just not fair

Why can’t I get a cool job like this?

How come I end up working with people who don’t like the Internet, don’t care about it and don’t want to help me?

I AM GOOD PEOPLE >>> HIRE ME! I will work for your Internet company. I will play your Wii and sit in your beanbag chairs and use your brand new Macbook Pro!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My turkey’s been in the oven since 10, I’ve already had my coffee, watched the parade and gone through the Black Friday circulars… and now I am ready for a nap!

Hope everyone has plans for a great day of feasting and family!

two dudes

There’s a show on the Food Network called Two Dudes Catering. It’s not a highbrow cooking show, but they do interesting food preparations and so I am entertained by it.

The Porkchop, on the other hand, can’t stand it. And it’s not because of the food they make or that they’re weird (although that bugs him a little), it’s because of their hair.

And the fact that they don’t wear hairnets when they cook.

And I get that, because when you look like this:

You should pin that mane back under a net when you’re cooking.

Otherwise, it’s just not right.

too cold.

When I woke up this morning it was 31 degrees. I sat down on the big chair to work, and all three animals decided to join me and steal my body warmth. The bitches.

The dog still hasn’t left, but once the furnace had kicked on for awhile, the cats abandoned me for their respective boxes. The hoochies.

I am almost done with my Christmas shopping.. the only ones I have left is my bitch sister and her family.. WHO HAVEN’T PROVIDED ME WITH A LIST. And you will NOT get presents if I do not get some actual ideas. ๐Ÿ˜› ๐Ÿ˜›

Anywho, the landlord came and took her table this weekend, so we’re down to the final stretch. Next weekend we paint and then a week from Thursday we start the move. It’s about damn time.

of dead critters and happy colleagues

A critter of some sort died in our office recently… and it’s made the sales branch of the building reek like old gym shorts soaked in cow manure. It’s that bad, yes.

There were actually flies congregating in one of the offices (we’re assuming it’s up in the ceiling in that particular room) by lunchtime. And it’s 50 degrees outside, so definitely not fly time.

I work two floors up, so the scent didn’t reach me, but the sales force was in total kill-us-now mode. It didn’t hurt that the only guy who works downstairs (the CFO who irritates me) decided to come in for 30 minutes and then leave because his ear infection was hurting him. ๐Ÿ˜›

To add insult to injury, the new guy in design is always fucking chipper. Happy, whistling, isn’t it a great day… so incredibly irritating when you are in a bad mood. Particularly when he tells you that you shouldn’t be so mad and he’s going to make you smile. Wtf? Thanks, I’d like to stay mad at my stupid ass boss and his uselessness and no, I do NOT have to smile today if I don’t fucking want too.

God. The irritation. I need a new job.

so bored, so very, very bored

I am bored. I am SO FREAKING BORED.

I can’t move for another 15 days. Half the house is packed, and I am on a cleaning (deep cleaning, really) strike until we move.

My job I do in literally two hours and then I am completely devoid of something interesting/useful to do for the next six. Which totally blows.

I don’t think you know boredom until your job is so boring you actually ask a coworker if they have something you can do.

Yeah. It’s that bad.

I mentioned the lack to my boss, whilst telling him if he and the two editors did this, this and that, I’d have something to do AND it’d be good for the company.

They’re all a little busy right now (wtf? two of them have had it on their list for over two months) was his response.

In other words, the editors are busy doing work and he’s busy being the wife of his relationship. Seriously. (I have rage, so I am venting.. deal.)

The CEO is pregnant (that’s his wife, he’s the CFO), so I know this will just get worse as the months pile on the pounds, so to speak. And that’s just really painful.

Constant boredom. Argh.

how to say i love you, courtesy of tmn

I love the Morning News… How to Say I Love You in 100 Ways.

I particularly like:
(4) with wee spaniels
(21) You purchased matching fursuits so that you could renew your vows as foxes.
(43) With a heart filled with lies
(48) Directed toward the heavy, sealed barrel in the basement where youรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve hidden the secrets.

paint questions

I finally got my invite for a Chumby and I’m really excited. My plan is to set it up with widgets and give it to my technology-hating mom for Christmas, lol.

And my boss gave me Leopard (the new Mac OS) and it is very, very cool. Some bits I don’t like, but in general it’s amazing, just like Panther was when it came out.

My parents are coming to help us move in December, but before then, I have to come up with paint colors for the two bedrooms.. and the Chop doesn’t care, so I’m totally on my own here.

So what do you like?
