So today we got the information on how the transition/lay off is gonna go down.  Good new as that I get a week of with pay in the beginning of May but the scary news is that it looks like I'll be out of a job again the following week.  At first, when we got the news of the layoff it kind of felt like no big deal but now that there is an actual time ( Read more... )

So yes, I was in a pillow fight on Saturday and it was just as ridiculous and amazing as you would expect it to be.  I also threw the first swing which makes me a badass.  All the people there were amazing but and it was really funny because no one knew what to expect so all the people were sitting around all incognito hiding their pillows and crap ( Read more... )

So first off I'll say that last night was pretty awesome.  I definitely drank a pitcher of beer and starting hitting on girls it was great.

And in totally unrelated news it's my mom's last day here.  It's kind of sad but I don't know why.  It's not like I'm not going to see her anymore but she was like a safety net here.  She was a buffer between ( Read more... )

So this weekend I've been my usual down in the dumps grumpy self, and although I have become accustomed to this, it can get a little old.  Well now I am finally excited because I have a couple fun filled events in my immediate future.  Tonight I'm going to the Pour House to rub elbows with congressional staffers and consume $2 beers and there is ( Read more... )

So I was walking down the hallway today and I overhear some other people talking about how much they appreciate what I do around here.  Now I know it could easily be any other admin but it feels good to hear your name in a positive light without having to prompt people for it.  I hope they remember all these nice things when I put them down as ( Read more... )

So the post con doldrums have passed and have been replaced by restlessness.  I wanna do something but I have no idea what.  I checked tickets for Ibiza but I figured no one would go with me anyway.  I'm liking the sound of Shamrock Fest but Susan who has already bought her ticket has decided she would rather go to Boston.  I dunno, I think I would ( Read more... )

So I forgot about the post-con doldrums.  I'm so tired and bored and everything seems to be tinted with an ugly shade of gray.  And it's finally sinking in that I'm about to lose my job and am a few weeks away from working at Popeye's.  But the good thing about being the moodiest person in this hemisphere is I know that in 2 days time I'll be all ( Read more... )

Ok now I'm getting excited.  It's actually here.  And I actually have money for this one!  Plus after getting my stupid "you don't have a job anymore" news, I'm really excited to leave real life for a weekend.  I haven't got all the stuff i wanted for my outfit but at this point I don't even care.   I'm sure I have enough crap in my closet to throw ( Read more... )

My company was recently acquired.  So there was a staff meeting this morning about the direction of the company in the future.  Word on the street is "lay offs".  Not such a big deal for me because I was only planning on this being a temporary job but the time line kid of sucks.  It's looking like I'll be out a job in April, which is barely enough ( Read more... )

So I'm still sick.  Not terribly sick but I don't feel like my super awesome and peppy self yet either.  But I did realize one thing:  shopping makes it all better.  I went shopping with Susan on Wednesday and looking at this very slick shirt I have on I'm feeling a bit better.  I even got something for the con, even though I still need to get the ( Read more... )
