Wow, my level of bordom and inability to concentrate on anything is just ridiculous right now. Yeah, I'm at work. No, I'm not getting anything done. Yeah, I have a lot to do. No, it's just not going to get done today. Ah well. It's all good.
So, just to prove how horribly bored and fluffy-headed I am right now, here's a screen shot of my desktop here at work. Now the image has absolutely nothing to do with my current state of being. The "interesting" thing about this is the fact that it's being done at all. Yeah, I'm pathetic ( and here is proofCollapse )
Numb3rs is on tonight!
EDIT: Ah ha HA! Going home early due to the new year (well, the new fiscal year)! My boss is lovely! |

Urgh...my poor stomach is doing funny things. I just had a can of diet coke, a bowl of tomoato soup and a couple of blue peeps for lunch, which apparently was a bad combination. Good lord...no more peeps. Well, not for a while, anyway (hey, I have an addiction!). Mmm...peeps... |

Only two months and three weeks until I get to move! Oddly enough, one of the biggest things I'm looking foward to when it comes to moving is returning to livejournal. Aha! I will be back! Every time I'm on lj, it brings me back to my old apartment, sitting in my adorable living room, just me and my cats, watching tv, hanging out...my new apartment (well, "new" apartment; I've been there for almost a year) has such an odd vibe. I can hardly stand being there and I just hate having a room mate (though I absolutely do NOT hate my roommate herself. She's as wonderful as ever and I still adore her, though I'm not so sure she feels the same). It's just something about the place. I just can NOT WAIT TO MOVE! My lease is up June 1, at which time I'm getting my own place again and will gleefully return to lj. (I know, I know. What's with the odd connection between lj and my apt? It's something I can't really understand enough to explain.) |

So it's obviously been awhile, but now seems like the best time to start up again. First of all, a huge hello and hug to  rachel_wilder and the_tiffster, I miss you!
Yesterday afternoon I got some news that I just am having such a hard time dealing with. One of my good friends (and old roommates), Dave Day, was killed two days ago in Iraq. When I was in college, his wife (who was then his girlfriend), Amy, and I went to school and worked together, and we ended up getting a place together. Eventually Dave moved in with us too, which was awesome because he really was a wonderful, sweet, caring, funny guy. He was going to school to become a cop, and he was in the National Guard. Even though we were really different (like, he was in the military and was a republican), he was so much more accepting and respectful of all people, no matter what they believed, than anyone else I've ever met. When you saw him walking down the street, you'd say to yourself "yup, he's definitely in the military, or maybe a football player." He just looked the part. But honestly, he was such a soft-spoken, gentle, laid back kind of guy that he would have made a great kindergarten teacher or animal trainer. He was so funny and so concerned about everyone he knew and everything that was going on. I'm just in shock and I'm so angry. So fucking angry! All of those people out there saying things like he died fighting for our freedom and life is going to be better for us because he "made the ultimate sacrifice for our country." Fuck you! No one's life is any better because he's gone, but many people's lives are going to be changed for the worse without him.
I got a phone call yesterday from another guy I know who was friends with Dave as well. The first thing he said was "I've got some bad news. David Day was killed in Iraq." Just like that. I don't know how to deal with this. I just can't even begin to imagine what Amy is feeling. A couple of years ago they broke up for a bit and I remember sitting with her, listening to her talk about Dave and she was just lost without him. She was so upset. I don't know what she's going to do now. For as long as I've known her, her major plan in life was to become a real estate agent (she did), marry Dave (she did), and have a family. That was that. And now that's all gone. How does a person deal with that? |

"Men are still animals and we need to make them happy. Part of me feels like I got so lucky with my husband, because he's such a loyal, beautiful man. Not all men are like my husband and I think there are some women who should work a little harder. I think the greatest thing when you're a female who is always out and about or doing something is to remember your place in the home. I want my man to feel like he is the man of the house, because that's the greatest dynamic of men and women. I want a guy who wants to be that guy."

At work.
So bored.
Nothing to do.
My boss has been on the phone with someone or other in England for the last few hours (hm, wonder what time it is there...?) with her office door shut. Very mysterious. Something about this job encourages me to eat odd foods...like curly fries from Arby's. Now I'm going to feel greasy and muddled all day.
I need a manicure. |

Why isn't it fall yet? Why must everyone get so upset when I say "thank god this freaking summer is almost over!" Why must they then say, "What summer? We had no summer this year!" I'm sorry, what did you call those months of warm weather and sun we just had? Am I delusional? Did only I see this?
Every time I watch the news and the weather comes on, the first thing out of their mouths is "tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and warm. Maybe we'll get a summer yet this year!" Oh, shut up. Wow, I can't wait until it is fall again, if only so everyone and everything will calm down and return to a vague state of normality.
I'm so displeased today.
So, can you tell I'm from Minnesota? I just wrote an entire entry on the weather. Well, I also stopped in the middle to pluck my eyebrows, but that has nothing to do with being Minnesotan...I don't think. |

Saw The Umbrella Sequence at the Uptown Bar last night; they were fabulous, of course. This is nothing new.
I am in such a horrible, sad mood right now and all I want to do is curl up in bed and go back to sleep. I hate weekends.
This absolutely sickens me. Sometimes I am so ashamed to be human. |

It was raining this morning while I was driving to work, which apparently was the reason why nearly everyone but me was at least a half hour late today! And considering how large this company is, that's pretty impressive. Now, I really don't care whether anyone is late or not, except that I had planned on getting a latte on my way to work but didn't so I would be on time... I coulda hadda latte! Damn. Need caffeine...
This job is a trip. I'm working at Navarre, which is a huge cd/dvd/software distribution company in Minneapolis. Well, actually it's international, but this is the main building. The little sub-section I'm working in deals with the record labels, as the liaison between them and the stores. So, pretty much I get to work with a bunch of cool record labels, a bunch of cool indie music stores (and big stores like Best Buy, but I kind of ignore that fact), and I get more free cds and random music junk than I know what to do with. Well, definitely can't complain... Apparently in the near future free shows and drinks will be part of the deal as well.
This beats the unemployment I dealt with for the majority of the summer. I used to think it would be great to have a summer off again (seeing as it's been many years since that has happened). I was wrong. I'll just come out and say that. Stupid me... There is nothing more depressing than not being able to find a job (any job) and not being able to pay your bills and getting angry letters from bill collectors (assholes) and having to borrow money from your parents for rent... It's so painfully discouraging and I never want to go through that again!
Off to work! (Augh! I love being able to say that again!) |

I'm back! I've been soooo crazy busy between moving, finding a new job, working full time, and still going to school! Yikes! But I've missed everyone around here so I thought I'd at least pop in and say HI. I hope everything is going well for everyone, and I'll add more later. Really, I will. Promise.
*HUGS TO ALL*

Since I'm moving into my new apartment this upcoming tuesday, I've decided to get all new bathroom stuff, seeing as I'll have my own bathroom and all. Sure, I have my own bathroom now, but still. Any excuse to buy new stuff, you know? So, I think I'm going to get this stuff, though I'm not entirely positive.
( cute bathroom stuff hereCollapse )
The bathroom would look even more fabulous if I could paint it (stupid landlord). Ah well. I found all of this at Bed Bath and Beyond. |
