Oh Joy.... NOT!

Grrr... Roar... And other explicatives I aught not say in the office. Here's the joy of being a temp at Purdue. I was informed that the intern gets to have my desk 3 days a week between 10 am to 5:30 pm. It's something like Tuesday, Thursday, and then Fridays are NOON to 5:30pm or something like that. My complaint is, my shit is at this desk, I have adopted this desk as my work space, not the kindergartner table they have crammed into one of the corners between the filing cabinets like a prison cell with poor lighting. My personal track ball mouse and USB extension cord is here. I don't want someone else using either one, they are MINE. I lose my happy quiet lunch space with the computer to check e-mail on lunch and type up my blogs that some folks actually like to read once in a while. Yeah, losing my desk at lunch pisses me off to no end; I lose it for break times on those days, so I won't have access to a computer. WTF? Apparently this is not uncommon around here. Ugh. I guess you can say I am fairly territorial about my stuff and my space. Besides, I went through the friggen effort to clean this area of food particles and other crap my first week here. I don't want to worry about someone else's cooties on the keyboard, phone, monitor etc etc. Did I mention I lose access to the computer and streaming music at my desk too? I'll be hooked up on the MP3 player more often than not then. Ugh. Yeah, this was not designed to make me feel happy today. Oh well, I have some other stuff to do.

So I am thinking now, they're running out of legitimate things for me to do and are looking for stupid things for me to stay busy with. They say they want to hang onto me as long as they can, but for some reason, I am thinking not so much so because of the whole getting bumped from my desk at least 3 days a week. Ugh. I am now sharing things to do with the other temp that trained me three weeks ago, so that's a scary thought. It's hard enough to feign busy with a computer at my desk, it's going to be hard to do so without a computer at my desk. Have I mentioned that there are at least two other departments on this floor without users for computer that just sit collecting dust since I have started working here? Perhaps it would be a good use of resources to put the intern there rather than bump me off my damn desk! Or let me go to another building where I might make more than 8.50 an hour doing much of the same thing or less. Blah-blah-blah-blah.

Almost forgot, scary thought. Sitting at a stop light with people in front of me, semi-truck decides blow through stop light and nail an SUV full of people. I don't know what he was thinking; he just flew on through the light and took this automobile out right in front of a bunch of people. EEK! Apparently everyone is ok, despite the fact the SUV got mangled, thank god for side impact air bags? I really don't know. Someone must have been looking out for them, that's for sure. It wasn't nearly as entertaining as watching stupid people sling up-side the right of a rig and have it turn into them. CAUTION! WIDE RIGHT TURNS! With pictures that show you what not to do. DUH! Not really the same thing, but hey, just thought I'd throw that in there. :)

Oh well, it's time for chocolate therapy.

...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…
