There are construction people outside my window (I’m on the 2nd floor of a 3 story building) who are banging away at old paint and wood on windows above me, dropping said paint and wood on my air conditioner (really loud and scares the shit out of me each time they do it) and all of them talk like Boomhauer from King of the Hill.
This is going to be a very, very long day…
I came in this morning not feeling all that well (allergies+working like a dog on my midterm for the last few days). Suddenly people come in asking if I’m preggers. LOL.
Since my boss is gone yesterday and today, I have been utterly worthless. I’ve answered maybe 3 phone calls and done one travel authorization. Yawn. If it weren’t so dishonest, I’d probably just leave, since no one cares where I go or what I do, so long as at the end of the day, everything gets done. I’ve spent a lot of time on the Knot laughing at people’s posts. I have lost all faith in humanity when grown women act like 12 year olds. It’s pretty funny, though.
This week is “fall break” and it runs Wednesday night-Monday morning, so even though I have to work, I don’t have class this week (except for my class last night). It’s hardly a leisurely break, as I have shitloads to do between now and next week. For one, I have a midterm due in my BEP 565 class, I need to prepare a presentation for my BEP 500 class and I need to get cracking on my annotated bibliography for my BEP 561 class. Not to mention I haven’t done squat on my AESA presentation. I just really have no idea how I want to do it. I have the paper written, I just don’t know how I’ll create a presentation out of it.
OK, back to the Knot where I can laugh at 19 year olds who are having 4 year engagements because “that’s the way they used to do it and we want to be classic,” and attention whores who complain about being too skinny for their size 4 Reem Acra gown.
I’ve become such an LJ slacker. Work has actually taken up a lot of my time so my usual “sit around and fool around on the internet until my boss shows up” just isn’t happening. Not to mention I’m totally swamped with academic stuff. Nothing exciting going on in my life to blog about. Sigh.
Half day today, so that I can chill out, bake Scott’s b’day cake and do stuff that I never have time to do because I work so damn much. Class last night was cancelled which would have been awesome had I known about it beforehand. I just went home and did laundry and made something to take to a lunch we’re having at work today. I really have a little more than an hour before I can bump out of here. Soooo glad to be getting out.
My toe is still throbbing, but it definitely looks much less disgusting than it did Friday morning (I seriously thought I was going to pass out when I had to take off the dressing.) I just wish I were more mobile because there’s a lot I need to do at work that would be a hell of a lot easier if I could just walk places, and driving certainly isn’t an option. The parking situation here is even worse than it was before, yet somehow they justified a $20 increase in decals. I don’t see anything fair about taking away almost ALL of the parking near where I work yet charging me more for receiving less. Guh. Once my foot heals and the temperature drops, I’m biking in every day.
In other news, I think we may have found our invitations. Opinions?? I realize they’re DIY, but if we order them soon, we’ll have plenty of time to work on them and print them. We just can’t justify the cost of printed invites when we can find such cute ones to do on our own. There’s matching thank-you notes, but those suckers are expensive. We’ll see.
ETA: I found blank notecards that match the invitations that can just as easily be used as thank yous and will be far more affordable. This is looking good!
