Rocking my socks right now
2007-10-22 21:57:00 I don’t always hate my job. A few nights ago, a lady asked me for a glass of water with lots of extra lemons, so I got her a glass of water, put a slice of lemon on the rim, and took out of dish of about six more slices. She HUGGED me - in all ... More About: Random , Rant , Waiter , Socks , Right Now
Apparently it?s ?Welcome All Asshats Week? at work
2007-10-19 07:40:00 I just wish someone had been nice enough to warn me. I had a whole rant written out about my evening, but I deleted it. What’s the point? No matter what I do, someone out there is always going to feel justified - for God knows whatever reason - in making up lies on the ... More About: Work , Rant , Week , Waiter , Parent
Fickle
2007-10-16 19:21:00 So I mentioned that we’ve been house hunting and did put an offer in on one house. El Boyfriend and I have been rather annoyed that the sellers have been very slow in getting back to us when needed, but this lack of interest on their part might have turned out to be a blessing. While ... More About: Yuck
Unfortunately, I don?t see any listings for ?Professional Hermit?
2007-10-14 23:06:00 It’s shifts like the one I just came off of that bring me thisclose to quitting my job so that I can lobby for laws to be passed prohibiting asshats from eating in non-fast food restaurants.

Audience participation highly encouraged
2007-10-12 03:50:00 Okay, I think I’ve found a layout that might last a little longer than five minutes. I might tweak it a bit more, like change the font in the posts and shorten the header, I’m not sure yet. I also need to add my Flickr photos to the sidebar. So, feedback? I think most people read ...

Well, knowing is half the battle?
2007-10-10 15:02:00 Yesterday was the first (non-sick) weekday that I’ve had off in what feels like a long time. My kid was at school, El Boyfriend was at work, it was nice and quiet and I felt like a little celebration was in order, so I went up to the store, picked up a magazine and a gossipy paperback novel masquerading ...

2007-10-08 22:23:00 Ok, I can’t fuss about not being able to go to the circus because I ended up taking David myself on Saturday night, and lo and beHOLD, David actually enjoyed himself. I do believe he even exclaimed “WHOA!” on more than one occasion. Across the parking lot from the circus there was some small carnival ... More About: Thinking
Lions and tigers and houses, oh my!
2007-10-04 20:09:00 It looks as though El Boyfriend has finally found something fun he can do with my son - he’s taking him to the circus tonight, and I hope my son is not too cool/old to enjoy it. My son has never been to a circus, except for the one that I suspect takes over his brain at ... More About: Tigers , Houses , Lions , Cohabitation
Hello, good-bye
2007-10-03 22:11:00 As mentioned yesterday, we went to see a couple of houses today and have decided to move forward on one of them. I refuse to say “buying” until said home is actually bought. Will not have broken heart like last year. Must rush to get ready for work now, plz send a day off in lieu ... More About: Good
Like Jessie Spano, only without the caffeine pills
2007-10-02 21:46:00 “No time! There’s never! any! time!” And if you understand the reference you should have stopped watching those “Saved by the Bell” reruns a long time ago. Ahem. Anyway, bits and pieces, ’cause of that whole time issue: Y’all gotta come out of lurkdom/leave your feedreaders tomorrow and comment on the blogs you read. Come to think of it, ...

Stick THAT in your Oktoberfest and suck it, NYEH
2007-10-01 17:11:00 Ok, so somewhere in the annals of recent history, September 2007 is sitting around in a daze thinking “WTF? I was out in the world for all of two seconds and then October 2007 just comes barreling through, taking everyone by surprise and making me look boring and unmemorable with its Oktober fest and Halloween and the Best. ...

There oughtta be a law?
2007-09-28 20:04:00 against leaving the house if you even have so much as the sniffles. Seriously, people, I don’t want your germs!

