Am I the only one?

I watch a fair bit of TV.  But don't have very many shows that I "follow".  That is, there's really only one or two that I make an effort to see when a new episode is coming on. 

I also watch alot of movies.

so my questions is, am I the only one who takes quotes/lines from tv or movies to heart and apply them to my life?

A couple of examples....
"Rule #9, always carry a knife."  I don't always follow this, but I try.  And I quote it all the time.

or my new favorite... it's a tad longer...

"Decide to be fine 'til the end of the week. Make yourself smile because you're alive and that's your job. And do it again the next week. Do it right. With a smile. Or don't do it."

And that, sums up how I've been getting through work lately...

Life at work, satellite edition

I'm at work today, but at our new branch.

And I keep laughing... cause all I ever hear from the manager here is how busy it is here.
I've been answering the phones all by myself, with zero problem... never had more than one phone call at a time.
The guys are out in the shop, working... doing their thing.  I keep wandering out, cause I'm bored.  Part of that is that I can't access 99% of my files from here.  All of my paperwork is at the other office.... all of the things that keep me busy all day are at the other office.
So I'm here... blogging for the fun of it.
Beats spending the day at the other office where I'd have to deal with people who piss me off just by breathing.

Life at work

for the past.... month or so, work has been... hellacious, to say the least.
I've repeatedly asked for a job description, to no avail.
I've asked for clarification on several issues here and all I get are vague, we'll figure it outs....
None of which is new... it's pretty much the party line around here.
Balanced against all that bullshit, is the freedom I have here.
I know how to do more than damn near everyone, if not everyone in fact.
I've spent the last couple of days pointing out to my boss, the owner, all manner of things he just doesn't know how or what to do.

I'm not sure the scales still balance...

Pretty

I was on the phone with my sister the other day.
We were talking about our respective jobs. 
How, in general, the physical places are dreary.
And how we sort of insist on things being "pretty"
She's going on about making some manual pretty, in the Martha Stewart sense.
I'm looking at this photo on my screen.

I think I like this pretty better than the Martha Stewart version.  (Although, I don't think I'd use it for a manual)
