I’m seriously considering starting a patter, with each day of the week having a theme of sorts. I know some folks have dedication Wednesday and stuff like that.
Monday for Movies
Tuesday for Talking
Wednesday for Wishing
Thursday for Thinking
Friday for Fun
To be honest I doubt it’ll last, but we’ll see.
So Thursday for Thinking. Should I be posting things I often postulate? Or perhaps posting things to make others more pensive.
Today I’m Thinking:
What should I post about?
What should I do for lunch?
Nah, this is too much like my wish list from yesterday, or the want list I posted a few weeks ago.
I’m thinking work is overrated, and becoming a gypsy is highly intriging.
I wonder if I could become an interior designer?
How hard woudl it be to become a vetrinary assistant?
Nah, I don’t wanna deal with animal poop all day. I’d rather deal with happy healthy animals than sickly sad ones.
This may become too much of a stream of consciousness post. Nothing particularly wrong with that, but no need to make an excuse to do so.
So let’s see if I can make you think:
Ugh, nevermind. It’s been a terribly busy morning, and becoming an increasingly busy early afternoon.
So much for my plans.
He resigned. So I guess I got my first wish. I was afraid of this. And I have a feeling it has something to do with my second wish.
This worries me greatly.
He was a great guy. I think he decided to leave for many reasons, some of which I’m not entirely comfortable discussing here.
Here are some of the other reasons:
poor morale at work
increased cost of benefits (med/dent insurance)
no raises in quite some time (not even to offset new costs)
change to vacation policy for the worse
feels the brunt of her wrath
But I did talk to my boss about starting school back up, and she was very excited for me. And asked where I would like to go w/ my new endeavor. I told her I’d like to work as a consultant again. I told her I wanted to work with Awesome Consultant Woman, and get advice from her, sort of adopt her as a mentor. Boss strongly encouraged me and said she’ll keep all this in mind for possible billing opportunites for me. 
MASTERS OF THE OBVIOUS
According to Hotwire, referring to 2.5 star hotels:
“Most properties are located near airports shopping malls and business centers or in residential areas.”
It’s Wednesday. I’m at a loss so here. Something for you to feign interest in:
I wish I were an oscar meyer weiner…not really, but hey, at last then I wouldn’t have to think - and sometimes thinking hurts my head.
I wish I knew what’s going on with Joe
I wish I knew why it’s just me and the boss and redskins fan here
I wish I could buy a house
I wish I wasn’t so suseptibe to my mom’s guilt
I wish things were easeir
Like eveyone else, I wish I had more money, but I think we’ll always wish that
I wish I had a plan (actually I do have a plan, I just wish it was more reasonable)
I wish I didn’t feel like I was stagnating
I wish I knew what I wanted for lunch
I wish my thighs were smaller
I wish my calves were more defined
I wish I could see my abs
I wish my top half was more proportionate to my bottom half (or vice verca)
I wish my co-workers appreciated my abilities more
I wish I were somewhere else
I wish I spent more time enjoying things, instead of just sitting around wishing things were better.
The boss will be back in this morning. She was on a cruise all last week. At least in theory that’s where she was. With the hurricanes down around floriday (where she lives) I wonder if she actually went anywhere.
Last night I played Sims 2 too late again. I mentioned on Hag’s page that I may try to start up a discussion over at Zero’s forums. If I do I’ll share the link later today.
Something in the air here at work is making me cough a lot today. Same thing yesterday. Or maybe it’s just the morning.
Phlome is terribly upset about the football game last night that we’re not supposed to talk about.
Sims 2 is starting to take over my life. I dreamt in sim last night. Tonight, no Sims till I work on my Halloween costume for at least an hour.
Ok - so here’s the link to the Sims Discussion Forum
Oh and in the defence of my beau (not that he wants one, and will probably berate me for defending him), he’s traversing across the metro-plex in predominatly work related activities, with a few brother’s broken car activities thrown in for good measure.
He’s expecting to be home late today, fortunatly he was thoughtfull enough to remember to leave me a key under the doormat, since Monkey currently has my key. While we will probably make a copy of the key, I don’t think we’ll provide Monkey with his own key. Read below (because I feel myself getting long winded) for a full explanation of why a key will more than likely not be given to our every so wonderful dog-sitter/cohort/Texas Ranger/friend/all around fun guy, or any other very helpful friends, who check on the dogs and the house for us.

From here
JANUARY:
Stubborn and hard-hearted. Ambitious and serious. Loves to teach and be taught. Always looking at people’s flaws and weaknesses. Likes to criticize. Hardworking and productive. Smart, neat and organized. Sensitive and has deep thoughts. Knows how to make others happy. Quiet unless excited or tensed. Rather reserved. Highly attentive. Resistant to illnesses but prone to colds. Romantic but has difficulties expressing love. Loves children. Loyal. Has great social abilities yet easily jealous. Very Stubborn and money cautious.
