Cool Picks! I like that girl by the name of "Helen Rocks"!

It's one way to feel better and cooler, right?

I have spent all freaking day wrestling with the online clerkship application system. Damn thing is soooooooo slow, and since tomorrow's the deadline it's now even slower. I mean, I'm glad I have something good to add to my resume/cover letters, but seriously this has eaten up all my damn time. You can only upload 25 cover letters at a time, then you have to attach them and delete them and upload the next batch. It takes some 20 minutes to delete them, though. And generally it times out and you have to wait until you can get through to log in again. HATING this.

I can't believe I was camping this weekend. With the exception of the company, it totally sucked!

I was going to kvetch about my weekend and how onerous it was and how I hated every moment and how I was up until 2:30 am this morning wrestling with the online application system....

But now I don't care.

Can't a girl pick on misspelled slang now and then? OK, I'm a pedant, I know...

Is it time for another 3-day weekend yet?

Morrigoon · 09-05-2007, 02:14 PM

If it isn't, it should be.

Why do 4 day weeks seem a million times longer than 5 day weeks?

because its still 5 days worth of work. its just all crammed into a 4 days now therefore increasing the overall "ugh...work sux" factor in each remainder day. now, a general increase in the 'ugh' factor of any particular day creates a geometric increase in the overall 'ugh' density each following day contains, thereby increasing the 'ugh' factor 2x the first day, 4x the next etc etc

this doesnt even address the same effect multiplied by the coworker variable. each of which adds their own increased 'twit' effect to the overall 'ugh' increase when they in fact try to shed those free radical 'ugh's to you, thus further increasing your discomfort.

basically it comes down to 'no good day goes unpunished'

makes perfect nonsense, doesnt it?

(wow..I need more caffine)
