make

a hand gesture to pull over and then drive away as quickly as possible when the others get out of their car. that was the plan on some random lady's mind last night when she rear ended me at a stoplight. i was so pissed off when she flew past me. me and the girl were so confused that we didn't get a chance to get her license plate number. i ran to the back of my car to see the damage and it was just some scratches, so no big deal, but if it would have been more, i would have tried to catch up with her at the next light to at least call in her plates with a hit and run. that stuff just makes me mad. why even gesture to me to pull over if you aren't going to stop yourself. do you really need that much of a head start? that only led to me and the girl arguing over what to do in that situation if the car gets banged up. i say to at least try to catch up and get the plates since that person is most likely sitting at the next red light. she says to just leave it be and have your own insurance pay for it so you don't end up in a bigger accident. i don't think we'll come to an agreement on that one. ok. move on. then we went past a mcdonald's. two customers with to go bags were running across the parking lot and two employees were running around in circles. one employee had a broom in his hands and broke it when he slammed it on the pavement. i then looked at the area he struck and surely enough there was a huge rat running around. he totally missed and the rat was still zooming around them. haha wait till i tell touchdown #1 about this. maybe she'll consider eating at quizno's again.

breakfast

is nothing to mess with. coworker with brain and i have become extremely addicted to the sausage and egg with cheese on grilled toast here at work. the only thing is that only one cook can make it without messing it up and ruining our day. we tried out a new lady once and it was a disaster, so we always opt for the biscuits and gravy when our favorite chef hasn't made it to work. well, this morning there was a new face behind the grill and.........they were out of biscuits! we both just stood there not knowing what to do. i started panicking because i missed out on monday because i helped sis #4 in the morning, i skipped work tuesday and i was late yesterday so i needed that sandwich. coworker with brain then suggested that we go to mcdonald's for a mcgriddle. i did not argue with that. mmmmm.......that sandwich hit the spot.

one of the few in my department with common sense. we take turns listening in on conversations during the day and then compile them to get a good laugh. he likes to say things like "the bulb isn't working because all the fluid leaked out" so we can hear the idiots repeat it to others later.

headache,

headache, headache, headache. i stayed home yesterday because i simply didn't want to get out of bed and now today i am here at work with a huge headache. i've been squinting all morning due to the florescent lights and i've been grabbing at my ears whenever my phone rings. i chose the wrong sick day, but who knew? the aussie should be landing in chicago sometime today! it surely doesn't feel like a month has passed. not that i want her to be gone any longer, but it just seemed short. now i'm off to stare at something darker than i can get my screen to be.

team

masterbatters has been paid for and is official. even everyone on the team has paid and no one has to worry about it come game time. now i just have to pick up the phone and order some shirts. can i get around to that today? certainly. i just need to get rid of my ate too much at lunch sleepy voice and lack of concentration prior to doing so. i got up quite early this morning and went to help sis #4 get her final belongings out of the house before they did the closing at nine. the move went rather smoothly. i was expecting it to be way worse, but there was a lot of help and that made a huge difference. while some wrestled with piling furniture into the truck, the rest of us threw lingering objects into boxes and bags. my tag line for the day was "just put it in a box and tape it up before she notices." things i will miss about that house: waking up to the 2 year old and 3 year old neighbor kids standing over my bed waiting for me to come play on a saturday morning and replying with nobody when i ask who let them in the house, getting to hear bad 80's music coming from someone's yard while they garden and then hear them argue loud enough to hear it over the music, going from the upstairs bathroom to my room upstairs without a towel only to remember midway that the stair windows have no curtains, staring at a pool that we couldn't use, the ice cream truck speeding around trying to figure out how to get back to the main street and then being cornered with kids on bikes when a turn on dead end road was taken, my mom pulling into the driveway with suitcases in the trunk and saying "i was on a drive and realized i was heading in this direction so i thought i would just come up for the weekend".
