Twas the day before labor day weekend and all through the office, not a creature was stirring, except for the two assistants who have no leave. The office is like dead silent today. Just found out on coming in and getting an email that o yea boss 2 will not be in today. This basically means I have nothing to do today except speak with clients about their emergencies on the phone and how I can't do anything about it. Boss 1 is working from home too which means I won't even really have anyone to talk to. Sweet.
Good news is he said I can leave a little bit earlier if I take a shorter lunch which means I might miss some of the afternoon rush. Bad news is I am heading down to Tech on the long weekend that holds the first game of the season. This means car accidents galorre (Hokie fans get excited) and lots of traffic. I will be in the car with Jarrod's best friend's fiance, my sister and a dog named atticus. That is seriously a book of some sorts. "Atticus's crazy car ride".
I am very excited about the trip but to be honest a little anxious because there is so much I need to do that I cant. (Or rather want to do) There is a beanbag that becomes a bed (I know isn't that wild) on craig's list but it is too out of the way for me to go get it. Also I just found out I need my computer to send my old lacrosse team some excel files I did for tryouts last year. I can probably get Laura to get that but I don't know(depends on her mood) and I can pretty much count on her saying no about the beanbag (even though she would be able to sleep on the awesome thing this weekend!).
I like flew out of bed this morning I am so anxious to be in Blacksburg. That is what a long distance relationship does to you. Makes you want to go long distances even though the drive is boring and your apartment is a mess. Sigh, cant wait to see my honey bear!

Good People
I do not feel well. My guess is that it was the frozen dinner, the kinds of like I will never eat again because I feel TERRIBLE!
Today is better then yesterday still though. First I couldn't get my license plates off, then I get one off and the new one on but I can't budge the other one. By the time Laura was feeling nice enough to see me and I got a better screwdriver and fixed it it was 745. So i got to the gym pretty late. Then when I came home there was a spot but it was too small for my car OF COURSE. I am so sick of that stupid parking lot. So I angrily drive off to find I have to turn around (longest ordeal).
I finally park my car and walk to my door. Of course I am attacked by a bull dog and two small pitbulls. Not to worry attacked with love not bites, still they almost knocked me over and I was incredibly embarassed. So when I get to my door my apt keys are gone. Awesome. instead of walking back to the car I walk over to laura's house to get the extras (she is really pleased with me by now) I walk back let myself in, get a shower because i am disgusting, then venture outside. The dogs are still playing so I decide to cross the street instead of dealing with them and I get to my car. No keys, just melted chocolate which is now all over my hands. Awesome again. I hurry back to my apt and panick. Because i am lazy my keys still say the building number and apt number of where they go. which therefore would allow whoever picked them up to know exactly where they go.
How am I going to sleep! I search the apartment, I search outside where my car was before. I call the gym number on the key card they gave me, of course its the wrong gym and no they don't have the number to where I am trying to call. Just when I think all hope is lost and some crazy murderer/rapist/robber/crazy homeless guy is going to watch me while I sleep, there is a knock at the door. Be still my heart. So excited I run over and there is the cutest chubby girl with my keys. I must have thanked God 10 times, she found them on the sidewalk (I am a moron yes I know). There are good people out there thank goodness. I was able to sleep easy after a chat with Jarrod.

Eggo's and the DMV
This morning for breakfast I had mini eggos with the butter and syrup already in them. I wondered how did it take so long for these little miracles to come around. It was delicious and I will definitely eat them again. Although it definitely doesn't beat eggos with real syrup and real butter, I can't eat that in the car without A. Getting it all over myself B. holding up traffic or C. Crashing into a median, bus full of children, angry old lady.
Yesterday I had to go to the DMV to get my title switched over to me and I hate that place. I guess I really can't complain since the one at home noone speaks english and you wait for 5 hours while some guy named Pablo tries to remember how to say in English that he likes my hair or something weird. Still I always feel as if there is some bizarre conspiracy against me in that place. Why is it that some windows only help B's and A's and I always manage to get D. This time I was the next D up and the girl helping only D's went on break. Go figure. Also can someone explain to me how it works that everyone in front of me has been helped and yet I have to wait another half hour for them to help 15 people after me. Then of course I didn't fully fill out my form correctly because those things are impossible. But in the end I have new license plates and a license that says definitely 21. So not too bad only took an hour and a half.

