Out and about

Haven't had a "real" update for awhile, but I've been busy. Happily busy thanks to eeyorekdm's visit. Showed her the sights and sounds of Ft. Fun. Oh and tastes...lots and lots of food and drink. And yes, we were merry.
Since her departure things have slowly reverted back to normal. That first Monday back at work was not a happy occassion but ce la vie.
Was over at a friends house playing poker on Saturday. I won, naturally. I think gambling must be some sort of genetic thing in my family. At least on my mom's side.
Afterwards, the hostess was doing readings with "Medicine Cards," basically a Native American kind of Tarot cards. Her boyfriend decided that he didn't need a reading as he already knew that his spirit animal was a banana slug. He pointed out that everybody always has some sort of noble animal spirit like the wolf or the eagle. Nobody has some sort of coral as their animal spirit...or a stinkbug, something like that. Along the same lines we discussed how people discuss past lives and they're always some warrior in the Crusades or Joan of Arc or something. I'd like to see somebody say that in their past life they were a ditchdigger, a chamberpot cleaner, the guy the king stepped on to get into his carriage...something like that.
Saw Ghost World last night. Possibly not the best movie to see in my current state of angst, boredom and general dissatisfaction, but too late now. I did like it though. Afterwards I got to watch schwa242 tatoo mezdeathhead. I was the girl with a bazillion questions. I have yet to meet my tatoo rule in order to get one, but I think I may be a little closer than I was before last night.

Oooooooo It's lunchtime!!

GRRRRRR!

So I've been working 7-4 at my job. Getting up early sucks, but when I get in here early I can actually get things accomplished before people come in and start asking me to do random stuff for them. Plus, it's nice to get out early. Well, apparently if I leave early then the girls upstairs get stuck answering the phones from 4-5 so I have to switch my schedule to 8-5. Seeing as we get about 2 calls a night, tops, during that hour, I say TTTTTTTTHHHHHPPPPPTTTTT!!!! And that I'll be here at 8 tomorrow :-P
On another happy note, the company is slowly floundering. Our best contract contact just got his two weeks notice, interest is way up, but sales are way down and our break even was just calculated at about $10,000/month more than the owner had thought it was. Well, at least I work in one of the two revenue making positions. My job will be pretty secure until the point when I see the owner's wife coming in to help out. Silver linings or some such.
