i wish i knew who was taking you home
I got home from an extremely long day of work, meetings and running and I was so tired I could barely move. But it was only 8pm, so I was puzzled as to why I was so exhausted. Then I remembered that I slept exactly 24 minutes last night. I was so wired that my jaw is sore. No, I didn't do lines off Justin Timberlake's six pack. Those days ended months ago. My theory is that I may have accidentally taken a second dose of ritalin yesterday afternoon when I was taking my vitamins and allergy meds. I think I just got all wrapped up in opening bottles that I opened the ritalin and didn't notice. DUDE. If I am gonna be a Pharm junkie, the least I could do is get my shit together and at least pay attention to what I am taking. Jeez. But I do have a certifiable defense. I spaced what pills I was taking because I HAVE ADHD. Really. I have been diagnosed. It's real. My doctor (and WebMD) tol' me so. But thats why I am all zombie brained now.
Speaking of which, a few nights ago I stayed up until 3am watching 28 Weeks Later. Given, its a mediocre movie, but zombie movies scare me like nothing else on the planet. When I was 9, I saw Dawn of the Dead and have never been the same. To this day, shopping malls still creep me out because I am scared of some zombie popping out and biting my shoulder while I am standing in front of Hotdog on a Stick thinking to myself, "Should I? or Shouldn't I?"
So, one of the tasks of my summer assistantship is to make a MS Access database to be used by the people who run some program for undergraduate and graduate science students at the University. Or something. I am no Access whiz, but I can stumble around enough and then I have The BedMate to help me out when I get stuck. Its a pretty sweet deal. Pay for 20 hours/ week, but actually doing 8 hours of work. Anyway. At the request of one of the people I work for, I made a report that displays all data available for each student. Its simple, but still fancy. Each student has their own page and each page clearly shows what data is available and what data is missing. Its fab. Its great. Its exactly what they want. Except. When I show it to them, the first thing out of their mouth is, "Can we make those boxes blue?" Someone else responded, "Blue? Really? I think they should be green." Um. Hello? Can we look at the content of the report and comment on how fabulous it is and how I have given you exactly what you want? But no. You wanna talk to me about the shit color of some shit boxes. I was agog. I sputtered, "... Uh... Er... Well... Yeah, we can make them whatever color you want."
*inhales deeply* I am a tree. I can bend. *cleansing exhale*
In other news, I bought a new pair of wrap pants. They feature purple and gold dragons. For reals.
So. There is this dude Doug. We have hung out a few times. He's cool (although he owns a house in Palm Springs, which screams Gay Retirement Community to me, but I digress). He has been sending me forwards for the past few days, which is a bit annoying, but today he dropped this bomb in my box. I don't think I will ever see him again. LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE.
