Hi there! If you've never wandered into the Den before, you just might want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I got home from work tonight and found a Priority Mail package waiting for me at my door. It was a present for the cats. I ordered them some new catnip toys last week from Catzilla Crafts, and I also ordered them a pair of Ham-Micks from Forty Paws.
I need to remember to don protective clothing when there is catnip around. I was attacked by flying furballs with claws the moment I walked through the door with the box. I opened the box and was excited to discover the Ham-Micks inside. So were the cats. They milled around my ankles as I put them together.
It was love. Even Hell On Four Paws liked them. I brought one back into our office, and our youngest cat is crashed out on it right now.
I think we have a winner here. Our girls are so spoiled. I can’t wait to see what happens when the catnip toys arrive!!
Work has been absolute hell this week. On top of all the crap that’s going on…we just found out that one of our favorite customers is undergoing Mesothelioma treatment. He’s having surgery in a couple of days. He came into the shop to pick up a job at the end of last week, and he looked absolutely awful. The only thing I could say to him was that he’d be in my thoughts and that I’d hope to see him again soon.
It’s quite disheartening.
At least today wasn’t as bad as the last two days. The boss and I busted out a ton of stuff. Thankfully, he was out of the office for most of the afternoon, and when he got back from his deliveries, he was so exhausted that he took off early. I had the office to myself, and I spent the rest of my day loading up both copiers with paper as they ran out.
I can only hope that the rest of the week goes as smoothly as today did.
25 minutes until I can leave work. I have physical therapy today, so I’m leaving at 4 PM.
25 more minutes until I can get the hell out of here. 25 more minutes until I can go cry my eyes out in the privacy of my car. I thought yesterday was as bad as it could get.
Boy, was I wrong.
Things have been so bad this week that I was THISCLOSE to snapping about a half an hour ago. I started saying something to the boss as he was having a shit-fit on me, but I snapped my jaw shut and bit my tongue.
I can’t take much more of this.
20 more minutes until I can get the hell out of here…
I often wonder where I would’ve ended up career-wise if I had continued on in school to get my Bachelor’s Degree in business. Would I be suffering through the downturns that we’ve had to deal with here at my shop due to the poor economy? Would my husband and I be a financial mess if I had a better job due to a better degree? Would I have continued on even further in my studies, taking GMAT prep courses in the hopes that I could pass the GMAT to get into an MBA program?
Sometimes I wonder why I did things the way I did. I can’t say that I’m totally dissatisfied with my career choice. Being the manager of a printing company is no small thing, you know?
Bah. I hate it when I’m bored at work. My mind tends to wander off on its own, in directions that I don’t really care to wander.
The moment I walked through the door, I was attacked by all manner of furry creatures. The cats were so glad to see me, and our youngest cat wouldn’t leave my side until I closed the bedroom door in her face for some peace and quiet.
Then I got mauled by a 17 pound ball of fur. I swear that when I leave for any length of time, our middle cat gets even bigger while I’m gone. Hubby must be hiding an hgh supplement in her food or something. Damned if she didn’t bowl me over when I walked into the bedroom!
And now, I need to go grab our youngest cat off of her daddy’s desk before she makes something disappear…
I took a break tonight from writing about diet pills and wondering about diets that work to watch the men’s US Olympic hockey team take on Team Canada. That was one hell of a game, and the US beat Canada 5-3. The US team is playing rather well, and I have to say that I’m surprised, because I really thought that Canada would be the team to beat. Instead, Canada seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, and Martin Brodeur seemed shaky in goal.
Tonight’s win gave Team USA first place in Group A, along with a bye through to Wednesday’s quarterfinals.
Until tonight, the gold medal winning men’s team from 1960 was the last American team to beat Canada in the Olympics.
I’m giddy. It would be so awesome to see Team USA come home with the gold!
Good morning, internet! What a lovely day it is today!
Holy crap, where did all that optimism come from? Probably from the good night’s sleep that I had, and the fact that I’m sitting here in my parents’ kitchen with the delicious smell of sausage and eggs wafting about.
My weight loss is about to be derailed by some eggs over easy, sausage patties, and toast slathered in butter, along with a nice, tall glass of cold orange juice.
After breakfast, Mom and I are headed back out to finish up the shopping that we didn’t get done yesterday. Thankfully, it’s an absolutely beautiful day outside.
Sunshine, here I come!!
Who would want to write about the best weight loss supplement when they have a brand spankin’ new netbook to play with?
“Not I!” said the fly.
I am now the proud owner of a 13.3″ Toshiba Satellite T135 netbook in Nova Red. It is light, pretty fast, and…unlike my laptop…it WORKS. I am a happy camper.
I’ve spent most of the evening since my family and I finished dinner tweaking my new toy. I have a lot of things that I need to do to it before it will be completely the way that I like, but that’s just fine by me. I love playing with new technology toys.
My laptop is now officially my husband’s problem. Well, it will be, once I clean all of my stuff on there and reformat the hard drive with a fresh install of Windows XP.
