La Belle Vie

childish

I'm feeling neglected today...first of all i e-mailed silpa in the morning and she hasn't answered, making this about the third day in a row that this has happened. I know, i'm dumb, and just because she's busy at work and doesn't compulsively check her e-mail every 6 seconds like some of us doesn't mean she doesn't love me.
Secondly, i'm feeling undervalued at work. Because here's the deal: I suggested to my buddy Josh Segal that he apply to work at the news office, and when he did, i recommended him really highly to my boss. So Josh was hired, largely on the strength of my recommendation. But Josh was hired to do a special project. So while I often sit here searching the web desperately for things to do, Josh always has something to do, and it's interesting, and he's largely self-guided, as opposed to my job, where i only ever have work if i ask people for it every 5 minutes. Now, Josh is getting to come in specially on Monday, at a time that i will be working anyway, so that he can attend John Johnson's funeral in Rockefeller while i sit here at my desk at the News Office. Also attending the funeral will be, among others, Barack Obama, Jesse Jackson, and at least one high-ranking member of the Bush Administration. Now i know that it's morally reprehensible of me to want to go to a funeral because of who will be there. But, just, in general, i feel so out of the loop at the news office, like everyone else is a real employee and i'm just an intern. And i was starting to not feel that way when they assigned me the obituary on Monday, but now i'm back to it. So i'm done doing work today. Childish, i know, but there it is. I just want the week to be over.

love y'all
