Cool talk about whatever the hell ya wanna talk about...

So I am, at the moment, painfully bored.

I've written my newscasts....and am now sitting here waiting for my air shift to start....with nothing better to do than well...this...

SO - just thought I"d open a thread about nothing in particular....

I'm start with an update of sorts.

IN another post I mentioned a guy who recently dumped my ass for a slutty more flirtatious girl...

Well - things didn't work out with them (she totally blew him off). He then e-mails me and says he made a mistake and wants to try things with me again...

Well as swept off my feet as I was by his romantic jesture I just had to say no - dumb ass.

Seriously....I'm not going to be anyone's "safety" especially this guy....the NERVE!!!

Yeah - totally random...and haha...probably no one cares...but again, I'm bored and just thought I'd post...something new....anything....lol


ALSO - this damn election needs to be over already - it totally crossed the line when both Kerry and bush showed up in my dreams last night

I'll bite. Vent Fest 2004! Hi, Deanna!

I have a LOT to do at work right now, but no motivation to do it, since we're probably all getting fired awfully soon. Who wants to work their ass off at a job there's no guarantee of still having in a week? Graah! The guy I sit next to is in the middle of having a total **** fit about one of the women he works for. The woman is a total bitch, and got one of my friends fired last year on a whim- so it amuses me to no end that she's up to it again.

I'm nursing the end of a cold. I stayed home in bed on Wednesday, the first time I'd called in sick in months and months, and watched pretty much all of the Season 3 Alias DVDs. And now I'm back here, miserable as ever. I managed to smoke half a pack of cigarettes with a sore throat last night, though- I went out and stuck with a friend who's vowed to stop drinking. I pledged to not drink with him last night in solidarity, but sheesh- we just smoked like chimneys to stay away from the tasty booze. And I don't want to be here. But it's almost the weekend, and I have three fantabulous episodes of the Gilmore Girls cued up on my Tivo.

And it sounds like a good thing you kicked that dick to the curb!

Wow - that woman sounds like a bitch....and yeah - she sounds pretty manipulative....so it sucks though that she screws with people like that...people infuriate me.

Sorry about your cold...but at least you're at the end of the cold rather than the beginning? Smoking half a ciggie pack doesn't sound like a good way to get rid of the cold though

And if you don't mind my asking - why do you all think you may be fired in a week...?

LOL...my boss left for the day - everyone is gone pretty much...so I'm just here...waiting for my air shift to start - which it finally does in fifteen minutes...

My boss sits right next to me so sometimes it's hard to surf the Ledge - which should probably tell me that I shouldn't be doing that at work...lol...but eh - no one's said anything....so I'm gonna keep doin' it

I don't use the C-word very often, but this woman is the very epitome of it. Hate her. She just walked down here a few minutes ago, too, to bring up whatever issue it is up with the poor guy all over again.

And no, smoking isn't the smartest way to get rid of a cold. But it helped the pain of not drinking.

I work for one of the major record labels, we just merged (not hard to figure out which label) and everything's finally starting to click into place with the new company's structure. We've been waiting for the layoffs for awhile- they expect to layoff 1/4th of the merged company's employees. So. We're all waiting to get fired.

okay, i'll go.
I wish my boss could read above a third grade level. I wish he remembered things we were talking about 20 seconds before. I wish he didn't repeat the simplest directions, about things i have been doing for 1 1/2 years, ie, I wish he didn't think i was as dumb as he is.
I wish I hadn't had 3 cigarettes last night, as yesterday was my second day without a cigarette until those 3. So today is my first day again.
I wish I wasn't so temporarily bloated, so that my jeans that i'm wearing were a bit looser...
ok, that's good for now...

Go Deanna! I would have done the same thing. My ex dumped me for my best friend, treated her like crap, she broke up with him and that's the end of it, but I think he realized he lost something he maybe shouldn't have lost... And he's a cutie but he's changed. It's a shame.

