while the boss is away

[magicicada]

the mouse will make lj entries. hmmm... now, if only i could remember
what i was going to post about.

how about my job and the delicious slackness of the arrival times. at
the old job, i was scolded for arriving literally less than a minute
late. yes, that's right, the bosslady was pointing at the second hand
as if it was supposed to mean something to me.

at this job, my record of lateness without consequence is 20 minutes
late. i was the first person of my team of 4 to arrive as one was
expected to be out, a second was delayed unexpectedly by a sick kid and
the 3rd was delayed by the same awful weather that had made me arrive
later than i had expected. ah, sweet slackness. should i mention the
jeans and sneaks or would that be too over the top?

There's that quite matches the special feeling of disorentation you get from being bitched out for being a half hour to an hour late by someone who has owed you a paycheck for two weeks. :)

Obviously, that was my previous job, too.

I love my current job. As long as you put in 8 hours a day (more or less), they don't care when you get there.

Oh, and I'm wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals. ;)

you see, moments like this make me think there is some kind of cosmic justice.

Yes, it just moves very slowly.

Getting my bonus check at the end of the year will be a nice confirmation, though.

it appears as the .sig on entries originating from my (free) yahoo account. i find it deliciously ironic. it also amuses me to leave the .sig there when i post to lj as it tells me that i posted from a non-standard location, usually work.
