Le Sigh.....

today is one of those days....


one of those days where you feel sick but not sick enough to call in. one of those days where the thought of dealing with people ((cough::morons::cough)) seems painful.


one of those days where the e-mails i recieved with the below quotes made me chuckle :)


(e-mail from Kelly)
"Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or hump it...piss on it and walk away"


(e-mail from Vija)
"I don't mind coming to work, but this eight hours of waiting to go home is just bullshit"




i should get back to work. i actually have a lot of stuff to keep me occupied. mainly becuase i have someone coming to sit with me this afternoon. i mentioned in the 'loose lips' blog that i was given a list of phone numbers to hand out to people coming in with various work related questions. the guy who gave me that list is coming in to sit with me for about 2.5 hours today to 'make sure it's going smoothly.' ugh. this man has the personality of used car lot salesman. cheesy. one of those guys. i'd really rather not have him sit in the chair behind me like a lurk while i do busy work. i hope to god he doesn't try to make idle chit-chat. and let's mention the fact that the amount of people coming in (to whom i'll hand out those phone numbers) varies from day to day. one day i could have 30 people come in. the next day 2. today it'll probably be 0. he'll go report to his boss that 'everything is just fine' when it's not. argh.
stupid corporate america hoo-ha. ugh.

HAPPY 28th VIJA!

(this is the actual picture you'll get when you type in Vija's Birthday)

Happy 28th Birthday Vija!

this blog is dedicated to you VibaJiba.

i am so happy that we've met. we share the same sense of sarcasm. i can tell you disturbing bathroom stories and you still talk to me. (that didn't come out sounding good....not that it really could i guess...). i'm extremely happy that you've learned to crochet and get a blog!

i am extremely sorry that i'm a shit friend. i knew it was your birthday today. i sent you a work birthday card! when i called you this morning you probably assumed it was to say 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!' - but no - it was just me asking for more envelopes. i then proceeded to sit through an entire lunch break with you and say nothing. well - we talked but i still didn't say anything birthday related. only at around 3 when i read your blog did i remember - ACK! i'm an ass.

sorry.

to make up for it i'm bringing you some treats. :)

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like....

oh shit - i did not just start singing a christmas song.......

today it snowed. not just little insignificant flakes - but snow that resulted in stickage. not a lot but stickage nonetheless. i specifically asked god to not let this happen until after we moved but he must hear like the hairdresser. darn that god......never listens.....

this was taken on my way home from work. you can't see the flakes but they're there. hmph.

ugh. i have a headache from wearing a headband all day. i took it off but the result was not pretty. i have company coming over soon but they'll just have to deal with the ugly amelie.

speaking of company i should probably get some things straightened up around here and the snacks ready. it'll be night with mia and vija (hi!), wine, food and don't forget the crocheting! :)

oh - HAPPY (early) THANKSGIVING! :)
