someone

is a bit short tempered today. not to name any names or anything, but.......it's me. i'm moving into the tired stage of cranky for no reason. i should have gone to bed at eight last night, but after helping sis#4 (i was packing boxes and labeling them with the origin of the contents. one wasn't quite full so i brought it downstairs to only later find her going through it organizing and such. hello!!? you have to be out by saturday morning. you are past the point of getting to do that. go through the box when you unpack it.) i then ended up on a crowded couch watching the movie "taking lives", which i got really into and enjoyed. knowing that angelina jolie was in it was the part that made me watch the beginning until i got a glimpse of her and by then i was hooked. now a few hours later i am sitting here trying to enter numbers into a spreadsheet so we can verify that the laser is set correctly prior to shipping it to mexico and then having to reset it anyway because of the move. who votes to just set it up once when it arrives to the location where it is going to be used? well, that's one yes vote from me and several confused faces. i'll take that as a majority no. what do i want to do tonight? go directly home and go directly to sleep until the morning when i will get up and go lug boxes into a moving truck and then go directly to sleep and play three basketball games back to back and win the championship giving nice shirt a hat trick on consecutive championships (softball, football and a possible basketball). what will most likely happen? i'll go help pack some more, go out for the evening, wake up even more tired, be in a bad mood during the whole move, go out to relax from that, get up late and rush to basketball and be worthless to the team. that is if i don't forget about the time change.

i just didn't get the memo, but i am pretty sure that it is not bring your child to work day and i'm also pretty sure that a three year old won't get anything out of job shadowing, so the question on my mind and hopefully others in the office area is, why did stirrup pants lady bring her kid in and why is she just hanging out in her cube with little normal three year old outbursts followed by shhhh, be quiet and shut up? people bring in kids sometimes on their way through during vacations to show them off and such, but no one ever reports to work with kid in hand and go at it for four hours like nothing is odd about it. i'd love to get the scoop on it, but i don't want to sacrifice any allies by sending them for a long conversation that will lead to them running away screaming because their mind can't compute the logic that she just used. so, i am just going to go with the fact that it won't make any sense even if i knew. tonight i am to report to my sis #4's house for under the stairs clean out duty. it should be just a bunch of old seasonal decorations, but i can not make the promise that i won't be bringing anything home. there's halloween stuff in there. i'm not that strong.

for good, the specialist is home. her and others arrived last night via flashing lights escort. she said that people were annoyed and then were all happy wavey when they realized what was going on. she received a package from the government containing one box of shortbread girl scout cookies, one small bag of 7 11 coffee and two packs of the christmas edition of bubble tape. she ran around the house a bit and then passed out on the couch. rocky was being mister protective dog and was barking at anyone who came near her. she must have had bacon in her pocket.

interview....done. it's been way too long. i got a bit nervous right before it, but i was able to unleash my lifelong trained bs skills. now i have to wait to see if i made it past that woman to see if i get to come in and go through the whole process again with another woman. my boss at this particular job will be a woman if i am the chosen one. that will be a nice change. although i guess i can see where it could be worse. i'll be glad just to have a reason to take a day off. i was tired and it was dark after i ate last night when i got home. the whole drive i was thinking about jumping on my new bike and taking off. i ended up just going down the block when the girl got home and then she took it for a spin. i'm still trying to sleep off the weekend. that's not going to happen anytime soon. i'm not to passout during work stage yet, but it's getting close. blogger has been stupid and slow lately and it is becoming a pain to post.

after

a sleepless ride home with sis #4, i opened the door to view a brand new beautiful birthday bicycle from the girl. it also included a really cool helmet. it is so fun to ride it up and down the hallway. it was so nice just to finally be home with her, but to be presented with a gift as soon as i open the door...................... the rest of my weekend consisted of smelling cat pee for the entire drive because the cats decided to protest and not pee in the litter, seeing women scratch records in a bar basement prior to the performance of the woman rap artist with "the number one mix tape in st. louis", shopping with the fam at a new mall that has a skate park inside, having conversations with people that i don't know but know my name that get mad when my friends come up to say something to me or when i try to get away at some hick bar, being the only car on the road and having the town cop follow me for six miles until i hit the county line and watching niece #6 stand up on her chair, turn around, pull her pants down and just stand there mooning my whole family during easter lunch.

she has an obsession with christmas that has led to my mom leaving some of the decorations up all year long so that she doesn't have to drag them out with every visit. i say leave out some tinsel and pack up the singing dancing santa. she can beat me at putting together puzzles.
