People Are Dumb
Ah... I hate Mondays....

It starts off with the receptionist/guard guy working at the desk in the lobby, similar to my first day here—except it's a different guy. Anyway, it's 8:45 am. I walk in and head to the elevator. They guy says "Building opens at 9:00". I say, "Yeah, OK." and I keep walking. He keeps saying it to me, and I keep saying that to him. Then he goes, "You know something I don't?" "I work here." "Oh, well why didn't you just say that instead of being a smart guy? I don't have x-ray vision... I can't read minds." Bla bla bla. Oh yeah, and as I'm getting on the elevator: "Have a nice day." "Yeah, you too." Idiot.

Then I wait 10 minutes for Jaime to get here, since the door's locked. "I had to take my kids to camp." OK, I'm gonna need a key.

I finish up the water contamination fliers... It's about 11:15 am. A guy from that Water Department comes in right after to look at them. He notices that the "Date Distributed" is not printed. On 8,000 fliers. Needless to say, I noticed this before we even began printing, but since we hadn't printed the actual fliers ourselves, there wasn't much we could do about it—and technically, we weren't supposed to.

So, we're all standing around trying to figure out what to do. We have 8,000 fliers all ready to be sent out, without distribution dates. By state order (or some I'm told), they've had 30 days to print and send these—and they're supposed to be distributed by Wednesday. Not on Wednesday. By Wednesday. Even if we had to reprint them all (which I'm not doing), they wouldn't be ready to be mailed by Wednesday. So we're waiting on word from Health Department. Or something.

So anyway... I hate Mondays....

Time Now: 11:37 AM
