In Reply To: I'm on the beach...literally! I haven't worked in over a month now. So I am going to start chronicaling my adventures as a beached consultant in LA. It's really nice because I changed my contact number in K-WEB to my cell phone right. My partner is in NYC or something. She was like, you need to go into the office every day. I do this for about a week and then I'm like, screw this you dumb "cat." I go to the beach every day now, sometimes to Santa Monica, sometimes to Manhattan, surfed at Malibu three or four days ago...or at least tried to. Every Monday I like to go in and chat it up with the admins. Sometimes I drive over to Orange county for a change of pace. It was fun! Last Monday, I got up real early and fought traffic like I had a real job. After getting to our swank Orange County office, I decided that it was time for a break and hightailed it to Laguna for a power nap. Has anyone noticed all the gay people there? -not that there is anything wrong with that. But I'm just wondering, why are there so many people on the beach on a week day??? Anyhow the point was, is anyone else getting paid for doing nothing, or is it just me? K-boy
Message: After some totally crappy weather, the sun goddess returned to her home in SoCali and dude the weather these past few weeks has been awesome. I??ve been going to the beach with some new friends I made. One of them just got laid off his dot com, and the others are still in college. Anyhow one of them scored some killer Herb and we ended up hanging out all day and getting totally baked out of our minds (??and I don??t mean by the sun, for all u stiff types.) They kept asking me about my job, because none of them could believe I was still getting paid. This is just between us, but I think I may have interested them in joining KPMG when *they* graduate too. So I??m sorry I haven't really had time to write you guys, loafing around all day is harder than it looks! Also, the techie guys at work had my freakin computer, I??ll have to tell you about that little tale tomorrow?? later boys and girls. ROCK ON! K-boy P.S. From now on I will be posting under my new Vault Member Name K-boy. Those partners may look harmless sitting there on the phone all day in their Aeron chairs with their Vaio laptops, but believe me, they can be vicious little chits[sic]! I mean who knows what they could be capable of! So for security purposes, as the network admins like to say at ??The Firm??, new posts will be under my new name.
