Special

My usual flippant and witty ( I llike to think) writing aside, this morning I just want to take a minute to let a colleague know we are thinking about her during her time of loss. We are here if you need us.

Wasting My Time

Do you ever get so neurotic about things that it keeps you up? Well, I do. So Wednesday night was spent tossing and turning and mostly just not sleeping. I knew I had to finish something and was so worried I wouldn’t get it done. So I “woke up” bright and early and ran out the door, rushing right past my husband to get to the car. Cancelled my carpool so I could just leave and skidded into work. No talking, just stop get coffee, right. No working out, just finish. OK fine, at least someone was taking it seriously. 2pm, all done.. and not a moment to spare but wait, what’s this, my meeting can’t take place unless he who I am meeting with shows up. Not only did he not bother showing up, he did not bother cancelling, rescheduling or even acknowledging  the meeting. Mother %&^T&^%^!!!! GRRRRRRRR.

Oh and on a non-related note, I read plenty of books you big jerk!

I See You

I sometimes wonder if people realize they are not invisible. For example, just because you run straight at your office door and sneak inside, doesn’t mean no one saw you. Another example, walking into a room with two people and saying hi to one of them. Yes, the second person did see you, even though you didn’t take the time to say hi. On a side note, yes they are pissed at you because that’s totally rude. And the third , and my personal favorite, you tripped, we saw you. No, you are not invisible, we are just not as rude as you to point it out. Try as you might people, the world can still see you.

Good Aim

A few technology workplace environments lend themselves to a strictly professional atmosphere , mine is not one of them. It makes it harder to seperate personal, professional and as it turns out polite (which I think is the warm fuzzy in between.) Working with two of my close friends adds to the confusion – although its not a problem for us, it does make the workplace seem like it should be a fun place. (Well, until they moved them next door- BASTARDS)

With the who dunnit mysteries of last week, I think the chaos level has reached an all time high! The news of the new and  hidden possibilities of additional mysteries have ushered in a whole new level of discontent. I’d say we should just get high marks for remembering our basic manners at this point. Through it all, I do have one piece of advice, remember who we are mad at and aim in that direction.

Home Sweet Home

Since the crazy people at my building have decided to raise the rent $500 so I can stay in the same place that has neither been renovated nor maintained, I shall be packing up my life and moving once again. I am an expert, trust me. 14 years, 12 different apartments. I think I should get some sort of moving award because that is only counting apartments, not even counting moving back into my mom’s moving to Norway or any of my other random moves. Anyway, so the apartment is cheaper, nicer and waiting for a housewarming:) Coincidentally, this week marks the first day of the cash only budgetting savings plan. We’ll see how that goes.

Sniff Sniff

They took my friends. That’s right you heard me. All my friends have been moved to the building which we do not acknowledge. I fear we may be next….

Oh dramatics aside. I realized this morning that everyone I talk to and look forward to seeing has been moved away to the other building. I walked in the door and prepared my good mornings and realized that there was no one to whom I would like to say good morning. No Carebear , no Sheppard , they even took my beloved  mean fairy.

Now, I sit at my desk sniffling, but its totally from my cold, not because Im lonely….

Back to Me

Those of you who know me will not be shocked by this… but I am 100% psyched to be back to work. I’ve always been a bit odd. But here I am rested and ready to get back into things. The last week has been spent quietly with family. It’s been nice and don’t get me wrong, while I love to sit around and hang out with my family,  it’s nice to be back to my daily routine.  I have honestly spent every free moment of the last week watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which is such a great show and reminded me of something. That’s right our dear slayer has lessons to teach. One- don’t walk in a cemetary late at night and sit on fresh graves unless you have brought a stake; two- if the school swim team has gotten too good and among its key members are the future stars of Prison Break, there is a good chance they have been drugged and are actual fish boys; and three- I shouldn’t stop being myself because it makes someone else think less of me, because than I think less of me. Who knew you could get so much out of vampires, demons and one girl who can kick all their asses. So, while being home and isolated may have lessened the pain and crankiness of some folks, I am so happy to be back. Do you think they’ll let me put a tv in my cube lest my euphoric feeling should fade?
