To start, when I left work today there was no news about R's husband. I've asked K to text me if we hear something, but there's no news yet.
After being a good human yesterday, I feel the need to let out all the pent up snarkiness. To begin, BCFG now has a new sign to go with the "rebranding." The new sign uses all lower case letters--lower case letters must be "younger." The sign is also all silver and shiny. I must admit that it does look good, as far as signs go, but did not require quite as much excitement in the office as everyone gave it yesterday. Will also seems to be counting down the days until we get our new business cards with the lower case letters. They also have rounded corners. I've heard a lot about them.
Speaking of Will; he and his wife are expecting a baby and last night they found out that they were having a girl. This is a good thing, since the boy name that they had picked out was straight from MTV's "Teen Mom 2." Why would you name your child the same thing as a total train wreck's child? (Maybe Will didn't have as much time to watch "Teen Mom 2" as I did, since he was gainfully employed.)
The Godfather was in the office a long time (for him at least) yesterday. He spent much of this time in his office with the door closed screeching on the phone in Italian. Italian people seem to feel the need to talk extra loud when they speak in their native language. I notice that with all of the Husband's family too. Anyway, The Godfather was screeching away and you could hear it all through the office--down the hall to my triangle and even around the corner to Will and The Big Cheese's Office. Mole's office is right next to The Godfather, and he had a client* in his office. Will and I were thinking that the client probably had to be pretty scared with all the Italian screeching. By the way, I use the word screeching because The Godfather's voice gets higher in Italian--kind of girly.
I'm upset with Mole today. A big part of my job is putting together the review booklets that the Relationship Managers take out with them and these books take a long time to put together, especially if you are me and still kind of learning. Mole scheduled two meetings for Thursday and told me about it at the end of the day on Monday, so I really only had 2 days to put the booklets together. Of course, the comb binding machine broke, so I can't put the booklets together in the office, they have to be taken to Kinkos. Also the investments that were built into our system were wrong for one of the reviews, but Mole didn't notice/tell me about it until I basically had everything done for that review, so I had to start ALL OVER. It was after 12:00 before he told me that they were wrong and I leave at 2:00, so I didn't get to eat lunch today** because I was scrambling to finish. As it is, the review isn't done. I'm coming in early in the morning to finish it and then take it to be bound. Mole better do something nice for me to make up for this. I think that there should be some rule where you buy your assistant flowers every time you screw up. Or maybe giving them cash would be better. (If that were the case, The Man would owe me a lot of money.)
One nice thing (completely off the subject of triangles), as I've been writing this I've been listening to Sweet Pea read her new "Pinkalicious" books out loud. That's one of those things that makes you feel some success as a parent.
And one last things...because I am weird, one of my new favorite things is warm copies from the printer at work. They remind me of warm towels from the dryer.
*I wonder if he calls people "clients" or if they are "cases" too. I really need to get over that.
**I made up for that by eating chocolate cake when I got home.
I also got a big kick out of this today: http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2011/04/12/that-will-be-a-rough-day-for-you/
