Some peoples kids....

My boss is the WORST. I know. Everyone thinks there boss is the worst, but mine really IS. She's a horrible person in general. A horrible human being, horrible boss, her kid seems to take after her to a tee so she must have shit the bed in the parenting department. and now we have factioal proof she's a horrible daughter and human being again. Melissa, you might not want to read the next part because if anyone will be floored with this I know it'll be you.

My boss has had a trip to Egypt planned FOREVER! Maybe it seems like forever to me because she's always flashing it under our noses. she's just that nice. Well Her mother who she tossed into a nursing home maybe 6 months ago isn't doing so well. Her health has been going down hill for awhile. My boss stops by my desk the other day to inform me that she will be at one of the local funeral homes handling the pre-planning in case her mom dies while she's on her trip. she told me they handled everything and if she passes while she's away they will be able to take care of everything and she doesn't mind missing the funeral and services.

She left TODAY for Egypt. TODAY. Planned her funeral yesterday, the women is still a live, but apparently close enough to passing that they planned the funeral and she LEFT. I understand it's a non refundable trip. But it's YOUR MOTHER. and I'm positive this time with her is NON-REFUNDABLE! she is the WORST person EVER. EVER! and it was the way she shrugged it off like it was no big deal if she wasn't around for the funeral, like it was just another day. she's the WORST!

Insane much?

Due to my lack of creativity I'm posting an email forward I received today at work. I know. I know. but it's really funny. and I made my comments in the black text. You'll see I'm not very creative today!

To Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity

1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down. ~This might get you in trouble....with the fun police.
2. Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don't Disguise Your Voice! ~ I really want to do this next time a customer comes in for me.
3. Every Time Someone Asks You To Do Something, ask If They Want Fries with that. ~or a shake
4. Put Decaf In The Coffee Maker For 3 Weeks . Once Everyone has Gotten Over Their Caffeine Addictions, Switch to Espresso. ~I don't care about this one
5. In the Memo Field Of All Your Checks, Write ' For Marijuana.' ~On my rent check that would be so funny
6. Skip down the hall Rather Than Walk and see how many looks you get. ~They already give me looks
7. Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face. ~ I will be doing this the next time we go out to lunch
8. Specify That Your Drive-through Order Is 'To Go'. ~ A large shake....to go please.
9. Sing Along At The Opera. ~ pass
10. Five Days In Advance, Tell Your Friends You Can't Attend Their Party Because You have a headache. ~ While listening to really loud music
11. When The Money Comes Out The ATM, Scream 'I Won! I Won!' ~ I do that when the change machine gives me $5 in quarters. that and beat up kids at the arcade.
12. When Leaving the Zoo, Start Running towards the Parking lot, Yelling 'Run For Your Lives! They're Loose!' ~ that would be a RIOT
13. Tell Your Children Over Dinner, 'Due To The Economy, We Are Going To Have To Let One Of You Go.' ~ Then have them fight to the death
And The Final Way To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity
14. PICK UP A BOX OF CONDOMS AT THE PHARMACY, GO TO THE COUNTER AND ASK WHERE THE FITTING ROOM IS. ~AWKWARD!

Luck of the decorations

Well it's that time again. What time you ask?? TOOL TIME! Oh, sorry, that wasn't the right answer. I watched a lot of Home Improvement reruns while on my funlough. It's time to decorate our office space for the next holiday. ST. PATRICK'S DAY! So here are a few shots of what we did this afternoon before the massive flow of obits came in.

Here are the filing cabinet we just moved up front. Sharon thought my concern for how they would affect our decorating was "silly" but as you see they provided us with even more area to decorate.

This is our "four leaf clover barb wire" between our desks. It's CRAZY scary!And here you will find the end cap where we worked around Wendy's paper clovers. ahh We are so awesome.

So that's what i did before the obituaries started piling in. Who meets with families with 8 inches of snow on the ground? Funeral directors hoping to drum up more business, that's who. The nerve of some people.

