Sadly I have a problem with internet shopping. Tonight I decided to unwind by buying a $80 dress from Ann Taylor. I don't know why I did it, but it was calling to me. In the last two months I've purchased two dresses from Ann Taylor and I don't really need a third but I figured, "What the hell." I guess that my day at work was rather hectic, so I deserved that overpriced piece of clothing. Hopefully I'll get it by my birthday, but if not, oh well. My birthday gift to myself is a nameplate necklace from Israel but I haven't ordered it yet. I have no idea what kind of font I want to use, so until then I'll be holding off on my order. I had a nameplate necklace for many years, but somehow it ended up getting lost. I have a feeling that when I was dating Matt, I left it over at his place and it was never returned. He had a pair of my earrings and he told me that if I didn't go out with him he wouldn't return them. They were roman glass earrings and I wanted them back badly, so I sucked it up and went out with him. I did get the earrings back, but in hindsight I don't know if it was worth it.
Work was somewhat crazy today. I did get a couple of leads (which made me very very happy.) At the end of the day, this crazy dude comes into my office to get his graduation clearance but he hadn't turned in a resume. I explained to him that I couldn't sign off until I had that resume and he got a huge attitude with me. He called his dingbat girlfriend to try to attach it and send it to me, but she didn't "get how to do it," so it never got sent. I finally realized that I was acting like a complete and utter cunt, and I just needed to chill out, so I told him, "Forget it." I made him promise to send it to me and he was very sincere about getting it to me as quickly as possible. I do have moments where I realize that I am being a bitch and I have to put myself in check. I remember being in college and having to deal with bureaucratic bullshit, and just getting tired and worn out. I don't want to be like that, and I never want a student to think that I'm not trying to help him.
Other than that I'm pretty tired and getting ready for graduation. It's amazing how many graduates we have who don't want to job search. The economy is so horrible that I would think that they would want to find something, but alas, they turn their noses up and refuse to return my phone calls. Today I discovered how delicious grape soda is, and how I could probably live off of it but I'd get diabetes. I went to the Dollar tree store and had a field day. If you like crafts and putting together bulletin boards, it's the place to go. I bought a bunch of stuff for our boards, and then I proceeded to buy candy for my candy dish on my desk. That will be gone within two days. I bought toothpaste, spring decorations and pop rocks.
I am so excited about the finale of "Big Love." I've grown to love that show so much, and the characters are very endearing. It bugs me when people pick on polygamists because they know nothing about their culture or their lifestyle. It's not like they're all "bad people," who have sex with their cousins or fuck 15 year old girls. I like the way that the show portrays a "functional," polygamist family. The actors are amazing and the writing is brilliant. I've been watching quite a bit of showtime too. I love, "The L Word," and "The United States Of Tara." I guess that I will continue paying for Showtime because I'm really digging all of their shows. Okay, it's my bedtime now. I will write more when I get the chance.
