I am out of here

Have a nice weekend!
Ciao.

How much?

Ok, I figured since we moved we could really use some new towels. So I started to look around and "Holy Cow" towels are expensive! Now, I don't want to go with the cheapest ones because I don't want to dry myself off with a rag and I never get dry, but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars either.
Plus, I need so many. Four of each, bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth for each bathroom. And don't forget the rugs.
Anybody have an idea on where to get good deals on towels?
I was going to look at Target, but they are expensive too sometimes.
Those old towels start looking really good to me all of a sudden.......

All alone

Well, almost everybody is gone now. It's quite here.
I kind of like it though because I get things done.

It would be nice though if I could go home too, but because I was such a good girl today I will be treated to a nice dinner out.....can't wait. They better have some good drinks, because I sure need that.

Other than that, there are no news here. Sure looks nice outside.

High

I am high on M&M's. It's all Easter's fault. Because they is just always so much candy and nobody eats it once Easter is over so I figured I take it to work with me and snack on it. Well, I am almost done, and you don't even know how much I had.

How much?

I have been wondering for a while about the fact that I am constantly drinking water.
I always have a water bottle with me and drink it all the time (and go to the bathroom every 30 minutes or so). I figure I drink about one gallon, while I am at work and maybe another quarter gallon once I am home.
Are there any health risks concerning too much water. Can I overdose on water? Note too, that I am NOT drinking the lead-contaminated DC water....

Lazy

No, I am not talking about me. Although I think that sometimes I am lazy, I am just good at putting things off, I think. If something really has to be done I get it done. At work, I always get things done ON TIME.
We do have to monitor telephone calls here and so we have to make sure that always enough people are available. Well, when you're on the phone, you're not really available, right?
So, why do some people have to talk one or sometimes even TWO (!!!) hours on the phone?
That is rude and inconsiderate.
Maybe I should just leave and come back 30 minutes before it's time to go home. Thats about the same.

Weekend Plans

Well, I don't really have any....I think.
We need new cell phones and I will get them. I am sick and tired of waiting.
Then I still have some minor cleaning to do in my office at home. It's just little paper stuff that needs to finda new corner. Of course, I willl be spen a lot of time doing laundry, since I have to pack up my stepson's suitcase so he can go back to Hampton on Sunday.
But my biggest plan is to sit outside, enjoy the weather, have a nice drink and not worry about anything. I can't wait to get home.

One Minute

Now I have some breathing room.
Why are some days so stressful?
And then, you'd think that being so busy makes time fly by. NO. I look at the clock and the day is still soooooooo looooong.
I need to keep me busy because I don't want to be sitting around watching the clock for the rest of the day.
Maybe I should go for a walk.

Stress!!

Just got in.
Meeting in 15 minutes.
More later.

I am done for the day

Ciao.

What a day

It just so slow today.
Luckily my headache is gone, but I still feel like I had no rest at all last night.
Thinking about working long again tomorrow doesn't really help either, but at least I get to sleep a little longer tomorrow.
I can't wait for the weekend!!!!!

Undankbar

Gerade im Spiegel gelesesn:

Sie seien "überfordert" gewesen, sagten die vier Geschwister dem Richter. Deshalb musste eine 81-jährige Frau sterben - sie verhungerte, weil ihre Kinder sich nicht mehr um sie kümmerten.


Wie kann man seine eigene Mutter, die einen in die Welt gesetzt hat, verhungern lassen? Und dann auch noch zu viert? Hat denn keiner dieser undankbaren Leute einmal Mitleid gehabt?
Ich hoffe dass jedem das gleiche Schicksal trifft und sie auf andere im Alter angewiesen sind.
Schrecklich.

Nice Day

It seems to become a really nice day outside. The sun is shining and according to my weatherbug the temperatures are rising. Maybe we will even hit the forecasted temperatures today....who knows?
Too bad though, that I will be enjoying this day in the office, but I am still hopeful this weekend will be nice and I'll be on my porch ALL weekend. I can't wait.

UPDATE: I just checked and according to my weatherbug we have just exceeded the forecasted temperature.....so they were wrong again!

Happy

Since it's payday it is a happy day. But it is even happier because of the chaotic spending going on lately I have been somewhat in the dark about how much money was in the Bank (exactly how much). So, after paying taxes and getting paid, I am confident that we will in fact be able to make our first mortgage payment and be able to eat too!!!
Well, it's not that bad but I hate it when I don't know how much money is available.
We might even get a ceiling fan or two......
Of course, we HAVE to have a pool table ASAP.

Headache

I woke up with a terrible headache this morning. It's starting to go away, but it's not how I wanted to start this day.
I hate that.

The countdown started

In less than an hour I will be on my way home. Finally. This day just seemed to go on forever.
A nice hot bath sounds really good. We'll see if I find the time for that tonight....not that I am going to get stuck in front of the TV or anything.
And I can't forget about the obligatory glass of wine.

Wieso?

Wieso sind eigentlich manchmal Leute so unfreundlich?
Ist es denen scheissegal wie die sich verhalten? Man kann doch nicht einmal ganz nett sein und sich die naechste Minute umdrehen und einem den Arsch zeigen.
Manchmal sind Leute einfach total bekloppt. Ehrlich.

They are all liars....

I know it's hard forecasting the weather, but two days in a row??? Well, they were all right about the rain, but not the temperatures. Yesterday it was supposed to be in the mid 50's or so but it never got above 50 and the same seems to happen today. You weather people suck and should all get fired!
I am checking multiple websites and they all suck. I need the sun and warm weather. This is just so depressing and I have absolutely no energy left to do anything.
Isn't it supposed to be Spring?
I need to move far, far away, to where it's warm and I don't need a weather forecast.

UPDATE: I knew it! I checked my weather bug and the temperatures are actually going down and they lowered the forecasted temperature from 59 to 55. Liars. I told you so. Don't trust them. It's a conspiracy!

still no TV

In the hopes of getting some sympathy, I just wanted to mention that we still do not have cable TV.
Now, I am being told that because they are waiting on a permit from the county that can take about 4-6 weeks. Luckily, about three weeks have passed already.
I am still seriously considering Satelite TV, but I don't want to mess with the dish, plus I don't want a dish on my roof. It looks stupid. My neighbors have them all over the place. It looks like a freaking trailer park.
So, I sit and wait, because there is nothing else to do.

one more...

I hate staying late at work....
I am just so used to get home at the same time every day and now I find myself sitting here thinking of what I would be doing right now, if I didn't have to work.
Of course, I got to leave later this morning but that doesn't help much.
I can't wait to get out of here, not that I want to go outside and be soaked....

Back to Work

Well, after an unexpected long weekend it is finally back to work for me. I got to babysit yesterday!!!!
I hate it when I am away from work without knowing it beforehand.
Now I am back and have some catching up to do.
My weekend was good...kind of, with everything that went on last week. Then the weather sucked too. Well on Sunday anyways and it is still raining. I just can't stand it anymore. I am starting to think that we will never see the sun again, no more shorts and T-Shirts, and the tress will stay gray and empty.
