Whoo hoo!!

June 6th, 2008 · No Comments

So Wednesday was my birthday. It was good. There was lunch at Tucano’s (a Brazilian steakhouse) and yarn shopping and other shopping and See’s chocolate and Backer’s Bakery cake and Litza’s pizza. I bought enough yarn to make a sweater. I finished knitting a Dalek. I watched Doctor Who. And my sister got a phone […]

What a leap day.

February 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Today at work has been– interesting. We’ve all moved past the shock of coming in and hearing “We’re closing. As of now. As soon as we can get the patients moved out. Friday, hopefully. Monday at the latest.” We’ve done the depression and the anger and the sadness, and now we’re all just kind of– […]

Well, that killed my happy mood.

My employer is closing. I’m losing my job. Maybe by the end of the week, definitely by the end of next. This royally sucks.

Can we get some communication, people?

January 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Don’t get me wrong. I like my job. I don’t love it, but I like it. Most of the time the people I deal with outside of the company are polite. My coworkers are all nice. And how much, really, can you complain about a job that lets you play around on the internet ALL […]

Look! An update!

January 9th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve decided that I need to update more. At first I thought of posting every single day, but then I realized that the main reason I haven’t been posting much lately is that my life has become incredibly boring. I figured you didn’t want to read about how I got up, went to work, went […]

What a difference music makes. . .

November 7th, 2007 · No Comments

I mean, I always knew that music affects you, but this has been such a dramatic change, I’m really quite amazed. So, on Nov. 1, KOSY started playing Christmas music, right? Well, my boss went to change the station, but rather than changing it straight to KODJ (the oldies station) as we’d discussed, she went […]

Y HALO THAR, CHRISTMAS MUSIC!

November 1st, 2007 · No Comments

Yup, it’s begun. I’ve only been listening to it for an hour, and I’m already sick of it. I really need my boss to come in so she can switch it to the oldies station. I dressed up for Halloween this year. I was too tired to upload any pics last night, but when I […]

The Great KOSY Survey

October 22nd, 2007 · No Comments

So, two Wednesdays back (10/10), I decided that I wanted to prove to myself that KOSY plays the same songs and artists over and over and over again. So I started keeping track of all the songs played between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm for one whole week, with the help of KOSY.com. I had […]

To my coworkers:

September 5th, 2007 · No Comments

RELAX. Yes, it sucks that they didn’t do direct deposit today. It sucks even more that they’ve discontinued it for the foreseeable future, and didn’t let us know about it until this morning, when it didn’t show up in our accounts. And it sucks most that even though the checks were supposed to be here […]

I’m going to go insane.

August 31st, 2007 · No Comments

Okay, so. This week has been so slow. And today has been slower. There are several reasons for this. The first is that I haven’t been sleeping well (for reasons unknown), so I am dead tired. Going to see Hairspray at 9:30 PM on Wednesday night did not help this situation. The second is that […]
