the good, the bad, and the dorky
If anyone bothers me today at work, I am TOTALLY going to sic Bobblehead!Dwight on them all. After all, he's a skilled fighter, and he can bore people to death with minutae about The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars and shit. GO DWIGHT GO! God, I love Rainn Wilson. <333
GOOD NEWS: I do not have to sit in my office this week, which is AWESOME, because now I'm not right next door to the construction. YAY! I might survive this week without a migraine! That would be nice, because you bet your ass I went home with another headache last night. And that's uber-annoying, because I wanted to watch the latest episode of The 4400 last night (shut up, I finally got into the show last weekend, and OMG it is made of awesome). But now I am in Momboss's office, and the noise is MUCH BETTER. :)
BAD NEWS: Momboss is in Nashville this week, taking a Social Security exam. This is why I get to sit in her office this week. However, this also means that I have to deal with all the crazies, and because the Social Security Administration likes to send out their denial letters in batches, everyone is calling and complaining. I also have a HUGE stack of appeals to get through, but I am MIGHTY and STRONG and can handle ANYTHING.
GOOD NEWS: I took half a Valium this morning after it took me almost two hours before I could finally get up from my desk and GET MY COFFEE. So now I'm a bit more mellow than I was, oh, thirty minutes ago, when I wanted to stab my eyes out with a pair of scissors.
BAD NEWS: The last episode of Doctor Who? Meh. Not really BAD, but not really good, either, though I think that has something to do with the fact that I'd like to see David Tennant in EVERY SINGLE FRAME of an episode. Well, I would. Shut up.
GOOD NEWS: I am totally going to Marie Leveau's for lunch today. hlynna tipped me off to this place, and it is the best damn restaurant ever. Creole/Cajun food, served to perfection, and in an atmosphere that's warm and colorful and relaxed. Plus, they play awesome music: last time I was in there, I heard Aimee Mann, Zero 7, and a wicked cover of "Monday, Monday" by Matthew Sweet and Susannah Hoffs. They even serve beignets for breakfast, though they're nowhere NEAR as good as the ones you can get at Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. And you know what? That makes me happy, in a silly way, because it's like some things truly are sacred. :)
