Just let it all out

Mama Loco

It's that time again, the time when I get to tell you about my pet peeves for this week... whether you want to hear it or not!! Check out Mama-Loco, it's her baby that she let's us play with too! Let's begin!

~I am so sick of people asking me if I found a job yet as the first thing out of their mouths when they see me. I know I'm unemployed and my life is boring, HOWEVER, the first thing that I want to think about is most certainly NOT that I STILL don't have a job. Thanks.
~Commercials for lawyers who will "get you the money you deserve!" They are so obnoxious and are the reason that my car insurance keeps going up. If you keep suing them for way more money than you deserve you fuck everyone over in the end.
~My roommates! A pet peeve list wouldn't be complete without them. Last night I told them I was sick and heading to bed (it WAS almost 11pm anyway) and asked if they could turn down the music. While that was met with some static, they agreed. I went and laid down but the music didn't go down at all. After a while I got back up and asked again. Here's where Douchebag really pissed me off, he told me he would turn it down but they were planning on getting a little rowdy tonight. I told him that it's a Monday night, I'm sick and if they wake me up I'll be pissed. He told me, "that's fucked up girl". Well, that's how it's gonna be. For the next half hour or so I heard a lot of banging around (in an involuntary way) and door slamming and I think one of the ass holes fell down the stairs. My door was already locked when they banged on my door thank god. I was about 2 minutes from calling the cops on them. Why can't I get some normal people to live here??
~People who don't tip well. I went to see my friend who's a bartender last night and as I was sitting at the bar a guy came in and had 2 beers and left. The "tip" he left was 36 cents. I think that's so tacky. I know that bartending isn't rocket science, but she did pour you a beer and bring it to you so that you didn't have to do it yourself in the comfort of your own home. It's your choice to come into the bar, unfortunatly she doesn't have a choice to serve you or not.

There you have it! I was a bit long winded this week... I think becuase I haven't blogged since last time I had to let it all out. I'll be back with more tales from unemployment soon! hahaha!

*sigh*

I know I haven't blogged in a while, but to tell ya the truth, my life is REALLY boring lately! This is pretty much how my day goes:

Wake up
Get dressed for the gym
Eat breakfast
Go to gym
Run errands (if I have any)
Go home
Eat lunch
Get online to job search
Job search
Job search
Job search
Eat Dinner
Job search
Watch a movie
Fall asleep while watching movie

See why I haven't written lately? Who wants to read that? Some of my monotony has been broken up by trips to Old C's (usually Tuesdays and Thursdays) and seeing some other friends as well. However, on the whole, I'm not too much fun to be around these days.

We did finally nail down my parent's plans to come out here for the Bolder Boulder and my dad and I officially registered yesterday! That is exciting. The race is on Memorial Day (Monday) and they are coming out Friday and leaving Tuesday. I'm very very excited, and nervous.

I would do an edition of "Not Me Monday" but it really wouldn't be that fun, so I'm leaving you with this... and that'll have to do.

Welcome to the Asylum

I write this entry assuming that you read my entry about what a crazy week was in store for me last week. Well, as I embark on a new week, I find it necessary to vent a bit, and in general, unwind. Bare with me as I ramble into oblivion. Not to worry, I only have about 30 minutes until my sleeping pill kicks in... then it's lights out.

I think we are all caught up through Thursday when I had my interview with a robot. Thursday night, however, I went to play trivia at Old C's and with the help of Carlito, I came in second... slash third. If you need and explaintion of how this happens, check out the trivia blog from that night. There's a wonderful (NOT!) picture of me with Carlito and how the night went down.

Friday was pretty standard wackiness at OS. Giggles and I routinely lose our minds on Friday and it's pretty much just a big game of who loses it first and who loses it worst. In the end we always end up pretty even by annoying our co-workers to the "nth" degree. We got a smattering of snow which caused everyone to forget the basics of driving 101 on the wonderful ride back to the subburbs which pretty much explains the life of a city commuter. Friday night I hung out at Old C's with my favorite bartenders again after I was dissed by some other friends.

Saturday was a workshop at the OS and so I had to get up early and work. Overtime is great and all, but it messed up the chi of the day!! After work I decided to go to the market and on the way stopped by to check out the 24Hour Fitness near me. After a tour and explanation of prices, I decided to join. I'm going in tomorrow after work to sign the paperwork and get my membership card. :) I've also found out that my parents are almost definitely coming out for Memorial day to see me and so that my dad and I can do the Bolder Boulder together!! YAY!! I eventually did get to the market and home where I made a wonderfully low fat dinner. I had just enough time to check my email and make a phone call before I had to head off to the church I design lights for for a meeting with the director of the service. I can't even tell you how great it was to finally have some one on one time with her without all the other committee members telling me their opinions. In short, I don't give a damn about what those other people want to see done!! It's between me and the director. Besides, you, my dear, have shitty taste!

Today was spent (and I do mean ALL of today) at Comcast Media Center in Centennial watching a taping of Food Network Challenge. This one was really different, and I would tell you all about it except I had to sign a non-disclosure waver saying that I wouldn't tell what went on during the taping and that if I did FNC had the right to come break my kneecaps.. I couldn't take pictures and there were only 50 people allowed to come. Last time I went there was no guest list, anyone could come and go as they please, you could take pictures, and there was no waver. I was pretty upset about the picture thing. I'll blog more about it after the show airs the third week of April. The other taping I went to is called Chocolate Masterpeices and is showing during chocolate week in February (around Valentine's day). I got to the studio at 7:45am and left at 7:30pm. Crazy!! About the show, all I can say is that Food Network may have taken this a little too seriously and I think that's a damn shame.

A full weekend but fun and I got some good stuff done. I'm getting a little heavy lidded... guess I've been typing for about 3o minutes, eh?

I did fail to mention that on Wednesday night I traveled down south to Courtney and Matt's who so graciously invited me to come watch the LOST season premier. Though it's a bit of a drive for me, it was a lot of fun!! Until Joe came in through the balcony door (she's on the 2nd floor by the way) and scared the ever loving Jesus out of me...

Until next time....

Back to blogging...

So Amy has a blog now outside of Myspace. I had a xanga back in the day, then she got one which we both stopped using. Then Amy started blogging on myspace, but I didn't like doing that so I didn't. Well now she got a real blog so now I need to jump on this bandwagon... I mean really, Amy is so cool, how could I NOT copy her every move?? I love you, please don't hurt me...

I'm kinda hung over today, about to take a nap actually. Steph and I went to the last pre-season Av's game last night. They lost a horrible loss to the Blackhawks 3-7 but it was fun and there were 2 really good fights. Let's face it, the only reason anyone watches hockey is for the fights. After the game Steph had to go home because she had to work in the morning, but I, being the night owl that I am, and being that it was only 9:30pm went to Old Chicago's for some beers. I had a good time hanging out with the other Old C crew who I am getting to know since I tend to frequent the Grant St. location pretty often. Had 3 beers, watched the end of the BoSox game and then went to head home. Let me tell ya, those 3 beers must have been magic becuase I NEVER feel drunk after just 3 beers but let me just say I probably shouldn't have driven home last night. Oh well, noone got hurt (except my liver) and all is well.

Got up and went to the bike aution this morning with Ben. It was pretty fun and Ben bought 2 bikes. I wanted this cool black and pink bike with flames but it sold for over $200.... I can't even pay my bills, and a $200 bike wasn't going to fix that so off it went to someone else.

Alright, well here's to keeping the blog spirit going! Chao!