Sometimes I am a complete mess
Over the weekend I was a bit of a complete mess. Friday night Laura and I drove down to Blacksburg to see Jarrod. We had a lovely dinner of spaghetti and sausage then curled into bed kinda early because we had a long day of canoeing the next day.
My lovely boyfriend bought me red crocklike shoes from Walmart to match my red bathing suit. I looked like an overgrown 5 year old it was awesome. We all hopped in canoes, Josh with Ryan (jarrod's friends), Doug with Laura, Jarrod with me (of course), and then Doug's friends in the canoe and kyack they came with. Jarrod really ended up with the worst rowing partner because 1. I am completely unaware of my surroundings, 2. I get easily distracted by things like butterflies pretty birds and well Jarrod, 3. I am a terrible rower who is out of shape, and 4. I am a complete spaz. We had a good time for a while, jumping out to swim at calm portions of the river, drinking beers, and guiding our canoes through rapids. We played with flippers and hand paddles. Jarrod used a kayak paddle so we were the fastest when we actually tried to row.
It all kinda started to go downhill when a daddy long legs that had been hiding in the nose of our canoe decided to come out and play. i am a complete bugaphobe completely ridiculous. So of course instead of paying attention to the rapids I am standing in the canoe, yelling and trying to kill a harmless daddy long legs with my paddle. I am a moron. Luckily Jarrod did a stellar job steering the boat with a raging idiot flailing all around in the front but he was definitely not happy with me.
By around 2 or 3 we met up with more of Jarrod's friends. I tried to reapply the sunscreen but i was so wet that I more ended up with a white bathing suit. Jarrod continued to drink scotch, beer for me. Even though I had been awake since 730am and all I had to eat that day was a power bar. Brilliant! We come to a rapids part of the James and Jarrod desides to follow through on his promise to throw me out of the canoe. I hit my knee, I am now belligerently drunk. The boat is full of water, the coolers are floating away, we are loosing oars and trash and Jarrod is trying to get me to drag the heavy water filled vessel to the side of the river. I am angry and weak so obviously Im completely worthless at this. We finally get it to the side and dump it out. The other people with us caught everything that floated away and we dump out the boat. Then Jarrod proceeds to tease me and say he is boating with out me. I am so mad that he is leaving me after that so I throw a rock, then another. Not really aiming at him I just throw them. Then the third rock I barely miss his head and all I can do is stare horrified as he goes from teasing to pissed and takes the kayak by himself. Luckily Doug helps me with my canoe. Jarrod eventually gets into the canoe with Laura and they go off with Plourde and Carroll while i hang out with Doug and Jarrod''s friends from home. But i want to be with Jarrod, so I am sad for the rest of the trip. We finally pull off and now I am not just sad but sick. Horribly morning after hungover sick. I want to puke but I can't and everyone thinks i am overreacting.
Jarrod helped his friends pack up the boats and get on their way. I sit in the car for a bit but eventually I go behind the bridge to puke. I feel terrible but I just cant do it so I lay down. That's where Jarrod found me and made me get up saying it smelt like piss there and I shouldn't stay there. So I followed him, by now its storming. They tied the rest of the canoes on Doug's car and then lightning hits the bridge above us. Its a huge flash and sparks come of the bridge. I thought some kid had thrown a fire cracker off the bridge. It scared the crap out of me. We all hopped in the car, Jarrod put me up front because i was miserable. Thank goodness we stopped at Jarrod's house to get the AC units. I ran to the bathroom puked 3 times (lovely) and then ate some pizza thinking food would help. Then i spent the whole windy rainy backroad way back tasting puke and pizza, yum. At one point we had to pull over because I almost puked in the car. We finally got back to the house and I was grumpy hungry and sleepy. Basically, cranky. We ordered Chinese and it tasted amazing. Then I curled up in bed with Jarrod and apologized for my behavior.
The next day I had Chinese for breakfast. On the way to Jarrod's parents house I started to get a skin rash. Now it is all over my body. Awesome. No clue if it is from Chinese or Sun. All I know is that I am itchy and weird looking. Sweet. I did manage to pay for my little loveseat, and get it to Jarrods. One day it will be in my apt. Cannot wait!

