The Weird and the Wonderful...

Well, I was trying to think of something that I could blog about today since I am once again sitting at this desk for the third day in a row - doing absolutely nothing... I was looking around and I found that a lot people are really into posting things that no one would ever really know about them unless they told them. I was inspired and here is a list of my strange quirks:
1. I am not a morning person - do not talk to me. I am not happy to be out of bed and I am certainly not happy to see you. Give me a good hour before attempting contact...
2. Cleaning the bathroom makes me dry heave
3. I eat m&ms by eating the hard candy shell first then the middle, especially if there is a peanut or peanutbutter inside (this same tecnique is applied to all candies including cadbury eggs which is hard to do...)
4. I still sleep with my baby blanket - not really in the same style as when I was a kid, but it is folded neatly under my pillow.
5. I obsess over the shape of my eyebrows to hide the scar from a tragic jump rope accident
6. I cry over anything - music, movies, people walking by... cute, sad, happy - I cry and I blame my mom for that - she does it too... as do all of the women in my family... we are quite the bunch when we are together...
7. I don't have an appendix, that sucker bit it years ago.
8. Rolls of toilet paper put in upside down drives me nuts and I will change it!
9. I love, love, love, love, love, love, love (don't know if I've yet emphasized it enough) to be home alone for hours on end.
10. When I was a kid I loved liverwurst. That's right 30% pork liver and various other pork parts and I am pretty sure that I still enjoy it. Sick...

So that's it for now - some weird and some wonderful. I am sure that there are other things that I didn't include on this list that I can't really think of right now. But let me know if there are any major things I have left off. Until next time...

Taxes...

So after my panic attack of yesterday I decided that I needed to buckle down and get the old taxes done and finished. That's right... I did my own taxes and we'll just have to wait and see if it all works out in the end. Meaning - I hope that I am not arrested at any point in the near future because I lied on my taxes (which I didn't, but if I did - it was unintentional). I was happy to discover that I will be receiving a handsome chunck of change in return because I'm pretty sure that I was in the lowest tax bracket possible. YEAH for Earned Income Credit!!! One of the perks of being a low to moderately paid worker... At least I don't owe any money which was a real worry of mine, but that was relieved when I realized that I would be living in the lap of luxury for an entire day with my tax return and then it would be gone as I paid bills and bought unneccessary things for myself. But still a joyful prospect!!! And so another year passes and I have until April 15 of 2007 to start to worry about the next round of taxes and what bracket I will qualify for when that get here... I think that I just got bit by a mosquito and I am so happy!!! The weather is warm enough for some bugs to survive!!! I love Spring and Summer and even parts of Fall and true I know that you all thought the same thing that I did... BEES are back and in action, but I feel that it is almost (keep in mind I said almost) a fair trade for there to be no more snow... or taxes... I kind of feel bad for my nation and the taxes that I inflict on them now... ah to walk in someone else's shoes... it can be such a learning experience... right...

A Spell of Grande Proportions...

I know that I said that I would post happy stuff in this post, but it is just not going to happen today. As usual I am just too disgruntled - you would think that I worked at the post office or DMV (I don't for those of you that don't realize) . It's not that there is anything in particular that is bothering me today, but I did have (am still having) anxiety attack number 3!!! And it is killing me! I don't know what it is, but everytime someone walks in (at work), walks by, calls - I start to freak out! I blame it all on the incident of last week - For those of you that don't know what happened - here is the scoop. A fellow employee became upset with me when they thought that I was favoring another employee and booking extra and more expensive appointments for this other employee (instead of them) than I should have been. Which is impossible - our computer program won't let us do that... ANYWAY... they were upset (which I can kind of understand but my boss was there and supports me 100%) and now the whole thing is just out of control and trying to kill me!!! I have "spells" (as I will call them from here on out) in the middle of the night, on my way to work, when I pull into the parking lot at work, when the phone rings at work, when people walk in, etc. I think that you get the idea... I've since decided that I will only be working as a therapist from now on (I told my boss that and she is going to try to hire a new person as soon as possible) and I hope that this will help in relieving the "spells" that I have been having lately. Then maybe the shaking, head rush, heart thumping, sweating, vomit, I want to pass out feelings will leave and I can continue on with my life! I guess that there is one happy thought that keeps me going... moving in three weeks! Ah! Taxes!!! Spell number 4 just hit!!!

Why Other People Make My Life Suck...

Now I've recently noticed an influx of people that make my life suck and I thought that I would pass some of those "instances" on to you people. Then you can let me know if I have any legit reasons or if I really am that bitter... so here goes... (my vote goes towards bitter)...
~ People who can't deal with the fact that appointments are booked in the order that they come in and I can't just move them around so that you will make more money (no matter what the circumstances)
~ People who think that the world revolves around them and can only talk about themselves... seriously - One can only take so much before they want to physically harm you...
~ People who are loud when they shouldn't be (whether it be during a movie, at a spa or early in the morning (please see my previous blog)).
~ Social skills... please get some... that's all I've got to say about that...
~ Don't pretend that you had an appointment when you didn't and now you expect free stuff or free services. I'm not stupid, I'm the one that booked your appointment and it's called stealing. You should be ashamed of yourself...
~ People who decide to show your apartment to prospective buyers and don't let you know that they are coming. That's why when they show up you are either a) in bed still, who cares that it is 1pm or b) you're sitting on the couch in your pj's, no bra on, no make-up, looking like death warmed over and eating ice cream...
Now... don't get me wrong, I love my job and my life to say the least, but there are some things and/or people that I wish would just leave me alone. I know that I blog a lot about things that bother me, but I see it as an outlet for my river of rage. Let's just say that it is for the betterment of everyone that I know that I take it out on my blog. That way The Rage doesn't slip out at times when it's not neccessary... if you know what I mean... I promise that in my next installment I will make a list of happy things... like the new totem pole that I will be getting :)
