I Flunked Kindergarten!

Ok, this is starting to resemble Ripley's Believe It or Not..... One of my co-workers just now passed by my desk and informed me that I am putting the numbers on the wrong way on the pages!! ACHHHHHHHH!! Evidently, I'm supposed to be putting them on vertically instead of horizontally! So now I have to peel them all off and put them back on the other way! Tell me this is not happening. Tell me I am on Allen Funt's Candid Camera. Tell me I am being Punk'd. Tell me I am really in Aruba. Tell me I am only having a nightmare!

The only thing horizontal is going to be ME from collapsing from CutandPaste-iosis and the noxious fumes of the glue! Can you get Carpal Tunnel from scissoring too much??? Can I claim workers' comp for excessive Glue-tosis??

As I sit here trying to come to terms with this inane project and fighting off a glue-induced migraine, my boss is in his office across the hall cackling away, laughing like a hyena on the telephone. He has such a loud, annoying laugh that it echos all the way down the hall like some god-awful disembodied mummy in a tomb! Then on the other side of my partition, my co-worker is yakking on the phone a mile a minute in Filippino. I guess she figures that if it's in a different language, it isn't wasting time on the phone. Yet the other day when I called my own home number to pick up my messages, she sort of 'reprimanded' me that 'we' shouldn't make outgoing calls!! HELLO?? Can we say HELLO? in Filippino???

That's it! I'm going to lunch, since this whole place is out to lunch anyway!

VERTICAL???????? VERTICAL???? Vertical....that's up and down....horizonal ("horizon") is the NORMAL procedure of numbering a page....AND, AND.... Pardon me, doesn't that mean the reader needs to turn the booklet to see what page they're on?? Oh, Oh, and is that a RIGHT-hand vertical turn, or a LEFT-handed vertical turn....Is that on the OUTER EDGE of the page, or what???? Please confirm this idiotic institution is PRIVATE and not wasteful governmantal enity. You need a mantra: I forget the singer's name, but the song was "I WILL SURVIVE"....Hum that ditty at least 5,000 x's a day .... Karen, why is that Filipino co-worker LISTENING to YOUR phone calls~~~~~instead of doing her OWN work????
