So I'm temping at this trendy shoe company right now to make some extra cash before school starts. I've been assigned to help out dear old Dorothy with online orders that have gone awry.

It's funny how doing something so mundane can be made a little more meaningful when you like the person you're doing it for. Apparently, something has gone wrong with one of their programs and I've been hired to do Dorothy’s job temporarily. She's really stressed but still super sweet so I enjoy the work more cuz I'm helping her out.

So I'm copying and pasting letters to customers. Now that I've got the system kind of down it's getting repetitive. Thus I'm doing what Joyce always does when things get repetitive-quietly almost subconsciously entertain myself.

I've had some great fodder for this. Poor Mr. Wigglesworth-I had a fun time as I was preparing his email. Wouldn't it have been funny if I had sent out his email, "Dear Wiggles"? hehe Betcha he's never heard that before. Then there was Ms. Toppings...she got some toppings with her email. haha Oh man...this is pathetic but still entertaining...

Oh now don't fret....I'm not really writing that stuff just wishing I could for a good laugh.

Man, I can't believe these new advertising methods. I took a comment down from my site that said,"If you're lonely, go to...blah blah blah" and they linked their stupid "singles" website! argh!

Anyway, so you took up temping after all! I'm glad that worked out for you, and so fast too!:)

i know!!! That's the first time it's happened to me...I just haven't bothered to take it down yet. It should be against the law or something.

hi Joyce, thanks for letting me know about your goodbye outing! I'm so bummed i can't make it (going to Vegas with some buddies). You had asked for my email addr: allen_j_lee@yahoo.com

I'm almost afraid to post here that I'll somehow get linked to those comments ads. =)

I'll call you tomorrow.

Am I the only one who couldn't understand how you'd be substitute teaching at a shoe company? Guess I've watched 'School of Rock' too many times...
