Benchwarmers
Yes, I’ve seen this movie twice now. Once in the theatres with my mother and once more while working late into the night.
My hatred for Napoleon Dynamite has intensified upon second viewing. That guy is such a fucking chump.
And how is Rob Schneider still getting work? And David Spade? And why is Craig Kilborn always such an asshole in every movie he’s in?
It’s 2am and I need...
darn
I got a $75 parking ticket today.
Just another reason why I hate work.
Maps
Watching “The Bernie Mac Show” depresses me knowing he’s dead. The show wasn’t very good, but I always counted on it during my insomnia and now, when I’m working late into the night.
“I ain’t never been scared of a white man…since I saw Roots.” Oh, Bernie Mac.
I bought two maps from Borders tonight. I’m going to post them up on my walls...
Another long day comes to an end
Last night I worked until 2am, went to “sleep”, and resumed working at 8am. I guess 6 hours isn’t too terrible, but I feel really exhausted. This is going to catch up with me sooner or later. Well, I guess it was nice knowing all of you!
I just finished work and it’s almost 3am. The worst part is that I think I totally fucked up the server because I got out at the last...
HSM
Uh, I don’t like it at all.
Really.
I tried to get into it, but it makes me want to barf.
Like seriously.
Just watching 5 minutes of HSM2 made me gag like 10 times. You know how I like to say, “It’s so bad, it’s good!” This…this is so bad that it’s BAD. It made me feel so awkward and uncomfortable. And that bit after the “Work it out” song...
The Kanye West Blog →
Sometimes when I’ve worked too much and can’t fall asleep, I read Kanye’s blog. Over time, I have discovered that Kanye and I share similar interests in clothes, furniture, design, music, and other random neat stuff. Well, everything except those girls he calls “models.” Some of them are kind of gross. I think it’s funny that he adds the “Where are you...
Warcraft
I tried to get into it, but I don’t think it’s meant to be. The trial version for Macs is fucked up, and the streaming version has been disabled because they’re making updates or some shit like that.
Maybe this is a good thing. I hear from reliable sources the game is very addictive. I figure it’s something to do that’s NOT work and NOT hanging out with people.
And...
KoL
I’m trying to psyche myself up for the Kings of Leon show by putting their second album on repeat and playing “Sex on Fire” as much as possible. I have a feeling it might be too late. They’ve been getting a lot of buzz for their third album, but I haven’t been feeling it at all. I tried, for real—it’s just not happening.
At this point, I don’t want...
Do you like my ponytail?
I had a good day at work today.
Forget that it’s 130am and I just finished, but it was a really fabulous day. The parking situation at work is shitty so finding a space just as I get there usually makes my day.
There was one moment when I wanted to murder someone in Australia for being a fucking shithead, but the feeling passed after an hour.
And my hair—it normally looks effortless...
“Peace, sorry for being a bitch.”
– The guy who brought on the waterworks. This totally made my day.
The light
Yesterday was crazy. I was not at my best and so I promised myself that I would NEVER let work (either here or anywhere else) reduce me to tears.
I am having epiphanies left and right.
Not going to lie—but I feel pretty darn good about myself today. I think I just fell so low that there was no where to go but up!
There is this one girl at work who I never really talked to before up...
Serenity now
So I spent the last few hours on this crazy emotional roller coaster. I would spend 15 minutes crying, and then stop for a 10 minute break as if I were going to be okay, and then start all over again. Aside from the occasional tearing during a sentimental moment, I have not cried like this in a LONG ASS time. Last night was momentous.
Yes, I am really stressed out.
Also, this guy from IT was...
Fuck
I guess there’s a first time for everything.
Like today was the first time I’ve cried about work.
I'm going to die 20 years early
I really hate the IT crew assigned to our department. Nothing ever works like it’s supposed to and it’s super frustrating especially for those of us that have to work in the middle of the night and all weekend. And when I say “us,” I really mean just me.
I know down the line I will be rewarded for my dedication but it just feels so damn useless right now. Like nobody cares...
It's raining!
Finally.
I’ve been working all morning—but I also volunteered to help open the Santa Anita store. I’m already half an hour overdue.
I really don’t feel like going. The mall is going to be crowded so parking is going to be impossible AND it’s raining. Another thing that I dread is doing manual labor with all those god damn hipsters.
However, I don’t believe...
Sick?
I think I’m going to be calling in sick tomorrow.
As of 1am, I am done with all of my work allotted for tonight—however, I think I’m coming down with what feels like DEATH. My throat started tingling earlier today, and I thought it was just because I was dehydrated. NOT TRUE. Exactly 5 hours later, my throat is SORE, my nose is congested, and I have a headache right now.
I took...
Productivity!
It’s 1:12am, and am I tired?
No, not at all.
In fact, I feel extremely productive! Today I worked 6.5 hours during the day, and another 2.5 hours or so at night, so it’s actually not too bad.
Tomorrow I plan on working a full 8 hours during the day because I’m carpooling with Morgan, and since her situation is an hourly one, I have to stay until she gets all of her hours in. I...
