Here we go again! Oy with the hiatuses already! But folks, I need a breather. In general. My personal responsibilities have gone to seed, so to speak, and I’ve got to drop something until I get things under control. (If I ever do, LOL) I love you all very very much, but this is an enormous timesuck. I spend too much damn time on the computer at work, and worse, at home, too. All of my blogfriends seem to have it under control better than me. Like they are not online every goddamn second of the day, and they don’t answer emails in 30 seconds or less, like I seem to.
So in the spirit of NaBloPoMo (April’s theme is letters!!) I’m not posting for all of April. Just to see if I can do it. It might be permanent, I don’t know. But I will be back on May 1, even if it’s to tell you goodbye. More likely, I’ll spend 6 hours re-capping April in excruciating detail. As for blog-reading, I won’t be doing that during the day at work anymore. I have to seriously cut back when I’m at home, too. I won’t be on everyday (I’m starting to twitch…) But I will be reading email now and then, and google reader maybe once a week. And you can always call my cell, or email for the number if you want it.
So here I am, at work, on a Saturday. Again. Remember my airy-fairy little post last week about not really minding Saturday work? Remember what element I said was CRUCIAL to my feeling this way??
You guessed it, Witch-Woman (or Bitchassness McGee as I’ve been calling her in my head lately) is at work today. I found out yesterday that she’d be here today and it ruined my day yesterday. So today I knew I’d need to pull my the trump card, my iPod (with the headphones). Sirius.com is just not going to cut it, I need the auditory insulation today. And I have found some FUCKING GEMS in my ipod that I had forgotten about.
[boring post warning: contains much whining, and hardly any point at all, feel free to skim/mark as read]
It’s been sort of a blah week. I had my hopes up that witch-woman might get fired on Monday, but no such luck. And whatever “talk” they had simply resulted in her hiding her nastiness from the boss. Two little WTF moments though. Her HUSBAND came in and they all had a good 40 minute meeting. Fuck the What? Who does that? Also she is wearing a pink velour tracksuit today. We are certainly not “banker’s dress” here, but I think that the sweats are tacky even for Casual Friday, for a CPA firm. Maybe tomorrow she’ll wear the parachute material tracksuit. I CAN’T WAIT!
I want out. I’ll be looking after tax season. I have to give a month’s notice at daycare anyway.
My personal life as it relates to like taking care of shit (namely laundry) has kind of gone off the rails, too. Working 6 days a week doesn’t help, for realz.
And I can’t believe I’m still talking about witch-woman, but guess what she did yesterday. She came out muttering “I can’t stand the smell of coffee, I’ve gotta spray” to no one in particular. And then she sprayed the fucking Lysol for 30 full seconds. Unsurprisingly, I had another asthma attack (OT, I need to make an appt about that. Looks like I quit smoking in the nick of time).
Five minutes after the spraying incident, she left. TO GO GET A CUP OF COFFEE.
So I threw out the fucking Lysol. I am a passive aggressive biotch.
I have been trying not to waste spend money lately. In general, and on useless crap. But it doesn’t hurt to window shop. I found these gems here. (and I have sworn off this site because they are in canada, which means I have to sign for the package now or else the terrorists win. I’d let them if it meant I didn’t have to go to the post office ever)
So anyway, here’s some shit that made me LOL (literally) AND at the same time prove that I watch too much TV
We had a great Easter. Starting with the ham dinner last night, easter baskets and a big breakfast this morning, and the circus in the afternoon. I’m exhausted, but it was so worth it. Hope you all had a good one, too.
I am at work, which kind of sucks, but kind of doesn’t, because witch-woman is NOT HERE and I don’t have to take Ducky to a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party today!!! My mother is taking her, so double extra bonus because I don’t have to feel guilty that she’s missing it!!!! And EVEN BETTER THAN ALL THAT: Afterwards, my mom is going grocery shopping for me.
Don’t tell anyone, but even without all those things (except witch-woman being gone, that is CRITICAL), I don’t mind working Saturdays all that much. It’s only a few months of the year, it earns SUPER brownie points, and for some reason, I am extremely productive. I guess it’s because I’m task based, rather than working a shift. I usually leave when I’ve done all the 1 week or older 1040s, say.
Last night I made up Ducky’s Easter basket. Hopefully I get a picture of it. And just for the record, for those of you who think I’m depriving my daughter of “girly” delights, there are 2 My Little Ponies in there. Their names are Pinkie Pie and Pretty Pop. And the Easter grass is PINK. Can we get any girlier? (Even though I put Cars markers in there, too?) I made a basket for The Highlander, too, and poured the rest of the candy in the fuck-it bucket. Jesus, I really need to get back to the gym, because I know that candy will just magically find its way into my belly.
Speaking of things I want in my belly, have you ever eaten at Chipotle? We tried it for the first time last night, and OH MY HELL. It was so good. And even Ducky, yes, Ducky, picky eater extraordinaire ate it. I will be back. Perhaps tonight.
Have a great weekend and a Happy Easter, if you celebrate it. Otherwise, Happy-Sunday-Where-Nothing-Is-Open-Not-Even-McDonald’s.
Here’s me looking sexy pissy. No makeup, dark roots and in need of eyebrow grooming.
And here’s some of my work:
That’s a depreciation schedule and the dreaded (by me, anyway) 7-column. Which I write on in pen. For I am a rebel. Also, my mechanical pencil ran out of lead.
The ambient noise was kind of loud today, so I pulled out the iPod. Notice the song? I found it apropos.
Here’s my computer.
Notice how bare my office is? I don’t even have a picture of my family. I’d like to be able to up and quit someday. So I travel light. ALSO, there is NO TAPE in my adding machine. I quit it cold turkey. I use NO TAPE whatsoever anymore. Mostly because it discourages the raging tape-aholics from using my desk. They can’t live with out the sound….
AND HEY! I got the memory card out!!! Now The Highlander does not have to kill me. But look kids, I learned my lesson:
