Crushing it (NOT! PSYCH!!!)

8/4/16
Today is “personal business” day. 

I need to upload a Cobra document to my laptop, and thought “oh!  My printer scans”.  Rather than email, I thought I’d throw the doc on a thumb drive, which is an option it gives me. However, there is no visible port on the printer so I pulled it away from the wall and looked everywhere.  No dice.

This is a newer HP I bought at Costco. 

I thought to myself, “If this is American Technology, specifically HP, I know why that company is sucking wind so bad.”

So, I am sitting here, not wanting to look up the computer model, and figure out where the g-d port is, so I made some popcorn and drank a La Croix to calm myself down.

I remember when a dear dear work colleague of mine was sharing that her husband (who was a dirtbag at being a husband) and her were divorcing.  She said “well, at least one good thing—we all are awesome at CRUSHING PAPERWORK”.  We had just heard about the divorce, so I chose not to respond verbally, but I remember thinking (we are? Who is? I am not good at crushing paperwork at all!  I hate that shit!).

That’s how I feel right now—surrounded by mounds of envelopes, cheaper cable notices, etc and I just want to go outside and run away from it all! 

But instead I have to set up a google pay account, print and scan a contract, scan some cobra documents, find my missing credit card, file some bank statements, get some mail to ex-roommate’s husband, read my Nat Geo, and I just want to RUN RUN RUN!

But, that’s not how crushing paperwork works.


Ps---I got so overwhelmed that I absolutely failed, and took a nap from 2-5.  Better luck tmw!
