All dressed up, ready for work

Lately I’ve been sleeping through my alarm in the morning. I have it set to go off to a local radio morning show, Sarah and No Name. You wouldn’t believe the strange dreams I have from listening to them subconsciously while I am still slumbering. Those are some fucking odd ass dreams, let me tell you. But anyway, moving a long. I eventually end up waking up, with plenty of time to get my ass out of bed and get to work on time.

Only this is not how any of my mornings have been going for the past few months. I’m now usually anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes late. I lay in bed listening to Sarah and No Name talking about whatever random shit happens to be on their minds that morning, or to which ever guest they have on and falling back asleep. Yeah, I know. I’m a fucking lazy bitch in the morning. I’m a night person, if you couldn’t tell just now. Getting up in the morning is a chore for me that usually involves the hitting of the snooze button, several times, if I actually wake up with the alarm going off.

This morning was no different, only without the odd Sarah & No Name dream. I think I finally got my ass out of bed at 8:30. I’m supposed to be at work by 9. Well, actually by 7, but as long as I get there by 9 I can still put my 8 hours in for the day. Whatever. Keep your comments to yourself. If you could get away with it, you’d do the same thing!

So it’s a sure bet that I’m going to be late this morning, but that doesn’t make me get up any faster. I just remembered that my boss is out of the office and will not be back until after the New Year. I do eventually get my ass in the shower, clothed, and then off to work. After a pit stop at Starbucks for 2 iced vente quad soy carmel macchiato’s. I was going to need all the help I could get today.

I finally pulled into work about 9:30.

But something looks a little off. There’s only one fucking car in the whole parking lot! The CFO’s car.

What the…???

I even drive to the back parking lot where all the production people park.

No cars.

Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me!

Fancy that, eh. Today was a holiday because of Christmas being on Monday. And I had no fucking clue!

Yeah...'Cause I'm special like that!

Well, since I was up and out of the house, I might as well go and run them errands that I was too lazy to do over the weekend. So I headed to Wal-Mart and picked up all the things I needed. Then I came home and finally balanced my checkbook (I had a month of receipts in my wallet) and paid some of my bills that needed immediate attention. I liked it better when my checkbook looked like I had thousands of dollars, but whatever. Such an eventful day!

So that was how my day started today, and since I ran across a survey called The Soundtrack To Your Life, I figured what the hell! I might as well fill it out and see just what my life’s soundtrack would sound like. It works like this: You put your iPod, iTunes, WinAmp, or whatever mp3 player you use on your computer to shuffle, random, or whatever your setting is…filling out the list from top to bottom. Fill out the first one, hit next on your player filling in the next song, and so on, without skipping over any songs! You might get a song that you’re like, “How in the hell did that song get on there?!” Tough, list it!

What's your soundtrack?

Little Miss Muffett

Let me tell you, I did not go seeking this one out! I found this one earlier this week quite unexpectedly.

This one was feeling quite at home with itself in a blanket that I keep at work. It's not a big blanket, it's just one of those airline blankets that I use to cover my legs up to try an keep warm when the damn air conditioning is killing me. I haven't had to use the blanket in a while since I was in an office all to myself and closed the damn vent so I couldn't feel the air conditioning.

Anyway, that is a whole 'nother story I could bitch about, but moving on...

I usually keep my blanket folded up and draped over my chair. Every once in a while it ends up falling down and bunched up on my chair. I'm usually too lazy to move it, but it was getting a little bit uncomfortable sitting on it the way it was all bunched up this time. As I picked it up and was folding it I caught some thing out of the corner of my eye that I thought looked like a big black spider. It caught me of guard and I ended up freaking out like one normally does when they think they see a spider and dropped the blanket. This bastard dropped down onto my chair mat with a little thud. I thought maybe it was dead from the way it just kind of body slammed to the floor and didn't move. Since I carry my camera with me in my purse, just for these kind of Kodak moments, I had to take a picture of it. After awhile it started crawling away. I guess it was just a little stunned.

I know you guys are all wondering. Did I kill the bastard? Nope. I found a piece of paper and tossed in in my garbage. I normally let them loose outside, but my office is on the second floor and I couldn't find anything to put it in to transport it. So I just tossed him in my trash can, which is under my desk right where my legs are. Yeah, I was hoping I wouldn't find it crawling up my leg later on in the day. I'm not sure what kind of spider it is, though I have heard it might be a wolf spider, all I know is from the look of it I definately don't want to get bitten by it! Specially if it is a wolf spider! The bite of the Wolf Spider is poisonous but not lethal. I think I'll pass on that one none the less.

So now I've got this bastard hiding out some where in my office. I know it had to have escaped the garbage can. I'm just wondering where I'm going to find the bastard next. Unless my office mate finds it first. I wonder if she is afraid of spiders?

I guess I'll find out sooner or later. Heh, heh, heh...

Thank God I'm Not A Pengiun!

Ever have one of those days where you are just so tired that it's all you can do but to try and keep from falling asleep…at your desk?

I’m having one of those weeks. Although, today I’m really having a hard time trying to stay awake. Not a good thing while at work. What is making it even worse is the fucking air conditioning.

I’m one of those people that just can not tolerate air conditioning. My body retaliates by making my whole body feel as if I have the flu, while at the same time telling me in its own subtle way that its thermostat still works just fine. I used to have this problem when I was still over in our customer service department.

But up until 2 years ago, I didn’t have this problem until just recently. See, I had this office all to myself. I didn’t have to share it with anyone. Since I had this office all to myself, the first thing I did was close the vent in the ceiling where the air conditioning/heat blew out of. I then went even one step further by taping a piece of cardboard over the screen, totally blocking any cold air from escaping. I was set!

Now I sure in the hell wasn’t going to tell my new office mate what I had done. I wanted to wait and see how long it would take her to complaint hat it was too hot in the office. Come Monday she was asking me if it felt too hot in here. I said nope, I was comfortable. But I knew that I had to explain what I had done. Before you know it I’m looking for the ladder so I can remove the cardboard and open up the vent.

Monday wasn’t too bad since it was actually a hotter than fucking hell kind of day again. But come Tuesday the air conditioning was taking its toll on me. Today I feel completely wiped out. Even 2 Vente quad soy Carmel Macchiato’s can keep me awake. All I want to do is go home, crawl into bed and sleep. I have absolutely no energy, what so ever.

Am I the only one whose body reacts this way to air conditioning? I mean com’mon. This is ridiculous! I literally feel like I have the flu. My body is aching all over, my joints feel like they all need to pop. My eye lids feel like they weigh a ton and I’m having a hard time breathing, and my sinuses are making my head throb. And I take sinus medication everyday as it is because of my allergies!

All I know is that I can’t hang with this anymore. I’m going to have to ask if I can move somewhere else where I don’t feel like I am in an ice box.

What sucks even more? I still have 2 more hours till I can leave work. Today has already felt like an eternity. 2 more hours seems like infinity.

It's Aloha Friday!

This is what happens when co-workers bring in crazy little things like these. I take pictures of them and make stuipd shit like this! :o)

Put on your coconut shell bra, grass skirt, your flip flops, get yourself leid and grab yourself a tropical drink with an umbrella in it...
