Like an idiot! This “Big Payroll Year-End Cold” is just MEAN. And Walgreens not having any orange push pops is VERY MEAN. I stopped there after work for some more Mucinex and they didn’t have any. I totally should have just gone to the grocery store. Ugh, I’m so ridiculously crabby right now! I wish…
Category: Life in Cheesecake City
From inside my head…
(For the record, a number of these “thoughts” have popped up this weekend while I’ve been dozing in bed as I have been sick since, let’s say Friday night) 1) I need $1000 for a purse. Where do I get $1000? 2) I bet that textbooks that were used by students in the former Soviet…
Things I have done this week…
Holy cow, it’s Friday. WOOHOO! 1) Wednesday, we had to print all of the paychecks that normally print in our Midwest office. Lots of scurrying and insanity ensued, finally ending at 7 pm when we made our UPS salesman (?) pick up our 40 packages and drive them to the UPS center at the Cheesecake…
Grumble grumble GRUUMMMMMMBLE…
Ugh, it is February first, we are one-twelfth of the way through 2011, why can’t 2010 just end already???!?!? Here is something aggravating… let’s say that you’re a client of my employer and one of your employees has an incorrect W-2 (yes, it is that time of year so I’m going to talk about W-2s!!!)….
Good things come in threes…
You heard it here first…(well, actually Facebook heard it first)… dog #3 is coming to live with us on February 12th or 13th. Her name is Sadie, she is a hound mix (definitely some beagle, probably some shepherd) and she is two years old. Gene and I met her and her foster parents last weekend….
So much food…
So, restaurant week is over halfway finished and I must say, I think Gene may very well end up the big winner (for reasons other than being married to me). Monday, dinner was at a local restaurant that we have visited before. Gene had the prime rib and I had a terrifyingly large portion of…
Cheesecake City Restaurant Week
Before I even start this post, I’m going to make an aside: This is my first weekend since Thanksgiving that I haven’t had to work. YAY! Yesterday was magic, better than Christmas even, and today is shaping up to be good, too. So anyway, Cheesecake City Restaurant Week started Friday and runs through a week…
Sorry about that…
So, I was talking to my mother recently. She gently reminded me that I was incorrect in my Year in Review post for 2010. The question about “Did anyone close to (me) die in 2010?”, I’d answered no and unfortunately I was wrong. The younger of my mother’s two older brothers passed away right before…
Saving the house from disaster…
So, Sunday I was sitting in my chair at home, White Dog in my lap and one of the dogs next to me. I notice that the battery power on the laptop is at 97% so I unplug the cord and plug it back in. (Ideally, the cord has a little light that glows tan…
Big Payroll
Something I told The Almighty D (which reminds me…) the other day while we were IMing: Me: How’s your day going? D: Same stuff, different day Me: At New Company, the version of that is, “New stuff, every day, where’s the alcohol?” Seriously. It is cuh-ray-zee there, every day. I left yesterday at 7:20, narrowly…
