My Favorite Halloween Song!

You knew I couldn’t let Halloween pass without putting the Monster Mash in your heads!!

RSS <3

I agree with Heather. Why the hell aren’t all of you blogging recently ? :P Do you notice that when the rest of us are blogging like mad it motivates us to do the same ? I noticed I do that…. So here is some blogging inspiration for all of you. :P I thought I’d share some of my Bloglines RSS feeds. <3 If you’re not using Bloglines yet, get on the train! It saves me a tremendous amount of time! I have now filled that saved time with more blogs lol! I’m out of control.. I currently have 63 blog feeds and I can’t bring myself delete some. But that’s the beauty of Bloglines, the entries stay ‘new’ and wait for you until you’re bored on a Sunday afternoon and have nothing better to do. :)

Dictionary.com’s word of the day

Supreme Narcissism

Gah I have to cut this short my boss just called to ask me to do the thing I hate doing the most. I was all set to leave early to not miss any Halloweenies!

Blogosphere

So people hate the word “Blogosphere” ? Seriously ? I thought it was a really cute word! If you ask me the ‘ugliest’ word that I can think of at the moment is “Buzzword”. OMG that word makes my skin crawl. I HATE the word.

What do you think ?

LOL I just read their FAQ :

Why don’t you have a poll system?
Because this is buzzword hell not heaven or hell. There’s no picking going on here. Everything listed here goes to hell, no exceptions.

Bwahaha *snort*

“If you gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, eventually one of them would write Hey Hey We’re the Monkees!”

I almost snorted water out of my nose (a la Kelsie! :P) when I read that!

My work Loooooves buzzwords, I think I could use BuzzwordHell to my advantage LOL

BOO! Happy Halloween!!

Funky Town Too

I’m stealing Melissa’s blog entry title. I honnestly thought that the time change would reboot my mood. It hasn’t. I’m dreading winter. DREADING. I don’t want to scrape ice off the car windows in the dark mornings before work, I don’t want to freeze in my car after work all the way to Steph’s work where it’s finally nice and toasty. NOT FAIR!. I don’t want to shovel, slip on ice, wear a chunky coat, and fear driving on slick roads.

Most of all I’m bummed because 2006 is almost over and when I look back I’m dissapointed in myself. I feel like I have accomplished nothing of value. I have failed to lose weight, quit smoking, etc etc etc.

So this is pretty much why I haven’t blogged much lately…. I haven’t yet climbed out of my big bit of despair. :P

HEADS.WILL.ROLL

OMG I’m sooooo freaking royally pissed right now it’s not funny. What a bunch of !#%^%& ! Because of someone’s stupidity, I have just lost an hour of work. And this is the “hate these reports so much that I let them pile on until the last minute” reports. I finally decide to tackle them this morning and because of someone effing up on the drive I was working on, I lost an hour GAH!!!!!!!!! I’m too mad to explain it so that it makes sense, I have to go steam off. Have I mentionned that I despise this report and that it makes my eyes crossed ?

Air Quotes

All those sarcastic quotes in my previous post reminded me of DH’s horrible air quotes. He drives me nuts when he does air quotes because if you’re going to do air quotes, don’t do it so lazily ? Instead of looking like air quotes he brings his hands/fingers in front of his chest and ends up mimicking a rat. I like my air quotes at eye level almost, before and after my invisible conversation bubble. How do you do your air quotes ?

Fall Back.

I can’t wait for daylight savings to end. This weekend… One more glorious hour of sleep! Then it shouldn’t be as dark and depressing for the drive to work in the morning. It really sucks to drive to work in the dark and drive back home in the dark. Fall has already lost it’s novelty for me. It would help if it wasn’t so darn grey and wet everyday. I’m waiting for a nice and bright sunny day to go for a walk at Centennial and Mapleton park and bring my camera.

I want to blog, but it’s been so long (5 days! WOOooo what did I do before I entered the blogosphere?) I feel rusty. Well there’s also something else bothering me…. (see ? I can’t seem to formulate normal sentences..) I’m waiting until my coworkers are ready to get on the road. Today is our annual “Fall Fun Day” in F’ton. Woopdeedoo. *kill me now*. To make matters worst they have decided to inflict an all staff meeting upon us before the “festivities” start. Let’s hope that the person who planned the activities last year had been replaced. I’m sure I’ve blogged about last year’s “Fun” games, like the one consisting of people in groups of 10 standing in a circle each with a toothpick in our mouths waiting for further instructions, then they distributed a Lifesaver (as in the tiny TINY candy) to each group and without the help of our hansd we had to make the Lifesaver go around the circle….. (did i mention that most people that I work with are above the age of 50 ?)

There was also the game where they divided us into groups of 4 and made the women at on end of a field, holding a roll of toilet paper between our thighs, and the men at the other end of the field with empty paper towel rolls between their knees….. yeah you see where this is going don’t you ? Hopping old men trying to keep their stick up straight and then try to penetrate our toilet paper rolls. Honnestly though, as horrified as I was at first I couldnt help but almost DIE of laughter during this game hehe. Sometimes the height different was just too hilarious. J fell on top of the deputy minister and almost died of embarrassment. I actually have pictures of those shenanigans, but I’m too lazy to blur out all their faces hehe.

What sucks is that we’re carpooling and J and G decided that they were too “busy” to stay over. We’re coming back tonight around 10. UGH! M and P are staying over but they’re not coming right away tomorrow so that’s not an option. To me Fun part of Fun Day is actually after the event when a bunch of us usually gathers in someone’s hotel room, shed our civil servant faces and turn into party animals. Last year was a BLAST! Seriously. So I’m really bummed about missing that. Just going there for the Staff meeting and the “Fun Day” ? Are you kidding me ? Ah well, maybe it wouldn’t have been like last year anyway. See last year was the first time that the after party morphed into such big proportions. When I got back to my hotel room the next morning (yeah..) I called DH and told him : OMG You won’t believe this!hehe

I’ll be back tonight or tomorrow with “Fun Day” updates :)

Tell me when to shut up about the necklaces :P

New color scheme… hehehe
