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.

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?

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?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

wow onerous tasking went really fast, so I brought in the laundry to fold, and partially re-loaded the washer, and put out a couple of more Christmas decorations, AND then I straightened up mac's bathroom because we have a kid coming for a playdate today and I doubt they play outside.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The tough meeting wasn't that tough, but I still need my ESP evaluated by boss, and to talk to him about working from home. Not looking forward.
