This time tomorrow we’ll be up in the air. Yaaaay! There is still so much to do. I need to pack my carry on bag, finish packing my big bag and – of course – more work! After all the years where I felt like I was going it alone in payroll, it is so…
Month: October 2008
Reasons why I haven’t posted anything of value lately…
1) Packing for the trip. I packed for myself on Sunday and, because he won a bet, I’ll pack for Gene tonight. (Trust me, it was totally worth losing the bet). 2) Work. I know, sometimes all I do is blog about work and the life drain it is. Who wants to hear more about…
Patriotic Chore – Done!
Gene and I voted today at the library. I love early voting because I get it taken care of good and early. The rumor is that 25% of registered voters in Cheesecake City-County have already voted. Amazing. Anyway, if you have not yet voted, I suggest checking out factcheck.org. The site takes an issue and…
I am a freaking loon…
So I got the American Girls catalog (goodness knows why) and it turns out that they are retiring the “Samantha” doll. Samantha is the doll whose clothes and books were all Victorian-era. I positively coveted that doll when I was 10-12 years old (before we moved to the house my parents live in). For whatever…
Is it too late to become a ballerina/astronaut/rock star?
Because payroll? Uuuuuugh. Worst. day. ever. Far worse than the day Gwen demoted me, even. I had a location manager absolutely lay into me. He was rude, downright abusive. I can guaran-fucking-tee that if I had spoken that way to the lowliest of his employees I would be on the street posthaste. The irony is…
Mama told me there’d be days like these…
Ugh… Dog barf at 5 AM (with a repeat show at 8 – so much for getting to work early), payroll all day. Someone wake me up when I need to get on an airplane. (In 16 days. AUGH…!!!!) So, I’ve been extra anxiety filled lately. I have woken up anxious (that is, worried) three…
A crazy dream…
So I dreamt (dreamed? one of those) that Gene and I were flying to Malaysia via Germany (which we are). I know our itinerary pretty thoroughly and I know that the planes are big ones (which YES is at least 10% of the reason I agreed to this silliness) and I am really really looking…
Holy Crap…
(Sorry, gentle readers! There is simply no other way to title this) Ball State University, alma mater to both David Letterman and your friend LaineyD, is the #24th ranked college football team. And NO, not in Delaware County, Indiana, but in the entire country. And by country, I mean the United States, not some sort…
Suddenly, I get it…
I mentioned awhile ago that I now live in a tenatively blue state (WTF?) so I can’t just write in Stephen Colbert when I vote later this month because, really, the state’s definitely going to go red so why not have some fun? Anyway, while I don’t think I can vote for McCain, I wasn’t…
What??
Since when do I live in a blue state??? Yikes, and the exit polls are saying it’s close. I may have to actually choose a real candidate and not write in a TV show host. Dammit. The truth is, I don’t know who I’m voting for (sorry Mom). I hope that regardless of the winner…
