I get it now.

I've seen Office Space a number of times now, and I've tuned into The Office on occasion. I enjoyed them and found them funny but I didn't find myself saying, "That is so my life at work!" Well, that has changed. I've been temping at giant pharmaceutical company for the past two weeks doing data entry. (Yawn) I understand it now. I appreciate that movie and TV show sooooooo much more now.

Most of the people I work with are great...but there are the few...I want to cry and scream at their stupidity and inane reasoning, but, really would it do any good? Wow, I wish I could get paid and get medical benefits for sitting around on my ass all day and gossiping with the girls about everything and anything under the sun. Friday I listened to them wax poetic about Britney Spears and how much so and so is spending on her wedding. Thursday it was something really abominable misconception about theatre (had to block it out) and how much so and so spent on her wedding. Wednesday it was about baby stuff and kids and how to raise them (yes because 20 year old mothers know soooooooooo much!) and how much so and so spent on her wedding. See a theme here.

I know it is a horrible thing to say, but it has done wonders for my intellectual ego. I don't feel nearly as stupid as I did when I decided to take a break from school. I can hang out and do this stuff for a couple more months, but....DAMN, I can't wait to go back to grad school! I get it! I totally understand why Milton wanted to keep his red stapler!
