Gah. Err...

... my computer's started sporadically buzzing now. I think I should replace the fan. Maybe I should get two in case the second one's failing.

SO glad today is Friday. I want today to go as quickly as possible. Must go to house and show Craig the Super Kaizo World videos of the guy trying to space Special Stage 2. XD

Washed my hair yesterday. Wanted to get it professionally done, really, but didn't because I was exhausted yesterday, and I didn't want to spend the money. Did it myself. Have to do something with the stuff. I swear, if I new I'd look okay with short hair, I'd cut it off. Except the bit in the front, because I like having something akin to bangs. I've hit that "screw hair!" point I've hit so often before that usually leads to getting my hair braided for three months at a time. Not getting it braided, though. I said I wasn't doing that again because of all the hassle.

Grr, pesky eight-hour day ruining my escape. Hopefully it'll be quiet. Maybe the boss will be out again, although I doubt it. Maybe he'll leave early?

I could shoot Penny.

(Penny was the secretary at the other end of the floor, where the CONNECTIONS/Data Integrity staff used to sit before we got word about CBVH coming here to take up the empty desks. She got axed in 2007 when the state cut its contract staff, and she's now at ACS doing something else.)

I'm still in the process of removing things from the file cabinets on the other side of the floor and throwing out or moving to other places. Some time ago, I found a bunch of old timesheets (we're talkin' old, back to 2005) for contract staff and didn't know if I should keep them or toss them. I was just told today that I could toss them. However, I'm going through them because, if I don't leave this job for something else, there's always a possibility that something will come up and the boss will want copies of ridiculously old timesheets. And if I say I don't have them, he'll go "Ohhhh, you should have kept them" (especially since one of the two employees I'm getting the sheets for is his sister-in-law--yeah, no conflict of interest going on in this office! :D) and start telling me how to do my job again, and I will not let that happen.

No problem, right? Wrong.

The problem comes in with Penny's filing.

When I got here, everything was nice and neat in folders labeled for each person. Each person's timesheets were in by date--oldest in the back, newest in the front. It's the way I would have done it, and people can say whatever they want about Rose, but she knew how to file and keep things neat. Penny's "system" is by date. There is no other sorting involved. What's worse, the sheets are in accordion folders and even the grouping is off. Also, nothing is stapled (each timesheet consists of two sheets, one with the time worked, the other with a summary of what they did for the week). So I'm going through all these copies, mainly two at a time, but sometimes that doesn't even work because a sheet won't be in the right place or I'll run into Laszlo's sheets, which have a third sheet. The sheets aren't sorted by name, so I HAVE to go through them all, because I can't just look between this name and that name to find what I want. So I'm going through everything and pulling the sheets for Rani and Fofie out and putting them into separate piles. Then I have to sort them into the right order. Then I have to staple them. Then I have a nervous breakdown and shave my head.

Rrrrgh. RRRRGH.
