What's this again?
Aug. 18th, 2008 10:30 amOh, riiiiiiiiight. Work. And why do I do it again? Oh, riiiiiiiiiight. To pay for my house. I remember now.
So work's being a bit faily this week. Nothing big, just nothing going exactly right, and we're behind schedule. I wouldn't even care, but I go on vacation on Friday so I want everything to be wrapped up by tomorrow night so that no one attempts to haunt me next week.
For vacation, I'm going to spend the weekend through Tuesday with my BFF, seeing her new house in Maine. The original plan was to have our other friend join us, but she went and got herself knocked up so she can't fly up there. I'm actually looking forward to it - it's been a long time since it's been just the two of us. We've been the Three Musketeers for so long. (Backstory: BFF & I have been BFF since first grade; 2ndBFF came along in the eighth grade)
Then the next part of the week I'll be in Massachusetts visiting my brother and his wife. Beach, yay!
What amuses me about this is that when I tell people at work (my company is based in New Hampshire) this, the first thing they ask is if I'm going to stop in at the office.
Um. NO. It's a vacation. I don't understand people.

Home at Last...
May. 9th, 2008 10:25 pmI had to stay an extra day on my site this week, it went that badly. Ugh, so happy to be back in my house!
I missed tennis though :(
Also, my summer blister count is up to 10. ALREADY. Why can't I have summer shoes that don't hurt me? I am obviously too delicate to live! These flip-flops are going in the bin, for sure! They not only give me blisters, but they're also slippery.
Wow, this is a dull post. Happy weekend!

Killer day at work. So stressful, and yet part of me feels like it shouldn't have been because I spent most of my day waiting for other people to do stuff, so I could then try to do my job. :( I'm doing something new this week though, so there's the uncertainty of that, with added things not going well, and the looming idea of yet another new thing on Friday. Because why not just pile it on me, you know? No sense in spreading these things out!
Anyway, so taking up the drums was an excellent plan, because banging on them is v nice after a stressful day. I'm still tired though, and stiff, and my head feels like the picture in my icon, so I think I'm going to take some tension headache meds and go to bed in the hopes that tomorrow will be nicer.
On a related note, my sister, who is now working 5 days a week after 15 years of working 1 to 2 days a week asked me how I've done this whole full-time job thing for so long as it is very tiring! :D ♥

OMG bed *grabby hands*
Nov. 12th, 2007 02:44 amSo, so tired. Still not sleeping well. Update on fabulous weekend with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
krazycat to follow, with pictures. Level of not wanting to go to work in fifteen minutes = high. Icon used in honor of Mondays.

Nov. 2nd, 2007 05:00 pmOk, so I'm sitting here waiting for the one person I'm meant to train this afternoon to show up. It's been an hour, and while I kind of feel guilty about sitting here doing nothing, at the same time, she has a schedule. I told them at the start, I don't track people down. And they've only got 2 hours til I have to leave. Ah well, I'm where I'm supposed to be.
Sooo. *bored*
Sooo. *bored*
Bwahahaha!
Oct. 22nd, 2007 06:05 pmOkay, so I'm working from home, right? And I'm not training, I'm doing config stuff, so I've got my ipod playing in the next room. Loud enough that I can hear it but not really loud. And there are maybe 10 songs out of the 3500 I have loaded on there that are not work-safe. So what plays the second I answer the phone and my client is on the other end?
Green Day's Like a Rat Does Cheese
The lyrics:
Suck my dick until your lips fall off, don't make me ask again please!
And it gets worse from there *headdesks* I don't think he heard, it's turned down low, but come on - what are the odds?!

And in other news this morning...
Sep. 4th, 2007 10:51 amI remain totally uninterested in actually doing my job. I know, you are all shocked.
Back later to tell you all about my fab weekend. *smooches*
Back later to tell you all about my fab weekend. *smooches*
To Do:
Clean living room to the standard that I don't feel cluttered
Start packing process, figure out what I need to buy, if anything
Finish laundry
Also, six hours of leading conference calls plus one sore throat = bad combination.

Dear Work,
I really don't want to play today. The fact that it's gray and cloudy out does not help. I would much prefer to spend the afternoon lying on my couch doing nothing than leading conference calls all day. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'll feel that way tomorrow too, so if you could see fit to cancel both days and yet still pay me, that'd be awesome.
kthxbai,
B

Is it Friday yet?
Feb. 12th, 2007 09:29 pmUgh. Long, long day. First off, I'm working at a client site in Atlanta this week, when I was supposed to be working on a remote project. The upside is that I'm at home, so I can do stuff in the evenings, but the downside is that I have to deal with Atlanta traffic, which can mean taking up to two hours to drive what should take twenty minutes.
Then to top that off, I go to air up my tire, which has looked a bit low all weekend, and discovered that there's a nail in my tire. So I then got to spend close to three hours waiting at Pep Boys and to shell out close to $300 on a pair of new tires. Fun, fun.
So now I'm home, and in my jammies, and watching a bit of tv before I have to go do more moving stuff. So not getting all the things I meant to do done tonight. C'est la vie.

Oct. 12th, 2006 03:45 pmI miss vacation!
Work is majorly stressing me out today. More work than was scheduled for, internal politics that I don't care about and don't want to be a part of, and classes running long which means I probably won't get to take a bite out of the soup I ordered (25 minutes ago - srsly, how long does it take to ladel out some soup and run it up three flights of stairs? *grump*) before it's time to head back down for my next class.
Of course, all of this is nothing out of the ordinary for my job, and normally I can handle it, but today I am not in the mood.
Is it Thanksgiving yet? I hear London calling my name...
ETA: And now I've got The Clash stuck in my head, which is actually making my day look up.

Okay, so here's the part about my job that I always think no one understands. Or at least, not at first. Y'all probably do because I whinge about it all the time.
So I'm in Ireland. I don't have to work tomorrow; I have a noon flight to Paris. Yes, I realize that all of that sounds quite glam, and I'm happy I get to do stuff like this.
But it's 8pm on a Thursday. And I want to go out. But not by myself.
I've promised myself I would; I've gone to the trouble of finding out from my trainees where I should go. But a big part of me just wants to stay in and eat take away and watch TV, because I find it so uncomfortable to be out alone. And when it's not uncomfortable, it tends just to be dull. During the day, it's fine, I don't mind at all - I can go sight-seeing and generally have a grand time. Night-time is a different story.
So. Right. Going now. *pushes self out the door*

Monday morning ugh.
Feb. 27th, 2006 10:27 amI got seriously very little sleep last night, so that's going to taint everything today. The A/C unit in my hotel room kept making a noise every ten minutes or so, and it kept waking me up. I even shut the damn thing off and it still made the noise! *grrrrrr* Needless to say, I'ma have to speak to someone about that today.
So now I'm at work - they are sooooooo not prepared for us to be here today. Our client took control of this hotel on Saturday at 12:01 am, and they are running a skeleton crew. Should make for an interesting week. So my contact? Will be on property at noon. Despite the fact that I sent an email last week specifically stating that we would start at nine, to which she did not reply. *double grrrrrrr*
