Holy Crap....Madonna!

I’m not even going to start talking about how much I hate my job today… you know why? Because of my job I got free tickets to see Madonna in concert tonight! Ok, so my actual job sucks but the perks are pretty awesome.



Jordan left last night. We all hung out at LIME last night for some tacos and beer. If you like tequila it could be your new favorite place, but me, I can not partake. Just the smell makes me want to vomit. Many of us have that one liquor/beer/wine that you know does not do the body good. Sometimes it used to, but it only takes one huge instance to make that go right out the window! I had a tequila night… shot after shot with other drinks mixed in there… I think it was the only time in my college career that I used the Pennsylvania safe ride system (you can have the bartender call you a cab and they take you home for free, you just tip them…). After that, I just can’t do tequila anymore. For one of my friends it’s Coor’s Light. That used to be our beer! Now it makes her sick. Se la vie, what can ya do?



So yes, I get to see Madonna tonight. I didn’t get tickets because they were pretty expensive, but for free?!? OH YEAH!! I’m trying to rack up as many of these old guys before they stop touring!! You know she’s gotta be on her last leg. I heard that she kept the crowd waiting until 9:30 before she even went on stage (the concert was supposed to start at 8 and I don’t think she has an opener…. Why would she? She’s Madonna!) Don’t worry my fair friends, I will try and take some pictures and post them in the next couple days.



If you read my year in review you’ve seen that I have quite the concert resume building. This will certainly add to that. Now if only I could get ACDC tickets for free too… They are $100 for every seat, how weird is that? You could be in the first row or the last…$100 please! Seriously, I think that’s weird.



So I haven’t done cheers and jeers for a while, so here we go:



WINNERS

Cheers of the week goes to… KIMBERLY! If you don’t know why, you need to read my weekend review post.

Jeers of the week goes to… the COLD! I know I can’t do anything about it, but damn, the fall weather has been so nice!



RUNNERS UP

Cheers to wearing my Uggs again. I know I don’t like the cold, but I do love my ugly Uggs.

Jeers to the guy who pushed Anderson (from the Nuggets) down which gave him a broken rib.. and Anderson didn’t even get the foul!! Get well soon.

Jeers to my roommates using my special Av’s pint glass because they don’t understand the concept of washing dishes. I had it in my pasta cupboard for a reason… so you don’t use it!!

Cheers to Mario Kart. Best. Investment. Ever.

Cheers to knowing I’m going home for the holidays! I can’t wait to see Amy and I’ve already talked to Paul about meeting at “our spot” and I’m pretty excited to see both of them.

Cheers to getting my life back together. It’s a long road… but I gotta do it.



What are your cheers and jeers of the week?

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!

And another one bites the dust hey hey...

So that's 9 employees that have quit OS in the 9 months I've been there. Averaging one a month, way to go! Shouldn't someone, somewhere, in upper-management land be asking some questions?? Like, why are people who have been there for 20+ years leaving all of a sudden?? Why does a company of just 18 employees turn over completely in just over a year? I know that answer!!! Geez, seriously, why isn't anyone curious or puzzled by why we keep bringing in new employees but our business isn't growing?? Who knows, Maybe that person quit too....

Riddle me this... my computer automatically spell checks everything I type no matter where I type it which is pretty cool. However, when I write in this blog it suddenly doesn't understand contractions... If I'm in a word document or an email, it doesn't yell about contractions at all... strange things are happening.

So it's official... well, several things:

~The RED SOX are going to the division finals~

~I'm registered to vote in Colorado~

~I have a COLORADO license now! (my first one outside of PA)~

~Free pitchers of beer aren't always the blessing they seem~

~Mashed potatoes from the KFC are always good, no matter what~

Hockey season officially starts this week!! Horray!! I'm pretty sure I'm going to get to go to the Av's opener but it's not official yet. Pre-season basketball starts this week so I'm pretty amped at seeing Rocky (the Nugget's mascot) back for more fun filled antics! Oh yeah, and the basketball game or whatever...


I was talking to my mom and dad tonight and was bitching about my job. I think mom finally gets it that it's not just me that hates it there once I told her my boss just quit. Mom says "why don't you just quit?" Don't get me wrong, I love my mom to death, but she doesn't quite understand what it's like now a days only making 18k a year... It doesn't seem to go very far after rent, car, gas, groceries... you know, the things you need on a daily basis. I told her that wouldn't be a very smart idea, she agreed but encouraged me to keep looking... don't worry Ma, I'm looking every single day... every fucking day. It's like a bad habit.

Hey, maybe now that I'm back to blogging I'll bring back weekly cheers and jeers... that'll be fun!! Maybe next time... I'm due for some much needed sleep!

Until next time my friends...