Almost the weekend
I have finally styled my desk in a way completely different from the old assistants. It is much more me. However like me moving around paper trays and pen holders around can be that is. Stuff I need is actually in reach instead of having to go through piles (which is completely ridiculous if you ask me) Also I brought in a squishy watermelon(so I can squish it), a picture of Jarrod(just incase I don't think of him enough) and eeyore(because hes soft and looks pathetic and it makes me smile).
It is 430 on a Friday and I am pretty much out of things to do. So all I have do is wait for Laura to call. I would call her but I don't want to jinx it. For once she actually sounds like she wont let me down and she will come on a trip with me. Although really I know in like 20 minutes she will call and go Im just not feeling like it right now. Hopefully she remembers her promise to bring me the AC unit for Jarrod but I kind of doubt that too. Sigh, i really need to get friends. Laura is much to antisocial to rely on for these kinds of things.
This weekend we are actually going canoeing, like it is actually planned. I am really really excited. I know I will definitely end up exhausted and wet but that sounds like a blast. Holly left back at 4. I can't wait until I have that kinda leeway on hours. I am done right now but someone needs to answer the phone for clients with silly emergencies.(or serious ones) Who knows. Just a few more years of this and I should be set to go whereever and do this. Or stay. The future is so uncertain. All I know is I cannot wait until this year is over and Jarrod is here with me.
It is hot like bath water outside. Disgusting. Definitely nice to have AC here and in the car. I have drinks cooling in the fridge for the drive and chips heating up in the car so I should be able to last until dinner which might not be until 9 if lovely Laura desides to grace me with her presence. Oh Damn I guess I have to just call.

deep thoughts
Why am i so awkward. Today Boss 2 had me bring in some paperwork during her meeting and she introduced me to her clients. I quielty said nice to meet you before learning names and then proceeded to bow like an appreciative gheshi. I am so weird.
On a lighter note cant wait to see the bf this weekend. I really need to go to the gym tonight and tomorrow so that I look better/have more energy even with my cold that makes me sound like an 80 year old with a hacking cough. I wonder house people would feel if they knew i was the one seeling their envelopes that were sent out today (all 25 giant ones) coughing inbetween licks drinking water because my tongue is dry. Yes I am very important at my job and i do important things like seeling envelopes and highlighting. Im so busy I hardly blog anymore so that is testament to my importance haha.

excitement to follow
So I am getting sick. awesome. It's between taking sick leave and enjoying my Christmas/NewYears so obviously I'm going to suck it up and go to work. What am I getting sick from though?I have very little contact with other human beings. Even in my office I usually am alone sinceI don't share my office with anyone. Of course as usual the bf isn't sick but I am and he washere just last weekend. I am going to blame it on Debbie, she was sick last week. All thattalking putting germs in the air.
I thought the best idea would be to get soup for lunch. So I ran over to Ukrops and sawyay! they have chicken noodle. It looks good lots of stuff in it so I get a big cup. I bring it back to work and find yuck! its like eating an onion. Nothing is soft, the carrotscelery and onions are all hard. I could barely choke it down. So I ended up with a lunchof cheesenips and pudding parfait. So much for feel better food.
I need to get better though because tonight I go bowling!!! Yay! My cousin called to inviteme to go with his paralegal friend. He said i could bring someone but alas my sister (my only Richmond friend haha) is back at home. Very exciting I can wear jeans and t-shirt and drink beer(who cares if I am sick) and talk to someone new (always fun). Then tomorrow my parentsare coming and bringing a dresser (which will seriously solve the storage dilema of my tinyalmost closetless apt) and taking me to dinner. I invited my cousin to join us because why notreally my parents always love having more fam to dinner (well at least my cousins and siblings)
Then friday I think I will go home. I need to buckle down and just study all weekend. Andespecially not spend anything. So obviously the best place to go is home. there will belean cusienes to eat and noone to hang out with really and i can do laundry. So excited formy quiet studying weekend. Yay!