More hard-earned wisdom?
2007-09-25 21:01:00 Last night at work I waited on a family who I’m told comes in quite often. The gentleman in the family said that I have waited on them quite often and that I’m a good server, and while I thanked them for the compliment I felt very bad about not remembering them. It’s really very ... More About: Rant , Hard , Wisdom , Waiter
The mind-body connection
2007-09-21 17:26:00 If I didn’t believe in it before, I most certainly do now. Mind is the sensible one. Mind is the one who knows I need to eat better, get some exercise, reminds me that if I want to lose weight I need to get up and do something about it. Mind is the one making plans, ...

Everyone else is backwards
2007-09-20 16:18:00 I love how drowsy, dull-witted, and spaced-out a daytime allergy medicine makes me feel. Um, NOT. That’s all I can manage at this point…allergy medicines are the heartless killers of the brain cells required to write thoughtful blog posts. More About: Rant , Backwards
El Boyfriend?s hard-earned wisdom
2007-09-19 16:34:00 Spraying air freshener on the back of your shorts will not actually make your farts smell better. The air freshener will, however, leave a wet spot on said shorts. This wisdom brought to you by a man recently turned 47 years old, and sponsored by Lysol. More About: Boyfriend , Hard , Wisdom , Cohabitation
I Hate Wal-Mart, Reason number 67,825,149:
2007-09-18 17:55:00 But, um, don’t click this link around mealtimes, is all I’m saying. So, we have the fact that they work their employees 24/7/365, which means that employees of companies who support them must also be available to work 24/7/365, hence last year’s holiday rant. There’s also their warped idea of “employee benefits.” Then we have the fact of them selling ... More About: Hate , Mart , Wal-Mart , Rant , Reason

The day after
2007-09-12 21:43:00 I freely admit that maybe it’s just me, and maybe I’m about to piss some people off, BUT. If the slogan is “9/11, we will never forget,” then why do all the American Flags ONLY come out on September 11th? September 12th, they’re gone again, nowhere to be found.

Utterly adorkable

Not-so-Greased Lightnin?
2007-09-10 22:38:00 So it’s been raining and thunderstorming on and off here for at least a week, and while I could praise the benefits of such weather - “Yay, the pond out back is full!” and “Yay, now I don’t have to water the geraniums with tap water!

And how was your day, Internet?
2007-09-05 23:25:00 This is probably the thing I dislike the most about working outside the home: playing catch-up on my time off. I have extreme hatred for the whole “Work first, life second” philosophy. Let this be a lesson to you, kids: Go to SCHOOL.

So I had a bad day?
2007-08-30 17:03:00 and thank goodness no one started singing that song to me. Not that it’s a bad song, just that it’s one that I might have liked a lot if it wasn’t so overplayed. There are a lot of songs on that list. Anyway, things are getting better. We are house hunting again, something I actually kind of ... More About: Random , Bad Day
I don?t think so
2007-08-27 21:27:00 Apologies ahead of time to those who may be bothered by how sporadic my posting may start to become.

Catastrophically Underrated, Part Eleventy Billion
2007-08-25 20:44:00 Nutless brownies. My sweet tooth was making what I thought to be a fairly reasonable demand last night for something somewhat gooey and very yummy, but not too complicated.

If you wouldn?t let her do it at home?
2007-08-23 16:43:00 then don’t let her do it out in public. Seriously, I’m pretty sure there’s a reason you don’t give your child the sugar bowl as a toy when you’re sitting around the breakfast table. So letting her play with the sugar caddy in a restaurant isn’t such a hot idea either. Unless you want to tip ... More About: Home , Rant

It?s not exactly a post about my feet
2007-08-21 22:16:00 What’s a girl gotta do to get a comfortable pair of non-skid shoes around here?

I?m glad it?s not me
2007-08-17 20:05:00 I had forgotten how very attention whorish teenage girls can be sometimes. Maybe it sounds a little harsh, but I say “attention whorish” because there’s really no other reason for one teenage girl to be screaming at the top of her lungs her side of a conversation with the non-hearing-impaired-girl two inches away from her.
