She’s Baaaack…

Posted on June 26, 2010 by Jaycee

No one is telling me anything, but I’m sure Attitude is back. She’s probably hiding, plotting more mischief to make my life miserable.

I should have known. New hot and smart chick like Meg walks up to me in a bar, flirts with me, ends up in my bed in record time, has a high sex drive and can’t get her hands off of me… You’d think I would have picked up on the fact that this MUST be some trick from Attitude, right? Well, I never pretented to be the smartest cookie in the jar. Continue reading “She’s Baaaack…”

Adventures in Last Week

I’ve been unusually quiet last week and feel I owe you all an apology. I hope the summary below will explain why I’ve been out of touch. Continue reading “Adventures in Last Week”

Okay, here’s a small recap of what’s been happening lately (this is for those of you just joining us): Continue reading “General Update About Everyone”

No Signs of Attitude

Posted on May 27, 2010 by Jaycee

Hey all.

Only a short update today — I was hoping to talk to “Attitude” about what happened yesterday with Miss Reiss (or, more specifically, what DIDN’T happen), but there was no sign of her in my flat. I’m guessing she’s out on some party or something. She sometimes disappears days at a time, and really, I’m not going to complain. Continue reading “No Signs of Attitude”

Miss Reiss and the Cursed Handshake

Posted on May 26, 2010 by Jaycee

Monday was Ms Reiss’s first official day as my boss. My initial reaction was to stay away from her as much as I could, and all day I did my best to keep her at bay. She asked to meet me in the afternoon so we’d have a chance to get to know each other. I stayed on the other side of her desk, and when I shook her hand, it was with my arm outstretched, my left side as far away from her as I could make it. Honestly, I can’t remember much of what she said. I think she wanted to make sure I was “on board with the change,” and she exposed me to her strategy to bring our department into the new age of modern communications. She didn’t come out and say it, but she seems to believe Craig had a very old-school approach to web-based media. I don’t entirely disagree with her, to be fair, but I still feel like I owe Craig — especially after that last crotch-grabbing incident. Continue reading “Miss Reiss and the Cursed Handshake”

The New Boss of Me

Posted on May 19, 2010 by Jaycee

I didn’t get a chance to write anything yesterday. It was a bit hectic at the office, with my boss Craig announcing his departure to other employees and introducing Morgan Reiss to all the staff.

When he said “veteran” of the business and mentioned she had something like a gadzillion years of experience, I thought he was talking about a woman in her late forties, early fifties. Turns out she’s in her mid-thirties. Much of her job experiences overlapped with each other, so the misunderstanding was normal. I guess a lot of people “pad up” their resumes that way. It’s not a strict lie, but it’s a bit misleading, if you ask me. Continue reading “The New Boss of Me”

The Old Boss of Me

Posted on May 17, 2010 by Jaycee

Big change at the office today.

You probably don’t know this, but I work at a web publisher. My official title is Submissions Editor, which sounds a LOT better than what the actual job entails. It’s my job to go through piles of submitted articles, validate the content is acceptable for publication, get it rewritten (if necessary) or copy-edited, and forward it to the webmastering group once it’s ready. It’s not that different from a real publishing house, except the cycles are faster (no print times). More mistakes get through as a result. Continue reading “The Old Boss of Me”
