So, I hate thinking about retirement at age 26. It's depressing. Therefore, imagine my disgust when I found out that I cannot retire until February 19, 2038. Kill me now. My first 5 years with the NPS do NOT count towards my retirement and at this point, there is no way to buy back my time. So, I just donated 5 years of my life to the federal ( Read more... )

I'm going to be a mommy! And no, sickos, I don't mean I'm pregnant. Bite your tongues and a curse upon you if you thought that. I am adopting two kittens. Things went so well with the manager at the apartment this morning. Here is a summary of things that were going on in my apartment ( Read more... )

Yes, I HATE humidity. My mother told me that I could only use the word "hate" if I could watch that person get hit by a bus and not feel a bit of remorse about it. Well, I DO feel that way about some people, but I'm not sure humidity can literally be hit by a bus. Well, whatever. I wish it would go away. I haven't been doing anything to my ( Read more... )

I want an iPhone!!!! There. I said it. Now, they need to lower in price drastically and get on a better cellphone network than AT&T and I'll wait for the next generation so they work out all the kinks. I've begged Cameron for one only because I want the phone, not necessarily the network it is on, and he is the rational one that reminds me that ( Read more... )

If I get asked one more time as I answer the telephone if we are open today for the 4th of July, I am going to PUKE! No, I'm answering the phone because we're closed!!! If we weren't open, do you think they could pay me enough money to sit here and answer the telephone to simply tell people that are closed?!? I DON'T THINK SO ( Read more... )

Today is my Friday, today is my friday! I get to see my man tonight! Okay...enough excitement. I have 9 hours left in my work day. Ugh. Now I'm depressed. Hopefully the day will go quickly and I will cruising down to Waverly in no time and away from Dayton for 3 days ( Read more... )

So, here is my 3 inch shorter, dyed back to dark brown, new haircut. Sorry about the face that goes with it, but hey, you have to work with what you got :)

Well, my first day back at work after 3 LUSCIOUS days off and all I return to is BAD attitudes. At least by 10:30 a.m. most people had kinda cooled off and relaxed and were actually okay. It also irks me that I dyed my hair and chopped off 3 inches and NO ONE noticed, well, except for Katie - my beloved coworker. It shouldn't matter, but it does ( Read more... )

So, I decided to defy my cultural roots and lay out. I'm sooooo Irish and German that I only burn and then fade back into a darker shade of pale. I laid out for only an hour yesterday - blame it on the fact that it was 97 degrees out and it's BORING laying out - and I have NOTHING to show for it. My legs are still ghostly, but at least being in ( Read more... )

So, last night, I was supposed to go out with some coworkers to this little pub in town to celebrate all the hard work and teamwork that occurred at the park on Thursday. We all came together to really have a great naturalization ceremony at the park. Well, plans kept changing; the starting time for the pub visit kept changing, and when I heard ( Read more... )
