Suspended...like in High School?

I was forced on three days of unpaid vacation, from my shitty cubical corporate job. All I can do is sit here feeling sorry for myself, while I wonder how I became such a fuck up. Three minutes....I was exactly three minutes late one day this week and one day last week. In other words, if I would have dragged my lazy butt out of bed 3 minutes earlier I wouldn't be at home having a pity party. I just keep cursing the corporate world, thinking of the last 5 years of my life I gave them, based on tenure alone I should get some sort of a pass right? Then again...
when did I become that person...the employee that blames the company they work for instead of taking responsibility for the issues at hand. When did I become that person that gets called into Human Resources and begins to spout out every excuse in the book as to why I shouldn't be penalized for being late. Honestly....are you kidding me! I didn't become this person...I have always been this person. I have always been the one with the purse full of excuses for everything that could possibly go wrong. I was raised to be independent, and I think I took it to the wrong level. Defend myself in every way possible, even if I know I am wrong. That's how I have always been, and that's how I am today.
The question is...how will I walk into work on Tuesday and face all those fellow employees that have known all along what I am just know figuring out. I deserved to be suspended, in fact I am sure I deserve much worse. The only person to blame for my tardiness is me. So I will sit here on my laptop and type away my pitiful sorrows. How can I take myself seriously! I get three days vacation and all I can do is sit here and feel sorry That's it...I am determined to have a great time with myself...for myself! I am off...to the place where every Women goes on days like these...the Mall.

Admitting the addiction is the first step to recovery

I have been putting off making a decision for a long time now, but this past week I had to finally break down and create my ‘Season Pass’ list. I got out the Entertainment magazine that listed all the shows for fall, and I went to work. Realizing that my DVR was incapable of recording more then 2 shows at one time, I had a dilemma. Do I stick with the shows that I know I love, or take the chance and record new ones? Do I really care about Tyra’s new group of wannabe models, Jeff Probes team of misfits, or Lauren Conrad’s recent drama, or should I spend my time with McDreamy, Jim and Pam, Hiro, and Wisteria Lane? After some major soul searching…I have composed my fall line up.

Sunday: Desperate Housewives
Monday: Heroes
Tuesday: House, Biggest Loser, Nip Tuck
Wednesday: Private Practice, Lost, Americas Next Top Model, Ramsay’s Nightmares
Thursday: Grey’s Anatomy, The Office

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
It should be an amazing season.

You know your not prepared for the Fall when.....

• Your sock drawer is in complete disarray, there is not a matching pair to be found. (I have gotten to the point where I following the golden rule of Out with the Old in with the New)
• All your sweaters have to be washed because they have that musty smell from not being used for months on end.
• You turn on your heater in your car or house and a nasty burning smell wafts through the air for a couple of hours.
• You continue wearing the thin fabric pants thinking you can get away with it, and in a moment of complete desperation you run to the nearest store to buy long johns. The thing is everyone else has already stocked up...so you are left with a bright pink pair that has "Peace Not War" printed all over it.
• The porch light is finally going to get its chance to shine, and as you flip on the switch it flickers and quickly dies.
• Over the summer months your other glove somehow got lost, and you end up wearing one black and one blue.

Rare Occasion

Roommate “You must have a lot of energy today”
Me “why?”
Roommate “Because I haven’t seen you clean the house like this in a long time”

Ok…so I have not only been sick for 2 whole weeks, but I am currently going to school and working full time! Doesn’t this give me a pass on cleaning????

Does anyone have any question?

My sixth grade teacher once told me that there is no dumb questions...just dumb answers. Well Mr. Teacher I am here to prove you wrong.

So here is the problem I was given in Pharmacology.

You have 500ml of fluid that needs to be filled with 2 different types of medication. This can be solved by a simple solution. Volume 1/Volume 2=Solution 1/Solution 2. Makes sense right??? Not to me it doesn't...who in heavens name came up with this bullshit.

Anyhow, it took me close to 2 hours to actually understand the formula enough to come up with one of the drug amounts. The one drug I figured out turned out to be 25ml. This is where my stupidity steps in and rears its ugly pus filled head. So I raise my hand in front of a class of 25 students and say "I cant seem to come up with the amount of the other drug, could you help me?" Complete silence filled the room, followed by quiet snickering coming from the back row. "Well Tristan my Professor says to me...If you have one of the drug amounts it is very easy to get the other one. All you have to do is take 500ml and subtract the 25ml drug that you already got. So the other drug would me 475ml right?"

I could feel my face getting hotter and hotter, and knowing that my skin was the rosiest color of red anyone has ever seen, I lowered my head and thanked the Professor for her help. To think that the answer was as simple as subtracting.....

I don't know if I will ever be able to show my face in Pharmacology again. I am completely mortified!!! Math has never been my strong suit, but I was a complete idiot.
All I can do is hope that everyone has moments of complete insanity, and just in case I am the only one with these moments...I have listed some very good reasons as to why this event happened:

1. Aunt Flow from the Red Sea decided to come and visit...and she is giving me a hell of a bad time.
2. I was just diagnosed with a sinus infection, and the antibiotics are causing some weird side affects.
3. During the last week my sleep has been limited to about 4 hours a night, do to my significant others snoring habit. (sleep deprivation has been known to cause hallucinations)
4. My class happened to take place on my Nephews birthday, and I was going through a deep depression for missing his party. (depression is a serious disease, and it is not to be taken lightly)

Scum

Without my contacts in I am considered legally blind. This of coarse posses many problems in my life, and I recently discovered a very disgusting one. Every morning I wake up and shower without my contacts in. I feel that it gives me time to adjust to being awake, before I actually see the world around me. This morning as I was blindly reaching for my shampoo I saw a pink blur on the shower floor, I ignored it, thinking that once I put in my contacts I would see exactly what it was. On a side note...I never look in my shower when I am not actually taking a shower, and since my shower is enclosed in a box of frosted glass I cannot see inside unless I actually take the time to open the door. Any how, back to this morning...as I put in my contacts and opened the shower door I was appalled at what I saw. Pink everywhere!!!! Some of you avid cleaners may not know soap scum turns pink if it is left alone too long. I was mortified and appalled at the site of it. I don't know what bothered me more...the fact that I had been showering in a nasty scum filled shower for so long, or the fact that my 20/20 vision significant other didn't seem to mind. Needless to say after I told him of the predicament he reminded me that it was my turn to clean it. So I broke out the bottle of the happy faced scrubbing bubbles and went to work, and my shower is now back to a beautiful white. Problem solved. For now.

S Sassy....I am one of the most sarcastic people you will ever meet!
