Happy hour
So, my little LIF I had to train, way back when, came back for more training. He was only here for 2 weeks. He was all upset that I wasn’t going to be there to train him on stuff. But, um, hello….YOU TOOK MY JOB!!!! He asked about my last day, and my new start date for the new job and why couldn’t I be there to train him… blah, blah, blah…Again…Hello, YOU TOOK MY JOB!
Anyways, he was here for two weeks. Part of those two weeks overlapped my drip to FL. He wanted to get together while he was here. I set up a HH for the second week he was here. Had a good time. The watering hole selected seemed to have a good HH menu. They had 32oz drafts for $3.50!! HELLO!! Meanie and I asked what the draft specials were when we got there and got Blue Moon. Halfway through my Blue Moon, thanks to my lack of eating, I was totally getting tipsy. I could feel myself getting all sway-y and loosey-goosey. I had to eat ASAP. Had some pizza, felt better. But holy cow, once it hit me, it hit me hard. When it was time to settle up, we found out the Blue Moon was $8 not $3.50. Asked the waitress about it. She said she told us those were premium and not part of HH. Lying fucking bitch. We asked about the HH stuff, and mentioned the word HH a million times when ordering…she never said anything about Premium. We paid, and Tourettes was with us, she said DO NOT TIP. I can’t totally screw people over…so I left her a little less than 10%. Fucking bitch.The HH was fun, LIF took lots of pictures. I was happy to see him for a bit while he was here.
Spoke too soon on the boredom
After I said I was bored and didn’t have anything to do at work, I was doled out a task!! WOO HOO!!! All data entry!! WOO HOO!!!! At least it got me in the system and gave me something to do. Even though it’s boring as fuck. And I’ve been doing more training, and slowly building my arsenal of capabilities. ROCK OUT!!
Holy fucking frigid batman.
Cold front came in this week. Went from 80-something down to 60-something. Not bad...however the overnight temp drop is like just hovering over freezing. I had to put my heat on this morning. The temp inside the condo was 61. Fatboy is all cold and wants to cuddle to keep warm. I can’t hold him and work, so I gave him a blanket while he sleeps next to me. He seems to be doing better. But this morning though, after I woke up and threw on some clothes, and took Jaeger out, I went to go potty. The toilette seat was so cold, I thought for sure my ass was going to freeze to it…I’d be needing to sending a little SOS to god knows who about helping me release myself from the seat.Anyways, so my heat is on (66), and I’m still chilly.
However, this weekend, temps supposed to rise to 90! God I love Arizona and the inconsistency of the fall weather. I thought Chicago was supposed to be bad… Phoenix is definitely proving it’s nothing to shake a stick at.
NEW MOON NEW MOON NEW MOON!!!!!!
I BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE MIDNIGHT SHOW!!!!! I BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE MIDNIGHT SHOW!!!! I BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE MIDNIGHT SHOW!!!!! I BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE MIDNIGHT SHOW!!!!
Meanie, Skank, and I are braving the pre-pubescent crowds yet again for the midnight viewing of what will sure be a cinematic classic!! And we are doing the double feature option, of seeing Twilight beforehand. Hell, if have to wait for hours before the show, might as well watch a movie!
God, is it Nov 19th yet?? I really, really, really need me some new Edward to drool over. I miss him.
And I'm a little excited to see this one all wet and half dressed...I'll never be Team Jacob...but I'm always pro eye candy. Ha cha cha!!
Speaking of New Moon
The soundtrack…LOVE IT!!! There are 3 songs I’m not crazy about, but one of them is really starting to grow on me. I have been having my own soundtrack playing in my mind for the series, of course, none of my songs are featured. I can’t see where the songs go in the movie. All I have to say is that The Killers’ White Demon Love Song is sooooo anti-Edward and amazing. It’s great.Dinner dates.
Meanie, CC and I had dinner last Friday. Topic of conversation…ways of dying. It started with scary movie talks. I mentioned Ghost Ship…stupid movie, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it (remember Hitler???). So there were all these mass ways that people were being killed, and all I could think of was how would I want to die, if I was on that ship??? For weeks after, it was all I could think about it. And it started to freak me out. So I mentioned to CC and Meanie that I think if I had to choose extreme heat or cold as my way of dying, I take cold. Figuring that eventually I’ll feel warm, fall asleep and never wake up. CC and Meanie said heat was the way to go, seeing that you’d get all delirious and crazy, you’d have no clue what would be going on and then you’d die. Meanie said something along the lines that if you get saved from freezing to death, you’d have no limbs from all the frozenness, whereas with dying, you’d still be intact, but mentally impaired. I said I’d rather lose my fingers and keep my mind, than remain physically the same, but have the mental capacity of a three year old. CC said, yeah, but you wouldn’t know you weren’t normal!!
