Overheard at work today......
Two customers in the women's restroom talking about their regular bowel movements. One was actually taking a shit during the entire conversation.
A coworker insulting my 'old lady necklace' behind my back. To her face, I commented on her lack of class and suggested she wear her hair in something other than a pony tail.
Christmas music. Really?!? You've got to be fucking kidding me......
My shoes squeaking on the tile. Way past time for new shoes.
My boss paying me a compliment when she didn't know I was behind her. Some things are worth being overheard.
Anyone who knows me knows, my biggest strength is also my biggest weakness. While I take pride in my work, and do my best no matter what, it can sometimes be my downfall. My unwillingness to give in and give up can sometimes make my day absolutely miserable. I work with horrible people who do not treat each other very well, my biggest fear is that I'm beginning to turn into one of them.
Overheard by others, and said by me, "This job sucks."

Three coworkers cried in my presence.
Thankfully, I had nothing to do with the reason they were crying.
A complete stranger groped my ass.
It was NOT a man.
Someone hovered over the toilet in a restroom stall, and completely missed the toilet.
I didn't want to clean it, so I didn't say a word about it to anyone.
Soup spilled down the front of my blouse.
Considered whether or not I could make wearing a bib look trendy.
Found a skittle in my work shoes.
Tried to remember when I could have possibly eaten skittles at me desk...
Received a phone call from someone asking me to vote for Jerry Cannon.
Laughed out loud when the person on the other end of the phone became offended that I didn't know who Jerry Cannon was.
I knew who Jerry Cannon was.
Left 10 minutes early just because I could.
It was definitely a Monday.

It's been a while since I posted last, not much has changed though. Still working for the boss from hell, still suffering from insomnia, still trying to find the silver lining.
I'm beginning to think it doesn't really exist. Like a mirage in the middle of a sun baked desert, the silver lining in my life never really seems to be within reach.
My oldest has gotten his girlfriend pregnant, which means, I will be a grandmother before long. It doesn't feel quite real to me yet, am I really old enough to be a grandmother??
Holy crap!
Well, at least I don't look like a grandmother. Everyone at work was in shock when they found out I was turning 40 on my birthday this year. This news is certain to top that.
At least it's coming at a time when I've finally managed to get my shit together. Life is in order, things are running smoothly, and I've managed to find a little routine to fall back on.

It's kind of scary, to be honest.
I could tell she was in a mood just by the intensity of her foot steps as she tromped toward the office. It's a miracle she didn't stomp holes in the floor as she quickly pounded her way through the door.
It amazes me how someone so tiny can walk so hard.
She proceeded to scream at an assistant manager and reduce one of the supervisors to tears within an hour.
Then came the conference call.
I didn't think it was possible, but her mood actually worsened after the call.
It's no wonder I my anxiety is out of control all the time.

10 Things that Happened During my Day

1. Woke up with a button stuck to my forehead. Still baffled over this one.
2. Cursed myself for being lazy and not doing laundry. Had to wear a pair of the hardly ever worn panties from the bottom of my underwear drawer.
3. Got to work and discovered why I hardly ever wear them.
4. Took the panties off in the bathroom and stuffed them in my coat pocket after about the 9 MILLIONTH time I picked them out of my ass.
5. Daydreamed about a tropical vacation.
6. Received an email that completely pissed me off. Tropical vacation went *poof*.
7. Grumbled under my breath because the cleaning girl bugs the hell out of me when she mopes around my desk.
8. Googled the web for reasons why my period is late. A tad worrisome, considering I had a tubaligation 6 years ago when my was born.
9. Stared at a grey hair in the tiny mirror on the filing cabinet next to my desk.
10. Freaked out about my upcoming 40th birthday.

I found my 6 year old 's journal today.
Wild horses couldn't pull the smile I had off my face. She is so much like me, it's not natural. In this new age of electronics and internet, I haven't actually kept a journal in years, but there was a time I avidly wrote my every last thought in a journal.
Now she's doing the same thing.
I sometimes think about how close I came to getting an abortion when I found out I was pregnant with her. My ex and I were already having marital problems and she was completely unplanned.
Something inside me just wouldn't allow me to do it.
I have never been happier because I listened to that little voice that said "don't do it".

Ever come face to face with an ex-lover and his family?
I have. I'm here to say, there is nothing in the world that can devalue a person the way THAT can.
He had rounded an isle at the exact same time I did, so there we were, face to face. His eyes frantically scanned for the rest of his family, face drained of color.
To be honest, I felt a little angry.
He had already ended a friendship with me, asked me to delete any type of correspondence I had ever had with him, and told me I needed to 'make new friends' a long time ago, all of which I did. Had he not been stupid enough to call my ex-husband from his fucking home telephone, he would not be in the predicament he is in today.
Yet, there I was, trying to shop with my and hide out from 'him' at the same time. I had to leave, I just couldn't do it.
I am BETTER than that.
Since I'm up on the soap box already, I guess I should just throw this out there too.
He reads this blog. It bothers me.
*I'm not allowed to have any part of you in my life yet you can pop in and out of mine whenever you want? It's not ok.*
Ok, phew! It's taken me a long time to get that off my chest.

