I need to go into FAA (Facebook App Anonymous). Over the last several weeks I have realized how much time I waste on Facebook and their apps. Applications like ‘Flair, Sorority Life and Farm Town’. How did this happen? It started out so innocently, 10 minutes here, and half an hour there, 3 hours here, the rest of my night there… the madness needs to stop. Make it stop!!
My Farm Town now has enough crops to kill a moose and I keep getting Terminally depressed in Sorority Life because the petty ho’s keep attacking me. I officially have enough ‘Flair Credits’ to add every piece of flair in the app without sending more flair…. BBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I’m going to sit in a dark corner rock back and forth while eating my hair… nobody make any sudden moves.
or Dancing With the Stars for those of you who aren’t in tune with the cool hip lingo.
***MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT***
YAY! Shawn & Mark won Dancing With the Stars!! I was hoping for Toni & Melissa to win because they were so good but then again so were Gilles & Cheryl. Then again Cheryl has won DWTS twice already. Hopefully next year Toni will win since Mark has now officially won twice as well! Hang in there buddy!
I have not idea how I am able to go so long without Blogging! Did anyone watch ‘Dancing With The Stars’? Great quality programing if you ask me! I’m a little stunned that Lil Kim was voted off over Ty Murray. Don’t get me wrong, I’m quite the fan of the man but she dances a whole lot better.
I am getting ready to celebrate another Birthday day here in the next few weeks, and I’m not sure why this is but every year for the last 3 years I have seen nothing but Cats. Cats swarming my door step, turning street corners and even haunting my place of employment. Seriously, there was a cat behind a door trying to claw the it down so they could usher me into the next phase of my life. Maybe I’m being a little over dramatic but 3 years running I am more than wishing that this all was all a coincidence. At least I’m not in Provo, waiting bitterly to turn 27 single and alone while random 19 year olds are happily married and sporting more ice than Alaska, but I digress.
Instead of celebrating my new phase of life, I think I will celebrate the fact that my Spam collector has caught over 3,000 pieces of spam since I’ve installed it. How’s that for awesome Nerdity. Here’s to my next windows re-install and Office 2007! Oh Excel, How I love thee… when you’re formulas work and don’t have kinks in them. Here’s to working over 60 hours a week! Booyah! Finally, here’s to living up to almost every single one of my New Years resolutions… except for the one that has me blogging more (I’m sorry guys, but my work schedule is 95% of why I don’t blog as often).
I love how everyone thinks I’m awake in the mornings. I realize that I am mobile and that by physically moving one might assume that I am in fact awake, but I must warn the masses now. If it’s before 10 AM I am basically sleepwalking through my routine. Seriously guys it’s been like this since high school and just about everything you try to teach me or tell me won’t actually compute until later that day.
Case in point… The other day I walked into my office, dropped my purse off in one of my filing cabinet drawers, and walked to my computer to pull up reports to get them out to the floor staff. I was going about my morning like every other morning until my friend Graham saw me walking by and shouted out to me ‘you didn’t see it did you!’
‘See what?’ I replied clearly confused at his statement.
‘Come here, I’ll show you’ he said as he guided me back to my office. ‘Look!’ he said. I was looking all around my office wondering what could possibly be different. Sadly I was still in auto pilot mode so it looked like the same big blur of colors and shapes. ‘Look to your left’, I did what I was told. ‘Now look down’ feeling like a helper monkey at this point I looked down.
To my wonderment I noticed that the IT department had put a mini fridge in my office and had packed it full of Dr. Pepper so I wouldn’t run out when the vending machines did. I had tears in my eyes as I gazed upon the glory that I beheld . It was the most glorious sight I have seen. My eyes started to un-gloss and the colors and shapes started making actual objects. Dr.Pepper! I opened the door and it was like heaven was singing a glorious chorus to me.
‘How did you not see it when you walked in? It’s right by where you put your keys and where you drop off your purse!’ I could tell Graham was confused.
I’ve been running on ‘morning auto-pilot’ mode for so long, that to the untrained eye you could in fact actually argue that I am indeed awake. If only they knew. Not only had I not noticed the mini fridge packed full of Dr. Pepper, but had totally bypassed the smiley face on my computer screen that was facing the smiley face on the mini fridge. Oh how grateful I was after I noticed it, but oh how stupid I felt that I was too out of it to notice such a beautiful showing of friendship. Thanks again guys! It has been a lifesaver every day since you brought it into my office. You guys are the best!
Happy Easter Everyone! Here’s a little clip I found, I know it will make my Dad happy. he used to sing the ‘Super Chicken’ theme song to my brother and I when we were kids Nothing like 60’s influenced cartoons. I love it!
I am happy to announce that I am officially 7 days past April Fool’s Day and my friends from last year have yet to seek retribution for what is more formally known as ‘my finest hour’. As some of you might remember, I used April’s wonderful first day (2008) to put two of my friends’ cars up for sale on the Internet as well as signing another one up for an online dating service. After a few ill fated attempts to silence my antics, I remained victorious.
