Man, I feel like shit. The weather is icky, I'm tired, I'm still crampy and I'm trying to get sick. President Bush is on the television, so no Survivor or Friends until 9 p.m. when I can catch them on the west coast channels. I forgot to eat anything today and I don't feel like making dinner. I've got at least 18 batches of dough to make tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it. It's supposed to start snowing overnight and I hate driving on icy highways. Oh, well. I guess I'd better go rustle up some food.

I'm watching a show on E! called "The Women of Survivor." OMG, I almost forgot that Survivor Africa is on tomorrow. WhoooHooo! I can't wait. I know it's lame to like shows like that, but I do, okay?

There's a chill in the air this evening. Somebody close by is burning a fire. Burning wood has got to be one of my favorite smells in the whole world. Especially on a crisp fall evening. That is a nice thing about living out of the city. No wood burning restrictions. Some of my favorite childhood memories revolve around fires. *sigh* I wish I could build one now, but alas, I have to go to bed soon. Pooh.

Current mood: exhausted
I guess I spoke too soon. I couldn't post until today. I feel so bad for the guy that has to deal with all the blogger server issues. I'm sure most users aren't as understanding of the complexity of how this all works as I.

I'm back to not sleeping again. Damn that stupid owner for being so imcompetent. I don't need this kind of stress right now. On top of that, I really dislike one of the managers and now he's working the opening shift. He always shows up a half hour ealier than he's supposed to (I thought they were having labor percentage issues). He also uses a soap or cologne or something that I'm super allergic to and each of the 20 zillion or so trips he takes to the back of the store where I'm working sends me into an allergic coughing fit. The other managers make a pile of dishes and a pile of boxes. Two trips to the back and they're done. He comes back EVERY TIME he has a dish or a box. What a waste of time. I was really rude to him today. One of my pet peeves is people asking how you're doing when they really don't care. Well, I told him how I was doing. I felt like crap and let him know it. I'm having the worst cramps this week than I've had in years (I didn't tell him THAT), but I feel quite shitty today. Hopefully that will teach him not to ask me how I'm doing. Ok, well, I guess I better finish this up and go home. I really don't feel like driving anywhere. It's days like today that I hate living so far away.

Man, it's about time. I've been trying to get on Blogger to publish the corrections to my last entry all afternoon. I always read about people complaining about Blogger, but this is the first time I've ever had a problem. Isn't it funny that just a few short years ago, we didn't even have all this technology. Now when it doesn't work right away, we get pissy. lol

Speaking of getting pissy, these anti-war people are starting to get on my nerves. I'm even starting to find blogs about it. Without the military or military action, we would not be the free people that we are today. I'd like to have these people have to live in some third world country for just a week and see if they still have the anti-American sentiments that they so like to spout. Like the goth chick at Littleton high a couple of weeks ago that was wearing the upside down flag on her ass with the phrase "F*** Americanism" written on it. Send her butt to someplace like Afghanistan where women aren't allowed to do squat. Let's see how much she hates America then. I know I complain a lot, but I know my problems are nil compared to those people in other countries who fight daily just to survive. This is a wonderful country full of amazing opportunity. The shortcomings in my life are no one's fault but my own.

Well, enough of that. I've got to make dinner.

Current mood: freezing
Man, I am freakin' cold. I hope I'm not getting sick. My hands feel like icicles right now. Hopefully, it is just a result of my monthly visitor showing up today. I don't have time to be really sick right now.

Work sucks (what else is new?). They're using more dough, but overall sales were down. I hate working harder for less money. The manager at one of the stores has had a crush on one of the drivers for what seems like forever. He got there way early this morning to do her prep work (making salads, stocking coke cooler, etc.). She's got a boyfriend. What a loser. Sad thing is, this guy is a couple of years older than I (that makes him pushing 40). I should've guessed she was the day driver when he doused himself in half a bottle of cologne. ick.
