It was a Busy Work Day

I love my job about 29 out of 30 days of the month. And than the last work day of the month comes and I have to do traffic for our clients. This means I have to send instructions for what radio and TV spots we want to run for the next month and this includes spot name, run dates, and percentage of run. Well this month was going to be extra hard and so today I started and I only got two clients done. In fact one took me most of the day because of the complexity of how they wanted this shit done. It was ridiculous and should be done by someone who isn't me because I have much more important things to get done and this is damn busy work. So I hope that the process of finding me an assistant starts again because it is getting to the point where I wish I could call snap my fingers and it would be done. Instead I get to bitch and complain for a day or more a month about how doing traffic sucks.

My Dad has made it rough for any future men in my life...

Last night I went to my parent's place for dinner. I went up there because yesterday was my mom's birthday. I would tell you her age but she may not like that so I will just say that she is still very young. :-) But it was a great birthday. I got her a very cool "Dorothy" Nutcracker (my mom is a Wizard of Oz junkie) and she loved it.

But back to why I was writing this...

My dad decided to cook Chicken Cordon Bleu, little red potatoes, and broccoli. It was fantastic! I think my dad has really made it difficult for any man to ever win my love with all the great, and romantic things he has done for my mom throughout my life and my sister's. Plus he always has done really great things for his girls (me and my sis) as well. He never forgets important days like birthdays, anniversaries, etc. And he always makes sure to make the day special. He even has done really great things on non special days. When I was younger he would take us to nice restaurants, and on great vacations. I remember on my 16Th birthday he took me to what became my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area after that night...Emile's. It is a very fancy French restaurant with the best souffles I have ever had in my entire life. But the best part of the night was just being taken somewhere special by my Daddy to celebrate a special day in both of our lives. It is the little things like this will make it hard for any future man who likes me to impress.

I know getting nice things and being taken to nice places aren't the most important thing in life and definitely not a requirement. I think what my dad did is he showed my sister and I that you need to treat a woman well, respect, love, and appreciate her and who she is as a person because that is the most important thing and that is what my dad showed me when he did nice things for my mom, my sister, and I. It wasn't what he did but the intention behind them and that is why future men in my life will have big shoes to fill.

Guess this could mean I might be single the rest of my life? But maybe that is why my dad did what he did. He wanted to make sure his little girls got the best because that is what we deserve. And of course all dad's want their little girls to be their little girls forever.

The Calm Before the Storm

Lately my job has been pretty crazy and I have had a ton of projects to complete in a very short period of time. These projects go through tons of revisions and of course everything is due right now and everyone's is the most important project and so I don't even have time to breathe.

Well this last week has been really quiet at work. I have been able to do a lot of things that I can't do when I am slammed, like clean my desk of the piles that are on it. I knew that this quiet workload week was just the "Calm before the Storm". Boy was I right, I was just told that this project I completed over a month ago was rearing its ugly head again. And the worst part about it is I knew this would come up and had been warning my co-workers that if they had any new revisions before the next client presentation that they should get them to me so I have adequate time to make it great. Well my co-worker just came into my office and said next presentation is in 3 days and those revisions I have been sitting on and haven't given back to you need to be ready for that meeting. WTF?!?!

I don't mind doing my job and I know I will get the changes made and they will be great but why can't people be a little more considerate when they have had the time to finish something but just waited it out.

Kenny Chesney and Me the "model"

I thought I would take a few moments to explain the photo on my blog today before I get to far into the blogging world. As you can see it is a photo of the fabulous and very handsome Kenny Chesney and if you don't know who Kenny Chesney is I will ask that you don't come back again to this blog.....j/k, well maybe not. :-) And the woman next to him is some hot little Sports Illustrated model with my face imposed onto her body. This photo was sent to me as a gift from a good friend of mine. He was trying to make up for a Valentine's snafu last year and thought it would be fun to send me a picture of my favorite human on earth. Anyways it is probably my favorite picture of all time. I have it on my desktop computer at work, it is my main photo on myspace and pretty much anywhere else I need a photo to represent me. Why you ask? Well I am obsessed with Kenny Chesney. Not really stalker obsessed unless you think someone who has every one of his CDs, sees him every year in concert, has him on her checks, and a huge framed photo of him in her bathroom is obsessed. Okay maybe I am a little obsessed. But I can't help it. I have liked him for years, before he was the hot really popular guy he is today and I think I will always love him. And hopefully one day I will meet him and not act like an idiot and he will think I am so cool that he will invite me to hang out with him during his time off in the Caribbean on his island and until then I will look at this photo everyday and dream of that moment. So enjoy the photo because it isn't going anywhere unless I get a real photo of the two of us together.

Pre-Bed Naps

In my family we have this inside joke with my mom, she often sits down to watch TV at night and will fall asleep off and on for a few hours, we call this the Pre-Bed Nap (PBN). And every time one of us is around her when she doses off for a few minutes or longer we say just go to bed because what is the point of sleeping on the couch when you could be sleeping in your nice warm bed.

So last night I was watching Empire Records and was feeling a little sleepy, next thing I know I feel my eyes beginning to close in PBN style, and you know what I did? Even though it was only 8:30pm at night I got up did my before bed routine and went to sleep. And you know what? I slept for about 11 hours last night. Guess I was tired.

I guess there really is no point to this story except that I am 29 years old and going to bed when the early bird special folks are hitting the hay and I am not turning into my mom and PBNing for hours on the couch so that is a good thing.

Welcome to my world!

I never really thought I would be one to post my thoughts on my life and other things going on in the world but after starting a little blog with my evil counterparts I realized it is kind of fun to just write out what I am thinking about and wanting to either complain about or just tell the world about. So here I go. Enjoy, or don't, that is your choice but hope you stick around to see what I have to say!
