I’m free! I’m free! I’m free! I’m free! Yippee!!!!!!!!! I’m free!
No, I’m not excited at all about getting out of this particular office. I start a new campus gig on the other end of the world from here. It makes me giddy for a number of reasons here:
1. I can continue on with uninterrupted pay days.
2. I can pay next month’s bills!
3. I get to go shopping for other office clothes really soon.
4. Did I mention pay bills and shopping?!
5. I’m outta here!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today’s latest drama point is the coffee. Yes, THE coffee. Oh sacred bean of life and energy that brings forth the almighty beverage of daily morning joy. It has just come to my attention that we're out of the happy coffee with caffeine in it. I mentioned it to the officemate and she told me it wasn't her problem! Ok. Fine! Be that way, it's my last day. Technically not my problem either. I asked the former occupant of this job about it, and she passed it on to the boss to deal with it on Monday when the new person starts. He’s making a list. He’s checking it twice. He’s gonna turn it all in to HR with all the naughty not nice stuff she’s pulled since I’ve been here. (Ok so it doesn’t scan well to Santa Clause is Coming to Town.) I feel sorry for the new person coming on Monday. It’s going to hit her like a Mac Truck and I won’t be around to deal with it thankfully. See #5 in my list.
I have been told that the officemate has *always* been the purchaser of the coffee, as well as THE KEEPER OF THE COFFEE MONEY! She doesn't drink it, but she has always bought the coffee and made it when she gets here in the morning until the big blow up about a month ago. It's not the boss she's bothering by not making the coffee, it's the rest of the faculty that drinks it like water that it bothers. It’s all passive aggressive bullshit she’s pulling and she’s gonna get shit-canned even faster if she keeps it up. If she thinks she can annoy or inconvenience him somehow, I’ve seen her do it. Coffee being the classic example at the moment; I’m sure there’s something else I have not noticed.
Of course I can get the money and do it myself, but when I am going to have time to get more today? I’m not going on my lunch hour. I'm not here Monday, so I’m not going out tonight to buy more. Technically not my problem anymore, but I am a nice person and therefore have concerned myself with being considerate of the needs of others at the moment. I have already been making coffee this week in particular because I have been drinking it, otherwise the guys make it and it's a mess. Ick.
Meanwhile, my time here has been highly conducive to researching various masters degree programs within a reasonable driving distance. I have settled yet again on the MSW ~masters in social work for those who don’t know~ down at IUPUI ~Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis! I can dedicate the next 2 years of upcoming Saturdays for part-time degree pursuit and still work full-time. After that second year, it gets tricky with classes and practicum required during the weekdays. Looks like I can complete some of that in Lafayette as well, which will be nice. We’ll just see how that goes. Perhaps I’ll write some more later when I have not just been handed something to do.

...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel...
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin
