I am so excited. I'm going to see Buckcherry this weekend at the state fair. One of my favorite bands and I have never seen them live before. I can't wait. biggrin

I'm so bored. My boyfriend, Fitz, is in Mexico for 2 weeks with his mom. My parents went to San Francisco for a month. I'm stuck here and I have a bunch of reports that are due on Monday. This sucks.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

I'll tell you one of the reasons I want to do it. My grandmother keeps bothering me about getting highlights in my hair. Constantly says something about it. Today she said it looked like I needed another haircut because my hair's clumping in the middle of my head, and it "looks like you've got a knot on your head." She's very peculiar about hair. She thinks I have good hair, but damn. I never talk to her about anything because anything she wants to talk about involves hair, clothes and shopping. Talking to her is more like an interrogation rather than a conversation. She's got a pocket full of barbs that she throws at people at any given opportunity.

If you've ever read that book Emotional Vampires, by Albert Bernstein, the histrionic profile in the book is her mirror image. (It's a good book; you should read it.)


If I shave my head, there will be no more discussion about it.



Never tried haggis, but you're right ... nothing more than a sausage. Never had an aspic food either. Looks pretty gross.

What did the orangish sauce in the "La Panza" taste like?

What's a food that you thought you'd hate, but enjoyed?



thejuanupsman:
That looks awesome. I'm going to have to try that. I have not been there but I have been to their food truck downtown. The Bangkok burrito with Korean short ribs is one of the greatest things I have ever eaten. Highly recommend it.

I really am loving the new job. Should the need arise I will definitely keep your NPO in mind. And should the same ever be true of you, then please come work with me for the least evil gigantic financial conglomerate I have ever encountered. They are pretty awesome. You'd love it here.

I just got a new camera and took a bunch of pictures but can't get them to post. Boo. blackeyed

Was it you or them? It may've been them. You're smarter than you think. I've managed to be great in the previous three math courses, but am weak at it. This just exposes the flaw and makes me feel like a diminutive little idiot, somewhat akin to a troll or sewer rat. Maybe both?

It's just this one little detail that burns my ass. I practiced these particular tables for awhile, you see. But when practicing them, they were a little easier to chunk, and I think he put a little extraneous information in the table to try and throw people off on the test ... but I'm not sure. It could just be that I was stupid and didn't know what the fuck I was doing.

The table on the test looked a little different than what I was used to - with these very small ledger lines and stuff like that ... a few margins with stuff I didn't recognize. And I totally just stared at it the whole time. The computations were simple too, but it was just the knowing of what goes where that fucked me over. Not good with things like tables, where the data is condensed like that. Never been a good test-taker, either.

It seems weird to me that I have been here for almost 2 years. Originally I had only planned to join for a month. I just wanted to see why my boyfriend spent so much time on here.

It makes sense to me now. tongue

I'm probably late to this party, but I have recently discovered Soundcloud and I love it. So much music that I would never ever get to hear otherwise. Awesome.

Thank you very much for your cute comment (:
thejuanupsman:
Hmm, I'm not sure you'd care for the job I am doing now. Pretty aggressive on the sales and negotiation fronts. They are always looking for administrative assistants though. Banking industry and located in downtown Minneapolis. Let me know if you want more info. I am sure I can get you the name of someone to call to skip over some of the application process and proceed right to an interview.

I'd love to work with you again. It would be a blast. biggrin

Time for my monthly update.

I don't really have any news. Still loving my new job and things are still going well with Fitz. Even though we dated before it feels like we are in that exciting new relationship phase. It's pretty cool. I missed that feeling.

Other than that I am just excited to be going back to school soon. A little nervous too...

Hey everyone, just a quick blog to let you know I am alive and very well. Things are going really great. I just started a new job with a local non-profit and so far I absolutely love it. Great cause, great people and much better pay and benefits than I was getting before. I am pretty psyched. I have also made plans to start going...

So I got really pissed off yesterday and quit my job without giving any notice. In hindsight I probably should have waited until I had found something else but it still feels great. I'm sure panic will set in eventually but right now all I feel is relief. I am finally out of that toxic environment.

Edited to add

I think I am going to...

You definitely did the right thing. That place was horrible.

I'm good.

Sometimes I can't believe I am me either. tongue

I have to work a half day Christmas Eve and they are automatically denying any time off requests for that day. Lame. Might as well just have normal hours then. Coming in for half a day sucks. mad

I have it figured out on paper, but that doesn't always pan out. lol

Yeah, sleep is crazy like that, but I guess it's the circadian rhythm is what they call it, and ours is based around being awake during the day, and doing things at that time, so when you start to mess with it, you feel it...hard!
thejuanupsman:
It certainly does. Fond memories.

Your hopes have been fulfilled. I believe I am.

If the phrase "I am the nicest person I know" means something to you, then I definitely am.

That place sucks. You should quit.

How are you? I've missed you quite a bit. Tell everyone (well, everyone I like, you know who they are) I said "Hi".

Just when I had never felt more unappreciated at work they go and name me the Employee of the Month for November. I swear I will never understand the way this company operates. confused

Well, good luck on the not screwing around and finding a new one. smile
horror_head:
Well, it's great that you feel that way.

Why would you want to leave the company that loves you so?! Just jokin'. smile Hopefully they'll be more appreciative of what you offer them, rather than just throwing you a bone every now and then. Or maybe they've changed their tune, and this is the start of great things to come?shocked

Things seem to be looking up a little lately. It's a nice change. I hope it lasts.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. smile
