my new job

a couple months ago i got a new job.  it pays practically nothing (like teaching), but this time, i am paid according to what i do: practically nothing.  i spend most of my time sitting in a chair.  also, i have been at this job for almost 3 months and i haven't had to use my brain once.  it is so nice...the low-paying menial job i have always hoped for.  when a task comes around, which it occasionally does, you better believe i do it carefully and efficiently so i can get right back to facebook.  you know what is great?  when 5:00 rolls around, i GO HOME.  and i DO NOT THINK ABOUT WORK...unless you count "thinking about my attractive co-worker" as "thinking about work."

 i do not.  

yesterday, it was so slow here i did not do ONE SINGLE THING. also, on christmas eve, we played wii.

today i have a cold on my right side.  my right eye and right nostril are running like a faucet and my left side feels pretty darn good and i wish tomorrow was a work day so i could call in sick.  because you know, at my new job, if i feel sick i don't even have to write sub plans and get a substitute!  i just call and say i feel terrible and they say "oh, too bad.  feel better soon!"  and then i lay on my couch all day and watch law and order and don't even have to wonder if my class is behaving or dread returning to a mountain of work to correct.  SICK DAYS ARE THE BEST.  so even though i won't use a sick day THIS time, i'm still crossing crossing my fingers for the flu.
