dear jess. happy new freakin' year. love work.

So I spent the first hour and a half of work today calling the bulk of our Christmas casuals trying to get them to come in and work.

I spent most of that time talking to voicemail.

As much as the thought of talking to myself is appealing, it loses its touch when you say, "Hi *insert name here*, it's Jess from *insert name of the evil corporation here*. Just wondering if you could come and work for us today. If you could give me a call back on *insert number here*, that would be great. Thanks"

Lather, rinse, repeat about fifty times over and you'd take an extended coffee break too.

It's only the second day of the year, and already I'm hoping to get the good news I've been waiting for.
