Today - Work, get oil changed, clean out car, sleep ( Read more... )

At work I’ve hit my second 90 day review… this is kinda scary to me. Not because I’m made it to the 6 months with a company, but because my boss came into my office yesterday and told me to fill out this assessment on myself. And once again, I think I’m being my worst critic. Having less then a years experience in the actual business world, I ( Read more... )

Lets start with the good times. So my new years break (my 3 day weekend) was spent relaxing and just enjoying myself. I spent some time with friends that I don’t get to see very often. And Friday, I got to spend about 3 hours trying not to gouge my eyes out…. Yeah, one could say that the girls that I was around were the MOST ANNOYING humanoids I ( Read more... )

Today is the last working day of the year 2006. It’s kinda sad how many things I have on my plate, and how I really just want to go home and worry about it in the New Year. But being the good little Marketing Analyst that I am, I am trying my best to focus and get at least one big project off my plate. Not to mention, I really want to hear my ( Read more... )

“Due to cost cutting measures, we are letting go all temporary employees.” This was the subject line to the worst email of the year. So as some of you know, the Marketing Department (by the way, that’s ME) had an additional employee on their team for a few weeks. It was really neat to have a receptionist that could do all the filing and keep ( Read more... )

I’ve heard of Jack Frost nipping at someone’s nose before, but this is going too far. To tell you how cold it is in Decatur right now (well, how cold my office is), I still have on my winter coat, jacket, gloves, hat, ear muffs, fuzzy socks, and I have 3 space heaters strategically places around my desk. Yeah, it was 22 degrees outside while I ( Read more... )

So why is it that every time you are exhausted you walk into your office and all hell has hit the fan? Let me start by explaining my first 6 hours of work. So, my alarm clock went off about 3 hours after falling asleep; for any of you that has done that lately, I don’t recommend it. But I got my lazy butt out of bed, and I got ready for work.

“When you call your dog and it comes to you, do you do something similar to what I do: I say something like, "you are such a sweet dog" (usually in a sort of goofy voice), all the while rubbing around her ears and the back and top of her head. And sometimes I will lie down on the floor and stroke her belly while I talk to her and tell her what a ( Read more... )

Ok, so I was asked to try to recall one event from each year of school… and one event from each group I was involved in… by the way… if you’ve never seen my resume, I was an active kid. (Remember that these are the first memories that come to mind, not the best or the only ( Read more... )

So maybe the best way to describe my weekend is Legally Blond meets Crazy in Alabama. It all started with the normal ride to Huntsville on Wednesday getting ready to move in with my parents. Of course, trying to transport two strawberry pies… this was just the beginning. Thanksgiving was as normal as any of the Griswold movies. This was the ( Read more... )