Then we talked about the movie Paranormal State. Meanie said she was looking online and found out the ending. So I told her to tell me about it. And she did. We both want to see it, but are a little apprehensive. When I went home (alone, fatty was staying at my parents’ since I was heading north in the morning to visit a friend for the rest of the weekend)…I started thinking again about ways of dying, the Paranormal Activity…and I spooked myself out. I couldn’t go to sleep until 2am. I kept thinking I heard things going bump in the night, and wondering if there were any ghosties visiting me.
Speaking of Paranormal Activity…
Going to see it this weekend with Meanie, Meanie’s friend, and a coworker from the old place. It’s only an hour and half long, which I’m sure will provide a life time of torment and trauma. I don’t know what I want to see this movie, but I have to…I NEED TO!!! It’s some crazy obsession. I’m excited and terrified all at the same time. I’m sleeping at my parents’ house afterwards, so I don’t have to be home alone!!
God help me!
And speaking of the old job…
Things are moving so well over there in the land of the great Indian take over. And I was asked if I would be willing to come back, part time from home. Seeing that I loved my team so much (or at least SuperJ, CwJ, and Meanie), I said yes. SuperJ was in the talks with the powers that be, and it got approved today. I told SuperJ, I’m hearing the Welcome Back Kotter theme song in my head.
I have to say, I really, really hope that whoever thought this off shore business was going to work is thoroughly kicking themselves in the ass. There’s been sooooo many fuck ups with trying to make it work, that I wonder if they’ll really see the financial outcome they were hoping for. I don’t see them gaining profits for a long time to come giving all the money they have to dish out first.
Swift move, aces.
And, as much as I love my team, I will not be giving parting gifts on my second exit. But I’m happy to be back, even if I’m not going to be in the office every day.
The Mama!!
GREAT NEWS ON MY MOM!!! Cancer levels in her blood is now at a normal level. The tumor still needs to shrink some before they can remove it, but it’s dying away. She had a rough month in September and didn’t have chemo the entire month, but when she did her scan just after that, the tumor hadn’t grown any. It had stayed the same size as the previous scan 6 weeks prior. So that’s really really good!!
The Pioneer Woman.
I love PW. Her cookbook was just released. I pre-ordered it from the crack dealer. And she’s going to be in Tempe next week. I’m going to see her…get my book signed, and if I’m lucky maybe even a picture!! Crazy excited about that.
Make new friends…but keep the old…
One is silver and the other gold. That little ditty is one of 3 maybe 4 things I remember from my brownie/girl scout days. Hitler and I went to the meeting. We had 5 girls to assist with the loom hats. One girl was sooo unfocused and such a chatterbox. Good lord she was annoying. But I didn’t swear, say anything inappropriate or anything. SCORE FOR ME!! But, we were there for 2 hours helping them loom. I could have made at least one hate in that amount of time…I think they might have gotten 4 rows max. And I had to sacrifice my loom hook. One little girl, who was sooo quiet and focused, didn’t have one, and I leant her mine. She was looming soooo tightly, that she was bending my hook. I can just go to Mike’s and buy a new one for a couple of bucks… She can keep the bent one.
It’s a classic…
New BC42 read….are you ready for this??? Pride and Prejudice!! I KNOW!!! You are totally shitting yourself aren’t you?? God knows I was when I started reading, then paused so Tuschka could read it with me. I needed to find out what was soooo special about this Mr. Darcy character. I mean, is he really better than Edward?? Some seem to think so. But Edward is pretty high on my pedestal, so I don’t know how Darcy can reach. Plus in the 1st BC42 book, the chicky was all about the Darcy. So, we are going to read it now.
However, I started a smutty Megan Hart book that I need to finish first…ha cha cha. Tempted- it starts with a BANG!!!

Okay…I’ve fronted. I know I missed stuff…but I don’t know what else to say right now. I might have to make an amendment tomorrow or this weekend.
Rock out, homies!!
