Oh, tommy, that sucks. What a waste of time and energy.

I'm supposed to go get new tires for the car today. It's developed a suspicious shimmy, most likely due to patching one when it went bad a month or so ago. I don't even want to go out. The wind is ugly and the ice in our badly plowed parking lot is pretty thick. Am ruminating.

Well, because of efficient public transportation, I only wasted about 45 minutes.

Oh Deena - Did Kara explain how yams turn her into a vampire?

She didn't explain. She acted like it was one of those things everyone knows. She was offended when I laughed.

She's playing dinosaurs right now on the dining room table.

Dinosaur 1: However....
Dinosaur 2: What does however mean?
Dinosaur 1: However means You. Will grow. A baby. Today.

Dear heaven this girl is weird. Cute, but weird.

But on the down side, I schlepped my ass to Evanston Hospital, but they had no record of the blood tests I'm supposed to have done.

Boo hiss! (I used to temp in the records department when I was in college, and unfortunately I can't say I'm surprised.)

Oh good, I've completed four days of work, and only have three more to go.

I need to work up the ambition to get dressed so I can go cash my check that I got on Wednesday. It is severely wrong that I am so depressed about anything that has to do with work, that even cashing my paycheck is burdonsome.

So wrong.

I want a job where I occationally, unexpectedly get days off, instead of frequently, unexpectedly have to work.

ETA: I refrained from laughing and/or crying when bosslady asked for volunteers to cover some shifts on my next actual weekend off.

Someone please say something that will make me want to get dressed and go to the bank!

It's money, baby!! MON-AY. It sounds as if you are ready to quit this job. Are you looking for other work?

Who put a container of salt next to the sugar and creamer containers in the work kitchen? Especially when said container is the same color and basic size as the sugar.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
