Boss-less

So for the last couple of days, I've been mainboss-less. Meaning, my main boss has been gone on business and its been very quiet becaues I don't have her traffic coming through my office area. So I've taken advantage of it by not doing a whole lot. It doesn't help that she took the laptop that has some work of mine on it, but left it at home instead of taking it with her on the trip so I don't have access to any of it. But I don't really mind. Its given me more time to peruse the internets and focus on my latest mission: finding Red Sox tickets for May 28th.

I just want to experience Fenway, and possibly get the change to see J.T. Snow one more time. And how fun would a Sunday afternoon at Fenway be? I've been scouring ebay and the site where season ticket holders sell the tickets they can't use. People pay a lot of money for those tickets, eh? It looks like its gonna cost me at least 50, more like 60 bucks for a ticket - at the least. There definitely is a limit for me though - I figure I'll be in Boston again sometime in my future - no need to pay too much. Plus, if I can't get tickets and the Northwestern Lacrosse team makes it to the NCAA Championships again this year, the semifinals and finals are being played in Boston this year, Memorial Day weekend. How fun would that be!! Suckily, the lacrosse game will probably be at the same time as the Red Sox game on Sunday. Then again, the 'Cats could not make it to the finals. But they very possibly could too. we'll see.

One of the offers I came across on the site that sells season ticket holders' tickets was for four tickets for the DUGOUT BOX, FIRST BASE SIDE, 2ND ROW, SEATS 1-4. How frikin' kickass is that!?! Those would be like my dream tickets - right next to first base! Too bad they were going for $1,000 bucks!!! Sigh. Someday, I'm going to get seats right in front for a Giants game. The opportunity will come, I know it.

Okay, so one thing that has been annoying me lately - we got a new copy machine last week, and its been a pain in my arse. You have to punch in a keycode to be able to make copies, which is what we had to do with the old copy machine, but with this machine you have to press an extra "access key" button after you input your code before you can start copying. No one seems to be able to see the sign RIGHT ABOVE the copy machine that gives you these instructions. To be fair, I didn't see it at first, but after a bit I looked up and saw it and voila, copies. The annoying part of this is that the copy room is at one end of the hall, and when you walk out of it, the door directly at the end of the hall is my door, and my desk. Therefore, everyone who can't figure the new copy machine for one reason or another (how do you staple? Make it two-sided? copy?) comes and asks me. And usually, they can't really speak english (most of the employees at my agency are multi-lingual, with English usually not their first language), so I usually have to get up and show them how to do it as opposed to just telling them "press the key that says "ACCESS KEY." I've had to remind one lady about the access key multiple times now. Sigh. I guess everyone can't have my superhuman administrative assistant ability to figure out any copy machine. I got two-sided, stapled, collated, and color paper copies in my first try with the new machine! Shoot, don't mess with me suckas.

Funny story about a random message I got over facebook tomorrow...
