You know, maybe it is all about confidence and trying to impress upon people that you've got it all together and feel great about the person you are. Or more than that, that you don't care what other people think. (Even though I'm pretty sure everyone is as obsessed as I am with what others think.) Anyway, Friday this guy comes to my plexiglass- ( Read more... )

after being so mellow for such a long time, I forgot what it was like to feel my blood really boil. But good god, I HATE being talked down to. At the very end of the day I got this letter from a man sniffing for his "daughter's" social security card and after some investigation with the docs he sent, as well as with the info in the computers ( ( Read more... )

Why is it every time I meet a frenchman, I HAVE to say "sac le bleu"? I mean, really...freewill my ass. This french guy comes up and my mental dialogue consists of "don't say it-don'tsayit-don'tsac le bleu!" And there it is. Cartoons have truly rotted my brain: Anal-Anti-Tv-Moms:1 Kelsey: 0 (brain). Want another? Last night I'm gonna have ( Read more... )

I am in LOVE! Nerdy and quirky and handsome and great. If you need proof, he agreed to go see Mr. Bean with me....that's right, I will be seeing Mr. Bean with a consenting ADULT. Unbelievable. And since he's not local, he talks about things other then the local football rivalry. Gee whiz, I hope he likes me back ( Read more... )

In Burma, it's okay to burp in public. Loud and proud baby. While interviewing todays batch of Burmese refugees, the mom, as non-chalant as hell, crosses her legs leisurely and "BEEERRRRGHHHH". I glance up, and the family looks as bored as they were before the "BEEEEERRRRRGHHHH" from mama. The mother would repeat this 3 times over the course of ( Read more... )

Well, as it turned out, rather than showing up for our Friday date, the Cop decides to disappear from the face of the earth? I don't think he has died, 'cause we finalize most of the deaths in Louisville and surrounding area. So, that's that then. Hmm, well Saturday I was going to meet this big group to go hiking, who cares about Cop standing me ( Read more... )

Man, it's true: Nyquil DOES give you nightmares. I've had a bit of a cold all week, so I take the stuff before bed. Last night some guy's skin melted off his head and shoulders, but his eyeballs were still there, looking all pitiful. Ugh! Wake up San Fransico! But anyway, I'm feeling much better now, so it wasn't West Nile Virus (which is what ( Read more... )

Goodness, the weather is heavenly here. HOwever, my air conditioning is centrally controlled so it's always really cold--I used to could open the window and the 100 degree weather would make the place comfortable...now I have to blow dry my face and under my sweaters, haha. But it does give me reason to drink cocoa. But let's talk Social ( Read more... )

It's so nice to have a little home of my own to fix up and decorate without having to share the decorating decisions. Mine all mine, haha! So I've got the beaver lamp Becky gave me next to my perfect Big Lots couch (thank you Big Lots Angel), my family crest up on the wall (those plastic crusader shields from the Dollar Tree) and "Cloudy With a ( Read more... )

Yea, the trainees have been set free from their desks and baffling data inputs! Now we are deducting what people need based on baffling inputs. Yesterday morning I hear my supervisor "Yes, today we throw the trainees to the wolves"! Now this is a job. It's a circus in our cubicle playworld, us all zipping around. Oh, but I get such a thrill ( Read more... )
