high times...

that first paragraph? uh huh...check! it's like i'm high. stoned. i should enjoy this, right? well, being high at work is pretty gosh darn frustrating. nobody wants to be the intern that stands in front of the fax machine like an idiot because she can't remember what she's doing there... eh, at least these people are all very nice and understanding.

my shift on the intake phones is tomorrow. that should be a barrel o' monkeys. i'm operating in serious slow motion mode these days. i really hope i adjust to this stuff soon.
