M&M's

I notice the weird way that I eat M&m's. I have to empty out the whole package and line up the M's by color. The I absolutely need to eat the color with the least M's first. Then build up to the most M's of the next color and so on.

I find this strangely amusing that I just can't eat whatever M's without lining them up.

Regular

Not much really to say. I am ready to finalize the plans of my move and can't wait to just have that over and done with. The fun part is really decorating and furnishing the place so that's what I'm looking forward too.

Maybe I should back up a bit. I haven't really been blogging about this so some people may be lost. I have purchased an apartment so that I ma finally think of myself as truly independent with a mortgage and everthing. All is done, approved, stamped and sealed except I don't have a closing date. That being said I'm happy that I'm moving but sort of scared too. It's a big commitment and a ginourmous step for me to take, but it was on my "List" and I got it done.

Anywho, I shall be updating as I get closer to the move and will let everyone know of the housewarming festivities. Wish me luck in not losing my mind the next few days.

Working on a Saturday Morning

And the saga continues. I am working on saturday which wouldn't be so bad if I actually knew at what time I'm getting off but I don't know. At least I got some much needed rest last night so I don't feel as tired and I know that my phone won't be rining off the hook today. So, that being said, what I really wanted to do today was go to the park. It's a nice day and I figured I would head outdoors and do something active. I wanted to go blading today but doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Better get to work, just saw Lord Helmet pass by.

Flower Attack

Interesting to see how people react when you get flowers sent to your office. I got flowers from the Pickle Family yesterday, just a little congratulations note. They are so sweet, they sent sunflowers which are my favorites.

So out of all the lazy people that I work with, I've never seen them move so fast. All they wanted to know if who sent the flowers to me. I didn't feel like telling them because it's just not their business. It just amazes me what they have the energy for.

Lazy People

Well another day another dollar. Yesterday I couldn't stay late because I had a doctor's appointment but I did come in early today. I feel so bad for those that stayeed until 11pm or later yesterday. That really takes a toll on you, hope you get to sleep in today.

What I don't like are those people that complain every single second first thing in the morning. We know we are involved in this project for whatever reason, the work needs to be done. Why do you have attitude? You know some people are actually working harder than you are! There is no motivation whatsoever. Partly I understand, we are overworked and underpaid, but do you really need to frown at everything and make it completely obviuos that you are just going to sit in your chair hoping that no one sees you so that you get no work and wait and hope that some one finds you only after all the work is done.

Well I am going to try and get some stuff off my desk until I here some news from the war room.

Midnight Oil

I didn't get to burn the midnight oil as anticipated last night, they sent a few of us home early like around 9 since we didn't get the file that we needed. Today we had to be here at 6:30am though, so being as I didn't sleep last night I am kinda burning that midnight oil after all.

My question for today is why are people so lazy? So lazy infact that they don't want to use their brain. I know it's early but it's not that early.

What the Eff!

I'm taking a break from work right now. It's a much needed and well deserved break since we have been informed that we are staying here till the wee hours. And these are really wee hours like 12 midnight and 2 am. (Say it with me - what the eff!) The reason why we are all so busy is because we are switching all of the payroll and HR systems at once. For those select few that have been chosen to be a part of this, it's going to be a long night.

On another note, my hair has managed to stay flat for the past 2 days in a row. Why you ask? because the weather is cooperating. It's been really nice out both yesterday and today. Yesterday I made it a point to leave at 5 and I'm glad I did. I was able to catch Jaws at Bryant Park which was the last movie of the film festival. It was a gorgeous evening. I went with GM.

Today I shall enjoy a long work day so no nice weather for me.

Sweet Soap

I started using the soap that Magpie brought me from England and I love it. It smells sooooo good and doesn't feel slimy at all like regular soap. I especially enjoy the fact that it makes my whole bathroom (NY sized of course) smell awesome. Thanks for the wonderful soap.

Not so groovy......

It's Friday, and even though this is usually the time of the week I feel groovy, I don't today. I'm annoyed at the world and very irritable. I'm trying to curb my mood by listeining to spanish music, mainly merengue, which manages to make me upbeat if I listen to it enough.

Anyway, I'm hoping this weekend I can just relax and not think so much. I also need to get a few things in order around the house. I want to go to the beach tomorrow, GM will most likely come with as she's been wanting to go to the beach as well. If I don't get to the beach I will hang out in Central Park, tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day so I want to be outdoors.

