Ugh. How is it only Wednesday? I feel like this week has dragged on.
*Refreshes email inbox* Still nothing. I haven’t done anything so far this week. I can’t believe they’re paying me to sit around and pretend like I’m busy. I mean, I’ll happily take the money but being bored to death is just brutal.
I don’t get why I haven’t been staffed yet this week. Is the firm having trouble finding clients? That’s impossible — we’re Deloitte. Everyone knows who we are; we get all the shitty consulting work that the other firms pass on. L.O.L.

But instead they are paying me to sit here and do nothing. What a joke! But, whatever, that’s fine with me. I’ll happily —

Tomorrow morning? Are you kidding me? I fucking hate this job. *Ctrl+R*
