I have sudoku'ed myself to death.

After surfing the web for hours, boredom has finally set in. I've read every single article on CNN.com. I even educated myself about animal domestication and riot survival. I managed to grow tired of StumbleUpon, too, which is a difficult task. Whatever, I'm not complaining. I am getting paid for this nonsense.

In other news, I just ate the tastiest brownie in all the universe and it contained 0 g's-o-fat. Zero! It's mind blowing. Also, I am obsessed with LOST, and I am in love with Sawyer. Yes, the sarcastic asshole. Shocking.

I am having a fiesta this weekend and I pretty much can't wait.

sleep sleep sleepy

I need to have a chillathon this weekend. The past couple nights have almost killed me. I'm pretty stoked about seeing Jordan tomorrow, though. It has been months. Not too stoked about getting up at 7:30 in the morning ughhh.

I have done nothing today. I have gotten paid to do nothing. Well, that's not true. I have gotten paid to play sudoku, read about current events, answer about 5 phone calls and keep my seat nice and toasty. It's a pretty good thing too, because me and hungover are getting sick of each other.


Whiskey and I are still besties.

title-less

A guy in a Lexus flipped me off on West Riverside this morning because I failed to slam on my breaks and allow him to cut me off as hastily as he would have preferred. Don't you just love humanity?

This is gonna be a pretty stellar day, though. Aside from the fact that a self-proclaimed "computer god" destroyed my computer. He came in on Friday simply to repair a few Outlook errors and start up problems. He managed to temporarily fix those issues, but somehow screwed up the important programs. So now my computer is worse off than it was. Of course. Fortunately, that means I get a new computer in a few days. :)

I get a free lunch today, too. The drug reps are intensely annoying, but at least I get free food out of them. Alright, I should probably get back to my super busy job.

Obamarama!

Dead right.

Ugh. I now realize just why my best friends are my BEST friends. And I suddenly miss them after a longish night of drinking downtown.

Short, actually. I began my day slurping my 7 million calorie frappucino and folding the laundry I left in the dryer the night before. Oh, and the two 17,000 calorie chocolate chip cookies I also purchased before 10:00 am. It's been a long time since I've been awake before noon on a Saturday. It's also been awhile since I've hung out with someone(s) that didn't really understand me. Kind of like a bad first date (though good first dates are a rarity).



Timing is everything.

The song I swore I'd never sing.

Life shmife. Thank god the roads were nice and dry this morning. People freak when they see water. I was in a [jazz-less] trance the entire drive to work. I am somehow not too sleepy right now, though. Apparently, 4 is the new 8.

This week has been quite taxing. Things have been so up and down. I'm just ready for everything to smooth out.

I'm pretty excited about the next couple days. I don't plan on doing a damn thing. I haven't had a relaxing weekend in ages. Thank god I opted out of the camping trip. I am in dire need of a break. A sleep til noon, bake cookies, and live in my pj's kind of break. And maybe I'll buy some shoes.

Was I dreaming last night? It all seems so surreal. The rain, the company, the impulses. I am entangled in emotions right now, but none of it matters. As long as I don't lose a good friend. That's all I care about.

balla holla

My cat has recently developed an obsession with digging burrows in my comforter. Right now, for instance, she is attacking my bed.

Remember that interview I went on a few entries back? The one for the architectural product distributor folks? Turns out, I got the job. They called today and offered it to me. Ha! Suckers. You can't just wait two weeks and assume I am still available. Still, though... I feel pretty bad ass. My current job was definitely worth the wait, though, and I wouldn't trade it for anything right now.

So what IS this alleged job I speak of?! I am a receptionist for the tiniest little doctor's office ever! The doc is a family practitioner and I think he's kind of over it after practicing for 30+ years. He spends about 5 hours in the office TOPS. I answer a few phone calls, schedule a few appointments, check a few people in, and spend the other 7 hours surfing the web and chatting with my 3 bad ass coworkers. We don't even have to deal with insurance companies. And it's definitely not your typical, depressing doctors office where 10 people are dying in the waiting room. Today was the busiest day we'll ever have... and there were a total of 7 patients. Oh, and the BEST part is- aside from having the most relaxed job ever- I get to leave by 4:30 every day (4 on Friday) and still get paid as if I stayed until 5. That's an extra 12 hours a month. My job owns.

Unfortunately, a few friendship things are getting old. It's time for a change or two.

ouchie :(



Yes, Saturday night destroyed my toe for good. I am on a solid diet of booze and Advil to kill the pain. The nail fell off Saturday morning after running around Friday night. That surprisingly took all the pain away! So, of course, a lame ass wearing combat boots had to JUMP on it [see above for the end result]. I'm pretty sure the whole damn toe is gonna fall off. I give it 2-4 weeks.

Eventually I'll write about how bad ass my new job is :). Instead... more pictures from last weekend? [I promise these will be less gross.]

let us rejoice

Don't you hate how the ONLY cure for a massive hangover is drinking more alcohol? Anyway, I am no longer unemployed! Hooray! And I didn't settle for a lame job.

This one's gold.
