Ah, the sun has made an appearance today. It was out briefly on Saturday, but hasn't been seen since. How I have missed ye.

I like mornings where I don't have to go do pizza dough--where I get a full night's sleep and can take my time getting ready for work. I actually feel like a normal person today.

Why do some gas pumps have a "pay here credit" and "pay here debit" buttons and then when you push the "pay here credit" button and put your card in, it asks you again if it is a debit card? I told you it was credit already, dammit! If you have a debit card and cannot push the appropriate button in the first place, then tough--you lose 'cause you're stupid. Just a small something that annoys me on a regular basis.

When I was at the Cherry Creek mall last Friday for the Tiger Premiere, I wandered down to the Build-A-Bear store. There was a party going on there and the kids were singing the Chicken Dance. I didn't know that song had lyrics. The part I had stuck in my head was:

I don't wanna be a chicken,
I don't wanna be a duck,
so I shake my tail

I found a cute little catalog when we were going through the files at work yesterday looking for clues as to where our company's web site is hosted. It's for a company called Computer Gear that sells goofy gifts for the geeky. I ordered the new catalog because paper catalogs are easier to browse than an Internet site and I like having catalogs in the bathroom. Does that make me weird? Anyway, I think I've found a source for Christmas gifts. lol

Well, I'd better get moving. Everybody have a great day!

Went to another clinic today, missed two hours of work, dropped $140 I can't afford to spend and still don't have a solution. The doctor took a couple of cultures and a urine sample and I have to wait 48 hours to see if anything grows. Cross your fingers that something does so I can get some answers. I'm really sick of feeling like crap.

On a different note, they picked a new pope today. A talk show host said the event had significant impact on Catholics and non-Catholics alike. No, it doesn't. I'm not religious and I don't give a rat's ass who their pope is. It's just some man who heads (in my extremely cynical opinion) a corrupt organization. Even if there is a god, I doubt very much that just because a bunch of guys claiming to be men of god pick one guy over the rest makes that single guy God's representative on earth. It's all a crock. I don't see how any particular person being a pope has squat to do with my life except that it took over my Starting Over episode today. </rant>

Sorry, just feeling totally bitchy today. I'm PMSing really bad, I haven't gotten enough sleep with the schedule change and that neighbor fiasco this last weekend, my dumb boss showed up an hour and a half earlier than he was scheduled so I had to see him this morning, creditors have been calling my cell mercilessly today and I have no money to pay them, I was late to work because traffic totally sucked, I felt useless there today because I don't know enough to be totally useful and there weren't any projects I could work on by myself, then I had to leave work early and for what? My car was acting up really bad today, I feel like shit, no television to watch because yesterday's Medium was a repeat and the pope pre-empted SO and Gilmore Girls tonght sucked. All my eBay auctions ended today and nobody bought anything. Oh, and we're out of food. Grrrrr.

I know this will all get better eventually (like in a week after my period is over and I get used to the new routine). I'm just frustrated in the meantime.

Also, I miss my afternoon nap.

In a little over an hour and a half, I'll be starting my new job. I'm sure I can handle it, but I've still got the first day jitters and am feel totally sick to my stomach. Of course, I also did not sleep well last night due to said jitters. *sigh* Wish me luck.

When I was driving to work this morning, a herd of deer were congregating in the road a few blocks from my house. I didn't know that deer wandered this close to my abode. I knew that there are skunks, racoons, foxes...but deer? Too cool. There is something really peaceful and amazing about deer herds. They fascinate me for some reason. What a great way to start the day.

I was surfing the 'net finding quotes I liked to put in my array and pasting them in a gmail message to mail to myself. I had quite a few and then closed the window without sending the message. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. *sigh* I guess that's what happens when a dog wakes you up from your nap too soon.
