After virtually no sleep last night, I got up this morning and stuck it to the man. I think I found and hit my anxiety plateau, because for a little while in the car on the way to the office I was pretty certain I was going to piss myself ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to quit my job this week. There's been a lot of internal drama lately at work, and I was recently made the scapegoat--long story short. So I think it's time for me to go. I'm hoping to collect unemployment in the interim between this and finding a new job, so I should be okay financially. When I go up to give my ( Read more... )

The first three days of camp have been a riot, let me tell you. Definitely an adventure. Pretty much, there's 18 disturbed 5-8 year olds all in the same room under the supervision of 5 TSS's. Which, you know, doesn't seem like a bad ratio. However, let's not underestimate the extent of the fucked up. Let's just say that we've all raised our ( Read more... )

My two weeks off have been pretty awesome, not going to lie. Last week was the Zbegner camp, during which I managed to get a fish drunk, broke a boat oar, destroyed in a game of Monopoly, owned at Scrabble, and drank my weight at least twice. There was a bit of an emo fest in the middle due to some unforeseen circumstances and a few people having ( Read more... )

Gosh, kind of a lot's happened since my last entry. Heather and Johnny are engaged, which we all knew was coming, but still made me unbelievably happy. The ring is nice, but does not hold a candle to the ridiculous that is Probst's ring. However, it's very simple, classic, elegant--very Heather. Also in keeping with Heather's lifestyle, there's ( Read more... )

Last weekend passed in a drunken blur. Amy Peasley, Becky, and I ran into Chris, Dave, and his friends at the Saloon. I ran into Andy, who said that when the bars closed he intended to open up the skating rink for a private party of drunken roller skating ( Read more... )

This weekend, the local band, percussion, and guard teams were attending the annual competition in Wildwood, New Jersey, and since Becky's siblings are in high school and are in the contest, Mr. and Mrs. Shank made the trip as well. As Becky explained this to me, I became greatly excited for the possibility of a party and said as much. The best ( Read more... )

Wow, so I guess it's been a while. I don't think I even wrote about when Liz was here. That can be summed up easily though: sketchtastically awesome. It was amazing how well she fit in with everyone else. I love it. Remember that time she had to go back to New York and we were driving around looking for the bus but it was really a ( Read more... )

Remember how last week I was constantly covered in cat fluids? I've got a new one for you: placenta. Yep, cat placenta. Only this time I knew it was coming and was able to avoid the carnage. During my home hours I got to see the birth of two kittens, and I was pretty happy about it. We're worried the one won't make it because it was born ( Read more... )

I've had a miserably long week. It involved for two solid days being covered in excrement from all ends of cats (not one, mind you); not sleeping; being on the receiving end of flying objects and screams of hatred; some awkward issues of the human body at work that, of course, children have no problem whatsoever pointing out; computer delays; and ( Read more... )
