MPR Doppelgänger

I was listening to the radio and thought this person had my same name. Today there was a piece about what it means to be a democrat. I thought the piece was really good. There will be a republican one next week. Speaking of that, I thought it would be cool to try to see the Daily Show, but tickets are long gone.

 

I made my first mistake of my new job today and feel horrible about it. It wasn't a huge deal but ugh. I sort of got a "try not to do that again" from my new boss. Oh well.

 

Ridiculous

The problem just got fixed just now. I have such hatred for my old/current job.

F it!

I'm leaving.

6:30

Still here...

Furious

I am so mad I want to cry. It's about work stuff again...

 

Last Friday they announced my new job at work. So I started doing that work. My boss wasn't happy about it and she is still controlling everything I do. Last week, she gave me orders on what I had to do this week. It was a thing I hated and a pointless thing I don't think I should have to do, especially since I'm leaving. I must have appeared mad because she set up a meeting for it today. Thus, I was hoping I could change it around a bit. So I went in to the meeting somewhat hopeful but it turns out it was more of a way to more publicly degrade me instead of doing it with just me and her. So now I have to do the thing I hate. I was so mad in the meeting, I almost cried in there.

 

Anyway the silver lining was that I don't have to do my regular old job anymore - just the thing I hate plus my new job. So I gladly handed over all of my work to her today.

 

Then as she's leaving she hands me the pager (which was part of my job which I THOUGHT was over). I was a little pissed but whatever. Not surprised at all.

 

Then, shit, I actually get a call. So, here I am at 6 and I'm still here and angry out of my f-ing gourd...I'm supposed to be done with this! Why am I here?! Countdown's on...when do you think I'll be able to leave? I say 7:30. I'm not happy about this. I'm so far beyond not happy I'm almost back to happy. Anyway, maybe I'll just leave. Whatever.

As promised

I accidentally got drunk I guess. Sarah got me addicted to this Mike's hard berry stuff so I had one and then I had some shots of vodka which burned my throat off. I don't really think the buzz is still there. Have you guys had this stuff - it's so good. It tastes really good. However, as I promised earlier in my blog, I took some shots of Reyka. I don't know why I have that stuff. Besides that it is from Iceland. It is vile. It sticks in your throat 30 seconds after a drink, like you have really bad heartburn there for a while. Then it gets ok. It's good at getting you drunk fast though, if that's what you're after. I remember one time when I discovered Reyka. It was at that cigar bar in Madison. Love at first drink! Not really. If that was true I'd drink it every day. I just noticed that it got me drunk fast. Then I texted my boyfriend at the time, and he texted back and Brighton said "That's a keeper" referring to the text. (I deleted it later because I don't like him anymore)

Casey has a masters in Medieval Icelandic. a) I don't live in the middle ages and b) Neither did he. I guess we all have to make do when nobody lives in the middle ages anymore. You can only love something so much. That doesn't mean you transform into it. I have never transformed into Iceland or England that I know of, or Sigur Rós, though that would be easier since those are people and not countries. Still though, it would be almost as difficult to transform into other people as it would be to transform into countries. The best I could do is maybe act like Sigur Rós.

Hi, this is Jón from Sigur Rós.

Did you really believe that? I doubt it.

My ass hurts. Ho! The Soup is on.

Soup's on! Coupson, Soupcon whatever. Where is that C with the thing on it?

Soupçon

Hey, it's a repeat.

Is there a last name Coupson? (My typo) Answer: Yes. I looked it up on 411.com. How about soupcon. There is one but in my opinion it's made up. Cat Soupcon. Made up.

It took me a long time to write "opinion" and then I had to talk about it again just now to say how long it took to write it. Lame.

Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The other day I was talking to Casey and I said a sentence that has never been said before. I am kind of upset. I spent some time doing some lyrics for him and I sent them on Sunday and he never wrote back. That bothers me a lot and I have been talking about it in therapy. Sheena says it's just different email personalities but really, a week?