What is all this jibberjabber
Some days Debbie just will not shut up. Today she has gone and bothered my boss like three times and all I can think is how does she stand it? I hear her complaining about the ugly wall paper in the bathroom, complaining about all the spam mail on her work account (maybe she should have used a different email to order with), complaining about the copier, telling the ups guy (who is subbing for the normal one) that ofcourse packages go in the mail room they always go in there (like through some cosmic telepathy he could pick that up)
Boss 2 came in my office and was like "O My God she can talk. I don't understand i guess she's just not as busy but she always manages to come talk to me when I am trying to get work done.Debbie is driving me crazy haha."
Then after boss 2 goes into her office I hear "You know I try to get out of the office by 8 butI always seem to have to much work left that I did not get to so I should be here. Although I don't like to start anything new after 6" The reason Debbie has stuff left is she is talking her mouth off! Good to know my boss feels the same way at least she doesn't have to hear thenonsense I hear while Debbie is in the office (we are next door to each other).

My Sunday
I really wish that I had decided to wear pants today because I am FREEZING! My body is burnt to a crisp so anything with sleeves sounded painful this morning but I definitely could have done pants instead of my wide leg capri like things that I am wearing.
Yesterday I went with my boyfriend, my sister, and my sister's friend to go to the watermelon festival. Which I wish I could say was awesome but really it was pretty boring. Mostly it consisted of womens clothing (90% hippie women's clothing) and promotional crap from companies. Of course my sister got most of the cool stuff like a geico gecko pressure gage and I got a mini beach ball . . . .awesome. I highly doubt I will win the 100 gift card I put my info in for a raffle for because I didn't give the company my phone number. They wanted me to sign some statement giving them the right to call me and have their sponsors call me even if I am on a do not call list. That is bs, they can email me all they want or sent mail to my door I love junk mail! but I do not want them calling up my phone and trying to sell me something. I hate telemarketers because they wont let me speak and tell them no. I even did cold calls so I respect that they are just doing their job but I don't want it.
The sister applied for 2 jobs! Very exciting! I am so glad I came over to her house and performed a sit-in until she decided to join us. I knew she wanted to come because she said so when she wasn't in half asleep crankface mode. She ended up enjoying the whole thing way more then I did (I was a little annoyed because I expected free watermelon but it was a dollar) And the bead store she applied at was full of girls dressed just like her so hopefully she gets the job. The truth of the matter is that its hard when shes my main person to hang out with but shes such a broke fruggal fanny. Which makes me end up paying for a lot which really I don't mind but i can't afford and I forget it.
When we come to wake up my sister it is the funniest thing ever. You ring the doorbell and at the top of the stairs this head pokes out sideways, eyes squinting to see who is so evil as to call at that hour (like noon or 1) She looks like one of the lost children from the movie Hook with her hair all crazy around her face. I know I am a terrible sister but I find it hilarious. It almost makes me want to come wake her up everyday (which I wouldn't because my sister when cranky is well frankly scary).
My sister has mice in her house. They ate her bread so she got sticky mouse traps. When we came over on Sunday I watched her throw one with a live mouse on it into the trash. Its ridiculous how cute the disease invested pests are, makes you want to keep them as pets and squeeze them and call them george. BF who hates to see creatures suffer (it would have straved to death stuck to a trap in the trash) took a piece of paper wrapped it arround the mouse and crushed its skull. The squeeks were horrible and my sister and her friend looked like they were caught between beating him for being so cruel and crying. I was just grossed out it was going to die anyway but i just wish there was a less gruesome way like little mouse lethal injections.
So anyway, after the festival we walked back to the car and Laura dropped us off. I got it in my head while I showered that I really wanted to go get thai food (I hadn't eaten anything but a small burrito 33 cent so awesome at breakfast and a bowl of watermelon). I got the bf all excited along with myself about eating this, drove all the way out to the Thai Diner only to find the place is closed on Sunday. Such disappointment. So instead we went to Chipolte and ate burritos because I had wasted so many calories walking I might not gain weight that day. Really good though, burritos I don't care if they have 10,000 calories. The night ended well with Finding Nemo and Harry Potter 2 and 3. But I barely slept because it was hot and my sun burn made me feel sick. It really is the sadest way to start your day with your bf driving off to his home far away. Wish he lived closer so bad.