Was not.
My middle was a complete asshole. He does this any time I decide to get out of the house and try to do something fun with them. His entire personality changes.... Out comes the sullen, moody loner who won't say 3 words to save his life.
I'm not taking him anywhere anymore, that was decided the moment his sister came bawling back to our table in the food court at the mall without an Orange Julius. I sent the 2 of them with $10 to get drinks for themselves. He returned about 3 minutes later empty handed.
WTF?!?
Pissed, I demanded my money back and walked over to get 1 Orange Julius to give to my .
I have no idea what was going through his head. My whole day was ruined by him.
Bad attitude, grumbling, angry sullen stares....
Even the guy running the carousal noticed. (He totally creeped me out, btw.) I was standing there watching as my had a mini meltdown when she couldn't get her seat belt fastened. He fastened it for her, then walked over by me and asked me a question.
"Do you know why your is so sensitive?"
"I haven't really thought about it before," I responded. I was taken back by his question.
"It's because you're sensitive."
"How do you know I'm sensitive?"
"I can tell by the way your standing there, all tense."
He then went into a story about his dogs and how they each had unique personalities. In a comparison to his dogs, the carousal guy said my was unhappy "because of him", and pointed to my . His smile was alarming.
I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
If he had to put up with the same kind of shit I put up with on a daily basis, he would be tense as well. Not to mention, it had only been moments before that I had been pissed to the core at my for his bad attitude and told him in no uncertain terms he'd better straighten up.
Lesson learned, I suppose.
Avoid the carousal at the mall, and forget about ever going to the mall with my again.

I should feel such overwhelming sadness today.
Yet, I do.
I had to call in to work today. My was up sick all night, I got hassled by the manager on duty when I called. I should have mentioned how wonderful it was to get puked on in the middle of the night and how much fun I had stripping my bed down to the bare mattress and sleeping on it because everything else I had was saturated in puke.
The establishment I work for is run by hypocrites.
For them, it's ok to take money from a register to pay for their food delivery or take hundreds of dollars from the safe with the 'promise' to pay it back, only they never do. Eight months later we're still hiding the missing safe money.....
I feel sullied by the company, I am so much BETTER than this.

Awkward Silence

I have a hard time with it, to be truthful.
A while back I had decided to not blog here anymore. I really wasn't looking to 'hook up' with anyone, but isn't that kind of the pointof being on a site like this?
Yet, here I am.... Again.
Still not looking to hook up with anyone, but there are so many things I keep bottled up because I don't really feel like I can talk about this stuff with anyone.
I can talk about it here, though, in the comfortable anonymity the internet offers, without fear of that crippling awkward silence I usually experience when I reveal these truths in real life.
This leaves me perplexed, though.
My question to all of you who may happen across my blog and read this post is, is it false advertisement to frequent this site without the intention to hook up with someone?

You can't remove the twist off cap from your cheap ass wine.
I knew the day was off to a rough start when my devastated came crying from her room this morning with the tooth that was to be confiscated by the tooth fairy last night.
Oh My God!!
Yep, that's right. Mom, aka tooth fairy, completely forgot.
I somehow managed to talk her into leaving a note for the tooth fairy and had her put it back under her pillow with the still untouched tooth.
It was pretty humorous, actually.
The note read:
Deer toofry
you frgot my munny
[]
I couldn't help but laugh when I read it. Thankfully, this time I didn't forget, and managed to make the switch before she got home from school today. She is now happy, and healthy, and richer by $1.00. The tooth fairy, however, accidentally broke her windshield wiper off while cleaning the snow from her windshield at work today and can't, FOR THE LIFE OF HER, get the fucking twist off cap to come off her cheap, yet tasty, fruit flavored wine.
Wish me luck folks.

Got protein?

One of the people I work with recently had a stomach reduction surgery to help her with weight loss. As a result, she now has to supplement her diet with added protein shakes to remain healthy.
Not a big deal, really......
Unless she leaves one on her desk for a week.
I'm here to say, it's the most putrid thing I've ever experienced. It began to sour almost immediately, emitting a foul odor that began to get stronger and stronger as days passed. At first I didn't know where the smell was coming from.
It smelled like a stinky foot.
Once we discovered the source of the smell, it kind of ticked us off.
This coworker doesn't sit at her desk all that often, instead she opts to use a different desk in another office, yet she left her soured, rotting protein shake on the desk in my office.
Nice.....
So, being the kind soul that I am, I threw out the foul shake, making sure to use the trash next to the desk she utilizes most.
The one in the other office.
That was 2 days ago.
By now, the smell had started to permeate the entire upstairs. She initially blamed it on someone 'farting' in the office and closing the door behind them. After some time, when the smell didn't go away, she started looking around to see if there was food up there that hadn't been eaten and not thrown away. I could hear her rifling around, and making gagging noises.
Yes, the smell was THAT bad.
So, I yelled over and asked her if she'd checked the trash. Maybe the cleaning people hadn't taken the garbage out and someone had thrown food into it.......
I knew the shake was still in there.
She yelled back and said no, all she saw was a piece of paper.
Lazy.... Didn't even check her own trash.
It was all I could do to not start laughing hysterically. Now she was certain the smell was coming from the floors because the cleaning people had cleaned the carpets the day before.
It took her 3 hours to discover the source of the smell.
Imagine her surprise!
She immediately claimed someone must have been pulling a prank on her. Could it be??? Why would someone do such a thing???
Considering that she's never liked me and treats me like crap whenever she can get away with it, I have to say, I felt a little vindication.
"What kind of prank is that? Someone probably saw the shake, threw it out thinking the cleaning people would take the garbage, and they didn't." I rolled my eyes and walked out of the office.
Sometimes good things do happen for those that wait.

I found out yesterday my oldest plans on moving to North Dakota. Not sure why, but I'm not ready for him to be in a whole different state. He's never even lived on his own.....
I also found out the little girl who lives next door to me is moving as well. She and my have been fast friends since the day I moved in here.
So many things changing around me.....
I'm not always that good with change. It's hard to be a creature of habit when the whole world is shifting around you.
