I could sense ya'll were foaming at the mouth for an update.....
Pearson called me at my work number Wednesday afternoon to offer me the job. I suppose I'll accept it officially tomorrow, since I haven't heard back from the Englert. I moved cubes last Friday so I'm actually sitting with the rest of my team and people that will talk to me. Which is nice. At first I loathed moving because where I was before I could pretty much slack off and surf the 'net when I got tired of working on a project. I could check my non-company e-mail and LJ at will without fear of someone seeing that I wasn't "on task." But in the last week I've found that the work isn't so bad with people near me now. The days have gone by quicker it seems and I actually feel like a part of things now. Don't get me wrong, I still think this job blows pretty much, but what can ya do? At least I'll be saving money and can get some medical things out of the way. I haven't gotten my eyes checked in at least 10 years...woops.
But now am I gonna need the money? Miss Heather, are you backing out on Chicago?! Lady, I will literally drag you kicking and screaming to the city come August so you can either go willingly or you can fight it like a rabid banshee. Your choice.
A headlining story on MSN earlier today? The possibility of an Iraqi civil war as militant groups become even more violent and outspoken. This is a genious artlce, "Bush's Grand Plan? Incite Civil War in Iraq". While I can't honestly say that I think it's what Bush INTENDED in starting all of this 3 years ago, I do believe this is where his administration is leading Iraq. And unfortunately, he's taking every American down with him. Granted, the article was written just over a year ago, but it appears to have held true and, more importantly, seems to be increasing in poignancy as Shiites and Sunnis continue to clash. This whole thing is just sad. And it's making me absolutely sick to be an American. And it makes me even more sick to see the people who actually support the war......do they not have access to newspapers or TV's? Have they no idea what's actually going on in Iraq and the alleged war on terrorism? By inciting a war on terrorism in the first place, Bush has only succeeded in ensuring that countless future generations will have to continue fighting a war. You can't eradicate every last terrorist on earth, dumbass. Even if Bin Laden is captured or killed, a philosophy won't die out simply because its leader did. What the hell kind of Pandora's Box has Bush opened here? UGH....I just want to beat some sense into his damn head! With an aluminum baseball bat! That's spiked with sharp nails! I kid...I could never inflict physical harm on anyone, but you catch my drift, no?
I'm tired and could literally sleep for a week straight. If only....
I've come to the conclusion that I have a caffeine addiction. For as long as I remember I've always had some sort of headache....a faint, dull throbbing constantly in the back of my head. Not realizing until recently, a soda seems to make me feel much better for several hours. Which totally sucks. I've been trying super hard to cut down on soda but now it seems as though I'm dependent on it. I could quit, but that's why I've been feeling like poo lately. Not quite sick enough to stay home but definitely not comfortable. Sooo, I dunno what I'm gonna do about that. Geesh, what would I do if I was addicted to crack? I complain now, but imagine the withdrawal symptoms of that shit! I need a fix....
