#219 - catch up

whoa, a whole week of missed posts, i actually did have a lot to say in the past week, but they were all either really little things (like, not worth a whole post) or i when i thought it at the time it seemed worthy of posting, but then when i sat down to write it, it seemed dumb. so, let's do a little catch up on the past week:

1. fuzzy apple - part of my apple, by the stem and the anti-stem (y'know, the end of the core opposite from the stem, what else would you call it?), was fuzzy. i wasn't going to eat it, but my co-worker said to cut it off and it'd be fine. so i did. i hope it was okay.

2. work dreams - twice this week i either dreamed about people at work or i dreamed that i had waken up and gone to work, but i actually didn't. that makes me really mad because then you wake up and you're still in bed and you have to wake up and get ready to go to work all over again. grr. plus, i don't like even thinking about work when i'm not there (and sometimes even when i am there), so i definately don't want to think about it when i'm at home (or re-live it when i'm asleep!)

3. tow companies are full of crap - i know this well (from personal experience). it is a total conspiracy that towing companies are allowed (and actually enabled through law) to run they way they do. their "business" has got to be one of the most despicable out there. but no matter what i think about the companies themselves, i always think about the people working for them, and how they go about their day, and what they must think about the job they do daily. not just the tow truck drivers, but what about the people behind the window at the tow company lot? how do they get through their day (or, most likely, night) knowing the kinds of problems their business create? perhaps they can justify themselves by thinking about how they help unblock fire hydrants or whatever, but they have to know that the majority of their income comes from unfortunate people being in the wrong place at the exact wrong time right?

4. cold - man i've been cold since november, it's been a constant thing forever. i sleep with a heavy down comforter, i wear my jacket at work all day, i keep a blanket on the couch. i mean, i love the cool weather and being able to wear jackets and stuff, but give me a break sometime yeah? i went surfing on saturday and even with the sun beating down it was still cold. it's like the sun was not even powerful enough to dispell the cold. brr.

5. volleyball - is fun. i like it.


6. psych-dvr-marathon-friday - is awesome. five episodes, one day? what? see, this is what i miss all day working with all females and this is what growing up with all sisters has deprived me of, i need some male influence in my life, i think. too much girlie vibes, no one understands my jokes at work. it's sad.

7. rashes - are gross. see next post for more, if you're not easily grossified...

dude, that sounds sucky. does the sore stomach come before the rash? it's funny that you were able to make a timeline for your entire week. I'm sure that helped the doctor out. how long will this last & will you have the chance of getting it again?

as for psych...i totally get how no one at work understands your jokes. No one understands my office or psych or golden girls jokes...they just laugh cause they think i'm weird. are you staying at kipapa next year? the first posting for the schools came out yesterday. There's not too many places for me to go, although I don't have any plans on moving schools...especially in my "condition."

yeah, it starts with "flu-like symptoms" and then progresses to the "active phase," which is the rash. i read somewhere that once you get it you don't get it again, but my dad has had it a bunch of times. maybe i've got some genetic weakness for it?

i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be at the same place next year. our job does work like yours though, with all the postings and everything, our boss just assigns us wherever we're needed so it could be a last minute change just depending on who retires and who gets hired y'know? but i haven't heard anything yet so i'll probably stay put...
