You realize you don't. Well, I've been thinking of staying with my job for the five years so I can get my pension when I'm old and gray (a check coming in each month no matter how small is very nice indeed). My stats have been pretty good recently, getting along great with my coworkers and I'm beginning to tolerate my job. However, that all changed this afternoon, reminding me once more I need to leave and find something I REALLY love to do. You see...for the last few months, we have been trying to get the signature card filing cabinet straightened up and every time I think I'm getting ahead I fall behind. It's really no one else's fault but my own...I kept procrastinating because a) I didn't manage my time, b) I don't like my job, and c) there are just too dang many of those darn cards. Everything has to be checked in triplicate and I'm not the one making the mistakes (most of the time). At any rate, my manager blew a gasket when she saw the unfinished stacks which really weren't that bad because they just needed a second person to check them off. She ranted and raved about lying to her (it was just miscommunication because her idea of "done" was different than mine) as well as putting me out on the street and finding someone to replace me. It was harsh and unnecessary...however, I would have taken the writeup without a word of protest because it should have been done. Her attitude should have been better but it should have been done. Therefore, I think it's a sign I need to start making my plans to leave.
Well, there have been some interesting developments since Day Six of 24 has debuted...and one of those developments is a more definite time frame of when the Logans will return. In fact, according to this news article it could be as early as Hour Ten which makes it around the end of February. Now I have something to look forward to again. I'm not liking the idea of his fall from grace...one of my favorite things that had me enthralled with the man was the power he wielded. Now he's anything but powerful. However! I was watching a biography of Nixon and I swear the writers modeled Charles after him because the guy was one way with one person and another way with someone else. He was a loner, a political genius, a hard worker, and devoted to his wife...sound familiar? When he fell from grace, he would give reporters a few minutes of his time in exchange for insider scoop about things in DC. Most importantly, he was an avid conspiracy theorist. I swear if he was still alive he would love 24 because that's why I love this show...all the backstabbing, double crossing, and don't forget the admitting of feelings at the oddest times because of the pressure. Anyways, let's get back to the article. I posted it below :D

Anyone have any aspirin? I'd give anything for some aspirin...how about some plutonium or nerve gas in return?
