Rapid Ascension of the Corporate Ladder

Dear readers, your faithful narrator realizes that his next post is highly anticipated and awaited. The trials and tribulations of this humble observer are, of course, nothing less then thrilling edge-of-your-seat adventures, and he takes this chance to apologize for the large gap between this and his last post.

You see friends, an insurgence of high-priority time-sensitive materials have besieged this quaint office. With the CEO off to Europe for high-balling and quiet reflection, the work environment has been frantic in attempts to prepare for his abscence. Papers which require immediate revision and formatting are scattered amongst the office, many of them finding their way to our favorite plucky young lad's desk (which is no longer in a cozy office with a view of the city, but now surrounded by various interns and persons with eager attitudes). His utmost apologies for paying direct attention to this, which of course goes against most of his moral fiber. However, when in Rome, we must do as the Romans.

An assignment, which while not of the top-level of importance is nonetheless essential to the smooth runnings of this non-profit, was given to our faithful narrator yesterday morning. The CEO recently took a trip abroad and during his adventures took over 400 photographs of landscapes and rivers. When these pictures were sent to the printer, the conundrum that is Windows XP Picture and Fax Viewer put said photographs out of order, just slightly. The important task of going through all 411 of them and labelling them on the "control sheet" of course could only be trusted with yours truely, due to his overwhelming capacity for turning out high-quality product. The task was approached with vigor, enthusiasm, and cunning.

Today the giant has not shown up, his lair a dank pit of emptiness and loneliness. The entire workplace moral is suffering greatly, although no one is burning candles and incense. Go figure.

More important documents involving possible lunch dates need to be processed and sent. To Microsoft Outlook and QUICK!