I hate telemarketers because they wont let me speak and tell them no. I even did cold calls so I respect that they are just doing their job but I don't want it.
The sister applied for 2 jobs! Very exciting! I am so glad I came over to her house and performed a sit-in until she decided to join us. I knew she wanted to come because she said so when she wasn't in half asleep crankface mode. She ended up enjoying the whole thing way more then I did (I was a little annoyed because I expected free watermelon but it was a dollar) And the bead store she applied at was full of girls dressed just like her so hopefully she gets the job. The truth of the matter is that its hard when shes my main person to hang out with but shes such a broke fruggal fanny. Which makes me end up paying for a lot which really I don't mind but i can't afford and I forget it.
When we come to wake up my sister it is the funniest thing ever. You ring the doorbell and at the top of the stairs this head pokes out sideways, eyes squinting to see who is so evil as to call at that hour (like noon or 1) She looks like one of the lost children from the movie Hook with her hair all crazy around her face. I know I am a terrible sister but I find it hilarious. It almost makes me want to come wake her up everyday (which I wouldn't because my sister when cranky is well frankly scary).
My sister has mice in her house. They ate her bread so she got sticky mouse traps. When we came over on Sunday I watched her throw one with a live mouse on it into the trash. Its ridiculous how cute the disease invested pests are, makes you want to keep them as pets and squeeze them and call them george. BF who hates to see creatures suffer (it would have straved to death stuck to a trap in the trash) took a piece of paper wrapped it arround the mouse and crushed its skull. The squeeks were horrible and my sister and her friend looked like they were caught between beating him for being so cruel and crying. I was just grossed out it was going to die anyway but i just wish there was a less gruesome way like little mouse lethal injections.
So anyway, after the festival we walked back to the car and Laura dropped us off. I got it in my head while I showered that I really wanted to go get thai food (I hadn't eaten anything but a small burrito 33 cent so awesome at breakfast and a bowl of watermelon). I got the bf all excited along with myself about eating this, drove all the way out to the Thai Diner only to find the place is closed on Sunday. Such disappointment. So instead we went to Chipolte and ate burritos because I had wasted so many calories walking I might not gain weight that day. Really good though, burritos I don't care if they have 10,000 calories. The night ended well with Finding Nemo and Harry Potter 2 and 3. But I barely slept because it was hot and my sun burn made me feel sick. It really is the sadest way to start your day with your bf driving off to his home far away. Wish he lived closer so bad.

