I swear, some days my office just makes me want to stand up and scream, "What the fuck is wrong with all you people?" I'm working on a newspaper ad that has to be sent in today. The guy I'm doing it for changes things every time I turn around. And he's leaving in 15 minutes and still hasn't given me the approval so that I can send it in.
Related to this ad is a new website. It took me 2 weeks to get one page of basic info out of him. And - two weeks ago - I sent him an email telling him how to get a new email address for the department so that we could put it on the site. As of 15 minutes ago, he had not even read the email, much less requested the new address. And when I tried to convince him that we couldn't just make up whatever we liked and put it on the website, he didn't seem to understand.
My computer is dying and my boss will probably ignore my request for a new one until this one dies, taking all of my design files with it. The loud whining it's making has given me a headache.
The admin assistant & secretary went for a walk without warning me that the Pest Control guy was coming. So when he arrived, I had no idea why he was here or what needed treating.
The last two days were bad hair days. Regardless of what Jenell said, it wasn't a pretty sight.
I still have not done my taxes and don't know when I'll get the chance.
Love seems to be in the air for everyone but me.
My mom has offered again to pay for me to go to some vegetarian conference out east. This would be nice (and I appreciate the generosity), except that I have basically no vacation time and would like to spend what little I do have hanging out with people I love. Visiting my brother's new baby-to-be or a college friend would be great. But the offer doesn't seem to extend to what I care about. I imagine she figures I'll meet a nice veg boy there, but somehow I doubt it. Anyway, I'm more concerned that he's a Christian than I am about what he eats.
This time of the month makes me ravenously hungry, which does nothing for my body-image. Also, I'm very tired. Daylight savings time sucks. I hate getting up in the dark again.
Workout report:
Saturday I spent 4.5 hours hauling boxes & furniture for Kerry & Erik. Then I twisted my knee. And the tendonitis (?) in my left arm has been acting up. So walking is all I've done since then.
