Confessions of an Administrative Guru

* Sometimes I read blogs in the middle of the work day to regain my sanity.

* Sometimes I drink real Dr. Pepper out of a Styrofoam cup so my co-workers will THINK I'm drinking diet and won't know I'm sipping my body weight in sugar through a straw.

* Sometimes I drink out of Styrofoam because I just want to throw the cup away instead of carrying a glass back to the dishwasher. I then pay penance by imagining Jenna shaking her organically-green, earth-friendly, eco-loving water bottle at me and vow never to do that again.

* Sometimes I forget to water the plants . . . on purpose. And sometimes I over water them . . . on accident.

* Sometimes I eat lunch REALLY, REALLY late because I'm desperately trying to get rid of the piles on my desk FIRST. Staring at a mountain of work while eating is about as appetizing as chewing on glass for my Type-A personality.

* Sometimes I talk about the news as if I read the paper and watched Anderson Cooper daily - when in reality my only connection to what's going on in the world is the one-sentence blip that I read on my elevator ride to the eighth floor.

* And all the time I'm thankful I have a great job to go to.
