I want my coffee.

Here is my grumpy face waiting in line for coffee. I'm late for work because of the flooding. Oh well. My second to last day, then off to California! I don't have to start my new job until December, so that will be nice too. It will be a much-needed break.

Oh, and for those asking, no, I didn't do anything exciting for my birthday last night. I came home early, watched TV, ate a steak and went to bed. Thrilling, huh?

The Mrs. Butterworth Scandal

Have you noticed how Mrs. Butterworth doesn't have big boobs anymore? What the hell?

Flooding in Sultan, WA

Will I make it home?

ACK! The only road to my house is flooding. I am promptly leaving work (at the end of the audit) to see if I can make it. Shit!

Happy Birthday?

I'm kinda sad today. I know you are supposed to be happy on your birthday, but I have a lot of extenuating circumstances that have put a damper on it. Oh well, I'm going to try and make the best of it.

37 is the New 21

Well, I just officially turned 37. Show me the presents! FYI: 37 is the new 21. Just so you know.

Tidbits from my fragmented brain.

1. It is time for a break because about every 3rd minute I am staring off into space forgetting what I'm doing.

2. I am way tired.

3. I would do anything for a full body massage right now. With a glass of something on the side.

4. I'm starting not to care.

5. I am obsessing about something I shouldn't be obsessing about.

6. I think it is due time for something spectacular to happen to me. I'm waiting and ready.

7. I don't know what I'm going to do for dinner while I'm at work.

8. I don't know what time I'm going home.

9. I have a hole in my sock, and it is driving me batshit.

10. I need new underwear.

11. I'm still restless. And I don't like it.

12. I'm not looking forward to the holidays this year. Because of all the death in the last year. I probably won't talk about the holidays much this year. Just so you know.

14. Oh somebody please help me for God's sake, I've lost my mind.

Time Warp

Well, that was stupid. I started getting ready at 3 am, then decided to "lay back down for a few minutes" and didn't wake back up until 6 am. What a retard.

3 AM

I'm getting up. It's 3 am. I'm going to take a shower and get ready for work. I thought about it for a while and came up with an answer to my work behavior and left it in the last comment. Now if I could figure out one last thing I'd be in great shape! That's a complicated one though. At least I get to go to Cali on Sat, that will be fun. It's a nice escape. I'll think of it as a birthday trip.

Understanding Myself

Sorry guys. I've had a headache all day and never even made it to work. Now I'm stressed and will have to probably pull an all-nighter at work tomorrow. I don't know why I care so much, but I do. There are many things I don't understand about myself, and because of that it has been a bizarre weekend emotion-wise. I think I need to give up on understanding myself. I'll just roll with it. LOL.

Head Clutter

Trying to get some sleep. I actually need to go into work tomorrow to get things ready for the audit next week. Blah. I can't sleep. DAMNIT. Figures. Too much on my mind. I don't understand why I can't get certain things out of my head. Maybe I should slam myself with a 2x4.

Being Social

Since my restlessness was bugging me to no end, I decided to have some girly friends over to distract me. They brought food (bless them), and we socialized while doing stuff. Marianne worked on her scrapbook, Sandy knitted, and I installed software on my new laptop. I'm a freak, I know, but it's more fun to do that stuff with people around. Good times.

Xanax to go, please.

My mom said I need this T-shirt she saw:

"I'll take an extra large double mocha, a side of vodka and a Xanax to go please."

She knows me well. LOL. Gimme!

Hair Do

I'm trying a different hair do. I want to buy some of those pretty beaded hair sticks, the ones that look like fancy chop sticks. How's that for an exciting post?

Restless Secrets

I am very restless today in a certain way. But that is all I'm gonna say about that.

Friday Night at Work

I am still at work. On a Friday night. For a company that laid me off. LOL. I guess I just want everything to be right when I go, I am invested financially in this company, and I'm also a perfectionist. Lame, huh?

It doesn't matter anyway; I have no other plans. What? Watch T.V.? Pffft. Also lame. There is no one else here. (That I know of.) Just me. Correcting work that people did for me when I went on vacation.

I ate Thai food for lunch, and it had a spicy rank of 4 out of 5 stars. I. HAVE. TO. QUIT. DOING. THAT. My stomach hurts now. I probably better go home.

Here Comes the Rain

Parts of the town I live in are already flooded. I'm so glad I'm off to California on the 15th. My mom said it's been pretty warm there for November. Hooray! I'm staying for 4 or 5 days before we drive back. I can't believe how many times I've been there this year! Oh, and bonus! Gas is down to $2.39/gallon! I remember not long ago when it reached $5.00 right after 9/11. That was INSANE.

Pizza and Security

Celebration Crazydogmama style! Yes, my diet has gone to holy hell in a handbasket. I'll eat my vegetables tomorrow. Tonight, it's pizza!

An important point came up in the comments, and I love you all for commenting.

Security. Yes, I got a job fast because I have to eat (eating is very important) but I took a chance for the first time in my life on a temporary contract job because I am still thinking of moving. That, and it felt good. I really liked the people I met today, and that is more important to me right now. There are other better paying, more stable jobs being put in front of me, but I don't want to feel stuck. There really is no such thing as security in this life. If there is anything I've learned in the last year, it is that. Life can change on a dime.

Happy Dance!

I got the job despite my chocolate scent!

Today's interview was MUCH different than the first one. This goes to show you (and me) that you can't be too quick to judge. The lady I met with today was SUPER sweet and down to earth, the receptionist was in a good mood and offered me a beverage (I took water since I was on a beverage-spilling roll), and I had a really good feeling about everything. It isn't exactly what I make now, but it's close, and has potential. I would much rather take less money and work in a "family" environment, than make big bucks with corporate bullshit and backstabbing coworkers. The money will come, and I will probably periodically contract for the place I'm at now to help out. So, I'm less stressed now and have something lined up for December 1st. YES! It is a contract job for now, with the potential to hire permanent, but I don't know where I'll be in the future, so this is perfect.

Happy Dance! Cha-Cha-Cha!
