WORKING 9 to 5

Well, in my case 9 to 8pm. I have to go in early for some sort of "Insurance Refresher" course which is from 9 to 5:30 then I have to do my reg job til 8 pm. Not just that (cue harps and violins) I have to get up at 7 to call my nut doctor for 8. I was supposed to go see him at 8 but the last minute insurnace thing blew that to all hell. So, because I have to give a 24 hr notice OR BE CHARGED I am out of luck. But no, you'll be relieved to know, I called the Dr and the receptionist/office manager person said that just this one time I could do a call in since "I'm being charged anyway." Awwwww. It's just a med check and not a counseling session which, you nosy little people, doesn't happen til January. That my friends is with a counselor who is a mite, and just a mite, cheaper then the good old doc who doles out the meds. And to add insult to injury, it's flipping COLD outside. This is Texas, I mean, what the.........



GUY WHO ALLEDGEDLY KILLED STACEY PETERSEN IS GETTING MARRIED

Okay, how in the hell does a guy with a missing wife, suspision of offing the first one, now get a new chick who is 23 years old? He's like 30 years older not to mention the small problem of possibly being
a killer! Is this girl incredibly stupid? Please lord, let's find the body of Stacey and nail this guys you know what's to the wall. I wonder how he'll kill this one? Ooops I mean allegedly.


LOST

It's my blog and I'll write about LOST ad nauseum if I so desire! Only a little more than ONE MONTH til the new season starts! And before that they are gonna play last years finale! Oh if I were back in NH I would so be at my friend Paula's house to watch. Instead I'll have to call her on the phone and irritate her during the good parts. Thank god for Tivo. It won't be long Desmond, it won't be long.


CHRISTMAS

I hate it. I'm sorry but I hate it. It just makes your crappy life seem that more crappy when you see the stupid commercials of all love and happiness and togetherness on TV. I have to change the channel or choke back a xanax in order not to puke. Yes, I am a scrooge. I find no pleasure in it. Now when I was little I loved it, it was exciting, mysterious....but now, it's just a pain in my bank account. No I take that back. I do like to give gifts to friends and family. I don't like the bills but I do like giving presents. I like getting them more but hey, I'm superficial and a designer snob so I admit it. This Xmas is gonna suck. I have ZERO decorations in my apt. I don't have any and I don't want to buy any. Who's gonna see it but me and possibly my parents who I'm sure could care less if there was tinsel strewn around. Oh maybe the guy who will need to come to fix my dryer (it's making a really loud noise) would enjoy it but tough luck on him. Who am I celebrating with? My parents. Oh how exciting. I am going shopping the next day to buy stuff for which I don't have much money but what the hell. I'll be doing a crap load of OT in January (and work has declared no time off in Jan) to make up for it. But anyway, that is my rant about Xmas. Oh I do remember a time when I was older and liked it. We would go to NJ and to my Aunt Maureen's house with all the relatives and have Italian food and reg Xmas fair. Those were fun times. I just pray I can find some happy times again. Enough Xmas rant.


THE STONE AGE

As you know, my beloved company McKesson has sold it's pharmacy division to Walgreens Specialty (yes that Walgreens at every street corner) Well I come into work today and usually we swipe our cards to keep track of time. But now, oh my friends it is mighty frightening, we actually have to PUNCH A CARD with an archaic machine that prints in ink onto the card from some weird looking machine from the 50's. I feel like I'm in an episode of the flintstones. What's next? No email? No internet? My advice to Walgreen's is to get your technology up to date and pronto if you want to be #2 in the biz. It took me 10 minutes and 2 people to help me to figure out the machine from hell.


AND THE WINNER IS: ME

I won some award at work (a GC to Barnes and Noble) for supposing having a high productivity level. I would have hoped for a better incentive but what the hell, it'll get me a book that I don't have to pay for so I shouldn't complain. Hooray for me. We know how often I win things. Barely ever and when I do they are usually stuff I have already.


BEYONCE

God save me but I like her two new songs "If I were a boy" and "Put a ring on it". I'm ashamed to admit but I am not to proud to admit it to the world. Not that I'm a Beyonce fan or anything, I just like those song. If you haven't seen the video to "If I were a boy" go to youtube and check it out.
