karma is a bitch

MAC has been sick for 2 weeks now. Didn't seem to be a major cold but enough that he was in bed pretty early every night. He is finally getting better and yesterday I made a comment. Now to set this up, before the words came out of my mouth I knew that I probably should not make the comment. but the blabber that I am - I couldn;t refrain. In an effort to make it gentle, I prefaced it with "knock on wood" and then said "you get sick so much more than I do" end quote. I thought that I covered my bases by knocking on wood FIRST, but as karma would have it, that afternoon I could feel the cold coming. Ears popping, really tired, throat immensely dry and water was doing nothing. And so be it. the gods have spoken and decided to punish me for not taking better care of my boy when he was sick. WHY??!!! I am at work today, would have taken a sick day but I actually have calls I am running and don;t have a speaker phone at home. well we do but it sucks. I also did leave my power cord at the office so I guess I had no choice since I would have needed my computer anyway.

Oh well, at least I had a good weekend of some snowboarding! I am SORE as crap but I do think I improved slightly!

good old MTV

I cannot tell you how much I love the Gauntlet 2! Again these are people that are celebs for no reason but I like em! Beth of course drives me CRAZY but is so damn funny to watch. She is completely clueless and I think is a compulsive liar. What I want to know...what the hell do these people do for a living? they can take off months from work to go shoot this show on some island? are they all temp workers that this is doable? Do they even need jobs? are they rich and famous and never have to work again? Do people actually stop them on the street and ask for autographs? I am so curious about what their lives entail...other than posing for playboy as most of the women do. And honestly, how is it that almost all of these men are HUGE? these are big boys and for their age I think it is pretty damn impressive. so none of them work and they must all live at the gym.

I am tired of old real world and road rules on their own, but throw in these people together and get them fighting over money and I am at peace with the world.

let's be honest

mixing many bottles of wine, 2 boys, beer, lots of sugar and pizza results in some good times! I had a blast at the slumber partttaaayyy at mi casa! MAC is still talking about it. He thinks they should do a reality show on our slumber nights! some great questions asked, some uncessary details shared, good stories all night.

Miss Curious was able to successfully stain both of our couches...oh JK!!! they are just little smudges! I am so happy I finally got to give ambs her salt n peppa shakers from like 2 years ago. One thing I am bummed we did not do was play some old school Ninendo! I can whoop all ya'lls asses. bring it.

tell me more about your work experiences

this is funny. I get to interview little college students for a summer internship program at work. Who am I to be judging these kids! It's like, what distinguishes them from each other? I am sure they would all do great with the 3 month job so how do I decide? I am basing it on genuine interest in the field, but come on. WHen I was a junior the last thing I was genuinely interested in was work. I feel like I am beign to harsh with my ratings but show me you want this more than anything! is that wrong? If I were interviewing myself all I know is that I would never get hired!

Mon night goodness

I can't help but comment on the bachelor from Mon night. I LOVEEEE that the pretty girl was booted off the show! The girl is so damn pretty but she was full of shit! there was no LUV for the bachelor, she was just talking the talk. and you know she hated getting dirty and doing that rock climbing.

Anyway - hope everyone had a lovely V day. FYI I think the "day" is a crappy hallmark sellout but still it was nice having MAC and I express our appreciation for eachother.

Looking forward to the slumber party at my place this weekend! girlz rock1

So over it

there are many fabulous things about my apartment. It is a great size, great location, has plenty of closet space, has parking, dishwasher, laundry downstairs, a shower/tub. I am sure there are some more items but I would now like to complain about the many things that annoy me about our place. There is freaking mold because our damn apartment is FREEZING cold and I refuse to leave the windows open as the cost of heating in insane. We have to take a shower with our door closed because the stupid fire alarm goes off with the ittiest bittiest amount of steam. The bathroom then is not only moldy but getting ready in the mornign sucks since all the mirrors are fogged up and I get all warm / sticky and that sucks. So not only is mold on our ceiling in the bathroom AND in the kitchen, I come to find out yesterday that there is mold ON MY FUCKING CLOTHES. Our closet is attached to the bathroom so when I thought I was doing a smart thing by leaving the second door to the bathroom open so that the steam could clear, I was fucking up my clothes. No big deal I guess, threw away some stuff, will wash some stuff. But that just pushed me over the edge. I want OUT. I hate our bathroom situation, I hate the stupid mold, I hate how cold it is and how I never feel warm in my own apartment. I hate that there is no counter space in the kitchen. I hate that I don;t have a backyard and that I feel hopeless about ever owning a home. I feel like I am getting so old and yet have nothing to show for it. I should be on the road to settling down and having a home and being able to come home and cook dinner and have my significant other come home at 6 every night so we can eat dinner at a reasonable time and then do something productive with our nights. NOPE. none of that going on. what have I done and what am I accomplishing? feels like nothing. the toment continues. I doubt I will ever feel like I am doing the right thing with my life and that everything is just peachy.

say it ain't so

my phone is no longer with us. Took it to the store and it is flat out broke. No one ever told me I should pay $6 / month to have my phone insured. No one mentioned that my phone only had a 1 year warranty and that I cannot upgrade until 2 years with the same phone. Ok so maybe I should have done research on my own but SUCKS that I had to pay FULL RETAIL PRICE for a piece of crap phone that doesn't even flip and there is no camera and the window is tiny and I can;t even listen to the ring options so I am stuck with the generic Nokia ring. I am so sad. $150 wasted.

foam me up

I am becoming a master at foaming my milk for my morning coffee. It take skill, precision and patience but I am working it!

Thought for the day. I am having a hard time dealing with new hires straight from undergrad...and I am speaking in terms of working with them. I don;t know if it is just the project I am on or what but there is totally a lack of respect! I mean, when I ask them to do something, I at a minimum expect a response saying ok it is on their to-do list. Instead I have to wait a full day with nothing, come back the next day and re-ask only to be told that oh they have other stuff to do and why don;t I do it myself. Now to this I respond with some attitude because I freaking said so bitch a'ight?! I am not delegating tasks that are like go get me some coffee. I ask for a reason damn it. and when it comes down to it there should be a little as$ kissing going on right? I AM their senior! oh whatever. I am just on a little power trip I guess. but back when I was their age I was totally respectful of my elders:)

breakfast at grubsteak

I LUVVV having breakfast for dinner...even if dinner takes place at like 10pm! had another night of hanging out with coworkers and once again had a damn good time. I really enjoy spending time with one of my coworkers and her boy. She and I have so much in common in terms of work and even our relationships. Misery definitely loves company and we love to complain about our work life!

So I have to say I have really changed my outlook about my work. I am excited for what comes next and I am realizing I actually like more people at my office ! Having most of my work friends leave my office really concerned me because who wants to go to the office if there is no one there to enjoy? I had a hard time adjusting but it made me reach out of my comfort zone and reach out to others I may not have done if my friends stayed.

I can't believe we are already in February. this month always goes by so fast - I blame it on the loss of 2/3 days for the month. We have still not been to tahoe and I think we only have 1 weekend we can make it in feb. Sad. I have all my gear and it's never going to be used!
