Single in Stilettos

MIA

Yes, MIA. I apologize for my absence. I haven't gone anywhere or done anything exciting. I was just missing from here. Not my job. Heavens no!

Yes, so I've been promoted, thus I've been swamped! That's my only excuse. You know, its tough working two jobs. I'm still working my old job until someone is hired to replace me, plus my new much more demanding job. Thus I'm writing on my lunch break (I normally post during work hours because I'm SO bored... not so now.)

With my new job came a new desk. A cubicle actually. Funny thing about cubicles. You can hear what other people are saying. Example: I typed out a letter for a guy in the office yesterday (he's in the cube next to mine), and gave it back to him so he could get signatures. So, I come in today, as I'm booting up my computer I hear, "She really screwed this up" from the guy's supervisor. Then I hear, "Well, if she wanted to make it official, she screwed up." Then I hear my name said to another woman in the office and she laughs. Then I hear my boss say something with my name involved. And NO, I'm not just being paranoid. So, the next time my cubicle neighbor comes around the corner I ask him what I screwed up on... he acts as though he didn't know what I was talking about.

Him: "What makes you think you screwed something up?"
Me: "Oh, probably when your supervisor said 'She really screwed this up.'"

Yeah, so he shows me the letter. The mistakes on the letter ARE NOT my fault. Why didn't he say that? The screw ups were in original letter... the one he just asked me to type up. Yeah, NOT MY FAULT! Of course, he didn't tell that to his supervisor, so now I just look like a moron. Typical.

Sorry for the rant. Now I'm just really paranoid that I'm doing things wrong.

To continue with my singleness theme I've decided I'm tired of guys (don't go thinking dirty, I'm not switching to girls!). Guys suck. I haven't been asked out in months. I haven't been on a decent date in what feels like FOREVER! But I'm beyond the point of caring now. I guess I'll just be celibate forever. oh well.

Why are people always quiet in elevators? Why is it I can be carrying on a perfectly interesting conversation but as soon as we get on the elevator it comes to a screeching halt? What is it about elevators that makes everyone shut up? And why do we never talk to the people in an elevator? Is it really that weird to talk to people that you share a building with? I want to talk to people in elevators but I'm afraid its part of a code that I'm not yet aware of. I mean, is there really a rule that says everyone is to be silent on an elevator and either stare at the floor or watch the floor numbers change? Just a thought.
