9/29/2005 Oh, and happy birthday, Lyndsey! posted 6:49 PM / post / view (0) How much sense does it make to require residents to give two months notice on their lease? Mine expires on December 20. I don't know yet if I'm staying, and I'm sure as hell not signing another lease two months in advance just to find out that I got another job and I'm moving by December, before the first even runs out. That's stupid. Gah. Like I'm not anxious as it is. If you don't know what I'm talking about... don't worry, you're in the majority. All will be made clear... later. posted 6:45 PM / post / view (0) 9/23/2005 Does anyone else think maybe the world might be ending? posted 2:31 PM / post / view (0) 9/22/2005 Today was rough. I've been busier at work lately; which, in a way, is good. The more stuff I have to receive every day, the more we're selling. But I don't think there's been a day this week where the receiving hasn't taken at least an hour and a half to 2 hours. And that's tiring. And on the days I'm also supposed to be doing the deposit, that means I'm on my feet with pretty much no break from 9:30 to 2:30. I was hoping I could get out a little early today, but no... the other girl in the office got sent home because she was upset about a court date tomorrow (a custody thing), so I couldn't leave. And then dad came out and yelled at me so the whole office could hear. I can handle a lot of things, but nothing breaks me down like hearing him yell at me. It's always been that way, ever since I was little. Yelling back only makes it worse; all you can do is take it and handle it the best you can afterwards. So I went to the bathroom and cried for 10 minutes. Then finished the deposit and picked us up lunch. Yeah, I still bought him lunch after that. Don't ask me why. The worst part, I think, is that once he's done, he acts like it never happened. An hour later, he acts like there's nothing wrong at all, and you can forget an apology. Well, damn it, I deserve one. And I'm going to ask for one. I'm sorry I screwed up, but honestly, it wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately, it's something that's happened a couple of times before. But it was certainly not worth humiliating me in front of my coworkers. On another note... my car's been in the shop all week, but it's supposed to be finished tomorrow sometime. I've been driving a Ford Explorer all week (it's a nice change, but I don't think I'd want one). Hopefully mom will drive me out to drop off the rental and pick up my car tomorrow afternoon. God, I can't wait for the weekend. posted 11:14 PM / post / view (0) 9/17/2005 My Dear Friend
Oh, my dear friend, I've missed you so... posted 1:06 AM / post / view (0) 9/15/2005 Argh! Something went to town on me last night while I was sleeping. I've got, like, 10 bites on my feet and right leg. The itching is driving me nuts. Not to mention the fact that I now know there was something in my bed last night... Ugh. I hate bugs!!! posted 11:35 PM / post / view (1) For someone who was an English major, I sure do have the hardest time making myself write in this thing. I can't decide if it's just that I don't like it or if it's just the procrastination thing. Mostly, I think it's that it seems like more effort than it's worth because I rarely have anything important to say. And I think Don just put a hole in his trashcan with a power drill... Sorry, I'm posting from work. Random observation. Anyway. I had a lovely three-hour family dinner last night. Yes, three hours. Our family dinners generally take that long. Anyone who's met my family will understand. But fortunately, I was in a relatively good mood and was able to enjoy most of it. I did get bored at times... But not irritated, and that's always an improvement. Here's a couple of random facts about myself that occurred to me today. Maybe you'll learn something. First, I'm the kind of girl who won't leave the house without make-up (I mean, EVER), but it only takes me 20-30 minutes to get ready in the morning. I get up at 7:15 and leave around 7:45. And second, when I do the daily deposit at work, I organize the checks by size, always. Well, that makes some sense, you might say. Ah, but I don't arrange by dollar amount. But by the physical size of the check. Tall in the back, short in the front, etc. Yeah, I'm odd. I have a tiny dent in the side of my car and three or four scrapes in the paint (nothing serious), that covers a length of about 1 foot. And my estimate for repair is $1100. How crazy is that? And there's a $500 deductible. That's not even worth $500 to me. I have to call and make the appointment tomorrow so I can hopefully take it in Monday, but I think I'll check with dad first and make sure he's paying the deductible. 'Cause I don't want to get stuck with that at the last minute... Ugh. And one more random thing before I go... the waitress at dinner last night told me that I reminded her of Christina Ricci. Which is weird. And someone else has told me that before. But I don't see it. Okay, it's almost time to leave now. Yay! posted 5:50 PM / post / view (0) 9/4/2005 I find myself missing Paris at the most random times. |
