Coming in second

[icepixie]

Well, the paper beat me. I still only have three and a half pages (which means I have, at most, a page and a half to finish part two and conclude. Kill me now), but I'm done for the night. (Also, I just realized that for the majority of the paragraph I was just working on, I was pretty much arguing the same thing one of the critics I'm using does. CRAP.)

Tomorrow, I will prevail. I must prevail, because I'm not dragging this into the weekend. I have another paper to start Friday. Not to mention grading and reading to do Thursday. Ugh.

Using this icon to remind myself why I'm still in school and not just chucking it all and heading back into corporate America.

As someone who is living (or, well, "living" may be overstating it; "sleepwalking" may be a better word choice) in corporate America: DOOOOON'T DOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIT!

Oh, I well remember the sleepwalking. But I also remember the being completely done for the day at 4:30, and I have to admit that it was nice...

This is too true. And I attempted to insert him in various places, like bulletin boards or IM status messages, everywhere I could in my workplace. It didn't take.

Should I tell you funny stories about my job so that you won't be tempted to become a corporate drone...?

[icepixie]

Sure!

Okay, that 'funny' story isn't from me, but from a good friend of mine who was told yesterday that her temporary contract wouldn't be renewed.

The company's down in the dumps, financially speaking; the two bosses are constantly yelling at each other across the hallway because one of them lent the other one the security deposited for a rented luxury flat he has now to give up (while claiming that the deposited money was actually his); and then all employees were yelled at in a team meeting for not having enough "positive thoughts".

Satisfied? ;)

Niiiiiiice. I'm guessing this friend is okay with her contract not being renewed?

After the initial shock had worn off, I think she's now more than relieved to get the hell out of there.
