Un-office.

Day 33 of my freedom and here is an excellent example of my typical day, post-Costa Rica bliss, post-corporate life, in my favorite format (aka: list compilation):

* List of things I did not do today:

• Open an Outlook Inbox with 35+ unread emails, all the while wondering how long my stupid freakin' Dell will let me work undisturbed by Malware pop-ups and Unused Desktop Icon alerts before I have to shut down the whole system and call [useless] IT man.
  
• Sit in traffic on northbound I-35, thinking the Jetsons had it right. Especially with the whole fold-up-your-flying-car-into-a-suitcase thing (oh, and the robot-maid was a good call, too)...no traffic *and* no parking issues. Genius.
  
• Drag myself to 6:00 am spin class, so I can get in a work-out before the office at 8:00, cursing myself for again forgetting that 24 Hour Fitness has no actual body wash in the little shower soap dispensers and let's hope I don't get foot fungus because while I did manage to pack my Hair Pro 500, my frackin' flip-flops are in the car.
  
• Guiltily leave behind my dog for a ten hour day, then spend the rest of said day concoting in the back of my mind all sorts of destructive images of how my sweet golden girl has avenged her loneliness by either destroying a pair of shoes, or swallowing a large, unidentifiable object resulting in a frightful pile of vomit for mommy to clean up when she [finally] comes home.
  
• Deal with clients -maybe unhappy- always demanding. 'nough said.
  
• Try to assuage the childlike temper tantrums of a certain Director of Operations, marveling at how one can arrive at the age of 35 and still be such a daft, unbearable assclown.
  

*List of things I did do today:

• Opened an Entourage Inbox with a handful of unread emails, all regarding assistantships
  
• Step over a fuzzy-faced doggy pile on the way downstairs (that's my kinda' gridlock)
• Made an afternoon bikini wax appointment
• Solidified lunch plans
• Put on pants...but then thought better of it. Why wear pants when you work from home?
• Read the remainder of 1968 in America: Music, Politics, Chaos, Counterculture and the Shaping of a Generation for my History class
• Perfectly formatted my email signature in Entourage. Why hadn't I done this before?? Decided on bang-up combination of century gothic in maroon and dakota handwriting in teal, bolded for added contrast. Shazam!
  

In the meantime, I also did not make any money but miraculously feel unbothered by this point...must be the new e-mail signature.
