Okay, I tried to post the other day, just to be consistent, and I somehow managed to erase everything I'd one before I posted it. A good 20 or 30 minutes of typing, down the drain. Cripes. It reminded me of the Halloween party a friend had-I was in their basement, playing Grand Theft Auto. The idea, see, is that you have two cars in a basement garage and you drive one of them around and well, you know, do some unsavory stuff. Drive by shootings, drug deals, prostitutes and the like. Well, I'd had a couple of drinks, and I was a tad high. Long story short, somehow I managed to wrestle hand grenades out of my pockets and blow up both my cars in the garage in the space of about one minute. When asked to explain, of course I couldn't. This was met with uproarious laughter.
I didn't laugh when my post disappeared, but you see the connection, right? Sigh.
Basically it was just a rundown of good things and bad things for the week. The good pretty much outweighed the bad, I'm happy to say.
I had a free burrito from Taco Del Mar for dinner on Friday-the best day and the best way to eat them. I saw a good play with ma pere, and the headache I had developed before going finally went away. I came home and ate some ice cream, which I had been craving. Before all that, I left work early to meet the exterminator, who turned out to be very honest, and told me we had no signs of problems. Saturday morning I slept in, Saturday afternoon I met up with my best friend from high school and we watched Labyrinth, and I finally made concrete plans to have one of her Party Lite parties. And Sunday, I mostly just laid around. Nice. I also found out by looking at statements and what not, that I should have all of my old debt paid off in about a year. How great will it be to have a real cash flow again? To not have to automatically deduct three hundred dollars from your paycheck? To save money? To have money to save? I can't wait.
Of course, I somehow didn't even merit an interview with the UW for a lousy office assistant job. I'm not sure how that happened. But, after being miffed and cursing the name of everyone who worked there, and being a little paranoid that I had an unseen enemy in the HR department, I figured I have to believe that something better is coming soon. I hope so, because it gets to be a real challenge not to speak my mind at work.
