Sushi and wine have to be the best combination in the world- especially after a stressful week of stuffing envelopes and getting yelled at about "duplicates" and people not doing their job, and blah blah blah...speaking of which, apparently I need an attitude adjustment.
It seems the boys are starting to complain about my response to being given work - I'm being told I grunt, say something smart-ass, or whatever. It's true - and it's not intentional - and I think it's a response to not having a break at all this summer, and the fact that the people giving the work are generally sitting on their ass doing nothing while I'm doing 3 things at once. Maybe I'm just negative and having an "ego-trip" like I'm being told. I don't know. In any case, I suppose I should work on that if I want to keep my job - right? Cause the only way you can keep your job is if people like working with you...regardless of the quality of work you put out in the first place. This is very odd to me, because generally I don't have a problem with people since I'm usually pleasant and all that. Maybe I've just gone hateful.
Also, we're in the middle of the whole political fundraiser going on next weekend (what's sad is I didn't put his name so my page couldn't be googled - which is in the dictionary btw)and finally managed to get the invitations out - all 1,100 of them! Yayyy!!! I'm halfway excited about it, and I'm halfway tired - but all in all I think it's a good experience and probably better than the 8 weeks I spent studying for finals that I probably did mediocre on. :)
Another awesome thing is I managed to get in touch with a couple of friends from high school within the last week - and that excites me so much! I've missed them, and I'd like to see them again. By a couple, I mean 4 - including my hs boyfriend and his wife, who were both best friends of mine in school. I hope I get to see them soon - it would be kind of nice to remind myself of where I come from.
School in 2 weeks again! Ack!

I hit six squirrels, five windshields, and 4 birds! I'm awesome!
Alright so it's time for my first bi-weekly (bi-monthly? I don't know. First post of 2 a month) post. And I suppose that everything can be summed up into one sentence:
My family is crazy.
Not just odd, slightly goofy crazy - I think they might be legitimately crazy. Who knows? Most of you have heard this, and those of you who haven't, I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch for a while. Things have been hectic what with work, school, and trying to keep up with my Dziadzius' in and out ride in the hospital as well as seeing mysterious people out of state.
In any case, back to the crazyness. Obviously first on the list is that Dziadzius has decided to make it part of his annual schedule to go into the hospital in about late May, early June. He's been in the hospital for about a month and a half now - he'll be fine, it's just stressful, obviously. So much so last week I went nuts when I thought I wouldn't be able to go out of town because my dad was going to be here...maybe I'm the crazy one.
Which comes to Crazy Story #2: My dad got married. That's right. I have a stepmom and stepsisters. Enough said.
Crazy Story #3: My mother is obsessed with her love life.
Ahh the experience of being a divorced child. I hope they don't see this. lol
Anyway, I should probably go to bed eventually. Other than the crazy family talk, I've had a really good week - I did manage to go out of state, and it was great! It was nice to see the K-Fed after not seeing him for a while, and it was good to actually get outside, where the fluorescent lights can't sap out the color from my skin.
Obviously this is one of my less interesting posts, with lots of "daily info" and little bitchy ranting. Maybe next time I'll have something more interesting to say, but I should probably get to bed. I've taken up walking across the river to work, and that requires getting up earlier!

Die Deutsche kommen! Die Deutsche kommen!
Ich bin schlaffig. Ich musse zur mein Bett gehen!! Und so, Ich schlaffe. *zonk*
Yeah I know that was the worst German ever seen/heard.... I dun cur. So as I haven't written anything in here in a while, I should probably list my latest diatribe. *Dana you've already heard this, so you can feel free to just ignore.*
Diatribe #180,000
There's this new show on tv, called "How to get the Guy." And there's an article in Cosmo about "How to get the guy in 30 days." What the crap?? Aren't we supposed to think that we're independent, confident, self-sufficient women who don't spend our time trying to trap men and make them date us?? How desperate does the media think we are?
And where are these girls that listen? Please tell me, because if I find them, I will smack the sense back into them. Seriously - boys are great - really they are. And I suppose I can't say entirely too much because I'm with a boy. But there's a difference between normal girls with boyfriends (Not that I'm normal. Come on, I talk to hairbrushes) and scary girls who make 30 day plans to "catch their man." Like they're fish.
You know what? If you look that desperate, you're not going to get a guy anyway. So why try? Girls should be concentrating on making themselves happy and doing what they want/need to do, and stop concentrating on being part of that all important item.
There is more to life then pursuing the ultimate marriage with babies and strollers. You know what that life comes with? Baby puke and mortgages. And who wants baby puke? I'll just give the kids candy and send them home to their moms for now. Let them puke on them. This whole situation is about as bad as going to college to get a husband. Uggh.
End of Diatribe #180,000
On to other things:
I had an awesome time in Michigan this weekend, complete with the attempt to go to Gizzard Fest. That didn't quite work out so well, and as we had really high expectations of the event it was a little disappointing. But that's alright. I also have a new foot tattoo - it's really sexy - I know K-Fed likes it! He likes it so much he thinks I should throw my shoes out! ;) (It burns it burns!)
Let's see, what else....I got new office manager duties (mind you, not the promotion or the raise that comes with it. I can't get that while I'm working part-time) and today was my first day with the new responsibilities, and I about had a heart attack. I saw stuff on my desk that I had never really done before...but hopefully I figured it out. Needless to say, I feel slightly overwhelmed but then again I think I'll be fine eventually.
Okay I seriously am going to bed now. Early morning tomorrow and I KNOW the sun really will shine in my window and wake me up. :)

I WANNA GO PLAY!! LET ME GO PLAY!!
Okay so I haven’t kept up with my 2 posts a month. I bet you all are REALLY upset. ;) So I suppose it’s time for my quarterly rant about work, though I have to say I’ve been enjoying it lately…does that make me a bad person? Or is it just because my ego is about 1000 times bigger because of everything? (As if I needed to be anymore conceited or anything…)
Maybe I should explain: The war that Cathy predicted would happen is coming true….the two main guys in my office HATE each other. I’d say they have good reasons for either side, really – though *gasp surprise* I’m kinda on Chris’ side. It could be because the other guy (Mr. Look I’m doing Cathy’s Job Cause She’s Not Here – Oh Wait. No I’m not.) does absolutely nothing all day, complains about being here, and then tells everyone they’re stupid. Oh well – it’s his own downfall I suppose…..the only reason he even has that stupid job is because I have to go to summer classes and am therefore working part-time.
Thus the reason for a big ego – because everyone there thinks he’s doing a bad job, I’m suddenly looking a lot better. But the only thing this does is give me more responsibility – I want the raise to go with it! Dammit! Oh well. I think I’ll be fine, and I doubt there’s really much of a shift anyway – I’ll probably just end up doing the same thing I already do.
Alright on to better things – halfway through summer school now, so that makes it closer to not failing out of school if I’m disciplined and closer to being able to do what I want! Hopefully that includes seeing all you lovely people. All of you need to move to Cincinnati – I mean come on…Louisville, Lexington, Michigan…can’t you all just be in one place? For me? Mleh. ‘Salright I suppose I can drive.
Alright, being as I don’t really have too much to say, I’ll leave you all to do better things. Like anyone reads this. (