WALKING

one of the books I bought the other day is super cute. here it is.

http://www.amazon.com/Langenscheidt-Universal-Norwegian-Dictionary-Norwegian-English/dp/1585735833/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219466384&sr=8-2

It's microscopic!!!!!!! It literally is. You have to put it into a slide to see it.

walking again on broken glass!

Does anyone remember when I used to have to pretend like I could walk straight?

Do you guys remember when I used to love Dan? Wow, he's married now. Hmmmm

Hi, I'm Dan. You guys didn't believe that either, right? I am now thinking back to what i wrote about the middle ages. I think I was mistaken. I meant to say, no matter how much you love A TIME, you can't TRAVEL TO THAT TIME. At least not now. You just have to pretend like you're there. Like, sometimes, if I want, I could probably pretend I lived in 1996. Then I would really like Gavin Rossdale and Kerri Strug and things like that. But, I don't actually live in 1996, even though at one time I did. The same thing could be done with Medieval times, except it would be harder because we don't have memories of that. We have to read sources. The other day, when I was talking to someone and we talked about primary sources. I ended up blabbing on (Like I am now except not quite this bad) about how I didn't like school.

Dangerous Minds Think Alike. Did you know? A child who walks close to a fire will not do that again. Also they might smell bad.

I think that last sentence is funny. It relates to something I read earlier. I don't want to explain it because it is in ICELANDIC. (Actually Norwegian)

Similarly, I'M TYPING SO HARD I MIGHT BREAK MY MAC BOOK AIR

Hey. Do you guys remember when I used to work at the library? I remember that. Suddenly I am Tire. I wrote that instead of TIRED and I am not going to change it. So, shit, I am tired and I think that I will go to Bed soon. Perhaps I will watch some CSI. I do that a lot late. Why can't I write "LATELY"? I watch CSI A LOT LATELY. There. My cat likes this blanket I have. LATELY (actually always) he sleeps on one corner of my blanket in a way which prevents me from moving. How can One Cat do that? I do not know. He might be more than One Cat. Maybe he is a whole blanket of cats.

WELCOME ABROAD ELIZABETH! Go forth into the Medieval!

Weird

I'm weirdly drunk or something. Maybe I'll have some shots. Back at ya later. It might be interesting to write.

Light Babs

I apologize for my depressing rant the other day. I also wanted to publicly say thanks to my friends who listen to my crap all the time. I appreciate everyone very much. I am including the one work person who reads my blog. You know who you are! I hereby issue a blanket exclusion over you with regard to all the work crap I talk about because you have a magical ability not to get involved, which I envy and admire. I was going to write all this last month but didn't.

 

Today my new job was made public and it was incredibly awesome with a couple tinges of weird. The weird coming from my current/former boss. My new boss is great and guess what, I DID WORK TODAY!!!!! That did more for my mood than anything. By the way, I have a new job (at my same company). For those who don't know.

 

I located a person on facebook who is a "friend" (as much as you can be) on AV Club. That was awesome and I was excited. The other day some guy thought I was a guy and got pissed at me for something related to that. It was the same guy who was "pissed" (for lack of a better word) that I knew Icelandic. I just laughed. That guy is an ass. (and his screen name is That guy which makes things funny).

 

 

Things I don't understand

It seems like the past couple of weeks have been really weird for me. For one thing, a lot of people aren't talking to me anymore for whatever reason. I am feeling really isolated. For another thing, my Casey situation was going really well and then just tanked.

 

I am really depressed about the last thing. I've been dealing ok with the various friends who aren't friends anymore (in fact I managed to make up with Joel), but I had high hopes for him. I talked to him today and it was not a great conversation and he just seemed really disinterested. I don't know what's up, if he's busy or actually isn't interested or what. It just sucks and I don't know whether I should continue. Probably if I didn't say anything he would never talk to me again.

 

I just wish anyone would even fake like they're interested in anything about what's going on with me.
