What do the following have in common?:

• a paper on the Burmese Python
• a hysterical, crazy elderly volunteer
• a “train” with a girl with a fat neck
• a meeting about nothing
• borderline sexual harassment about 7X
• a mystery dude named Meatball
• endless paperwork
• “What’s Your Fantasy?” by Ludacris
• Phish on MyTube
• about 16 quarterly reports
• a voice mail left for a detective
• a frantic phone call from a funder
• emails asking me for yet another calendar of events
• 12 kids setting up for an annual meeting
• yet another convo with that crazy lady whose daughter REALLY doesn’t want to get her GED
• endless tallying of demographic information for 3 separate reports
• fudging of said reports
• faxing about seventy forms I had to fill out for the second time to the funder
• fending off an eleven year old who really wants me to buy his candles
• calling the Mayor’s office to make an appointment with a notary for both me and a client
• questioning the sinister kid about the laptop (his story doesn’t match up)
• escorting ten kids out of the building
• preventing them from slipping back in
• talking about some kid’s “pimp hand”

You got it! Just another typical Tuesday at work!

And ya wonder why I don’t have the energy to write about much else.  This shit is waaaaayyyyy too good.
