My first Cheers and Jeers!!! (here)

I think it's finally time for some CHEERS AND JEERS!!!
For those of you new to Taylor's world of blogging allow me to bring you up to speed... every week or so I make a list of recent cheers and jeers, often crowning a cheers of the week and jeers of the week, followed with runners up.

Now... on with the show!

WINNERS!
Cheers of the week goes to.... BEN! Without Ben there is no way my party would have come together the way it did. From decorating to running to WalMart to just helping with... everything!! I appreciate it SO much!!

Jeers of the week goes to... THE PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY WERE COMING AND DIDN'T COME!! I was really disappointed in the people who backed out at the last second including the one I talked to just a few hours before the party started and said they were coming... lame

RUNNERS UP!
Cheers to all who came to the party. I had a great time and it seemed like everyone else did too!
Cheers to my food... it was pretty rockin'
Jeers to my roommates for being complete ass wipes in general
Cheers to rainy weather that made me feel not guilty about coming home from work and crawling right into bed.
Jeers to the lady who set her dog on fire after tieing him up... there is no excuse or explaination for that type of cruelty.
Jeers to the BoSox for losing it last night.
Cheers and Jeers to whoever brought Krispy Kremes to work this morning. It tasted great, but made me feel mucho guilty.
Cheers to seeing my family in just a little over a month.
Jeers to being too poor to see them more often.

Well, that's this week's version. Look for me next week, same bat time, same bat place!

mmmmwha!

You know what that sound is??

It's your future... and it's empty....

That's how I feel today, well, I guess it's leftover from yesterday. While I sit in my bedroom listening to my roommates play Halo as loud as possible, I am reminded that my life, as it stands now, is completely and utterly pathetic. Not only am I not going anywhere (figuratively speaking) I'm not respected by anyone. Not anyone. Not my boss, not my coworkers, not my friends or family. I am a receptionist. I spent thousands of dollars and 5 years of my life to earn 2 degrees for what? To answer phones and sell people lamps and gel in a warehouse office. Lame lame lame lame lame. The only enviable part of my life is that I get free tickets to major sporting events through work. Yeah, but is it worth it? Is my life so awful that I have to supplement it by going to as many free events as possible?? Yup, sure is.

I'm so frustrated lately with the people around me. Here's a list of things I wish, based off of my recent bad experiences with the human race:
I wish:
~people would take responsibility for their mistakes
~those same people would take moves to correct the mistakes
~managers would talk to their employees about issues, not to other people. This isn't fucking high school
~people would clean up after themselves, ask when they want to use other people's things, and put them back where they got them.
~that people would RESPECT other people's point of view not belittle or corner them because of it.
~people were seen for the ass kissing liars they are.

If you are reading this, you probably don't have anything to do with any of these. Most of this refers to work or roommates.

My roommates threw a kegger last night and trust me when I say I didn't want to have anything to do with that. I stayed at Steph's and we drank some wine, watched a movie and just chilled out. I was in heaven in a quite house with a comfy bed to sleep in, knowing I wasn't going to have to deal with roommates or loud music or any of the other bull shit that comes with going home. Thanks Steph!! You're a lifesaver.

I DID get to go to the Av's home opener on Thursday night. It was awesome!! Even though they lost it was still a great game. We really thought it was going to go into overtime but alas it did not and we went home losers. I bought an awesome jersey that was on sale and I wore it all night! Maybe I'll have the chance to get some players to sign it this season or something.

I went to JoAnn Fabrics today to try and find some shit to make my Halloween costume. I guess I don't know what I want to be yet. I pretty much just wondered around for an hour and a half. I bought a few patterns I liked (they were on sale for .99!) so I have some options. I did buy some yarn to knit a new scarf. I like knitting, it'll keep my busy when the weather is shitty, like it is this weekend.

Being broke sucks.
Hating your job sucks.
Feeling stuck sucks.
My roommates suck.


PS- I'm having a Halloween party next Saturday night so if you are around, come on over!
