Feeling upbeat despite some things

It sounds bad, but when my coworkers are fired, once I get over the initial anxiety that I may be next and slight sadness they are gone, I'm somewhat relieved, because it means my job is a little safer (for now). Actually, yday's firings are a sign the whole dept (which isn't very big) is on its way down the tubes. I heard about them by text today thru my former co-worker (also fired) who used to sit next to me. It was one of those times I'm glad I didn't have my cell phone on me. Had I brought it to comm college (rather, left in the car), I would have seen her text after class and felt anxious on the way home instead of being able to enjoy the little shopping trip I did. I couldn't believe that the senior employee and another woman, who is a very good customer service rep, would be fired. The other night after I made a mistake and confided in one of the 3 male coworkers about my job security, he said they won't fire me b/c I speak French, and even though they don't seem like they care about the Canadian program, they do.
Stopped at employment agency where I stopped 3 weeks ago. I talked to a different woman and said I'd send a different version of resume. Rather annoying when I mention my employer, they try to weedle info out of me for their benefit, to see if they can work with them. Anyway, didn't get email back. I'd better! I may go to a Rotary club meeting next week since they meet at the delicious Italian resto near my house where my bday dinner was. I think it may be middle-aged people and up, but if I can network, that's the point.
It's half-price cheesecake day at Cheesecake Factory! (Where I had lunch, no dessert a week ago). The caesar salad and personal pizza with mini pepperoni's combo Marsha had seem good. My Lousiana chicken wasn't bad. If I go for c cake tomor, I may want the new Red Velvet, or Chocolate Tuxedo. mY god, you'd think I was PMSing. I came home and googled different restaurants in the area. Some places I'd like to go: Olive Gardnen, Outback Steakhouse, Rd Lobster, Longhorn Steak house, Brio, Anokhra Indian and new Tapas place near me. And I just ate Hot and Spicy Cheez it's and 100 Grand. Exercise needed tomorrow! Oh, I'm getting a deep-tissue massage :).

Power Point

It's my task to put together the group PowerPoint for tomorrow's biz class presentation-- took longer than I thought. I'm not as familiar with MS Office 2007, and got frustrated this morning changing one gp member's slides to coordinate with the "prettified" slides I did last night on my laptop with Office 2003. I didn't spend much time on the latter, which was chucked and a "theme" adopted instead.
Burger Night last night was better. I am, however, proud of myself for leaving earlier than the rest of the group. I feel strange doing that, that it seems snotty or something, but it was already 11:30pm, and I knew I need time to work on PPoint.
I took a sick day today because I didn't feel well starting last night-- lethargic, slight head and stomach aches. Leaves me more time to finish, prepare, and be rested for tomorrow's presentation. Ironic I take a sick day while working on a "healthcare reform" project!

Little sleep

Man, this horoscope is the most frank one I've come across, at least mine, for today.

Friday "Blueberry blitz"

Second time getting that shake at the gym. I got a card where if I buy 9, get one free. And it was punched twice.. sweet. But they're kind-of expensive, and I know I could make them myself if I took the time and effort.
Today is a friend's bday. We made plans to have lunch Sunday. I need to work on my paper, but know I need to make time to be social.
Got a cold sore on my lip.. hate that. Shows how stressed I've been.

l'été s'en va

(The summer is going by)
Hopefully, in the future I can look back on the summer I was 24, that wasn't really a summer because I work evenings, and think "Yes, it was an unhappy time, but it got better."
Really sucky 2/4 group members aren't pulling their weight; we present in a week.
Was lethargic today (maybe avoidance of my paper) but must be productive.

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.