In my own defense:
I can be ambitiuos and serious, but as a whole I don’t think I’m either, smae goes for hardworking and productive. Maybe that’s because I’m in a ratehr un-productive line of work right now. I hate to say I like to criticize, but I find myself pointing out or at least noticing the flaws in other folks when we go out, so I guess maybe I do. I’ve never been neat, and I want to be organized, and I love to organize, I just don’t maintain organization well at all. And it’s not that I don’t like children, I like kids just fine. I just don’t LOVE them. I’m not one of those women who are just naturally maternal, and love to have kids around all the time. To be completely honost, kids intimidate me. I don’t get jealous easily. Jealosy is a silly emotion, so when I do get jealous it makes me angry at myself more than anything. I used to think there was something wrong with me, because I didn’t get jealous. I’ve had more than one bf ifrustrated w/ me because I don’t get jealous as easily as they expected me to. So I started acting jealous to make them feel better. Yeah, silly huh?
Maybe I am money cautious. But really, I never balance my check book, I just keep track online. I overspend more often than I should, but I haven’t exactly gotten myself in terrible financial straights. Though I wish I had a little less CC debt than I currently have. I blame all that on living off CCs while unemployed though.

I know, I was trying real hard to procrastinate today - managed to do so all morning. But this afternoon I actually ended up doing real work. *sigh*
Phlome did a pretty good job of covering the weekend, I don’t have much more to share other than a few anecdotes:
Phlome managed to sneak out during the gatter toss, and to avoid all but one of the very last slow dances. His timing was inpecable. The only reason he didn’t get out of the that slow dance was because I wouldn’t let him leave until he slow danced with me.
And Squid watching prevents those embarassing pictures. So really, most of the reception fun came from watching drunk girl dance with all the groomsmen, and act like a groupy to the local band: Crazy Zebra - or something like that. I swear, she was up there at the front of the dance floor like she was at some huge concert w/ the coolest band ever. But she was the only one there. The band started a few songs ‘2 trailer park girls go round the outside round the outside round the outside’ while she was out there. Then they’d transition into a different song (ie Billy Jean). I get the impression the slim shady reference was code for “we’ve got a drunk slut up here.” Not that I mean anything bad by that, but seriously…she was from dallas after all…
The real news from last week was of course babyfurious - go take a peek. I promise it’ll make you want one of your very own…if you don’t have one already, and in that case you’ll want another. Oh, and btw, www.babyfurious.com is available, as is furiousbaby.
Phlome’s li’l bro is gettin’ hitched tomorrow. Tonight is the rehearsal and dinner. The squid is one of the flower girls and rather upset that she has to wear a fru-fru dress.
I’ll probably not be posting anymore today, just wanted to share the general plans.
have a great weekend!
This morning I found a toothpick in the carpet the hard way. It impaled my big toe. Mere millimeters from being shoved under my toenail. I don’t know if it would have been worse than the hole I have at the tip of my big toe now or not. Cuz it still hurts, and the incident was over 2 hours ago.
I’m also really hungry this morning. Already had some vanilla custard yogurt. It was very yummy. Worth all 190 calories of it. I need to get back to calorie counting and working out again, before I gain back everything I lost. I want to reach my ultimate goal of maintaining 125 by next spring. It’s a long way off and really only about 6 - 10 lbs to loose. But it’s one thing to reach the goal and a ccompletely different one to maintain it. First I’ve got to maintain 130 for a while so my body can adjust to it. My body really likes 135. It hovers up and down around that weight, unless I crash diet.
Anyway…
It’s my friday again. I haven’t worked a full week yet this month.
It’s gonna make next week a little rough I think. It’ll make all of next month rough. No days off in October.
Having enrolled in school now (which has been distracting me quite a bit for the past several weeks) I should really start doing my job more at work now…it’s too easy to get away with out really doing anything because even if I do do my job, there’s no guarantee I’ll have anything to show for it. But that’s a long and complicated explanation, so I’m gonna leave this here, and go start planning out real work stuff.
Today at approximately 6:45 pm, I enrolled my first course towards my post-graduate degree.
Classes start October 25. Every Monday night, until sometime in Feb., 6:00pm - 9:30pm. Leadership and Organizational Behavior. In about 2 years or so, I’ll have my MBA. Or at least that’s the running theory.
to blog today
but alas, my day
has gotten away
from me.
But don’t worry,
eventually you’ll see,
I haven’t forgotten you,
my precious few
loyal readers and new
readers who come
to read my flotsam
and jetsam.