Random Thoughts

I had refreshing dinner today with friends and have managed to put my mind in overdrive. How in the world did that happen? I already think too much as it is and don't need any excess "to do's" on my mind.

It has suddenly occurred to me that although I have done a lot I still have so much more to learn and so much more I want to do. I want to advance my career, I want to go to graduate school, I want to make my business grown, I want to help others, I want to spend more time with family and friends, I want to have more fun (and more sleep), I want to find love, etc. etc.....That's a lot of wanting for such a tiny person. As always I think that maybe I should come up with a plan, and it has to have at least 10 points. But then again, I always have a plan.

This time I think I'll tackle one thing at a time and try not to panic. At least I've acknowledged that I have a lot that I want to accomplish and need to do something about it if nothing else. After tomorrow I'm sure that I'll feel better as I expect to have something resolved (for the most part) after tomorrow night.

By the way, for those that are familiar with the concept of "The List", all this wanting stuff is in addition to all the things that are already on the list. Any advice and input is welcome.

Delirious

I feel as though I am caught in a terrible torando, sort of like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, and been violently thrown into a land of make believe. I've been horrible busy at work, putting in crazy hours and all sorts of junk. I now run on caffeine and sugar. Those are the 2 major food groups. Lord Helmet runs a tight ship you know.

Mrs. Potatohead has managed to annoy me every single moment of every day. I personnally think she's made it her life persuit to create termoil in the office when it's not necessary. We have now formally assigned a name to another one of the characters in the office, she will now be known as Little Miss Snot Nose. We may or may not shorten that to LMSN for typing purposes.

Anyway, next week the situation will most likely be worse but who knows. The nemisis and I are trying to keep up beat which is extremely hard because we expect the worse.

Godmother

Friday is coming up so I'm excited and ready for the weekend. I'm ready to rest and have some off time. This week has been pretty hectic at work so I haven't been around as much.

Mini-Pickle is being Christened on sunday and I have been named GodMother so that's really exciting for me, I've never been godmother before and don't know what it's going to be like. I wonder if it's anything like being the Godfather, not just anygodfather the Godfather. Do I get a pinky ring that everyone has to kiss? Does everyone now call me Godmother? That would be cool.

Nothing else really in my plans. Just lounge around the house and take in some leisure time. Almost done with Animal Farm, i have some pretty interesting takes on it but I won't go into it now. Maybe tomorrow after I'm done.

Honorable Mention

It is with deep regret that I must inform to you that Killer (my Venus Fly Trap)has died. I guess it was only a matter of time since I only fed it once.

How Rude!

I can't help but think that people don't take me seriously because I'm a young single woman.

I went to take care of some business that I had to handle with the local neighborhodd housing program. I had to attend some seminar thing to get a certificate to show to my bank, so I'm there and 2 other ladies are there. The seminar was to last 1 teenie tiny hour so I thought to myself this is going to be painless. Thought to quick. It appears as though the man running the "show" (for lack of better word) thought I was an airhead. At each point he thought it would be fair to ask "are you following us ok?". Needless to say I was livid, livid at the fact that out of the 3 women there I was the most informed (I could have done his job if I wanted to) but was thought to be the most ignorant. This really pissed me off because people judge you before they know you and that is just not right.

I left without saying a word. I just thought to myself that this idiot probably just met someone way smarter than he is and did not realize it or want to acknoweldge my success at an early age. Maybe if he would have stopped looking at my boobs and looked in my eyes he would have realized it.

Fat

I am having one of those days where I feel fat. I feel big and uncomfortable and yucky. I wonder why that is? I know it has nothing to do with actual weight, maybe I'm just retaining water. It's just so disgusting to feel this way.

Not Much

I had a pretty good weekend if you would like to know. I went to see Aterciopelados (colombian rock in spanish) on Saturday since they were playing Summerstage at Central Park. They are pretty good, I'm getting old thought I think because towards the end of the show I just thought the music was too loud. I'm the only Granma in there wishing people would be quite and the music were a little softer. After theat we went to see Wedding Crashers, which was funny. Yesterday I just rested all day. I didn't even do the things that i wanted to do around the house. I'm such a lazy bum but sunday was meant for rest.

We will be having a ruough week this week since we have been already told that we have to stay late to meet some deadline. Tomorrow I'm off to take care of some business. More to come on that subject, but I'm off to work for now.
