Cry Baby

I think my stress level has hit an all time high. Every time I turn around, someone at work has a great new idea of something I can do.  It's just getting to be wayyyyy too much. So today, in between 2 of my 4 meetings, I run to the kitchen to grab my sandwich. But it's gone. Someone stole my sandwich! The worst part is that there were three platter of sandwiches, but because I have a thousand food allergies, I have to bring my own and I can't eat any of the others in there. So I got really angry and cried. Seriously, I cried. I didn't have time to run out and grab something else and so I was left to eat popcorn. If I find out who stole my lunch, I'm going to rip their arms off.

A few issues that need to be addressed

There is still just so much going on in my life that I can't keep up, and unfortunately, posting seems to be the first to go. Don't think my list of grievances is short though. In list form-here is what is driving me crazy.

1. Pinterest melted spoon flowers. Who has the time to melt plastic spoons into flowers and paint them??? Get a job.
2. Short timer employees. I have a soon to be former coworker who resigned, gave a five week notice and asked for 4 vacation days. He has yet to work a full 8 hour day since resigning. I feel like he is a waste of space.
3. Parking at Trader Joes. I know I have already gone off about this, but seriously - Sunday I watched some woman take SEVEN attempts to get in a parking space. Maybe if you weren't trying to park your Tahoe in a compact space it would fit better.
4. Meetings. Ok, so yes meetings by themselves sometimes drive me crazy....but what sends me spiraling out of control is when I'm the only person ready for the meeting when it is supposed to start. I have other things to do - so if everyone shows up on time...no one is wasting time.
5. Passive Aggressive Nonsense. We're all adults, if you are mad at me don't make me drag it out of you as to why. If I haven't already addressed that I know, then I have no idea and you saying you're fine is fooling absolutely no one. You may treat your spouse that way, but I will just ignore you. (previously I would have thrown something at you, but I just learned that I could be put in jail for battery even if it's just something light that I throw at you...and quite frankly, your temper tantrum is not worth me being locked up).

This should be a good week

But it's not. Everyone is driving me crazy. If I can just make it to 5:00 pm Friday, then I will have 9 days off...9 wonderful days off. It will be amazing. I have only scheduled 7 million things that need to be done in those 9 days, but none of them require being anywhere near my office. Which is good, because I can't go there. woohoo!

Title Credits

Sometimes I will listen to music in my office. Truth be told, you can totally tell what kind of day I'm having based on the music.
Pop Music - I'm goofing off
Dave Matthews/U2/Adele - I'm relatively busy
Classical Music - I'm extremely busy and/or about to kill someone.

And then I realized that some of it sounds like it is the soundtrack in a movie right before someone dies. Fantastic.

Life Update

Sorry I've been slack again....but I'm working on something big. Something that might actually be useful. I've also been in Sassy's wedding where I had the amazing opportunity to embarrass her, but I tried really hard not to; I've stopped going to work at 6 am - major life changer!; and I've started selling everything I own on eBay. It's totally addictive. Fabio better hide his stuff, because as soon as I run out of my stuff, I'm selling all the stuff of his that I don't really like...except the ficus tree. That would be hard to mail. I'm just waiting for an "accident" when we move for that one.

Questionable Olympic Sports

As I'm sure you know, Snarky and I are extremely athletic. So this afternoon we were recapping some of the Olympic sports that have surprised us this week. At first this morning, Snarky thought that the trampoline event was only to see how high they could jump. She did not think that should be an Olympic Sport. Well, it's not - they expect a lot more. I personally can't believe that there is such a scandal in the badminton world. Who even knew there was a "world" of badminton?

Speaking of questionable sports - what ever happened to ribbon dancing? That was my Get In Shape Girl favorite!

Why I will never participate in Olympic Track and Field

We were just watching the opening night of the Olympic track competition and I told Fabio that I will never run competitively since they always show the replay in slow motion. He seemed shocked that this is what has been holding me back from being a professional runner. I feel as though it is as good of a reason as anything else.
