sisabetSo I finished my monthly report and handed it in by the deadline and... I was on target again. I have no idea how I pulled that off.
Cutting for boring work crap. And then I talk about last night's Angel and Smallville
Oh, and I got busted. Well, not busted in a terrible, oh shit, I am so fired way. But busted as in one of my new bosses is actually one of my old bosses from Memphis - so he knows how I work. He also knows that I reduced my pending by 30 in a day and a half so he wants me to reduce it by another 30 by Tuesday.
This is actually not a bad thing. I have been just performing at expectations - and waiting until the last minute to do that for the most part - and probably because I am so bored here that I need that rush I get doing everything at the last minute. But it is killing me and I'm miserable and I'm never gonna dig any deeper than what I need to do to just keep it level unless my hand is forced. So he's forcing it. And if I am a good girl and do as told, then I might get to take a break and review demand packages for two months.
At this point, I am dying to get my hands on an injury claim. It would be like a vacation. Mmmmmmm soft tissue damage. Mmmmmm impingemnet. I miss sitting back and highlighting Physical Therapy Charts. No one ever really pays that much attention to them - least of all the attorneys (attorneys *never* know the file until it gets to court) and sometimes you find out all sorts of things in the notes. Like the time a patient forgot which leg she says was injured in the accident 2 months into treatment and switched them. That was sweet. Cause, I dislike fraud, y'all.
God - I am waxing nostalgic over a job I hated - rememeber - back in June? I hated that job. Just not as much as I hate what I do now.
So, I'm here another 2 hours maybe and then I can go home and dear god I hope Angel and Smallville have finished downloading.
I think that was probably the best episode of Smallville I have ever seen. I had my quibbles - I think the poor-little lonely rich boy thing was a bit overdone - we get it - but dude. That episode was so good it is like a really good show came down and possessed Smallville for 44 minutes. I was on the edge of my seat. I kept waiting for the pacing to flag or something to happen to let me down just a bit and that never happened. I kept expecting it to happen - like the final scene - I was certain Lana was gonna show up - and she didn't!! AND it WAS SO GOOD. And the love. DEAR GOD. The Love. And the Mommy Issues. And the parallel Daddy issues with Lionel basically saying to Lex (after Julian's death) the same thing Bo said to Clark after Martha miscarried. AND I LOVE DUALITY!!!! If this was the show that I watched, consistently, week to week -- I'd be head over heels in love. IMO - Last night was the first time Smallville really lived up to its potential.
Speaking of head over heels and potential and all that - I dig Illyria and I LOVE Gunn and Wes is killing me. He really is. It hurts to watch him. I'm also getting a kick out of Joss. He has always wanted Wes with Fred and I picture him sitting at home reading boards going "Wes and Fred have no chemistry?? Okay - well - how about we kill Fred and then in her body we create this hot anime like god who is not only totally amoral, but beyond morals. Then we will make Wes insane and see what happens. I bet that works." To which I must say - damn. He's good.
I was so freaked about the ending scene last night that I begged Lum to spoil me. Then I told her not too. Then I begged her to spoil me. Then I told her not to. In the end she gave me a little hint and I figured out something bigger and realized I don't want to know, so I backed off. Cause I don't want to know. Do I?

Cause I don't want to know. Do I?
Probably not. I kinda wish I didn't. Nothing any of us can do to change it (assuming we'd want to), and yet, the drive to know, it calls us, precious, it calls to us. *g*
And, dude, Smallville? Squeeee!!!!!!!

Date: 2004-04-29 03:57 pm (UTC)I don't know what it is you'd find out, but I'm sure I'm happier not knowing. The more unspoiled I am, the more I enjoy the episodes. Fight the impulse!
And guess what I did at work today? There was a tour group coming through, and a stupid anniversary celebration with free popcorn and slurpies, and an even stupider argument about which employees were to get the tacky blue folders that were being given out as part of the celebration and which were to get the tacky purple ones.
I blew the whole thing off, went to the mall for lunch, and browsed through dirty books at Barnes and Noble. Then I came back and waved a small bag of office supplies and apologized because my errand took so long.
Strangely, I feel no guilt.

Date: 2004-04-30 09:16 am (UTC)I know exactly what you mean about the last part. I'm pretty much unspoiled for the rest of the season. Except for who's on next week's Angel. But otherwise, I know nothing. And I want it to stay that way. I spoiled myself with the ending of Buffy, and I don't want to make the same mistake twice. If all of us who don't want to be spoiled stand together, I'm sure we can survive the next 3 weeks.
