hello, lovely

It’s only 12:25???

*sticks pen in eye*
*repeatedly*

Okay, I’ve been awake for about……. 30 minutes now.

I turned on Channel 5 (NBC) because I tend to have it on as background noise in the morning until I decide to sit, knit, and netflix.

THE WEATHER.. has been on that WHOLE DAMN TIME. Here’s what I have to tell you:

* Stay in today. Or go out now, because apparently it’s not a frozen tundra yet.
* If you need to go out, especially in the afternoon when it’s supposed to turn into a frozen tundra, be careful on the bridges and overpasses - they’re probably icy.

I was out last night, and it wasn’t bad at all, and a lot of the highways were already sanded down.

I know it can be dangerous out there, but if people want to go out, they’re going to. ANd if they don’t want to be careful, or if people around them aren’t careful and they get in an accident, that’s going to happen anyway. A full hour of news regarding the fact that it’s WET and about to FREEZE is a little much, I think. Especially since you know they probably had a full hour this morning… and will have a full hour later…. and another full hour after that.

Basically - stay in, or be careful out there.

i don’t wanna.
is it tomorrow yet?

Soo.. my time had to be entered last Friday for my paycheck today. I entered my time on THURSDAY, and double checked it on FRIDAY, and my time was all there.

Now? I’m 8hrs short because my time for Friday wasn’t there. So that means next paycheck is going to ROCK. Because I have about 7hrs of OT, plus the extra 8 hrs from last week, plus my normal paycheck. The only issue is that I need to finish my CHRISTMAS SHOPPING, and my CAR INSURANCE is due and the UTILITY BILL is due. This doesn’t make me completely broke, but I’m less ~100 bucks than I was expecting to have. I’ll still be okay, but it’s frustrating.

It’s really only 10:20am??

Somebody shoot me.

PLEEEEEASE don’t make me have to do anything at this stupid presentation other than say “Hi, I’m Manda… I do pregrades and sub the files.” (actually… if I can just say “Hi, I’m Manda..” that would be better. ACTUALLY.. if I could just not say ANYTHING, that would be SUPER [aside: remind me to post a joke later.. LOL].)

I sorta slipped in the shower this morning, and I think I was subconsciouly trying to KILL MYSELF so I wouldn’t have to go today.

(Okay, not really. It just happened… and I’m okay.. didn’t fall or anything.)
Why can’t I just sit at my desk and do my work like any normal day?

EDIT: UPDATE!! The meeting wasn’t as bad as I dreamed it up to be… I shook a few hands, but pretty much I was the girl in the corner clicking the mouse button. The first half of the meeting barely even involved us… so it was pretty cool. I ended up working a little later tonight cuz of all the hoopla, but that’s fine.

I remembered the joke I wanted to post, and here it is:

A major airline’s passenger cabin was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served them food and drinks.

As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and announced to the passengers, “Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he’ll be landing this big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super.”

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed a well-dressed rather exotic looking woman hadn’t moved a muscle. “Perhaps you didn’t hear me over those big brute engines. I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground.”

She calmly turned her head and said, “In my country, I am called a Princess. I take orders from no one.”

To which the gay flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, “Well,sweet-cheeks, in my country, I’m called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray-up, Bitch.”

Cell phones/plans that allow for a song to play while the phone should be ringing.

Joe’s phone now does that. One of my coworker’s phones (who I don’t have to call very much anymore now that I’m someone’s assistant, instead of everyone’s assistant, thank GOD!) does that. It’s the most annoying thing in the world. I mean, it’s kinda cool the first time…when yer like “WTF?! Am I calling the right person?!” But then it’s just annoying.

Why can’t phones just ring like they’re supposed to?

Dude, today is living up to it’s date. It’s a day from hell. Yesterday was day-from-hell Eve.

Gah. Is my boss back from vacation yet? *lol*

See the post below for a guest appearance by Joe. He’ll probably be posting here every once in a while because… well, because I said he could.

Can I go home now?

DART hates me. What appeared to be a normal day home ended up costing me about 40 min in wait-time cuz the stupid train ended up stopped at a station FOR NO REASON AT ALL causing me to miss my connecting train and having to sit outside in the humid heat, which caused me to MISS FREAKING GILMORE GIRLS. lol. DAMNIT.

Oh well, the good news is, I will be able to watch this season on DVD without feeling like I just saw everything. *sigh* oh well.

OK. off to pack! yay! packing!
