Green Room - Week 14 - Day 1

So what have YOU been doing?

Here's what I've been up to: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/2011/02/15/

It's a little something for everyone - Eliminations, Tie-Breakers, Second Chances, Topics and Work Rooms! Oh my!

I figure you've at least done a little something with your week so far. Or have plans to at any rate.

Maybe you plan on watching Survivor tonight! :)

OK. Maybe that's just me.

It's not just about spending that time though, you're going to spend it regardless, it's how you spend that time, and what you get out of it.

Because that's what is important at the end of the day. The experience of what you get out of each and every day.

You can go into it looking for a fight. You can go in looking to make a new friend. That choice is out there every single time you open your eyes in the morning.

(Personally most days I tend to sleep walk through most of it, but that's just me. Don't be me! :D)

It's a brand new "Week of Idol" how are you going to start it?

I'm three days into this sudden-onset flu thing-- sick for the second time in four months, damn my immune system all to hellllll-- and considering taking my last bye this week just to have time to rest.

I've actually been planning on taking my last bye for the last five weeks, but I always end up with something at the last minute, so >_>;; Noooot a really reliable ambition, this one. (With my luck, I'll write something this week and Gary will decide SUDDEN EXTREME ELIMINATIONS will occur and I'll be keysmashing my way into a tantrum because I didn't get a chance to use it to keep in the competition. Such a lamer sometimes. Such. A. Lamer. me, not anyone else here.)

Work last night brought out all the rage in me. #1 - one of the boys is a complete douche and was being more of a douche than usual. He is also little brother to one of the managers. #2 - horrible old lady regular came in and I got stuck serving her three times, even though another girl was on with me. The other girl was free while I was placing together a huge order but horrible old lady ignored her and waited for me - nearly ten minutes when she COULD have been served immediately. Other girl happens to be black. Horrible old lady just got even MORE horrible.

I sacrificed during Week #14 last year. If I make it one more week, I'll have been in longer than last year (ignoring 20+ additional weeks of home game).

Anyhow, wrote a first draft of my Week #14 piece. "Cracks" suggested something almost immediately, so expect a touching examination of the history of plumber's pants from me.

Coin slots, that is.

lol. Butt cracks was my first though, too. If I hadn't thought up another direction, I'd probably still be thinking about writing something that involved them.

D: horrible racist old lady.

Ugh:( I hope you feel better soon!

That's right -- Survivor starts again tonight! And TAR starts again this Sunday! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I've got several crackin' ideas for my entry. One of them is very obvious :points to foot:

Speaking of which, I got the OK to wear The Boot to work as long as I wear The Tent over it. The Tent is, well, a tent you step into and there's Velcro straps to attach it to the cast. It's used so you can walk around outside when there's precipitation. We're not allowed to wear open toed anything at work, of course, so The Tent satisfies that requirement.

Thing is, it also makes my foot look like it has an anvil attached to it. I can't really walk too well in it, so this will be an adventure :p

I tried to at least take a light tone this time.

I really wish I could be funny. I kind of tried to be this week but I rarely can pull off an entry that makes me people.

I really wish I could though. I love reading those kind of entries!

Sounds delicious. You have a good man, Pixie..but you know that:)

Biggest Loser is so inspiring!

I hope you share your good news?:)

[identity profile] similiesslip.livejournal.com 2011-02-16 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I look forward to your home game entry:)

[identity profile] similiesslip.livejournal.com 2011-02-16 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
See...that's funny. Why didn't I think of that?

[identity profile] similiesslip.livejournal.com 2011-02-16 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck! Sounds very tiring:( (lugging a boot around)

::hugs::

[identity profile] xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com 2011-02-16 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
The Boot is quite tiring as well, which is why I don't like wearing it unless I HAVE to :p

[identity profile] ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com 2011-02-16 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. And the strained muscles in my leg. Between the two I can't do capoeira and it's really getting annoying. :( Thanks for the well-wishes.

By getting ready for the weekend(s) to follow. We don't have any time off from now until March 10th

[identity profile] ravenshrinkery.livejournal.com 2011-02-16 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. Me too. But travel must happen today, so hopefully I can heal while busy! ;)

* I have slept and showered since the GR was posted. Much better!

* I have had hot tea this morning but not yet coffee. Hubby will be delivering me a cup o' Starbucks after he has breakfast with the GF at IHOP.

* I have an idea for this week's topic! And it's a good one (at least I think so) and will hopefully be way better than last week's bottom-of-the-pack entry. I have even started writing it, yay!

* Okay, back to work - I'll drop by later when I've got a few more minutes to spare.
