I'm at work, bored out of my mind. My AIM isn't working for some reason (stupid firewalls) and I have nothing to do. Someone entertain me!!!

My office has a couch. And a TV. And lots of fun toys.

...and I have 35 minutes to go on the conference call from hell...

That just took me too long to understand where the Without a Trace reference came from, now I got it.
So what does everyone do for work? Anything fun?

which lady in without a trace???? poppy montgomery? she is so beautiful!!!! seriously, what are you talking about?

I am the Associate Marketing Analyst for RR Donnelley, a huge company that prints magazines, catalogs, retail inserts, directories and so much more. I am in charge of the internal company newsletter, planning a bunch of customer breakfasts and events, and a zillion other things. My office is at 99 Park Avenue. This being my first job out of college (Cornell University), I am so lucky to have found such an amazing job with the perfect company. RR Donnelley rules! The marketing department rules! Life is good...and can only get better.

Wow WaT, your job sounds very impressive! And nice location too! Park Ave!
I'm stuck on the UWS, at least I have a view of central park. Much harder in the summer when I want to be at the park instead of in the office.

At least you're not down on Water St...do you KNOW how frickin' windy and freezing it is down here?

Let's all have drinks tonight after work!

[NYadgal]

Posted: 3/15/05 at 1:59pm

Come on over!

I work in advertising. (That's the "ad" part of adgal...)

Posted: 3/15/05 at 2:03pm

Oh, working on the water must be cold!
I wish I could get together for drinks after work, but I have tickets to All Shook Up tonight....
Maybe another night though!

I work on occasion - I do the jack of all trades things.

Addy - I want your job! I was trying to get a job/internship, but no one would hire me. Bastards...(but not you. NEVER YOU)

Liotte - Uh, no comment - But I miss everyone!

Today, for 'work', I have errands to run - I'll avoid em for as long as I can.

Posted: 3/15/05 at 2:25pm

I want a private car service! You all are making me so jealous.
I love my job, it's much more fun when the kids are here rather than the administrative work all day.

[liotte]

Posted: 3/15/05 at 5:19pm

The kids are here! No more boredom!

[shira467]

Posted: 3/15/05 at 6:02pm

YAY! Have fun with the kids!

Ok, back to being bored again. I wish I could just leave and go outside, but alas, must stay at my desk doing nothing for the next 3 hours...
