So today, I expected Shirley to be all mad at me and stuff, given our scuffle at the end of last week... she was sweet as could be! No mention of last week's nutsiness, not even a look! First thing I did when I saw her was smile and ask her how her Christmas was, and then we joked for a bit, and I bitched about some of our suppliers being late ( Read more... )

This morning we did the traditional opening of the presents, per usual. The event was accompanied by yummy pastries and egg nog with freshly ground nutmeg sprinkled atop. =o ( Read more... )

So today I woke up and called like everyone i knew to wish them a Merry Christmas, and to tell them about how much of a bitch Melissa is so I could get some opinions on that. Basically the consensus is right in line with my conclusion: I need to cut the mom out of my relationship with Jordan, and just see the kid ( Read more... )

Ok, so today was officially Petty Bitch day in Brian's world. Firstly, right before leaving work, I get a message from Shirley, who took the day off from work (today was only a half day). She is so up my ass about getting council packets out RIGHT at the end of business on Thursday... not like any Council members come to pick it up that early, ( Read more... )

Today was a nice day... everyone in the office got each other Christmas presents. Out of the presents I recelived, Shirley certianly took the cake... she got me a phatty Starbucks gift box with like 3 bags of coffee and all kinds of lil goodies in it. I was quite excited. I got her a bottle of Godiva chocolate liquor (not cheap, mind you!) SHe ( Read more... )

Today was one of those boring days. This morning I went to a reception for my boss Shirley and the Physical Services secretary, both celebrating their 25 year anniversaries with the Town. I had cake and idle, uninteresting banter with random people. Came in just in time cuz I was doing minutes for meetings in the morning. Then I came upstairs ( Read more... )

A real long time... but lately I've been inspired to start writing in here again, after seeing some of the great things people do with their journals. Made me realize that I have some stories of my own to tell ( Read more... )

What a strange feeling... lately I've been teetering between immense clarity and deep despair. Most of the people I know (aka girls) are entering into relationships all at once. Must be a spring thing. At any rate, while on one hand I'm a bit envious, I've had the option presented to me on several occasion and have consistently declined. I'm in ( Read more... )

Wow. That's all I have to say. It's far from perfect, but goddamnit it'll pass, and it's done and over with. Even if it doesn't pass and I never get the fucking degree, at least now there's nothing more I can do about it. And so what if I didn't... how many people have survived without Masters Degrees? But they'll probably give it to me. I've ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wish I had the balls to just say fuck my master's degree... I don't care if I'm one paper away from getting it, I just don't think it's for me. I've never been so firmly and violently repulsed by a task set before me. For a year I've struggled with myself, and done nothing towards finishing this goddamn paper, and all it is now is ( Read more... )
