Paperclips and Psychiatrists

I went to see the psychiatrist today and had a good talk. He is adjusting some of my medications and also gave me something new to help me sleep (since the old stuff wasn't working any more). I feel like if I could have a few nights of really good sleep it would be sort of like pressing the "reset" button in my brain and I would feel a lot better. He also ordered some bloodwork. In addition to my usual liver check, he ordered bloodwork to check for about a zillion different things. There is always a chance that the way I feel could be caused by something pysical that would be pretty easy to treat. I'm not holding my breath on that one, but I recognize that it is good to check.

Now to something more fun...PAPERCLIPS!

My new office is obsessed with paperclips. Personally, I am a Post-Its kind of girl. On my first day Mr. X gave me two pieces of advice:

1. Never go into The Big Cheese's office without a note pad.
2. Always paperclip my documents in the upper left corner of the page--do not paperclip the side of the page and do not staple things.

These people have serious issues with the stapler. I am suprised that I'm allowed to have one on my desk. I'm guessing that it is for personal use only, since I'm not allowed to staple offical things. When you work on a document, you are supposed to write a note about it (using the note pad that you would take into The Big Cheese's office) and then paperclip that note to the document, in the upper left corner of the page. This goes on with people adding their notes until the document is finished and is then scanned and discarded. (The Big Cheese's Financial Group is truly paperless--I hope that they have a good backup system for their server or we will all be screwed.) I like Post-Its. I have gotten used to the "don't staple anything" rule, but instead of clipping my notes onto the document, I write them on a Post-It and stick them to the front. I'm a rebel like that. The paper clips are not the traditional sliver. Instead they are shiny gold. They seem to superior to the silver veriety.

On another note...My photo has been added to the company website. They failed to use the same background when they took my picture and my head looks bigger than everyone elses. (I think my head was closer to the camera.) I am displeased, although I didn't want my picture on the website at all, so I think I would have been displeased with anything.

And, in case you were wondering, Guy is starting to get a giant scab on his oozing leg wound. He is hoping that it will be fully scabbed over by Thursday so he can play in a basketball tournament and, given his track record, probably get hurt again.

Tomorrow I have to use the comb binding machine, which has become my arch nemesis...
