Onerous task is onerous! Too many numbers!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am starting in on a giant pile of slides to be transferred to JPG and relabeled, and while they scan I'll be working on a PR letter for Allyson (another one; I pre-onerous tasked my way through a goodly pile of them yesterday, so yay on that).
ION, my favorite Santa was fired last weekend! I'd totally been planning to take Matilda to Macy's to see him for her third visit, because he's just ridiculously sweet and good with kids and thoroughly Santa-like (some of the other families we waited in line with last year said they'd been bringing their kids to him for ten years), but now he's sacked. Though apparently I can still take her to see him, at the bar around the corner. My city, God love her.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I didn't have a Tino. I had a New Guy. It was a different kind of special.
I miss New Guy stories.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Onerous tasks done! Made copies of the program-done! Found 3 empty boxes-done! Organized props into said empty boxes-done!
I still need to find some more empty boxes by next week, but I feel okay with my progress. yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did the expense report, but then got derailed talking to my chatty coworker. Oops. That was not onerous.

Can I say that my onerous task today is my frigging work...so I am just doing it, despite a complete Word Perfect fail that required a transfer into Word at the last minute.

Yay for the expense report, Jesse!
Yay, Sue!! Honestly, just doing work can be onerous at any time and especially so when there is technology fail.

My real onerous task is the meeting I have tomorrow with my boss and my boss boss about this stupid document I'm working on. There's nothing like stirring the pot by adding a line to a document to make a policy decision that really should be made several pay grades above mine. Oh well, I do as instructed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Shockingly, I seem to have completed all of my onerous tasks for the day. Can I go home now?
