Oy to the Vey
Jan. 5th, 2005 01:44 pmIt's a bad sign when every third email makes you want to call people and scream "what the fuck are you talking about?" It's only the 5th and I think I've already hit my maximum allowance of buzz words for the month.
It's a rule of thumb for me that the more buzz words you use without irony, the less reliable you are in terms of knowing what you are actually requesting or having gotten the approval you should have before it started.
Is it bad I was gone for 4 days and now need a vacation after being back in the office for less than two full days?
Then my CD player in the computer broke. No more music. :-(
I am so leaving here early and working from home the rest of the day.
On the upside:
I found the slipat mats I was going to order from Martha Stewart for the same price locally – which means cheaper when you include shipping. Then I found them even cheaper on line. ;-) I had asked for them for Christmas but Mr Bear and his Mom were hard pressed to find them. I'll buy two with the paycheck after this one. This one is tuition.
Things I Am Grateful For
Specialty stores. They're like retail porn for foodies/geeks/etc.
Having enough
Mr Bear
Knowing the difference between being empathetic and being patronizing
Macintosh apples
Dance mix CDs
Health Insurance
Things I Want Today
For the studio to be moved and heated already
A nap
Sex ;-)
A haircut