I’m not going to lie. I was a little worried what last week was going to bring me, especially since it was rally week. Rally week in my place of employment is when the departments put together a rally for the workers in order to recognize hard work and boost morale. It’s a really good idea and gets the troops off their phones for at least an hour and a half and they are really fun and full of energy… minus the executive assistants who are huddled in a corner maintaining what little energy we have left after running around like chickens with our heads cut off (and we do this in heels). It’s crazy but I love it. I love my job… minus rally week. And unfortunately for me, rally week coincided with April Fool’s Day. The wonderful thing about pulling pranks on this blessed day is you never think ‘hmmm, there is a good possibility I’m going to be crazy out of my mind busy about a year from now, and should probably refrain from pulling such silly shenanigans’… I like to think I’m this smart and prepared but I’m not. Luckily for me my prey from the year before were hoping beyond hope that I wouldn’t strike again… I received a text message later that day saying ‘thank you for not putting my car up for sale again this year’. You’re welcome good buddy! Since you guys never retaliated, I had no reason to continue with my one sided prank war.
One day I will find someone who can properly battle my crazy pranking prowess. For now I will remain in bed nursing a stomach virus I received from Mr. History Channel. Our first communal sickness…How cute! At least I survived Rally Week!
It’s very interesting to ‘emerge from the darkness’ and then take another month to fully emerge because I slave work way to darn much, and when I’m not working I have to consider the boy (we’ll call him Mr. History Channel). Needless to say, Facebook and my Blog have been massively neglected. Sorry Blog. You’ve always been there for me and here I am treating you like the red headed stepchild. My apologies. Thanks to a couple of blog friends who were worried and thought I had become a corpse being eaten by her cat… I’m sorry to say Rychelle that I don’t think I’m Herbie’s cup of cat chow, that’s more up Penelope’s (my brother’s cat) alley… I have nightmares about that darn cat. Kristina thank you for wondering if I was ever coming back
It’s been a very interesting month. I thought I was busy when I was working at the Internet marketing company with all the men. At least there I had time to pee… this is no longer the case. The best part of all this is that I get to use the words ‘oh crap, it’s already 6 PM’… I’m pretty sure those words have never been spoken by me before. It’s more along the lines of ‘Sweet Moses, it’s only 10 AM… this is going to be a long day’. Thanks to my wonderful job, I shall never be bored or under-appreciated ever again
I see a lot of crazy things while I’m driving to said job. You think I wouldn’t due to the fact that it’s only a 10 minute drive. It was about a week and a half ago when I looked over at the other lane on the freeway to see a cop car that said ‘Out of Service’. At first I thought I had seen this impossibility due to the lack of caffeine in my blood system (seriously, I have mistaken my cat for Elvis under these conditions) but then I remembered I had seen the exact same thing not three days before. Crazy!
What does that even mean? ‘Out of service’? You’re driving your cop car that says ‘out of service’, but clearly your car works. If I’m in trouble and I yell for help, does this mean the ‘out of service’ cop car is going to drive right past me? Really? Are they on a lunch break? ‘Sorry guys, I can’t help out that poor girl being gunned down, I’m in the middle of destroying a super sized hero’. What has our world come to that we have ‘out of service’ Policemen? Is this a Dallas thing where they are ‘taking a stand’? ‘Screw you public! Pay us more or you’ll pay!’ Bold words for the men who are more often than not parked in front of the doughnut shops (it’s more than a cliché down here my friends). I’m beginning to think that the ‘out of service’ status is more referring to them being out of commission from downing all those puffy pastries…‘Sorry guys! I pounded the whole dozen, you go fight crime, I’m out of service’.
Like seeing how many licks does it take to get to center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know.
The answer is yes! Yes, I have completely fallen off the planet! I’ve been working 60 hour weeks and I’m so exhausted that I couldn’t even weigh in on the The Bachelor Jason Mesnick completely dumping that sweet Melissa on National television… Classy man. It’s cool if you change your mind and want to date someone else but National television…Really? What, a crowded restaurant wasn’t ‘public’ enough for you? Seriously! It’s not like you dumped her and then 10 minutes later were macking on another woman… oh wait! There is a time and a place buddy. Time and a place.
As many of you know, Valentines day is right up on my ‘crap list’ just above having bamboo shoots shoved up my fingernails and being on a camping trip and mistaking ‘bathroom leaves’ for poison ivy.
Luckily this year, I had two people that helped make my Valentines day as painless as possible. My good friend Karen and a new friend named Kyle. Between Movies and Video games, my mind was far from the usual thoughts that have left a sting of remembrance. The sting is the only thing I have left to get over which is nice but annoying none the less.
It’s good to remember the little things in life. Like how ‘Police Trainer’ is still my favorite Arcade game of all time, and how a single rose can make my day even if it’s just from a friend. To these two people I am extremely grateful and these wonderful acts of kindness earn you a Love Sac in heaven. Amanda, you get a Love Sac too even though I didn’t make it to Red River.
I hope everyone had a great Valentines/Single Awareness Day!
PS… I’m employed! Yay! That’s why I haven’t been blogging, that and that evil hacker. jerk!
Nothing like 60’s influenced cartoons. I love it!
