Got a call this morning from the boss-man (he's in Switzerland on a business trip). Basically he was sounding off on how in our time of hardship i.e. reprecussions of the economy, he wants to be sure that everybody shares the same vision of the company as him.

Um...my vision of the company is for it to stay in business to pay my paychecks until Sept. 2003 and after that I don't care. I'm sorry, is that wrong of me? I suppose I should care about the company, but this is just a job, it's not my career. It's my in-between job as I wait to go to grad school. I come, I do my work, but I just can't make myself care. As such, conversations like the above involve a lot of "Sure, uh-huh, yeah, yep, I can see that, sure, etc." on my part.

I know, I know, all I do is complain about work, but 4 days and all that will stop...for awhile.

Anyway, I am stuck downstairs with two new people. Mostly they're getting everything done, but I'm the one they turn to with all their questions and I have stuff to do too! Rant, grumble, moan.

On a funny note, I was talking to the woman who has been taking time off due to her house flooding (and the reason we have all these new temps, albeit a damned good reason). Anyway she had a dream that when her first replacement, whom I really liked, left for gradschool (last week) I just got up at her farewell lunch and said "And I"m leaving too!" and walked out. So the boss' wife was frantically calling her to come back and stay there fulltime and she didn't know what to do 'cause she can't work full time and the boss' wife was just pissed as all hell at me because she had to quite her job so she could cover for me etc. etc. etc. Too funny. And to keep the dream from becoming a reality, I took last Friday as a "mental health day" and didn't go into work. With that and my vacation (did I mention 4 days?) All should be pretty well when I come back. Especially as there will only be about a month until my coworkers house is finished and she too will return!

Now, my only question is, will ercsk be completely out of character and actually meet up with eeyorekdm and I while we're in his neck of the woods.

4 days! 4 days! 4 days! 4 days!
