Sorry I missed a post yesterday. I stayed home from work in the morning because I wasn't feeling great, and then took the rest of the day to mourn (for obvious reasons).

But, it's a new day, the sun is up, and there are things to do and people to help.


I will love when people hate me
I won't hush, no you can't make me
I won't hush, no we will sing

Day 14: Something New - My apartment. We are the first people to live in our unit, and I am thankful that it's got all new fixtures and appliances, that it's so well insulated and that it's ecofriendly (solar hot water and solar PV on the car canopy). It's the nicest place we've ever lived, even if it is a bit small.

Day 15: Experience - I've been blessed with so many great experiences in my life. Top three to be thankful for are my wedding, our trip to Scotland, and my time working at a house cleaning company in NC.

Day 16: Recipe - I have a good answer for this one, because I've been making it a lot lately. I am thankful for the artichoke dip recipe that my mother found... somewhere and taught to me. It has three ingredients, two steps (mix and bake), and I have never brought it anywhere and had any left to take home. It's quick, easy, always a big hit, and I love it because cooking is not my strong suit.
Hello everyone! I am posting this from my parents' living room, because they have internet and I still don't. I just wanted to say a few things.

1. Obviously I am wicked behind on reading and updating, so I think, for the foreseeable future, that the daily posting schedule is going out the window. I was kind of starting to feel burnt out with that anyway, and running out of things to say. Not that I'm abandoning y'all or anything, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of new work stories here shortly, but I just thought you should be aware of the schedule change.

2. I also think I'm going to stop with the song quote titles on a regular basis. This is honestly because I don't think anyone really cares anymore, including me. But, by all means, if anyone feels strongly that they want me to keep going I could probably manage.

3. I have learned SO MUCH at this job in just a week, and it's awesome. For instance, on Friday I learned that the head of my department is a gymnastics coach on the side, and he did a backflip in the office for us. I promise I've learned environmental stuff too though. :D

4. I'm not quite mature enough for this office environment. Someone said that multi-family housing was an area in which we needed 'deeper penetration' and I started to giggle, then realized that no one else was laughing. I guess 'that's what she said' isn't a popular joke around here. It's not a super serious place, but it's a lot more professional than where I worked in NC.

5. During HR orientation, when the guy was listing off all the things that could be considered sexual harassment, I had to concentrate really hard on not laughing because we used to do EVERY SINGLE ONE of them at my last job on a regular basis. Especially discussing people's sexual prowess.



Everyone hope that I get internet installed soon!

My dream job? I want a job where I feel like I'm making a difference, no matter how small, and helping people in some way. And it would be nice to teach/work with kids... but not as a full-time part of the job. I would like to make a little more money than I do now, and also benefits would be sweet. A job that has something to do with my degrees would obviously be a bonus as well. :)

Also, HAPPY MOLE DAY!

And finally, this:
Me: Poor Smaug. He just wanted to sleep in his cave and be left alone, and then those stupid dwarves came and killed him.
Andrew: Yeah, the cave which he killed thousands of dwarves to get.
Me: Well, dragons have to have caves! Do you expect him to live on the street?
Andrew: He could have found another cave, that wasn't populated by dwarves!
Me: How do you know they didn't take that cave from a dragon in the first place?

It's been... somewhere around fifteen years since I read The Hobbit, but the part that stuck with me the most was that I was annoyed as FUCK by those stupid dwarves, and I really liked the dragon and just wanted him to barbeque and eat them all.



Answer to last Wednesday's song: My Unfortunate Erection, from 25th Annual Spelling Bee. No one guessed this, which is really a shame. How could I resist quoting a song about erections when we were discussing 50 Shades?
Look everyone, I finally got a PR icon! Rejoice!

Time for duct tape prom! )

Since I'm working longer hours now, I probably won't be able to update this post with pictures until tomorrow night. So look for that then!


Answer to last Thursday's song: Mama I'm a Big Girl Now, from Hairspray.


Now with pictures! Also, This is possibly the best PR picture I've ever seen. LOL FOREVER.
