Predictable...
It doesn't faze me anymore (well maybe just a little). I am no longer surprized, stunned, or shocked. My work, more specifically the CEO of the company I work for, is predictable. Last night I told Fiona that I will shoot to leave work early and try to make it home for lunch. The thing was I put a disclaimer on that saying that I may not make it home, forseeing that my boss, who hasn't been around that often, is probably going to pop in and have a project for me to do. Typically they tend to be some huge-sameday-deadline-rack-your-brain- shoot-myself jobs. Anyways I took my chance this morning and didn't bring my lunch and of course a half an hour ago my boss comes in! So much for leaving early, especially on a Friday (always on a Friday or weekend, never in the beginning of the work week). This projects involves creating a medical data DVD on a particular patient of ours, who will remain nameless, but has featured us on her world renown talk show five years ago. Apparently a few weeks ago, her people contacted us needing her data and now my boss wants to create a dog-and-pony show data disc. Oiy! Time to get back to work....
UPDATE: So it's 4:00pm and I am still freaking here are work waiting for the dang DVD to burn the first version (for review). Sooooo slow! I have to figure out how to record audio narration but that will have to come another day. *smack*
UP-UPDATE: Closing on 5:00pm and this dang DVD is still burning. It has froze a few times since..... sigh. I'm hungry.

Did you not see Office Space? You're supposed to avoid him at all costs on Fridays!
It's funny that you should bring that up. Initially I was not aware of this project. One day my IT director left a message on my voice mail and I kid you not, he sounded like Lumbergh. "Yeah....um...Don...I'm gonna need you to come in either today or maybe next Saturday....um...." I was just busting up. I should have saved that voice mail. It was hilarious. He had the voice and all. As it turns out when I came in to do whatever the IT director wanted me to do, I was ambushed by my CEO and that's when he assigned me to this other project.
