Last night I was so psyched to watch Dale Jr on 60 Minutes. Unfortunately my worst fears were confirmed. He’s a Republican! Ech. But at least he went to see Farenheit 9/11 to keep a somewhat open mind.
On the other hand I did get to see the other side of his house, and it has a wrap around porch!! Anyone who knows me knows that I die for wrap around porches. His property is sick. There’s all this green grass and just land, and a pool, plus this little race track for his go carts(??) Anyway. I might be able to overlook the Republican thing, I mean look at James Carville and his wife, he’s a total Democrat and his wife is a Republican, they still love each other.
There was some good news though, he doesn’t have “boobs” anymore, in other words, no girlfriend. Something I’ve always known about him is how badly he wants to be married. He’s never said it outright like that, but you can just tell from the way he says things and how he says things. It’s really sweet.
At work: It’s like the blind leading the blind around here. They have no idea what they’re doing with this new computer system. You’d swear they were learning how to put a rocket together or something. It’s so sad. And none of their dumbasses goes “hmm, maybe I should just look it up in the MANUAL” They’d just rather complain, complain, complain. ‘Cause that really speeds things up and helps them learn.
So it looks like tonight I’m going with Elise and Sarah to see Still Life Projector play at Imusicast. Should be interesting. Sarah likes one of the dudes in the band and think they’re friends with all of them. Hot dudes in eyeliner. Jolly good fun. ![]()
So I finally got my couch today. I ordered it in July so it’s about frickin time. A couple odd things of note. 1.) the guys who delivered the couch weren’t your standard young dudes, no I got two guys who looked like they’d been grampa’s for awhile, maybe in their sixties. They were tall and in good shape, I almost thought they’d be good dates for my mom, hah
2.) the couch’s color was and wasn’t what I expected. I had a swatch before I bought it, but it’s not the same as seeing the thing completely covered in it. So it’s like this red/orangey color. It reminds me of the car I drove in high school, it would go between orange and red, hence the name “the betsey couch” betsey was the name of my car in high school. *sigh* ahh.. the memories with that car. I miss her.
I don’t get how someone can just go stupid all of a sudden. Take my soon to be ex-boss (ex ’cause she’s going to a different dept/company) for example. Today she emails me saying to credit a customer for october. Like hello, we’re not even in October yet. She, for some insane, inane reason, thought that we billed people the month before their ad ran on the site. Now, she’s been with us for a year, the fact that she thinks that is completely and utterly SAD. Even after I explained to her what & when I had billed these people she was still like “well i don’t want them to billed for something that they’re not getting”… wacko. How can they be billed for something that I haven’t billed yet??
The guy that I used to think was hot at work had a baby. Well I still think he’s hot, but he’s kinda dopey. Anyway. They had a boy, named him Lukas. Which is soo cute, and annoying ’cause I like that name, but no matter.
Today he brought around photos and the kid is so cute! I want one! waah! Ok not, right now, but ya know “one day”. You kinda need a guy for that, so I’ll wait till I find a decent one.
Anywhooo. I spent the weekend crocheting. Whenever my mother or I get the urge to crochet it usually means that someone is pregnant. It’s happened twice with me, once with my sister was pregnant with her third child I believe and then the other time was my sisters friend. But maybe it’s just me wanting a baby. I don’t really, really want one now of course, but if I was married and I could stay home I’d want a baby. It’d be cool.
I just realized something about my soon to be non-boss. I don’t want/need another mother and I know that that’s something that she tries/tried to be to us. It works on Gibler ’cause her mother doesn’t live nearby (and she seems to be completely different from her mom anyway) but I’m not having any part of it. I think it also goes back to not wanting to feel like I’m 12 or something.
Dumping syndrome is a bitch. I just had some chocolate milk and I feel like shit. I knew I would feel like shit but I had to have it. I was craving chocolate milk, but now I don’t want it anymore. It was still worth it though. ![]()
Today is Jamie’s birthday. Happy Birthday Jamie!
Everybody except for the head boss dude is gone. I, of course, am still here. The little advert hootchies left at 3 ’cause they couldn’t take the new ad system. Kimmie in particular was just “too tired” to go on. Right.
I got fantabulous news today. My couch (although it’s technically called a “daybed) is finally ready to be delivered to me! So they’re going to deliver it on Wednesday. They’re going to call me Monday to set up a timeframe. I can’t wait. It’ll be so great to sit on a couch again. The chair I got from Cost Plus is good, but I’ll finally feel semi-normal now with an actual couch in my place. Would you like to see it? Click Here. I got it in the “Pottery” color which is more of a red color, not the one shown on the main page. I think you can check out the swatches. I hope it looks good. I have to move my bookshelves over, oh and that reminds me I should get my mom’s tape measure to make sure it’ll fit. I actually want it to be big, they say you should get big pieces of furniture for small spaces. It’s been so long since I checked it out at the store.
So DS officially can’t do the show, they’re touring again. I finally got around to emailing Jesse and told him to let me know if it was an official “no” from the entire band. I haven’t heard back from him yet, but I’m hoping he reads it today and talks to the guys today and responds, TODAY!
I still have no idea what I’m going to do about that show. It’s so annoying.
Ah yes, everybody is now offically out of the office. Although that means that I should leave too. I kind of don’t mind being here when everybody’s gone. I can freely surf the web.
Just heard from SAP, and they’re available to do the show. So that’s 3 bands so far. I wish FT would just do it, I’d feel sooo much better about the whole thing. Oh well, who cares about that when I get to go home and have my choice of a potsticker, french fries, mini corn dog nuggets or a fish fillet. Ahh, I love choices ![]()
On Seinfeld, there’s this saying that George’s dad uses “Serenity Now!”, cracks me up, and I said it to myself at work today, soo funny and yet so appropriate.
This morning when I came in no one was here. It was great. It lasted until about 10 or 11 something. I turned on the TV, ’cause I felt like it. I accidentally spilled orange juice on my jeans so I went home for lunch. I figured if Rox or Kim was here when I got back it would be off, but Kimmie Gibler is here and it’s still on. Shocking.
I found this great job ad on craigslist that I really, really want. I’m not going to talk about it too much because if I don’t get an interview I’ll be annoyed that I said anything about it at all.
I gotta get that book “He’s Just Not That Into You” from that dude who was on Oprah yesterday. His book is now the #1 selling thing on Amazon.com because of Oprah. Gosh, if I could get on Oprah with just ONE of my ideas I’d be a friggin millionaire.
