Ok not only have i just been handed a book to complete the editing of by the end of this week even though it is 320 pages long, i had to come in at 8 this morning and aint leaving till 9 this evening!
In the first chapter, which is 11 pages long, of this 320 page book are 334 (!) little letters that need to be changed to numbers running chronologically. These 334 numbers then will reference to endnotes at the end of the chapter. All these footnotes need to be renumbered. Also after completing this task for the first chapter (of about 30) i discovered that their are 342 endnotes for 334 numbers.
I have reached the conclusion that work is stupid, especially when i am working my ass off and not receiving any of the money due to people wanting me to pay them for varioius debts i owe. I hereby declare work as the worst possible outcome to my life.

hmmmmmmmmm...........slight problem, the book given to me to do on wenesday lunch time to be finished by the end of the week is about 7% complete. lucky to be finished by the end of next week if you asked me, which no one does. Stupid book, no one would want to read it anyway. also whoever added these endnote references thinks the alphabet goes abcdefghiklmnojpqrstvwxyz. interesting. Obviously there is no 'u' in prayer!

Maybe i could get a job as a pro sleeper? i could work for a big, rich lawyer or something so I could sleep instead of him and then he could work more. Sounds like a plan to me!