Also i forgot I wanted to mention how great was Brothers & sisters last night??!!! WOW! Even though I'm POSITIVE they said there would be a death?? Whats up with that (network it's on)!? WOW. I hate Holly, she's such a bitch. GO Tommy I'm rooting for you even if no one else is. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I sure hope Robert wises up, I would hat to see Kitty kick him to the curb, what with the new baby and all. Something tells me birth mom might be back in the picture, she was acting very unsure of herself afterwards. And i don't trust this Ryan kid AT ALL. He looks like trouble! Any of you guys watch Brothers & Sisters?

March? Really? You don't say.

It's March? Right? I'm not looking at the wrong calender am I? March? hum. Could have fooled me. Here's why?

This is what I woke up to find today, on this glorious March morning. I know it snows in March, but come on. This is the most snow we saw all winter. And in case you don't know I HATE snow. After you get out of high school snow has no real benefit for you. My job doesn't close down. WE (by we I mean not me) pride ourselves on publishing 365 days a year. Now It might not get delivered but it was printed. So lucky me, into work i go. Oh Joy!

I'm waiting not so patiently for my apron to come in the mail. I'm SOOOO excited. As soon as I get it I'll snap a few pictures of me in it and plaster them up on this blog.

Anywho, that's whats new with me. I couldn't sleep last night at all. Kitty kept me up on the phone until almost 2 o'clock and i couldn't fall a sleep after that. I'm so tired.

I'm BACK!!!!

Wow looks like I should go away more often. My follows have doubled during my furlough (which is now over). So I'm back. You'll be getting daily (most of the time) blogs from em once again. I would like to say I have so much to tell you all, after my sabbatical. But I don't. It was a pretty boring week off. No big events, no planned trips, not even very much interaction with PEOPLE, since most people work during the week. Just a lot of TV, shopping, and eating. I swear. I must have gained a metric ton. I ate a lot of eggs. I don't even like eggs. And they made me sick. But just the one day.

So here's something I've wanted to blog about for a long time. TOP CHEF. I love Top Chef. I've watched it from season 1. I heart Tom. Anywho. I was really pulling for Carla this season she was just so spirited. To bad. But there was something i noticed a while back that I wanted to share but kept forgetting. *Please remember I love Carla* But when she would wear her hair up i couldn't help but think she loved like Red from Fragle Rock.

Ahh Fragle Rock. Now that was quality TV for children. If you need a reminder or a stroll down memory lane swing by cake wrecks she spotlighted a fragle rock cake today. I love RED and CARLA.

I had dinner with Preggers last night. We hit up Applebees near the outlets and chowed down on buffalo wings, and everything deep fried. Yumm-a-roo.

Well I'm back to work now, oh joy. I do have to say that my Furlough/funlough was boring. I don't know if i could stay at home all the time, unless I had kids or was rich. Just me sitting at home is well. Boring. If i as rich at least I could be out shopping and spending money and filling my empty life with awesome shit. right? Or if I had kids I would be busy caring for them and doing all that jazz. But since it's just me, alone in a house. BORING. I need that interaction with other people. Even my crazy customers and annoying funeral directors. Ahh How I've missed them. I'm sure when i get out of here tonight I wont be missing them anymore. LOL. ahh life. Good times.

I would like to say welcome and thanks for stopping by. I hope if nothing else you find some amusement in my blog. It's here to act as therapy for me and entertainment for others. Mirrors my real life :) So Welcome! And to everyone swing by and send some LOVE Amy's way, as she and her daughters are awaiting the return of her husband from Iraq. His flight was canceled and now it's just another waiting game. Send some love! To her, her daughters and her husband for all they have sacrificed for others. :)

While out looking for fun things I stumbled upon this. It seems Summer is hosting a give-a-way for Dee's Deezigns. I found the shop first and the blog second. Both are very cool. I was looking at aprons, which gave way to baby stuff (as you are all aware of my baby stuff OBSESSION now. I am not baby obsessed I'm obsessed with buying baby stuff for my 3 pregnant friends. YES 3. So I started looking for cool diaper bags and this is what I found. How flipping cute is that. Who needs overpriced Vera Bradley when you can find awesome handmade things like this. I love this tote/diaper bag and want it. Then I read that their giving away make bags on a few blogs. Well You know me I'm a lover of give-a-ways so why not try my luck. You guys should also. But if your in the market for some really great bags that are AFFORDABLE I highly suggest taking a look at Dee's DeeZigns
