Time	Event
11:10a	Work?! Blah! I can't believe I'm at work. It's totally lame even though I'm not doing anything. Boo. So what's new? I spent yesterday getting over a hang over. No fun. We also wrecked our car. We're both fine, but the car...is not. Basically, it was icy, and we slid into a divider and did a lot of front end damage..basically to the grill. The airbags didn't even deploy, and the car is still driveable, but because it's older (2000), they won't fix your car if the damage amounts to 50% of the car's value, which is about 8k. Unfortunately, 4k worth of damage is like...nothing, so they're totalling it, which sucks because now we have to get a new car, and we really liked the old one. I'm not complaining too much though because obviously the most important thing is that no one was hurt. My mom's dog, Bonnie, is really sick. She slipped a disk before Christmas, and it left her paralyzed from the waist down, so she got surgery to fix it and restore mobility. The surgery went great, but afterwards she wasn't drinking water, so my mom took her back to the vet to get iv fluids to rehydrate her. Now her kidneys appear to be failing, and she's in the hospital and her condition is deteriorating. I don't think she's going to make it. :- ( I love Bonnie, and this sucks! I'm sure she's so scared in that hospital. Plus she's blind, so it has to be even scarier. Of course my mom is totally beside herself, and I'm pretty upset too. On a more positive note....What else? I got a bunch of cute clothes and a purse from my parents. We got some dvds, a new dvd player and a new microwave (ours were broken), and a bunch of other stuff. I got some cute shirts and new earrings from D. My main present of course was Mugs. Work. Blah. I'm so ready to go home already. Weight-wise I'm pretty much the same. The holidays got me, and I don't think I've really lost. Hopefully I'll get to do pilates today. (1 thought | share your thoughts)
11:32a	more updates for no real reason. Work is lame! I can't believe I'm here. I want to go home. I haven't been to work since....December 14th. I know vacation is supposed to motivate employees to work, but it doesn't work that way for me. Vacation just makes me want to stay home more. I would rather be home, playing with my dog, doing nothing, and talking to D. I guess I'm just lazy or disinterested? Honestly, it's probably better for me to be at work because I'm better when I have a regular routine I guess. When I have tons of free time, I tend to waste it because there's no pressure to get anything done because I have so much time. I don't suppose that makes any sense whatsoever. I don't think I've had more than a liter of water a day since I've been out, and I've just been...at home. I'm really nervous about this new job. Cheryl is out until July, so it's one. It's me. It's done. I'm left to run a 600 bill committee during a transition year, and I'm nervous. Really nervous. Every time I think about it, I freak out. Seriously, a feeling of almost unstoppable panic rises in my chest everytime I think about it, and I have to focus as much as I can to push that feeling away. I'm nervous because I don't feel like my old job trained me for the new one because none of the duties are the same. My new committee assistant will do all the stuff I used to do. During committee meetings, I have to know everything about every bill in order to defend the bill at meetings, and if the bill makes it to the floor, I have defend it there too. N.E.R.V.O.U.S. The money is key, and not having as much micromanagement will be key, and having a change in my duties will be a great change of pace, but man, am I nervous. I really am. I hope I'm up to it. All I can think is that I must be up to it, or they wouldn't have pulled so many strings to keep me, but at the same time, that's just more pressure....that's just more to live up to. Plus, as much as I rag on Cheryl, she's really good at her job, which just makes it harder. I'm really worried about Bonnie, and I'm really annoyed about the car. BOO! I only have about 50 pages left of Atlas Shrugged..talk about an awesome book. Next on the reading list: Harry Potter 3. After reading 1984 and Atlas Shrugged I need a nice, light read. Current Mood: calm Current Music: at the bottom of everything, bright eyes (2 thoughts | share your thoughts)
