Stage a coup!
A nice quiet day of tech support. Although one person had extreme difficulty identifying an ethernet cable and then plugging one in to a laptop.
Well that is an image I'm going to hold in my heart.
Mhm.
I got away with it for 2 weeks
Maybe I should!
Ohh dear, that kind of customer. Though I bet they are usually grateful when you fix their problem so easily!

For BMW? Yeah you should. A suit and a tie.
Maybe a top hat and a monocle.
Sometimes. It prevents the constant emails, phone calls and visits from interrupting stuff.

What spring does with the cherry trees.
These spreadsheets to calculate my damage on WoW won't complete themselves with work bothering me.
I was all "how does wearing two monocles help his paperwork??".
Obvious.
never in my life did I get less done

Do you ever have to ask people in security lines to remove their jackets?
It's actually really important that you bring your silver gun because it breaks up the black of your suit, nobody will even notice if you bring your black gun
maybe i should go ask my bmw dealership if they have an opening like that

Interns get paid?
Not in My America
The shopper loved me again as well.
This is GREAT for my ego (I've scored higher than anyone else in the region!) but does me no tangible good because I don't technically work for the store.
Still, feels pretty good to be validated.
I am having a mental breakdown.

I don't know why you'd even bother with the second step.
@Liiya the appropriate response is to return a politely worded text indicating you have no information regarding that wedding as she (your boss) took the entire portfolio two months ago.
followed by "sux 2 b u"
If she's the boss, let her go down with the ship.
Or mutiny and throw her off the ship into shark infested waters. Whatever you do, don't leave her on an island where rum smugglers store their stuff. She'll get off and go on adventures with Legolas and the chick from Bend It Like Beckham.

I went with the target audience, which in this case I made the call that Liiya didn't see Domino, nobody under 40 saw Pride and Prejudice, and that nobody at all saw that horrid King Arthur movie. Besides that, the only films are what...the Pirate movies I was lampooning.
I'm sticking with Bend It Like Beckham.

My history professor was so mad about the King Arthur movie.
They asked him to come in and film some of the Behind the Scenes info about King Arthur and he tore a part a lot of the crap they did.
So they cut him out, took the parts they liked about what he said, and had Kiera Knightley and the other cast mates say it to make them sound more like scholars.
CS interns get paid better than many full time employees in other fields. When I interned at Yahoo! I was making $28/hr. The lesson here is, be a programmer, don't be a not programmer.
I do let her go down with the ship with most things, I really do. And I would love to send that text back. But this is a wedding and this is an individual's big day. I think its sorted now...? I dunno. Doing my head in.
Today a lady came in and said "The other lady you work with, is she in? No? Oh, she did some funeral flowers last week for my dad, they were lovely and got lots of compliments" "Oh, that late so and so? White lilies and purple lisianthus? I did that" "You did? Oh well they were lovely, thank you!"
Why so surprised lady, why so surprised? Not letting my boss take the credit for my work.
This is pretty much my ideal role, I'm just so excited about it.
Edit: excited because of the work I'd be doing I should point out, from what he was saying I'd be working on some really interesting stuff. The fact I could work in my underwear is just a bonus.
