I think I am ready to head out to warmer lands. I feel like I am REALLY getting too old to leave things to the last minute. Time to go to sleep to wake up in a few hours. Early flights- not so becoming. I will miss you! xoxox

Should I just move to FL and be done with it?

Sign that the darkness is lifting? Having a mini dance party to the NPR transition music while getting dressed. Ouch! Shake it.

I wish I had curly hair so much, would it be crazy to grow it out a bit and get a perm? With large curly curls?

Dread

There are no words for the feeling in the pit of my stomach in anticipation of going back to Trenton tomorrow. Ugh. I’ve been away for 10 days but it feels like a month! Luckily, I will have another 10 days off in two weeks. I hope I can bring a nice attitude to keep my sanity in tact. Deep breaths.

2012

I am not going to lie, I am REALLY excited for this upcoming year. I don’t know what’s gotten into me, I know it’s a bit trite and predictable but all the same I am really pumped. There are still many uncertainties that exist and I may or may not have my current job for all or part of it. And we may move again and I can go on and on about maybes but I am excited for it. I know...

NYE

Umm, we might not really have any plans for tomorrow night. My only goal at this point is not to drink too much and puke. Big dreams for 2012! D suggested a ‘Very Montclair New Year’s Eve”- dinner out and count down at the neighborhood bar. It’s just so crazy it might work. Fireworks in NJ.

Instead of heading to a Revolutionary War reenactment we are heading to the Russian bathhouse! Yay! Shvitz time. It’s our first time at this place and if their customer service on the phone is any indication- this place sounds very authentic.

Another day- another work post

I said to medium ugly boss- “It’s supposed to be a nice day today.” A polite olive branch on my part. Her response was, “I don’t think so. I think having nice days in December is troubling for global warming. It should be cold. It’s not a nice day.” I rolled my eyes and walked away. Seriously?

I wish there were latkes at our house. Maybe I can make some this weekend.

UGH

How many times do I think this when I am at work!? I taught my medium boss to use her Outlook 2002 instead of Outlook Express 2000 since she couldn’t even reply to emails due to compatibility issues. It’s sort of a whole new kind of insanity when in 2012, she feels super modern using 10 year old technology. Why am I here? Where did my life take a terrible turn for the crazy?

Ps. I met with the life/career coach and she suggested that I quit my job. Why can’t I pull the trigger? I guess she will help me operationalize this goal.

FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY HEAD

I just told my ugly medium boss that I wanted to state my objection for the record that I think it’s unjust to have me work extra time and not compensate me and I think there needs to be a revision to that policy. I’ve been repeatedly asked to work extra days and keep track of my hours and not been compensated for it. I was told that it would count towards comp time. I only this week...

i might have to get all ows on all people's asses...

alisonmrhodes: what does this mean? I was just thinking that I missed you a lot and here you are! Yay! FL bar is a back up… I am standing strong. It’s too scary.
