Dress revisited

On a funny note... I found my dress from Fiona's wedding in the teen catalog Alloy. it was about $20 less than I paid for it too. HA!

Craptastic I tell ya

Work was 100% stupid...

Back in April I was informed by two departments that a Unit had reached it's second phase... I set up the new phase and notify the accountant (who had been riding me...) that it was done.

Jump to this morning where I get a scathing email for some guy in KS I've never heard of telling me I've made a HUGE mistake blah blah blah... the Unit most certainly has NOT changed phase.

The stupid accountant probably doesn't think he needs to do anything, but nope I'm sending a nasty and curt email in the morining giving him until the 18th to reverse and rebook 'cause I'm killing the cost center on the 18th. it can be reactivated when/if the stupid thing reaches the next phase.

*growl*

Vacation, where are you?

Every day should be vacation. And every vacation should have a day you hold a koala.

This is an old picture from our trip to Australia after we got engaged. We used it at our wedding, but I think that was the shot of me holding the little guy.

Next weekend is a mini-break with a road trip to San Antonio. At least I won't be in the office... even if there is no chance of holding a koala.

End of August we're heading to Fiji for two weeks. JP's sister wanted to go for her 40th and it's not such a long trip for them. We're meeting up with another couple and JP's mom.

Should be interesting with so many people, but if you agree to break up and meet up through out the two weeks I don't see what the big deal is. They do have a day trip of going down a river which I HAVE to go on. This is a once in a life time trip and I'm not leaving with regrets of things not done.

I'm worried that because I'm trying to get so much done that I'm making really stupid mistakes. This will blow up in my face sooner or later as it always catches up to you. *sigh*

Yesterday we went to Yum Yum Cha in the Village for lunch. EXCELLENT! I don't know the last time I had dim sum. The food was so fresh and just delish. My mouth waters if I think about it for too long. Oh yes, I will be heading back. Pain to deal with Village parking but so worth it. so so worth it.

Friday night I have tickets to this summer's Chill Series play. It'll be my last night out with my friends until August. Too many visitors... but that's okay it'll be fun. Not looking forward to having to get up super early the next morning to take the car in, but what can you do.

Just wait for vacation...

Anything you can do?!?!

Isn't it nice when a co-worker who generates tons of work for you suddenly wants to know what they can do to help... uh... how about you answer these questions and deal with all the research it generates.

*growl*

I will not get stressed out today...

I will just do what I can and what I can't get to will wait another day.

My cousin baby boy arrived yesterday. Got the picture already this morning. Cute little guy. So many new babies in the last couple of weeks.

These are the last few days until visitors arrive. So, I'm going to sushi happy hour with my friend. I'll be unable to go again for some time. I think we're going to see Wanted as well.

Better get back to my set ups and research research research... ugh

*twitch twitch*

For some time now my left eye has been twitching every so slighly... usually while I'm at work.

Today my right has started to twitch and it's not slight at all...


not.good.

So very very tired....

Brain is fuzzy... very tired... that tired that only comes from that time of the month...

I might have to nap on my lunch hour...

Bunches to get through today of course. The usual crap with these "Alternative Tract Units." GRRRR.... and some one has decided that we have a larger interest on the lastest one. Love that. We no longer have "Operations" Landmen... they are Negotiators and they don't have any idea how to work with title... or they're choosing not to.

My title should be changed to Fetch Monkey.

Don't want to have to call but I will. He called twice yesterday about yet another thing that I have to research. Some guy doesn't know how he got his interest or something. Big surprise.

I had thought about going to Stone Mill for bread... bread or sleep... what will be my choice.

What can you do...

It's back to work after a longish holiday weekend. I was up in Wisconsin visiting my sister's family. And my husband managed to get there too. For once, flight scheduling worked in our favor.

So far it has been a miserable day in the office. Everyone is grouchy (including me) and there isn't a long vacation coming up in the next few weeks either.

JP decided officially that we'd have our yearly BBQ over the weekend. Remembering how horrible he is about telling me anything that's important when these sorts of events are coming I followed with my own email asking everyone to ignore him and respond to me if they were coming. Especially if they actually want to be fed.

We're keeping it super simple. Burgers (a few veggie ones) and hot dogs. That's it for meat. Nothing else. I'll make a few dips and a couple of salads plus fixing and we're done.

Of course no matter how simple I try to make it, I'll end up running all over the place and not enjoy much if any of the evening.
