Between being broke, traveling to experience my bff's family drama first hand, having a convalescing kitty and moving, I need some time away. Charmane's friends invited us up to their cabin in Maine, the same place we spent New Year's Eve, and I'm so grateful for it. I was supposed to hang out with friends this Friday night, but I'm going to have ( Read more... )

just had a GREAT employee review!! my boss said i'm doing really well. he had some little gripes because sometimes i just leave the office and abandon the Mayor, forgetting that sometimes he shouts out because he needs coffee or files or phone calls made while he's in there. but other than that, he really didn't have much else to say. i believe the ( Read more... )

I'm in a great mood. No rain's gonna kill it. i'm feeling so blessed right now. And I sort of hate when people say that. Like you know you say, "Good morning, how are you?" and they respond, "I'm blessed." and it's usually black women around my job who are about to catch an attitude with you in the very next sentence. And while they're berating me ( Read more... )

i was going to get my hair cut today but i looked in my bank account and uh oh... brokeness! i don't really trust anyone to do it for the first time other than a professional so i'll try and go to this shop tomorrow ( Read more... )

ugh, I hate outsourcing. I hate calling for customer service only to get "George" in India asking me what state I'm in 4 times. I know it's a horrible thing to say, but I'm all for America on this. Sometimes the language barriers are just too great and I'm so frustrated that I would rather bang my head against the wall than talk to a live person ( Read more... )

This weekend proves to be a great one. I'm gonna check out a strip club in Danbury with some friends tonight. It sucks because I REALLY want to be there with Lila, but she has to work graveyard tonight. I hate her job sometimes! But I'll try to make it through without her. it'll be hard, but I'm sure the girls will get me through this rough time ( Read more... )

not to speak too quickly, but I'm doing really well with money this week. I've spent only about $100 since I got paid last week. I'm going to look at desks at Target tonight, since I've been putting that off since I moved, then a bit will go to rent, and I'm not going out this weekend so that saves a big chunk. I've been a bit incognegro this week ( Read more... )

The longer I work in this office, the more I see how much it would benefit me to be bilingual. I've always wanted to learn Spanish. I'm actually surprised that I've lived in Hartford my whole life and still can't speak it fluently, but now working here I can see that I could go so much further being bilingual. Not to mention when and if I start ( Read more... )

today was...wow. this whole week has just been off the charts ( Read more... )

I was just reading a story about how a woman is trying to ban Harry Potter from school libraries because she feels the book promotes witchcraft as a religion. I understand her concerns. I've never read Harry Potter books, but I've seen a couple of the movies. I wouldn't say they promoted witchcraft, but I guess if you were an impressionable child, ( Read more... )
