Mar. 28th, 2003 12:50 pmThis morning I was having several very odd but interesting dreams, and then my alarm went off in the middle of one and I really want to know how it would have ended.
Work this morning has sucked, rather. I've been working on a mass mailing for the scientific committee of a dental organization, which wouldn't be so bad if my boss hadn't submitted a report to the president of the organization that said the mailing went out last week. So, since the mail goes out at 2:00ish, I spent the morning frantically stuffing envelopes, interrupted by:
1. My boss wanting me to tell him why his computer is running so slow and fix it
2. My boss telling me about three or four other projects that have to be done by the end of next week (which is what he means when he says "no rush")
3. A trip to the photo developers to drop off film that has to be developed by this afternoon
4. Miscellaneous interruptions trying to drag me into organizing the March-birthdays lunch for the department
5. A request for the addresses of any alumni we have in Colombia
6. Two separate UPS deliveries
7. The normal clinical paperwork that happens every day
8. The facilities department showing up to duct-tape the carpet to the floor so the door will close again
Normally I don't mind dealing with weird things like the request for alumni addresses, but when I'm desperately trying to get 60-odd mailings collected, addressed and sealed, interruptions of any kind make me want to commit homicide.
The birthday lunch, however, was rather nice. Free pizza, which I got the last slice of because I finished sealing envelopes before I went in for lunch, and a very nice cake with strawberries in the middle. It's amazing what food will do for your outlook.
Speaking of food, the red-bean popsicles I'm addicted to at the moment are only 85 calories each. Go me!
I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow morning, because I'd really like to be able to walk to Harvard Square. Oh well, if it does rain I can stay home and do dishes instead.
Happy Friday!
