  • My Friday’s too Friday-licious for you, babe.


    Some people slack at work on a regular basis and that’s fine. Who am I to say that stopping every half hour for a gossip, a Starbucks, or a lipstick retouch isn’t fueling some underlying mental process? As long as a project gets done, jimmy crack corn and I don’t care how you do it. I just happen to be the type of person who likes to be a hop and a skip ahead of the game; procrastination and waste make me panic. Plus, I’m already squeezing every last drop out of a day when I abscond thrice daily to my pumping room to eek out Lila’s food for the following day, so I really don’t have two minutes and thirty four seconds to sit around and watch your hilarious YouTube video of a cat playing with an iPad; I’ve got a budget to reforecast.

    Today, though, is different.

    I took an actual lunch break today instead of eating salad at my desk for the millionth day in a row. I strolled in the sunny sunshine. I bought a sassy $10 pencil skirt from H&M. I ate a cup of chicken chili. I flirted with the idea of indulging in a chocolate milkshake but decided that fitting into my new skirt was more important. For the first time in a long, long time: I enjoyed a complete hour to myself, doing frivolous things. Miraculous things. And I loved it.

     The bad thing about breaking my workflow is that my workflow is broken: it don’t flow no more. I’m technically waiting on info for one thing before I can finish my current project, but I could be prepping future projects, organizing my desk, cleaning out my emails, researching the newest/hippest thing to wow and amaze my boss with.

    But it’s Friday. And I’m feeling Friday-licious. Sure, I’m overworked, underpaid, and exhausted from the relentless responsibility of being a good girl. And yes I did simultaneously sprout  my first gray hair and varicose vein this month. But I’ve got a sunny day, a fresh weekend, and a brand new skirt. And I’ll be damned if I don’t look pretty hot in it.

  • hahahaha. my friday is going. I’m tracking down doctors to sign things…funny thing is doctors don’t like to sign jack. then from here I’m actually rushing to the museum to work there for the night. it is going to be a super long day.

    I’m glad you took some time for yourself today. it’s stunning outside. :)

  • Too bad Friday turned into a cold weekend.

    And that was a really cute video of the cat with the iPad, you have to admit! Now they have one with a dog and he’s totallystupid with it. Has no idea what to do and then he gets angry with it and starts barking. I don’t know what it says about dogs and cats, but they explore things differently. I’m not ready to say that one is smarter than the other.
    And, I’m quitting Xanga. I haven’t made the official announcement yet. Technorati/Blogcritics offered me a job and it looks like they will offer me more in the near future. Payment involves ads (nuts, I know) and Xanga won’t allow ads. So I’m going to go to (barf, barf, barf) Blogspot for a while until I can put up my new Web site, which will have my real new blog. 
    I promise to keep you posted. I will not leave any of my xanga buds. But boy, it degraded something fierce over here. Butt jokes and whiney, poor me entries. Yours and Boo and Nat are interesting and so is Thinlizzie, but God the rest are such crap. 
    You go, girl with that Friday attitude right into this week. Glad you can be okay about the gray hair. I shrieked and pulled it right out. To this day I dye, dye, dye, That shit ain’t seein’ the light of day.Somethings don’t bother me,but gray hair does!
