Green Room - Week 14 - Day 2

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

Or should I say "meow" for the benefit of our modern day resident Dr Doolittle?*G*

Either way, what's on your agenda for today?

Morning.
My agenda:
Work then class
then home for homework and writing my idol entry.

Not to exciting.

*officially withdraws*

Good luck to everyone remaining.

*Nooooooooooo!*

All of the good people keep dropping out!

Morning! :)

First thing on my agenda for today is sleep, at least I hope that will happen.

Then spending as much time out as I can, as the power company are doing some repairs around here. So there will probably be interuptions on and off all day, and that's not goodfor my poor little computer.

Have a good Tuesday everyone!

Wants to have a good Tuesday too

Not Get pissed off and go postal on Anyone today

My goal is to be a good boy -- stay out of Carrie's way...take it easy and rest.

So far that's just not happening, yesterday I threw several hissy fits..took it out on people from LJ Idol (apologies to everyone). Got fed up with Carrie's idiot boss and basically told Carrie, If you do not march into her office then I will. I think she tried to tell her boss to let her GO now, since there's not a lot of work (not 40 hours of work) and you know...the lady was bloody clueless...I mean clueless - she can't plan...she truly believed that she didn't sit around her desk at all - that stuff she was doing took eons to complete or something.

Her girlfriend kept flip flopping on the new place we're getting -- that really stressed me out more. Finally settled it last night -- drove there at night - and you know looks safe and well lit in that area - very quiet. In fact there's security in the construction/demolition areas and the guards seem rather alert (competent? wow!). So the girlfriend feels better - going to turn in our lease/security deposit Saturday and take lots of pictures of the interiors (yes I'll post them in my LJ)

*sighs*...

I want Pepsi and a cookie now dammit!

Hissy fits are OK. I threw hissy fit last night and gonna throw a bigger one this morning. HEHEHE. So I say go for the hissy fit!

But that's just me and I'm feeling very cranky.

Glad the new place looks decent. I am impressed over this security guard issue. Wow, he must not have gotten the memo that security guards are supposed to act like they graduated from The Lame University. :) It is always nice when you see a guard actually, I don't know... doing their job! WOOT!

Fur Foam and Fabric.

It is pedal to the metal puppet making day. The fur is gonna fly!

[tryslora]

My goal is to keep my lungs where they belong. Still sick, although back at work, so BLEH.

No sick!!!!

*sprinkles magic fairy dust of getting better + 50*

Hope that helps!

Plans for today?

[ladyozma.livejournal.com]

Figure which of the losers running for president is the less evil/awful. I think my quarter may be the deciding factor. Or old fashioned "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe". Anyone else got good ideas for how to decide from the three rejects I like the least?

Take some pictures and possibly make a friends only post about the dresser. My gosh. You people from live chat last night... expect an email. Soon. I'm looking at this mess and getting angry all over again. The rest of you people, consider yourselves lucky you don't know.

Run in 17 directions at once this evening because we're quadrouple booked.

And most importantly... plan the perfect crime of passion. The man may be forfeiting... something. Junk? Life? I haven't decided just what the punishment will be... but hell hath no fury like a woman...

That's my plans for today! Can't wait to see everyone else's!

A friend of mine knightaudit wrote a concise summary of the three candidates and their positions on issues meaningful to him. (http://knightaudit.livejournal.com/74988.html) You might find it helpful.

This dog does not vote, but he does dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqbVbPvlDoM&eurl=http://lj-toys.com/?journalid=6064505&moduleid=22&auth_token=sessionless:1202778000:embedcontent:6064505%2)! Watch him and you will smile!

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

I love that routine. :)

[suesniffsglue.livejournal.com]

Got a snow day today! So 9-3 client is not happening. Which means I probably won't be able to drive to the middle of nowhere for 4-7 client either. No hours suck, but I'm amazed at how easily excited about a snow day I am

[elva-undine.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! I'm always excited about less work, even if it means less money. I've never really been able to connect my paycheck with the fact that I do work.
You can do nothing all day!

[twystedpixie.livejournal.com]

Man, people are dropping like flies around here. =/

I'm well. A wee bit hungover at the moment, but since I've not had much to drink lately, and nothing more than a few sips of wince since B and I broke up, all it took was two glasses of wine (on a full stomach, no less) to give me a bit of a headache today. Enh.

Good times...huzzah! Huzzah!

[elva-undine.livejournal.com]

It's my first day on anti-anxiety drugs and I feel like I'm in outer space jamming out with the Mick Jaggernauts.
I'm not so sure about this. How far out are you man? I'm pretty far out. That's pretty far out man.

[suesniffsglue.livejournal.com]

YOU HAVE A FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS ICON.

That just made my day. I freaking love them.

Hang in there with the meds; I'm sure if they're a good fit for you the unsureness will fade once you're accustomed.

[dragonfluff.livejournal.com]

Seems pretty quiet in here this morning...
Nothing unusual on the radar for me today. Class, teach, prelims, blah, blah, blah. Needs more coffee.

Please ignore the woman in the corner

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Agenda:
* Surviving
* Sewing.
* Taking care of myself.
* Avoiding drama at all costs.
* Keeping a promise.
* Remembering that the price for climbing up is falling down.

Be well everyone. Everything will sort itself out, eventually.

Are you feeling any better?

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

I like motorcycles, but telephone poles don't have briskets.

[anchasta.livejournal.com]

Corned beef venison and gorgonzola potatoes and cabbage coming right up after this Harley Davidson!

