Crankiness

Plumb forgot about 12:30 Pilates class today (I've gone the last 2 Sundays), but tanned (barely) at the pool and swam laps. I still feel antsy and thought of going to gym now, but I'm clean, don't want to get sweaty, and have class tomorrow morn (will be early this time!).
Ugh, what is with 30/40 yr old men msging me on the meetup.com site? I want younger men!
I went on a grocery store trip to (avoid HW and) get sparkling water. I forgot that store only carries the small bottle of Perrier and Seltzer, so instead I got some delightfully salty frozen snacks, such as smiley-face potato snacks to help combat the crankiness in blog title.

I'm officially a concierge bitch

"bitch" as in I do others' crap work. Referring to, I ordered pizza last night for someone. Actually, it was kind-of fun for the first time, but reminds me, wtf is this? I don't care about getting people shit they can get themselves.
I like talking to Canadian men for some reason. I wanna go to Novia Scotia. So fun to say.

Job listing

Way to go Washington Post.. in the weekly email I asked them to send me, I'm given "Refrigeration Technician" as a suitable job listing.
I'm annoyed I didn't accomplish more this week while my mom and sis were away. Still have my 2 HW assignments and some work on rough-draft paper for group project. Just let it be over! I value my sleep too much. Can't believe the prof hasn't graded/ given comments on our first 3 assignments; I kind-of like to have feedback.

Work anxiety

Ugh, I woke up after 5:30 this morn because I dreampt I forgot to enter information at work, which I did. Ironically, it was a call I listened to in my daily meeting with junior mgr. I could have emailed my company, but figured I'd talk directly.
It's taken care of, in 2 calls (b/c I forgot details).

Je m'en fous.

Burger Night

Don't be fooled by the title, it wasn't a fun night. It wasn't a terrible night, but considering I have 1 weeknight off a week and work every other weekend, I want to be doing something fun the few times I go out, not sharing a table with middle-aged truckers dressed to impress. Yes, that was the situation tonight. I met up with a friend from HS at Capitale Ale house, where you can get $1-$2.50 burgers if you order any drink (pretty good deal, eh?).
Her acquaintances from meet-up arrived shortly before our food arrived. They're in their 30's, which is fine, but one of the women attracted the attention of guys at the bar, who wanted to join us. One woman asked us, because we didn't have to invite them. I didn't care. But when I saw them approach, I thought "Oh no, they're O L D." We're talking some with graying hair. And drunk. and loud. and hence, acting stupidly around younger women. I wanted to leave soon after but my friend wasn't ready yet. We didn't stay too long, and I followed my friend by car to the French student's host family's place because I offered to pick her up tomorrow to go to work. Well, at least I can appreciate younger men more next time I go out.

Ras-le-bol

I so dislike my job right now.. all the petty details, and having to apologize for mistakes I didn't make myself.
And I'm so annoyed I'm taking this business class b/c I don't want to do the HW or group project. UUGGGGHHH. The book has some interesting points, but other than that, it's just terrible timing. Want to be done with the stupid thing.

GRE studying

I was lazy about studying for the GRE, then got motivated, but haven't studied as diligently as a I should. Trying to figure out how the actual test date, when set, will work with my work schedule.
Yday the cashier at Dollar General, a big, black guy, hit on me; hee hee. It was strange but the flattery made my day (Ellen reminded me our new president was sworn in, a bigger reason to be happy!).
Trippy dream before waking up. My manager was in it, and I was going to kick him in the face to defend myself. (Doesn't reflect my attitude toward him, he's a nice guy). Infanticide was going to take place by lowering a toddler on a pizza pusher (to go in big oven).
Waiting for Friday's paycheck, getting low; it's been like that the past 3 months mid month after paying Dad back. I could pay him less per month, but I want to get it over with.
