Work email gripe

cc-ing your boss…kinda dirty because you want them to keep track of what's being asked of them (something I don't really mind, I feel like my boss and I are in the mess together)... BUT cc-ing your boss, your boss' boss AND the general manager when you don't get the answer you want. Just plain DIRT-YYY. It creates more hell for my boss than me, but still, do you need to get everyone and their brother involved!? I'm not sure what you're trying to help... I feel like you do that more to get people in trouble. =P

I truly believe...

that when God gave Snyder’s of Hanover the idea to make the Honey Mustard & Onion flavored pretzel pieces He was thinking of me… Another thing that lets me know God loves me an wants me to be happy ;)

EVIL words

Evil word #1: Career. The dreaded C-word. "What do you want to do with your life?" I DON'T KNOW. There's not a one thing I can imagine doing for the rest of my life and being happy. There are things I think it would be fun to do for a while....but not as a career. I don't think I could make a career out of the things I like to do. I'm not motivated enough to start my own business or go searching for a place that will let me follow my dreams (like news anchors that move to the middle of nowhere to get their start). I like to talk about stuff like museum curators or docents or tour guides. Hmmm. Maybe I have to the gift of teaching...but not the gift of liking kids. (FML) Maybe I just want to make money so I can go places. That's all I really want to do...go places.

Evil word #2: Date. Uh-oh, it's the D-word!! So we're friends..."friends"...and perhaps we may be interested in each other. We hang out. We can eat together and watch movies and y'know, whatever you do on dates... Oh, the splendor of mystery & what-if. But once you say the word 'date' you add pressure: It has to go well; You're testing the waters; It's a means to an end... I don't like pressure. How about we legitimately try being friends first before you just try to maul me, hm? Fricken hormones....

Evil word #3: Love. Ok, so this word isn't evil in & of itself. I don't actually think love is evil but that word is so misused and tossed around like it's nothing that it makes me ill. To keep this brief, I won't go into everything I think about this subject, but love isn't just a warm fuzzy feeling. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." If you can say that about your love after a couple of months, bravo. YOU are pretty darn special...(Gag me)

I'm cleaning and unpacking

Yesterday I was out cuz I had an appointment, I had a thing at church, my friend was having a get together...
but today I'm staying in because there is nothing in the outside of my apartment world where my presence is required.

Mom: "You're just staying in today?"
Me: "Yeah, I have nothing to do."

-- does that not seem like a legitimate answer to the question? --

Mom: "You have plenty to do! You have to do your unemployment and find a job. There are plenty of jobs to be looked for! ...." etc etc...
Me: "ok! I KNOW. I just said I was going out today."

She wonders why I sound upset.

I am very aware that I have no source of income. & I so adore getting that shoved in my face in every conversation we have. Thanks for the reminder...

Negative reinforcement is not a motivator for me.

lemon yellow snot

I know I have a sinus infection, but seriously, the stuff coming out of my nose is just not of nature. It looks like the paintings Laura has on the living room floor right now: layers of dandelion...and fricken NEON yellow! (I'd post a picture, but that's just too much effort for me right now so you get font color changes...er, not of the snot, of the paintings, geez.)

I know I'm not the only one that has had this issue since I googled it, but still, the world may be a better place if my mucus glands would calm the frick down! Someone was wondering if the color change was due to their chemo...omg what is wrong with me!? I have nooooo idea how the body produces such an unnatural color!

I can't go to the doctor cuz I have no insurance (and who wants to pay for that...?) so how many oranges do I have to eat!?

You know you're lazy...

when you'd rather just buy new underwear than do a few loads of laundry.

our machines are expensive! so i drive 20 minutes to do laundry and you have to wait for it and fold it and bring it home to hang up and oh my gosh--too much effort...i'm a bum.

fml

remember the part where i said i'd be better at this? lies.

but anyway, little update:
my company is restructuring...and they have been since last October...and our company makes things that are totally luxury/expensive/unnecessary which means that in this economy, business is down (duh)...but my department is always busy no matter how slow orders are, there are always problems! buuuuut apparently that isn't enough for job security because they moved my whole department up to our windows plant.

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't feel like I was just being the bitch in this situation by not being part of my department, technically, but still having to do all the old work. I have to clean up everything pending and then they'll figure out what to do with us.

Let's see, i hate my job...but I think I'd hate everyone elses' job more...mainly because I hate my company, or mainly the people they hire as managers. I thought these people got degrees in this crap... I'm sure they want to make us miserable so we'll quit, or offer us jobs we don't want so that we can't be laid off. I want my unemployment, can't they just lay me off alreadyyyy!???

oh my gosh, who asks to get laid off.......