[40sw.livejournal.com]

bored to tears- internet is down so my job has pretty much reduced itself to mostly just explaining to people that the network is down and we don't know when it will be fixed... not endless amounts of fun

also, trying to decide if I really need to come into work on Thursday like I was going to or if I want to waste 4 hours of annual leave on getting up late and maybe going out to yoga before driving north rather than showing up at work...

Home Game, Topic: "The One I Love"

I'm watching tiny snowflakes perform like the Whirling Dervishes outside my bedroom window.

[chite.livejournal.com]

I voted, packed up Mary Kay packages for mailing/delivery, and made soup because it's DAMN cold here and I needed some soup.

Now you have me all curious, Gary. Who is our resident Dr. Doolittle, and did I miss something (again)?

Re: clauderainsrm...

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

heh, just a reference to the person who received the votes from our animal friends. He didn't set out to get them, I'm sure, but sometimes the ability to relate to the animals just comes to someone.*G*

Resting, becoming a contributing member of my household again.

This morning I made waffles for the boys. Tigger is home for break this week, and Critter has a snow day. I also cleaned off the kitchen table, which was a disorganized wreck. It is now possible to see the granite again.

Today is Flar's birthday, so we're going to PFChang's for dinner tonight.

Yay for birthdays.

[chite.livejournal.com]

yay for waffles!

I made waffles for the boy and me today. Some day he is going to have a real waffle that is not made from multigrain mix, and actually contains eggs and oil instead of applesauce. Then he will look at me with disdain and ask me what the heck I was thinking.

MMmmmm, PFChang's. Yay for birthdays indeed!

As noted in my own LJ, I almost got a job today. Actually, I DID have a job for all of 3 minutes.

While out walking yesterday, I saw one of the other brothers Pizza places (there's like 5 in this area, all owned by different people) was looking for a cook. They were closed, though, so I resolved to come back today. I had a little inside info about the dynamics; one of the waitresses at my Brothers, Deb, used to work there, & she told me all this stuff about Butch, the guy who runs the place. Not as bad as the douchebag who owned the sports bar I worked at for 14 months in 2004/5, but bad enough. Still, what the hell.

So I toddle on down there, slogging through the snow to do this thing. I'm almost there when my phone rings. Last Thursday, I'd called a place about an ad I saw for a janitorial position, 5 to 11, like 5 days a week. I'd heard nothing back so I figured what the hell. Well, this woman calls & wants to schedule an interview with me. Shiny. Now that's set up for Friday at 3.

I walk into the pizza place & announce I'm looking for a job. The guy there hands me an application & before I can fill it out starts asking if I've worked pizza before, where, why I left, asked what I did. When I said, "everything," he asked if I could make pie. "Yes." So he tells me to go in back, wash my hands, & make him a pie. Um, ok! I do that & it's a little odd because of course things are different & the like but he's OK with what he sees. Says I know the basics & that's good, he can train me, he'll start me at $8 an hour & I can go up when I learn more. Says it gets REALLY busy & people make a lot of money (which tells me they're worked to death). He asks me if I know Deb & I realize this is Butch. Makes sense.

Finally he tells me that I'm OK & asks when I can start. I tell him that I have a previously made interview with someone else on Friday & I'm about to say that I can let him know by then (I'd've tacked on 3 days anyway to reste myself & the like) when he interrupts me with "Look, you want the job or not??" I open my mouth to say "Yes, but I have this previous item that's in a field I'm trying to get into (LIE) & don't want to leave him in the middle of training" but he doesn't even give me the chance to say anything: "No, fuck it. Get the fuck outta here." What the fuck? So I left. I mean I know I'm hard up for work & all, but...what the hell? Everything Deb said was right, it seems. I could've been there on Saturday.

Anyway, yeah. I got exercise out of it (LULZ SLOGGING THROUGH SNOW) & I still have this other gig lined up for Friday. Maybe if I don't get it, I'll go back to Butch & see if he's still willing. I hear he changes his mind a lot. But I don't really wanna work for someone like that again.

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a job you don't want, sir. A boss like that would be miserable from that point on and that's not something you need to deal with.

[fidget]

I got sent home from work because the roads were total crap. On one hand, it's snowing like a mustard-eating bastard out there. On the other, it's a heat-wave compared to what it was yesterday.

So, I'll probably be knitting a little cozy for my new iPod, Fuchsia Groan (points to anybody who knows what book that name's from). I know the skin I bought for her should be enough, but she's so tiny! My purse can be dangerous. Also, I'm an overprotective mother.

iPods make it through Iraq & Afghanistan.

My entire city is coated in slushy ice right now and it promises to freeze, snow some more, and rain down with frozen ice. It's awesome. But really, who cares about the weather because I found a new place to live!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

There's a big 'ol storm heading our way sometime tonight and is supposed to last into tomorrow. Snow/freezing rain/sleet/whatever else...you know, the whole winter bit *sigh*

I chewed out one of my coworkers today. Same coworker I chewed out Sunday. It just amazes me that some people will never learn, even when you put it right up to their faces.

Other than that, I'm a bit better than I was last week. At least I now feel as though I'm in the land of the living.

This icon is finally appropriate, because, yes, it's snowing here in the NYC too. It'll probably cause a bit o'havoc on the subway tonight, I'll just grit my teeth and muddle through. My knees aren't enjoying the cold either. But hey, snow! It always makes me wistful, and kind of hopeful that I'll turn a corner and see Edward Scissorhands making an ice angel.
