i kinda lost my job yesterday. due to the recession.
a week after i spent a fortune on gifts.
luckily, i can just be frugal and i'll be alright. my heart goes out those who lost their jobs and have a mortgage to pay and children to support.
i have a second job that does not pay nearly as much, but i can fall back on it for a bit. and i talked to every person possible at the hospital and begged for hours and i'm getting 20, half of what i was getting, but in the meantime, way better than nothing.
i just need to focus on finals and getting through next week, and then it's out searching for a new f/t job!!!!

oh HOly nighti did not want to get up for work this morning. i did. and i go, and i wasn't even supposed to be there. i need to start writing stuff down.
anyway, the other secretary is such a frumpy old lady. i asked her to switch a couple days, which was never an issue with any of the other secretaries, but apparently impossible for her. she's so weird.
she told me, oh i never work on fridays!!! i was like, umm, is that that big of a deal???? i work everyday weekend, so i don't think it's that big of a deal, since she gets the way sweeter schedule.
anyway, i came home and slept, because it's sinus infection season, i think i get four a year, and they are oh so fun. i wish i wasn't such a sickly test tube baby. seriously, i am allergic to everything, and everyone, and always causes some sort of strange illness.
i decided to decorate the tree. the mom is in mexico doing god knows what, but hopefully having fun and not getting food poisoning.
for some reason, i think it's gonna be the best xmas ever. almost done with my shopping, just have to tie up some loose shopping ends! i think i want to be done by next sunday, so i can totally focus on exams and be ready ahead of time.
i also have to find recipes for a demi glaze for my roast duck i will be making, and also for tiramisu, with homemade ladyfingers! i know it's the recession, but maybe next year it will be so awful and a depression, so we should totes live it up now right!?!
note to self: begin starvation diet now, so that you can lose 20 then gain back 5 over holiday season. or maybe i should be a vegetarian for a month? or maybe i should just exercise starting like now. good plan.
the tree! i took it upon myself to decorate it, because let's face it, nobody else was gonna do it.

Oops I read this whole journal thinking (e:hodown) wrote about it. I was surprised she started having allergies and sinus infections too. I take back my last comment.

I think that you being allergic to everything is justice for the years when you were not so allergic and I was allergic to your hairspray and you would wait till I was "incapacitated" and then tickle my face with it.

all i want to dois go xmas shopping. but everything else is getting in the way!!!
i have a slight shopping addiction, and this is a great way to feed the need, because it is buying for others. and maybe some for myself.
im also a huge bargain shopper, so im hoping to find great deals, so people get more presents from me because i know how to find a sale.
sales are prob one of my top fav things in life.
i have now realized that secretary means slave. seriously, that place wears me out so much, that i can't handle much at the end of the day. it's basically food, shower, bed.
i have that weird sore throat feeling like i am for sure getting sick, so i am now going to drug myself with a cocktail of meds.
three weeks until xmas yay!!!!!

financial aidi thought be december the school could have this all worked out. seriously?????
i have not gotten any of the money i am owed. i have paid for my tuition with my own money.
i have freakin bills to pay, and thank god for the job and a half, otherwise i'd be so screwed.
i want my money, and i want my money now honey!!!!!
they say they can give me one third of it tomorrow. this sounds so strange. i don't understand.
i work at a hospital which is all forms and paperwork all day, sending faxes and getting signatures is not that hard.
i could have processed and completed all of the paperwork for my loan myself and in a day, not four months.
i need to do xmas shopping, but i just made another giant car payment, so hopefully i can do it next monday. because monday is my only day off, in which i still work two hours.
all this blogging makes me hungry. need food.

my blogCategory: blogging
so (e:hodown) and i were ichatting today. and she brings up the view counter thing and how i am #2.
this scares me for so many reasons.
the number reason being the lack of discretion i have displayed in the past, and probably present.
who the hell is reading this stuff????
and then i wonder, do random strangers read my blog, and then they see me in person or something???? could i maybe have a stalker?? ok, i know, i am not whitney houston from the bodyguard but just humor me here.
this thing started out so small, and (e:paul) kinda made me. at least i got to choose my name unlike (e:hodown), whose name was chosen for her. she hates it! it's funny though.
i bought (e:hodown) a tickey to the blo for new years. i am purchasing my ticket in a few days because farecast says to wait because fares will drop at least 50 dolla.
i told (e:hodown) i am her pimp and she is my bitch. she just asked that i not bitch slap her. i said ok. that doesn't mean that i am not going to play that really fun game with a lighter where i threaten to burn her. (e:paul) knows all about this game...
just kidding, i would never burn my sister.
i think that i am going to take fried chicken to a whole new level this time and make it indian style!!!!!!

I don't know why you have so many views. I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that you write often but not so often that the causal reader can't keep up. It could be the good avatar. I'm also guessing that the entire thing with the dick picture user photo thing may have brought a ton of views. I wouldn't worry about a stalker I think if you had one you might now, they eventually make them selves known (from what I have heard).

i remember when i was filling out the paper work for my polish passport at the consulate and this dude sat down next to me to fill out his and i thought holy shit, that's the dude i saw on craiglist looking for a g/f.
so the moral of the story is, that yes, random people out there can recognize you from your online postings.
wait until you have kids, and they're old enough to google you and read your blogs ha ha!
mine did and does religiously.
