I Wonder What It's Like To Be Head Honcho

I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me.

C'mon - Real World by Matchbox 20? That's a classic!

So B-fab was a vegetarian once. Not because of animal rights or anything; she just hates the texture of meat. Also The Butler was trying to pitch American Apparel to us pod prepsters. Nothing like some striped neon leggins and a headband to get ready for the Ugly Disco.

It's been what, 8 months since The Butler, HookerJones and I started this job? Probably one of the longest committed relationships I've ever had. That's nice.

The neat thing about having been with the company for 3 years (as a summer intern, now as a full-timer) - I've been witness to incredible change. And that's a cool thing to be a part of. Right now we are the little babies of The Office, fresh minds to be molded.

A word of advice...once we fine soldiers of sales make it to bigger and better salaries, remember the grace period. Notice the new hires - all eager and chomping at the bit. Notice the veterans - painting our nails and partially comatose. That grace period hits circa month 3 of employment. And that's when, as the head honcho, you either need to give 'em the ax or capitalize on their teeming twenty-something energy. Otherwise they start picking up poor habits like, I dunno, discussing clothing lines, vegetarianism and...blogging.
