manic monday

wish it was sundaaaaaaay...

i dunno how i feel today. i'm tired--physically and emotionally. not to sound ungrateful, but i'm tired of people going on and on about how wonderful my straight hair is. i'm happy with it! i love it! i just don't want to go around to everyone saying "look at me! i had curly hair and now it's straight!" this person at work kept doing that for me. she'd go tell people i've never even talked to and how great my hair looks. thank you. i think i said that a billion times. i also told her to stop it! i'm an attention monger when i want to be and today really wasn't that day. so it's old news to me now and i hope maybe tomorrow we can go on with our business.

speaking of business...today i realized how people use me at work. this one lady, bless her heart, has cancer right. so she only comes to work like once or twice a week. well today was a day she came in, but she didn't do anything. our boss gave her something to do and the only reason i know that is because at the end of the day she brought it to me and asked me to do it in the morning since she didn't get to it today. why didn't she get to it today? it was a simple put a label on an envelope and mail thing. she didn't get to it b/c she spent the whole (and i mean entire 3 hours) afternoon talking to people in our office. mind you there is a grand total of 5 people who work there and answer the phone when it rings: myself, cancer woman, naive girl, hick woman, perm lady. well...if cancer woman, naive girl and perm lady are all chatting it up in the break room...who's left to do any work? myself and the hick woman. and the hick woman doesn't do shit unless the building is on fire and there's no other options. so it just kind of upset me that at the end of the day when i spent the whole afternoon working my ass off, she brings me this assignment she was given and expects me to take care of it in the morning, and NOT LET ANYONE KNOW I'M DOING HER WORK! that's what peeved me most i guess.

but on the other hand, i feel bad griping about all of this because i am getting like 7 days off from work without being charged and we never work a whole day on fridays and when my paycheck was short my boss gave me cash to make up the difference and i got a fancy new keyboard and wireless mouse to play with and no one else did. i still love my job! i just wish i wasn't taken advantage of so often.

i just got done washing and restyling my straight hair. it's not as easy as it looks! but it's still easier than it used to be. took me like 15 mins instead of an hour. yay. it's so short i can't pull it back in my clippy anymore though!

al franken and bill o'reilly mixed it up on c-span. they just showed a clip of it just a sec ago on MSNBC. i don't care for either of them, but i love how BOR acts so childish when he's in an arguement. i watch his show every now and then just to see him freak out and yell at people.

anyway...i guess i'm just gripey today. i'm going on vacation in 3 days though! yay!
