thanks, Rusty

thank you to Rusty for the hot tip on new viable international crush material.  I will check out Possible Lives & post my thoughts on hunky Brazilian star.  Have been trying to make myself long for Jason Bateman as surely nobody else loves him in that way, but cannot do it.  I think I need some sort of smoldering in my leading man. sigh.  Or maybe an inability to speak English.  I'll get back to you on that one.  Yesterday, I only thought about Mark Ruffalo once.  Ok, maybe twice. 

I work in a department.  In an office.  At an insurance agency.  And my department is small.  There were three of us, and I was the one who didn't do any real work.  All of that is in the past tense, of course, since my wacky, fun and hardworking bisexual coworker got a better job and now I have to do half of what she used to do which is Securities.  Securities suck.  Securities work is created by small men in small rooms with small minds who make up forms that I have to fill out and send in and then the small men send them back to me because, inevitably, I check the wrong box.

Here is an example of an email that I just received:

You are not missing any forms....in fact, there are too many forms.  When $ is for SEI, all I need is the SEI paperwork, copy of the drivers license and the Park Avenue Securities Agreement. The non-brokerage application would be for mutual fund business (like American Funds) or for variable annuities. If you do complete one again, remember to add the number of dependents (I am assuming it would be "0" in this case) on the account owner form and if the client is employed, you do not need to list the source of income - there are 3 questions in the middle of the page that are usually answered "no" (you checked off 2 of them) and you only need to complete one account owner form for each owner (joint accounts would include two adults and an adult and child (like for 529 plans))

 Holy God.  I am a smart girl.  My mom told me so.  But I find myself hitting the top of my computer when I get emails like that.  Actually, my computer has started making a high-pitched whining noise lately and so I have to hit it often. 

And I'm blaming it on Securities.
