the break-up of the gruesome twosome

i am so happy today! today is a good day! why? why i am so happy today? is it because i have two job interviews coming up? maybe. is it because next week i will be moving into a fabulous new apartment? possibly. is it because i have made it to the middle of chapter two of my novel? could be. but, my dear blog readers, the real reason i am so very very happy today is because today is the glorious day that i found out that the senior clerk will be leaving for FOUR MONTHS! blah blah blah she's on a committee and will be training people on a new ILS system. SHE'LL BE GONE FOR FOUR MONTHS! AT LEAST! (one must assume that everything actually takes longer than originally expected) when does this bless-ed period of senior-clerk-free-ness begin? when?! MONDAY! YES THIS MONDAY! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! ohmygod! i am so excited. and of course ms. manager brought us in for a solemn meeting about how we all must pull together and pick up the slack in her absence and she almost shed a single tear that her mean little partner in crime would be leaving her. HA! team work. we'll see about that.
