I just had to do my least favorite thing in the whole world. Call people on the phone. Is it weird that I am essentially a secretary ...prolly. I had to call 6 High School children and tell them they just got 2000 dollars. Should be fun right? Nope. They were not as excited as I would have expected. I think 2 grand is a lot of money. Maybe someday they will too. They all seemed reluctant to come to our induction ceremony. They get recogniziton, to be on TV, and a free dinner for them and two family members. all in all not a bad deal... but no. I had to talk to a mother. I just gave your kid money! why are you a bitch! I didn't want to talk to you anyway you didn't win anything! I hope someday soon I can go back to having a job where I don't have to talk to customers or donors or patrons. I would be a much happier girl writing little tiny numbers on things than explaining to someone for the 15'000th time that no we don't sell baseball cards.... we are a museum. Okokok.. I think im done.
Not that I am taking my job for granted. Lots of people would be jealous of my job. I get paid 12 dollars an hour to surf the web. Currently I am at work writing this. Here is a rundown of things I have done today. 8-930 did some work for Joe (my boyfriend not my boss). 9:30-12 read all my comics, the news, the eagle, the Oregonian. 12-1 lunch .. I watch the cobert report during lunch. 1- 2 I called the high school kids. Now I have til 4 to waste. Definitely more news on the horizon for me. It's not like I am the only one that does this.. If I turn around I can see one of my bosses playing tetras. Ahh nonprofit jobs.
It's times like this where I dream of getting a new job. or perhaps winning the lottery. even my old job would be better. At least there were people I could talk to and there was a mission.
Maybe Paul Allen will call me soon and offer me that job.