Sometimes noone cares . . .really
Shouting "Hey Are you there! Sorry I just had to wait so long I thought I would make some phone calls to makeup for the lost time. Sorry if I am so loud but our anitquated phone system might disconnect us so I thoughtI would put us on speaker phone. Hold on let me shut the door"
Thank goodness, Debbie Downer is in a seriously foul mood today. I tried to say hello and she just stared me down. Yea our phone system may not be top of the line but it doesn't disconnect randomly you do that yourself.And the poor guy on the phone basically gets a lecture for helping other people who called first. I don't understand how someone could be annoyed at everything. Its always something, the copier isn't working, the fridge isn't putting out water, the stapler isn't stapling correctly, the fax is out of toner. In general thepattern I am seeing is I have a problem and someone else needs to fix it now. Why is she so entitled to everything, I don't remember saying I would work for her and as far as I can see everyone else is an advisorlike her, working for themselves, or an assistant of sorts who does not work for her. The only time I ever saw her happy was when she got three dollar pants, which she showed me everyday. I was so jealous I couldn'tfind a single pair that cheap in my size (big macy's sale).

Seeing Dots
This morning after a waking up from a crazy dream(all this time dinosaurs have been living on earth but deep deep underwater and high up in the sky. Now they have come back to kill us and we have to fight to stay alive like we did some thousand years ago. Pretty ridiculous I lived in a castle on the sea and was on a ship acting in a movie while we were attacked). I was pretty out of it so I grabbed pants and somehow managed to leave looking somewhat together. When I came to work and used the restroom I realized I am wearing black polka dot underwear under my white pants. And everyone can see them awesome.
Not much I can do about it but proudly strut my polka dot butt throughout the office (luckily I spend most of the day sitting in a chair hiding in my office). Very unfortunate pants choice however. Yikes!

weird day
Back to work after a wonderful 3 1/2 day weekend and already things are weird. Started with Debbie Downer (advisor next door who complains about everything) calling the building manager.
"Hi, this is (insert name here) calling from suite 100 in (building address). When the gardeners were doing the landscaping, which looks nice by the way, they decapitated a dove. I just would like it removed and I don't want to do it, Im sure it wouldn't be too hard just some gloves and such. It just really is disturbing and not good for clients so if you could please have that removed I would much appreciate it. Thank you"
When one of the other advisors teased her about it she just said "its a bad omen" All I can think is thank good I didn't notice it in my exhausted zoned out state. Yuck! Nothing move upsetting then a decapitated symbol for love and peace.
Then later I noticed boss 2 still hadn't come in and it was almost 11. She usually doesn't get in until the earliest 930 but 11 is a little bit late for her. Finally boss 1 called (he works from home on tuesdays) He talked to me about my weekend and all that stuff then asked if boss 2 was in. When I said no he told me that it is probably because one of her friends is missing. He has some medical considtion and was staying with some family but now all of a sudden has jsut disappeared. So weird! and scary I can't imagine how shes feeling. Also am a little bit panicked because it always seems when I am here all alone something important will happen that I can't deal with properly. O well, problems will have to wait.

Hot
Today I came into the office and the air conditioner is broken. Great day to wear black trousers and a button up blouse. I had a terrible headache so of course I first thought I was sick (I actually really felt like I was going to pass out). What a relief to hear other peoeple complaining in the hallway so that I can know there is nothing wrong with me, I don't have some condition that causes me to get hotflashes and pass out and have seizures. So much for having cute hair and all before seeing the bf. My hair will be a complete mess from quick put up and Ill be sweaty with runny mascara. HOT.
Even so I am definitely excited to see bf. We will spend the weekend moving him into his new house, going to the river, hiking at the cascades, eating good food, snuggling, and buying me furniture. Doesn't get much better then that if you ask me. Hell I would be happy if we spent the next three days curled up in bed watching movies. I hope the couches his mom has are good, I really am in desperate need of good furniture. The lawn chairs are terribly uncomfortable.
I cannot wait until next year when bf comes to live with me. We will rent a cute little house (wish I could buy but I am trying to be realistic here) and maybe I could have a dog and he could build a place to do his woodworking. So exciting if you ask me. Especially since right now my only roomates have millions of legs and hide in dark wet places (yuck!).
Yay! boss2 just came in and said if heat doesn't get fixed I can leave early. Yay heat that is making me feel sick. I now turned off the lights and found a fan. Much nicer in here, and even though slightly uncomfortable I will get to see bf earlier wonderful!
