids, after which it's much more working/playing and much, much less vegging.

Sounds like he's the sub boss in more ways than one.
