A few tips

1.) (or as I like to say "A - number one" I know it's weird, get used to it) Change the day on your date stamp. That way it actually looks like you come into work every day and all your invoices didn't come in on the same day. I mean May 23rd is a great day and all but don't make yourself look like you're a rock star on Monday and a slacker the rest of the week. Also (part b of the tip) you don't make it look like you're slowly handing out the invoices because this is all the work you have for the week (and hoping no one will notice it's all the same date) because it's not. Lots o'stuff to do.

P.S. no spell check on o'stuff but on definitely on rockstar. Hm. (also hm. Dear spell check, I'm not trying to spell him by mistake.)

2.) (B - number two, if you're curious) If you drink Starbucks via don't clean your coffee cup, just refill it with water. That way you can get every single gram of caffeine out of your cup. Also you're cleaning it out. Double the benefit. What? I didn't say it was for everyone.

3.) (etc., you get the picture. I don't know what happens after I reach number 26 though. My lists are normally short and so I've never encountered that problem.) Okay well I can't think of a third one but I thought I would continue the theme to finish the post. Happy Thursday people.

Update:
4.) Don't pat yourself on the back when you find your website bookmark for shipping because you're too distracted by bright colorful shiny things. YOU BOOKMARKED IT. You already realized that you need a bookmark for a basic website. Bravo.

I think I need more coffee...

I can't make this up.

So on my way home tonight I had a cop come up behind me and literally ride my ass. Just as I was turning he turned on his lights and I seriously thought he was going to pull me over. I had no idea what it was that I had done.

The real story? As soon as I turned he turned his lights off and zoomed past me. He was seriously going to use his lights to make me get over so he could pass me in busy city traffic. Like he had somewhere to go. Um, what?

Apparently I need to tell a cop "you only use your lights in an emergency". Passing someone IS NOT AN EMERGENCY.

Thanks for the anxiety cop. Thanks a lot.


This doesn't help my complex with cops AT ALL.

A couple of things...

Apparently I look like I just graduated from high school (still) and people are shocked to learn I am married even though I wear (wait for it) an engagement and a wedding ring. I only mention this because it happened yesterday, and it's not the first time. I mean I'm all for looking younger than I am (score!) but a teenager or barely 20 year old? Still kinda confused.

Also apparently not only do I look cuter than the guy that normally works our front desk (whew! I was worried there) but I have him BEAT BY A MILE. And apparently it would be hard to beat how cute I am. This is coming from two old men who I assume have problems with their vision (I mean we're all going to get there some day, right?) visiting a resident at the facility I work at. I assume, one might be the resident. I don't actually work with the residents so I can put very few of their faces with their names.

Also the world will actually end on October 21, 2011. He was just six months off...

You're welcome. Apparently I have to sit here and do all the leg work for you. Don't tell me that's an oxymoron because I can totally move my legs while I sit here. Can anyone tell me why I exasperate my husband with my line of thinking? I have no clue.

Phoning it in.

I was looking at the pictures I've taken with my phone this weekend and thought "this is gold" (I know I'm not a good source of judgement). Because normally I take pictures on my phone and then forget all about them. I am finally doing something with them.

Deer!

I took this one for my Dad because apparently he works in the same town as me (not).

Really? This is just funny.

I am apparently part of a small minority that follows the no dumping your home garbage at the rest stop garbage bins. Why else would they have this sign? Also? You only get to rest for 10 minutes. Do these people seriously not have children or pets?

I surprised Isaac with this one.

Baby lamb! Seriously cute.

This is just cool.

(I am so going to hell) Written by someone who has at least two degrees (neither in English though) and from the US. I realize (besides the two degrees this could be my husband). It just makes me giggle.

And new music because I haven't done it in a while. I need to make better decisions because nothing below save the last one has really blown me away. It's not bad, just kinda ho hum. I do love all these artists though.

I was disappointed by this album and I love Kate Nash.

May 22, 2011

I didn't take this but I wish I had. I took this from a friend on Facebook. :)

Today's your last day.

Because the end of the world is coming tomorrow, but at least someone is there to look after the pets. I was planning on a fun no work weekend (my first one after three weekends in a row) but no, now the rapture is screwing me over (yes I know saying that is going to send me to hell, I've accepted it already). At least today is better weather than what is predicted for tomorrow.

(Yes I snuck this picture in because there has been nothing lately.)

So thank you weather for being on the side of the hedonists. Or maybe the weather turns worse tomorrow because of the beginning of the rapture? I'm just confusing myself now.

I'll see you all on Monday, you know, unless you go to Heaven. Otherwise then, good luck.

Some thoughts

This is basically just a mind dumping because I haven't had time to put anything together. Too busy and then just wanting to relax, besides obviously I would rather watch Biggest Loser and Glee than use my mind for thinking about what to type (also why do I have to have topics? I feel lame otherwise.) here.

My current boss at work has resigned and her replacement started yesterday. I had applied for the job but I really don't feel any resentment or bitterness. Honestly. They needed to hire who they felt was right for the job and that wasn't me. I've always felt that I have a job because the company has a need for a certain job to be done and they think I'm pretty stellar at what I currently do. Also? So far she's really cool and I like her a lot.

(Totally different topic now, because that's how my mind works)

When I got home yesterday Isaac had taken out the trash (love it) which kind of ended our nonverbal (non-hostile) stand off as to who was going to do it and who had the most skillz at getting just one more piece in before it over flowed (I'm a really good smoosher). However he never puts a liner in because apparently that's my specialty (which is true, he doesn't know how to get it just under the lip and slide it in the holder so it stays) yet fails to ask me and I only find out when my hands are full of garbage opening the lid to can sans liner. But I have to give him credit he cuts up whole chickens (much cheaper) and though he has showed me how many times I refuse to learn because it's what he's good at (I know I'm so sweet like that). Also that boy can cook a piece of meat to perfection and while mine is decent it's usually slightly over done and a little dry (that's what they created sauce for right?).

Credit where it's due, give some today. :)
