Ok, Mad (Wo)MAN, but I was having fun with the analogy. I realized at this late date that my life is like the discription of the wonderful t.v. series, Mad Men.
It's 2008 and medical info specialist Terri rules the roost at her pathetic Market Day sale and her little niche job at a huge publishing co. Living a glamorous existence of a never-ending white port supply, clothes with holes chewed by a bird, and kids who ignore her, budding misanthrope Terri makes numerous strides in conquering endless tasks at work mindless tasks in her personal life. But the world is beginning to change, and Terri will have to use what little smarts she has to stay one step ahead of the game. Watch her tread water with a soap opera family of origin highlighted by a sister exhibiting bizarre behavior, a new person coming on board at work who she will have to train under very different circumstances, while trying to reign in renegade Market Day parent volunteers who managed to change the entire location of the site without consulting her.
Here's the real description of Season 1.
"It's 1960, and ad executive Don Draper (Jon Hamm) rules the roost at New York's Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency in this Emmy winner for Best Drama Series. Living a glamorous existence of never-ending cocktail hours, worry-free smoking and ego-stroking power, ladies' man Draper makes numerous conquests both at work and in his personal life. But the world is beginning to change, and Draper will have to use all his smarts to stay one step ahead of the game."
