As of Monday, I venture back into the scary land of the office worker. Yes, I got that job that I have been interviewing for! And it's RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD FROM WHERE I LIVE!!!

OK, who cares if my band is on the rocks, my friendships are in tatters and the closest thing I've had to sex in months is having a neurotic DDB lying in my bed complaining that *he* doesn't get laid.

I have a job! I'll be able to pay my rent, buy food and the occasional CD, and maybe just maybe and it's only a maybe, fund the studio costs for my solo career. Life seems pretty good right now. So be nice to me or something. (posting pictures of random DDB's is optional)

DDB = Dirty Dronerock Boy. It's not clean whether the Dirty is mean to be pronounce Durrty or not.

It is indeed the data entry/recconcilliations job. Yeah, a bit of a backwards step in terms of where my "career" was before I gave it up to become a full-time musician, but hey, these things happen. It's a paycheck. I can make their numbers dance. I'm pretty happy.

But I don't see no pictures of Dirty Dronerock Boys. Come on, someone somewhere has got to have a photos of Hilton Betelguese in his "No, really, I *am* Sun-Ra" robes.

― kate, Monday, 27 January 2003 14:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Welcome to the Dirty Drone Hive-Mind of the World World!!

Would Kate but the Office Bitch? The Office Tattle Tale? The Office Flirt? The Office Jesus Christ? The Office Slut? The Office Careering Type? The Office Boredom Clerk? or the Office Star?

― robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 14:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Yay for Kate!!!!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Kate's function in the office is: The Cranky Person Who Hates Everyone And Bitches Incessantly And Everyone Is Scared Of But No-One Can Actually Fire Because She Does EVERYTHING For Them.

So, erm, yeah. I'm Office Christ. I DIED for your database, so you should feel guilty.

― kate, Monday, 27 January 2003 14:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Congratulations Kate! Hooray hooray O frabjous day and so on!

Also, The Cranky Person &c. is quite obviously the single most valuable member of an office staff so they are lucky to have you :-)

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Kate = girl with snarl on her face sitting outside on a fag break bitching about everyone in the office to the two temps who does not know about 'the cranky witch doing data-entry'....who the office manager brought in too help because 'kate does everything'...

― robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 14:35 (twenty-three years ago)

How about Sun Ra in Sun Ra's robes.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Of course my above-mentioned scenerio happens after the second day Kate's been there....the fear strikes quickly - the happy-go-lucky interview girl slowly takes over the office and all database demands are quickly met.

― robotman, Monday, 27 January 2003 14:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Kate will kick ass, take names and rock on. And this is just at work. :-)

Aaaaaaawwwwww... best post EVAH!!!!

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. Now I've only got a week of freedom left.... argh... everything takes on new importance for me now...

But actually, no, I didn't actually fulfill my monthly goals cause the job doesn't actually start till February. :-(

Now I need new monthly goals... oh what to pick? Get my solo career off the ground? Make Hilton understand that he is the grooviest boy on earth without actually sleeping with him? Seducing Pliny the Soundman? Decisions, decisions...

― kate, Monday, 27 January 2003 23:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and if you ever have a surplus of DDBs around, could you send two or three my way? (I'll take an order of DDGs, too, if you have any in stock.)

― Christine "Green Leafy Dragon" Indigo (cindigo), Tuesday, 28 January 2003 00:10 (twenty-three years ago)

AAAAAAHHHHH!!! I gibber in awe at the dancing numbers! I *LOVE* them!

(It's OK, Felicity, you didn't know.)

besides, I don't *actually* hate her as much as I used to, now that she's not in the band any more, and especially now that the band has started to suck.

Just, quick, someone stick on a DDB to clear my eyeballs out.

Funny, cause I was about to say "Hey, I wore a shirt just like that girl's to the Telescopes show the other night." :-)

Oh my god, speaking of wearing pop star's shirts...

That's my shirt. No, really, seriously, that's *my* shirt. I wish I had a digital camera on me now... shit, where is it? Is it still in my guitar case? I wonder if he ever found out that it's since become my guitar rag, if he would be hideously offended or, being a guitarist, *understand* what a high compliment this is.
