Short Staffed, that's what she said.

I hate the winter. I hate stupid people getting stupid colds all the time. And the flu. And flu shots. And stupid getting dark early. And the time change on top of that. And the stupid cold. I never used to be a cold person. I was always warm. But since I started in this thyroid medication the worst side effect is that I am cold all the time. I wear a coat all day at work. And gloves. Fingerless gloves so's I can type. Which is strange, because one of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which is what I have, is intolerance to cold. So I should have been cold all the time BEFORE I started the thyroid medication but I wasn't. So I am just the opposite, I fear. As my brother would say, I am a riddle shoved up the ass of a conundrum, vomited out of the mouth of an enigma.

So we are short staffed at work. And my boss is out off this whole week so it falls to me to try to fill all the holes and work out all the kinks. And take the sick calls at 6 in the freakin' morning. And listen to people tell me why they have to stay home when I don't really care, the point is you aren't coming to work, right? Right? So spare me the drama and the sick voice affectation. I don't really care if people don't come to work. In small doses. I just hate winter when everyone is sick AND taking time off for the stupid holidays. Christmas and Thanksgiving are big crocks of crappy excuses to eat a bunch of crap and have stupid office parties and secret santas and take time off work and get sick and stay home because it is cold and wet outside.

I am not supervisor material. Is the gist of it. Of this post. Or maybe I am, I just would never never have hired the people I have to supervise so it is not really fair to have to supervise people I can't fire.

Winter sucks. That being said, it snowed yesterday and the world was briefly very beautiful. Before it started raining again and turned the snow into brown cold mushy dangerous crap. And Jack-Knifed trucks! Don't even get me started on that! Trucks should have to take separate truck routes in the winter. But like I said, don't get me started on that. Man alive. Saints A Poppin'.

Oh, and I am OFFICIALLY going to college beginning 1/9/06. I got my official acceptance letter yesterday. I am so going to kick ass at college. Look at how smart I am! LOOK AT IT! So freakin' smart. You don't even know.

Does anyone know, is Scrubs still on tv? Or was it cancelled? I miss it so much.

And does anyone laugh at the spell check as much as I do? Like they want me to put foreskin instead of freakin'. And change santas to snatch. Dirty spellchecker. I know what you're thinking, "She actually uses spell check? Why does she have so many typos and grammatical errors?" Fuck you. I would have a lot more.

I can't imagine that they would cancel Scrubs (FOX might but probably not NBC). I think it ended because ol' Zach is too big for that now. Then again, maybe it is just on a break, they do that sometimes when the stars are off doing bigger paycheck things.

unforeskinly, I had a temporary supervisor possition once and I too hated it. I wanted to fire about three poeple, but they were all related to the boss I was sitting in for. I hate Nepotism except for in my family. Same with incest.

Oh Zach Braff. I love you. Have you ever read his garden state blog? Justin has it on his livejournal thingy. I see that donald faison is in a movie so maybe it is just on a hiatus. That incest line made me laugh right outloud.
