Spring Fever

It's been a long day.

A mantra is repeating in my head:

I hate this job
I hate this job
I hate this stupid ass motherfuckin' job

I don't really. I mean, I'm not trying to make a career out of life at the cubicle farm but for now it pays the bills and it will pay for school .

It's just that today the gripes are especially loud, the questions are particularly dumb, and the clear and sunny skies outside are calling my name. The guy two cubes over never covers his mouth when he sneezes and never excuses himself when he burps. The women behind me always stares at me when I stand up to talk to other people, as if I'm talking to her. I would talk to her if she ever had any thing interesting to say. Instead she drones on about her cat and her various body aches. The girl who sits by the bathroom says "Hi, how are you?" every time she sees me--even though I've already seen her 5 times today. The woman on my phone is going on and on about the injustices put upon her by our company. My manager just got back from the Bahamas and she did the whole "look I'm almost darker than you" thing. Next thing you know she'll want to touch my hair. Bitch.

I hate this job.

WTF is up with the random greetings throughout the day? In my office there must be about a dozen people that I never work with, never talk to ... but invariably I pass them in the hall and one of us starts the following conversation:

"Hi, how are you doing?"
"Good, you?"
"Good, thanks."

It's all we ever say to each other. I don't do anything with these people throughout the day, and I don't really know them, so why do I want to know how they are doing?

I don't. But I say it anyway. Why? Why do we bother?

BTW, seeing The Aristocrats was about the funniest 90 minutes I spent last year. I tried to share the sick joy with people I worked with, and even my friends didn't seem to really get it.

Oh well, their loss, right? :)