Anyway, I'll bite. I woke up late and I had an instant breakfast before I ran out the door to the one class I have on Friday -- English. Our professor is crazy... he stumbles over his words a lot and he gets sidetracked in class, so we end up going over pointless stuff and then get off on some other tangent. And we haven't gotten our essays back from a month ago and we already have two more due. And I still haven't gotten around to eating something solid today.

And I'm hoping my mom wants to go out of town tomorrow because I just remembered that DR is on DVD now and I want it. And I want flannel sheets... I *love* flannel sheets!

I really need to go play piano. I keep saying I will and I keep putting it off. Just like I keep putting off working out. Did I mention I'm writing my next essay on how to procrastinate effectively?

Alright, that'll do.

well - keep trying with the quitting smoking thing - it's hard (I hear) but it's been done...(I think )

Seriously - so many of my friend have tried to quit numerous times...I understand how incredibly hard it is....GOOD LUCK!!

What does your mom going out of town have to do with you getting flannel sheets? Just wondering

I hear ya on the putting off working out...I'm So bad about it - and I thought actually paying a lot of money for a gym membership would help...nope. Sure hasn't!!

And yes - effective procrastination...if you ever get around to writing that I'd like to know what you find out

We found a Bed Bath and Beyond in Lafayette and it's just down the road from Best Buy/Barnes and Noble... so I thought about DR and then I thought about flannel sheets that I saw when I was at BBnB last. Sorry for being so scatterbrained... lol!

A few years ago they built a healthplex on campus where I go to school but I haven't gone there yet even though we get membership as part of our enrollment -- I don't wanna go alone and look like a total lost doofus. And it would be so much more motivating if I actually lived on campus, but I'm a commuter for now. I'd like to get in the habit of bringing a change of clothes with me every day and then just going after class. I am so determined to lose weight before the next tour!!

My guess is this paper will be another last minute project, but hey, if you do something, do it well. Setting a goal is one thing -- how you get there doesn't matter as much as long as you get there.

You won't look like a lost doofus...easiest to use are treadmills and bikes. Just bring music and get your bun in there.

true - I so used to have that hang up - "I hate exercising in front of people" " I don't know what to do" etc...

BUT the cool thing is -if it' s a good fitness facility an employee, I think, HAS to help you at least to show you how to use the equipment...it's not hard..

and yeah - just to hop on a bike or treadmill...anyone can do that!

I got over my hang ups because my want to be healthy overcame that and I realized I was just making excuses...

Don't even care what people think of you at the gym...if you're there to work out then it doesn't matter what you look like - doofus or not

I just might do that. I love my iPod! Lots of music to walk to. I think I might stick to the treadmills and bikes 'cause I have torn cartilage in one of my knees and anything weight-bearing or high impact hurts like all get out. But even a change of scenery on a treadmill would be great!

Count me in, girls.

Deanna, I know how that goes. You know what? SO not worth it. I'd rather have my dignity and remain true to myself than change my ways and become some total cutty hor for a guy who obviously isn't worth it if he doesn't like me "just as you are." Peace out to him, girl. You can do and deserve WAY better.

Ugh. Hayley, that blows. It sounds like we work with the same bitch. I hate my job. When I was hired, I was promised that i'd get a raise rather quickly. It'll be a year in February and nothing. I make the same salary as an 18 year old girl whose first job is this. Along with a few of my coworkers, I do my bosses job. After 90 days of working for the company I work for, you are supposed to get a review and with that review based on your performance, a raise. I've asked repeatedly for my review and then I finally take my boss outside while she's smoking a cigarette and tell her I can't keep this up for much longer. She tells me out of everyone there, she can't afford to loose me, clients like me and that she's not going to let it happen. Okay, it's been a month since that conversation. Have I gotten more money? Oh, that'd be a big nope. I'm about to lay the smack down in a big way this week. Either you pay me more or i'm out.

In other news, i'm applying to schools again for next year. With any luck my GardenStateGirlie handle will be coming from a girl that no longer resides in the Garden State by next year
