Holly Came From Miami F-L-A, Hitchhiked Her Way Across the U-S-A
Plucked her eye-brows on the way, shaved her legs and then he was a she, she said "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side."
Note to self, avoid all women named Holly. Thanks for the warning Lou Reed.\
Ok, so my craziness is slowly fading, as expected. I feel like my public venting of craziness helped. I still am keeping a watchful eye out, which I guess is good, as long as it doesn't interfere with anything else. Damn bugs.
Also, I bought a guitar yesterday. Nothing fancy or too expensive, it was on sale at BB&B (Bed Bath & Beyond, I shop there so much I feel I have the right to abbreviate). For $80 I got an acoustic guitar (Gibson, but nothing fancy at all), which came with a carrying case, a strap, a few picks, extra strings, and an instructional DVD, which was the most important part, and the deciding factor in the purchase. The only way I would learn the guitar is if I had someone to watch and learn from. Classes cost way too much (in the range of $300 or more for only 12 one hour sessions), and since with sessions I would have to practice at home anyway, might as well just try to go for it on my own. I am planning on attacking this much like I attacked the gym, every day for at least an hour a day, starting off slow and working my way up. I started with the first lesson of tuning the guitar and then working the standard c scale. I will move onto basic chords once I can get through the scale backwards and forwards without messing up. I am kind of proud of myself for taking this step. I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar, and I have always kind of blamed my parents for letting me quit the guitar lessons they signed me up for when I was but a young boy. Imagine how awesome I could be now if I had never quit. But anyway, I am learning now, and hopefully I will get to a point where I can learn songs, which is do-able, as long as I keep to a planned hour or more a day 5-6 days a week as planned (with an obvious break for Israel).
This statement is written in red. This is a red statement.
This week at work is going to be a pretty "empty office" week. Yesterday there were maybe 15-20 agents up on my floor at the "peak" of the day. People are still doing business apparently, I guess they need the money more then the free time. Talk about f'ed up priorities. The worst part about this is, the majority of the people in the office for the majority of the day are the extremely stupid and annoying ones. The ones who can't do anything on their own and need my help every step of the way. Not only that, but I was the only staff person on the floor all day, so I had to absorb all of the stupidity. And there is one agent who sits right by my desk, and she is one of those people who can never ask for anything nicely, and EVERYTHING is a problem. Think the old SNL skit "The Whiners", but only not funny and actually happening, and no Joe Piscapo. And she has a really nasty habit of coming into the office no earlier then 3:30, sometimes later. So she calls me up yesterday at like 1pm, the start of my lunch break, and asks me if I will be able to copy something tomorrow (today). So I figure I was not going to see her at all that day, which was nice, because I hate dealing with her as much as I hate everything else about her. By 4:00, I was dead set on leaving 15 minutes early because the stupids were all gone, and there was nothing for me to do. At 4:30, who should walk in AND have work for me to do? That's right, the agent who I was just complaining about (what, you were expecting Godzilla?). SO ANNOYING! Maybe if she was a better person I wouldn't have a problem, but she is a terrible person, the kind that should be fired out of cannons, frequently. Today one of the other staff members on my floor will be here, and I will not have to take this all myself. of course there will probably be no stupids here either. And then bedbugs will take me hostage.
Yesterday's AND Today's Entries:
Hershfanging - To go completely off the deep end, with limited abilities to do otherwise, over something that is really not that big of a deal. usually as a result of lacking control over a situation and resulting in everyone else thinking you are much more insane then previously thought.
"Everything was going fine until I found out I had bedbugs and I started hershfanging to the point of throwing away some very valuable stuff, just because it might not get clean enough."
Diving For Prairie Oysters - When in a panicked state, one might stick his/her head between their own legs and start to breathe, which is used to calm someone down. This is the term used to describe such an action.
"I couldn't take the pressure anymore, so right in the middle of my office, I went diving for Prairie oysters."
