I would say that I have pretty much done nothing at work for about a week now. I sit here and look at Inforoo and wish it would hurry up and be here. I am practically useless.
It's a half-day for me AND my tickets are being shipped to the office. Talk about not working!! I've just been listening for the mailroom guy to come down the hall for the past 2 1/2 hours.
On the subject of Bonnaroo at work... Yesterday I had a customer come in who turned out to be a vendor at Bonnaroo! Her family runs a coffe shop in Centeroo, and she was telling me tons of crazy stories over the 5 times she's gone! My co-workers were super annoied because I talk about Bonnaroo WAY too much as it is! Anyway it was an awesome 1/2 hour of Bonnaroo talk at work!!
I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.

I work at a doctor's office and I am in the basement all by myself and my computers. I live on Inforoo. I am doing the bare minimum work until Bonnaroo. I've only had 6 patients all day, which equates to about 2 hours of work. I love my job.

work = yuck. i planned to stay home all day to sign for tickets and then like an idiot i scheduled a client for noon today. dumb!
i was so paranoid that UPS would come and not let my husband sign for me, sine the email said it had to be the person on the order. (we have diff last names so i even told him to use his first name with MY last name to make it easier to convince the UPS guy)
turns out hey didn't come so hooray. i was here when the truck pulled up, ran out like a big dork all giggling and clapping. dude thought i was off my rocker i think.
i don't have any work scheduled for between now and roo but i hope i schedule some. money is nice.

came home today and saw the envelope with my ticket on my doorstep so excited, I lost my mind.
Work...bleh. 4 more days of it before I leave. I'm so impatient.
But I'm stoked...my pay check is usually around 350, but they just changed the way in which they compensate drivers for miles (I'm a pizza delivery dude) and so my check was 670 today. I lost my brain. So much roo cash.
My coworkers would be so pissed if they knew how much time I wasted on Inforoo or shopping online for stuff to bring to Bonnaroo. They're already annoyed that it's the only thing I talk to them about (other than work). When I hung the poster up on my door last week, it sent one of them over the edge.
what really sucks is I'm not telling people I work with where I'm going for vacation.....cause they might use that as an escuse to pop a "random" drug screen on me...and I don't want to risk it....So I talk Broo at work less I'll be found out!!!
i have used the terms 'out of state vacation' and 'camping trip' around work and that seems to work. i wish that i was not looking at six more days of work before roo and a forced schedule change when i get back.

as much as i bitch about where i work i can tell my supervisors every detail of what happens at roo and not worry. shit like that is pretty much the only reason i still work there. i can also tell them to literally fuck off and not get in trouble. oh unions.

thats the iffy thing about work associations, you never know who may have it out for you, but if you're union... Luckily my immediate boss, and there is a long string of them, went to the great went, lemon wheel, not coventry though... so he's been asking questions daily about how jacked i am. i invited him to this and to alpine but he says his life of fun is over since he has kids now, sad he thinks that way, but there it is.
Yeah...I usually just give some vague answer like going camping in TN...if they ask....my current supervisor is a dumble dork...that's what I call him...he doesn't even ask....but several of my coworkers and clients have asked...and there's only a couple coworkers I trust and have told, every body else...gets a very vague, non descript answer...which is so hard cause I'm STOKED!!! and would love to sit and talk about the Roo for hours.....
Especially in this day and age and economy...I think some places are just looking for reasons to get rid of people then freeze/eliminate that position....
