well... i actually want to sleep at 10!
i it's taking me a lot of time to get used to working. things don't seem to be looking up anytime soon... my sprained wrist will take 6 weeks to heal (no weights/biking/shooting/pushups/opening bottles/etc for me) and i'm just so cranky all the time. i really feel like as soon as i get home i have to sleep then go to work again. work isn't bad though, it's just really time consuming and the commute is 40 min one way w/o traffic. the plus is i love my toys at work and even though it's not really a career, i like the work i do. i wish i had a job like this in college. too bad it's not a career type job... just a first step not in the software direction. hehehe... shani t here i come! ;)
i gave blood today and the person meeting with me beforehand was really nice. you know the whole schmeal, the finger prick, drop of blood slowly sinking its way down the light blue liquid (copper something)... my fat drop almost didn't make it. it hovered midway for too long... i only had 3 seconds before she denied me for lack of iron. anyhoo, the nurse did tattoos too and had a rose on the webbing of her right hand. joanne i think her name was... funny. we talked about america's top model where some girl slept in and those biznatches didn't bother to wake her. i dont' think i want a tattoo... to permanent... although, the idea of body art is very appealing to me... i just want someone to do airbrush on me like in that top model show.. then it could change from time to time... as usual they tell me i've got "large vessels" so the i don't have to try too hard to get the blood pumping.
well at the after-donating table with tons of cookies and goodies (side note: ohhhh, they ran out of rice krispies treats... how i crave, how i crave! hehehehe) and some lady in front of me needed a ride to a nearby buliding so i volunteered... right off the bat... from the drive center to the car i find out she was sued for sexual harassment, ongoing for two years.... in the car i learn more... she didn't touch him, he's kinda of handsome, 5 years younger than her, he complained about whether to take creatine or not and she thought it was save to tell him he's a "studmuffin". done. sued. but i must say... soemehing was really off with her. from the short two block drive i get uncomfortable twice... the first instance i forget. the second was me trying to downplay mr harasment's case by saying we all go to the gym... suddenly she wants to be my best friend... "when do you go to the gym? what time do you get off work? " have you seen the family guy episode in the courthouse where peter griffith gets convicted and one by one everyone screams "OH NO!" "OH NO!" "OH NO!"... then the kool-aid man busts through the wall and says "OH YEAH!"... well.. i was the kool-aid pitcher backing up with my palms up facing her.... yeah... something weird about her...
oh yeah.. after giving blood around noon i went jogging at night.. the nurse said it'd be alright... just don't tell the other nurse she said that... hehehe... i was such a zombie after i was only going 60 mph instead of my usual 80 for the entire 34 miles.
oh and today after desperately trying to "flex" time by not taking a real lunch hour and coming in early/ staying late, i find out that what one of my superiors told me isnt' exactly right. he told me to flex my hours. nothing about comp time. nothing about personal time. i was pissed. not only was it a legit dr appointment, there's also a 2 hour meeting on my freakin off day. does everyone get OT except me. shieeet. anyhoo... all is good now. no more trying to fit in 10 hour days with the 40-50 minute commute eachway.
my "comfort" things are buying toys. who woulda known? simpsons, lotr, star wars, akira, etc.... hehehe, chocolate? i carve sweet fruit. mango anybody?
even though i complain of no friends here... i did hang out with csilla last friday... crepes, ben and jerry's brownie batter, and ever after... fun fun fun...
hmmm, haven't had boba for awhiles.... or called rich. :) will do.
