1) Still haven’t scheduled my certification test. Today’s wrench is that I need someone boss-like to sign my authorization to take the test before I can schedule the damned test. And who knows how I’m going to get my hands on a funding source for this boondoggle. APA, please make this be slightly easier than…

AHHHHHHHHH!
Stupid certification. I don’t know when I’m going to take my Super Hard Payroll Exam yet. I (through the subterfuge-iest of subterfurges) figured out that the exam center in Cheesecake City’s last test date is October 6. I need to get that nailed down ASAP, but first I need to apply for the test. And…
Disappointed…
So, I have to get a Super Important Payroll Certification sometime in the next year if I want to keep my job. After a day like today, I’m rather meh on the whole thing anyway. But anyway, this certification is awarded by passing a Super Hard Test That is Very Very Difficult. (Jesus Christ, American…
A few words on journalism…
So, I’ve been reading a bit about the News of the World scandal in the UK (that seems to be spreading to the US) and it just occurred to me…after all of this is over, do you think there will be room for ethical, decent journalists? Not liberal, not conservative, but interested in reporting stories…
Dog Food Dumbass…
So. Three dogs sure do eat a lot of dog food! Last month, apparently on May 29, I ordered about 6 different kinds of dry dog food. The dog food store that was literally at the front of my neighborhood went out of business (sad), but the puppies gotta eat… (I ordered a variety because,…
Frankly, I blame Eric Clapton for this…
(watch out, this may be the blog post to get me kicked out of my family…) So, the other day I was driving around and one of Gene’s Richard Cheese songs came on the iPod. Let’s agree that it was his lounge lizard version of Baby Got Back (which is a pretty good version, until…
Monday grumble…
1) My archrival at work Broomhilda has already asked off the week of Nerd World 2011. So pissed off about this, can barely form words. Broom’s not even going to Nerd World, why does she need that specific week off?? Auuuugh! 2) No really. AUUUUGH. 3) Sometime before Easter I ordered a cute laptop case…
This week
Hey, check it out, it’s Saturday. What I’ve been up to (in no particular order): 1) Badgered Amazon.com into refunding the shipping for Sweet Valley Confidential (yes! It’s the Sweet Valley Twins, all grown up. The book itself is medium awful but I’m loving it. Team Elizabeth!) (ugh, just said Team Elizabeth…loser!) 2) Fooling around…
One day off deserves another…
Ugh, I called in sick again today. I could have made it to work if I’d had a decent night’s rest but I woke up every hour on the hour (I know this because we have an alarm clock that projects the time on our ceiling). I had four freaking teaspoons of cough syrup w/…
Home(ly)
So I decided to stay home sick from work today. It was a collaborative effort between Gene, Ladydoctor (Dr. Hottie’s associate – Dr. H is a difficult ticket to get) and least of all me. Literally, until 9:25 this morning I was going to buck up and go to work anyway (like yesterday, like an…
