Today seems to be one of those days yet again where no one ever seems to want to answer their phone, or return calls or send faxes. Granted, it’s still early. But it’s not making me very happy. It’s a Tuesday moring. People should be in their offices. And if they ARE in their offices, they should answer their phones and when they do answer, they shouldn’t hang up. Hopefully that was an accident. But I’l giving them a few minutes to realize their mistake, and maybe they won’t do it again. Right now I just want to cancel everyone’s file.

I’m still in a semi-good mood. I came up with 2 short film ideas. One of which I hope to rewrite into a feature film.

I have 12 new files left before I have no more work to do. That’s until I talk to my manager. I’m changing over to another area in the department. Well, I will be eventually. Don’t know if I’ll like the change, but you can’t knock it til you try it, right? I’ll let you know how it turns out like a month later.

Maybe I’m just being anal or something (what else is new) but, is it possible for guys to clsoe the door in the bathroom door stall when they go in there? Even if it’s for a standing job? I’m not saying you need to lock the door, but can you at least make it look like it’s occupied way before I’m almost into that very same stall? Besides that, even if I’m already aware of a presence, some people are a little too open about that business. It’s not that I’m TRYING to peek inside. Far from it, but I’m just saying… It’s a public place.

As for non-pet peeve related events, I held the floor for a short while in our team meeting discussing how I magically make numerous file disappear by the hundreds on a weekly basis. I was super nervous up until I started speaking. I mean I still was nervous WHILE I was speaking, but that’s because of the murmers from the audience. Actually, one person was shaking her head as if to disagree. But I think I misunderstood that as “I couldn’t do that”, and not “You can’t do that!”

Besides, I didn’t even give all my so-called secrets of how I do what I do. I just told them the day to day, not the file to file. The file to file is what I think they really want to know. As it stands right now, I have 74 files. ! short of the required quota. To keep my own personal standard, from the rest of today until tomorrow around 6:30pm, I need to complete 26 files, or more. Fortunately I have 7 that might be ready to go right now. I wonder if I perfect my process, I can have 70 in the first 2 days. Let’s not forget, I’m here for 10 hours or more. Usually more. I like the overtime. A lot. Daddy needs a new camera.

The strange thing about that phrase is that it can actually apply to my own father… since he wants a camera for the church. So I don’t think I’ll say it very often. Maybe I’ll get an iMac instead. Or a Chihuahua. I know, no connection whatsoever. Don’t question my logic.
