February 2nd, 2001:

I am eating a bag of Cheetos Crunchy Flaming Hot. They aren’t lying… these things are HOT. However, after reviewing the list of (mostly unpronounceable) ingredients, I cannot figure out what makes them so hot. Red 40 Lake looks hot… but I don’t think it actually is hot. They also list garlic powder as an ingredient… but some how I don’t think that’s it. Maybe I should have been a chemistry major after all.

Today I was given yet another one of the oh-so-important information sheets the secretaries are always passing out and requiring the completion of in order to make themselves look more important. I had to dig through layers and layers of corporate bureaucracy in order to find one piece information: my anniversary date.

And when I finally found it, one thought hit me in the head like a rock: I have hated the same damn job for over three and a half years.
