    I wish I spelled out Say Anthing, instead of putting SA. It looks kinda funny to me! lol. I should have saved this for FFF or B&M monday, but it just couldnt wait. I have just gotten fed up with people taking advantage of Stephen and I. A few months ago, I helped his sister in law move, and when I ask her if she wants to help us, she pretty much says no. As a matter of fact, every time we ask or Stephens brother for anything, they always have some reason to say no. But the minute they need something, we do it. Sometimes I wish I could just be mean and say NO! I was so tempted to text her last night and tell her what I thought. Oh well. Thats my Say Anything, keep 'em coming ladies!

    Ode to my father: Dear dad, Thanks for the weak ankles.  This is the second time in the span of a month that I've rolled my ankle, except this time it's pretty bad.  Looks like I'll be taping up my ankle every time I go for a run.  You seem to be pretty schooled in it, maybe you can teach me next time you're in town.  Your ankles are getting in the way of my dreams. Ode to myself: Mariah, WTF?  You have bad luck.  Maybe you should run on an extremely flat surface with no possible debris to trip yourself up on.  Like a track.

    I have bittersweet feelings about work. They are increasing my responsibilities at work but not my pay. So now it has been a year and half with the same pay and working three positions. Say I am snotty or ungrateful but I am getting tired of it. I am thankful to have a job but geez! Whats with the overload!I am so tired right now. I didn't realize I stayed up until 130am last night!!!! My eyes are burning and I dont drink coffee. But I am thinking of getting creative to make one. haha I need some ideas, we have french vanilla, original, and hazelnut creamers.

    I think I have said this before but I SOOOOOO sick of some young people (22-27) making the rest of us look bad.. I do not come in to work hungover, I always look presentable but yet I am still grouped in that category, and I feel you on the working more with same pay.  A girl in my office (25) is on probation because of tons of sick days and being inappropriate around vendors and dress code, she has had most of her work taken away as a punishment so she barely does anything but didn't take a pay cut, if we weren't so short handed I have a feeling they would fire her.

    Last night, Bill and I went to see "The Vampire's Assistant" (not worth it).  One of the previews was for "The Blindside".  This is the second time I've seen the preview and I cried both times.  I so want to see this movie but I'm afraid that I'll cry the whole two hours.  Sigh.....

    I really want to go to the post-Halloween sales to get some things for the wedding, but I also need to start working on my presentation for my interview next week. But I know that I can't wait much longer on the sales or everything will be gone, and my interview isn't for another 9 days. I think I'll shop first, work on the presentation later.

    Funny you guys mention doing the work of several people.   I was hired to do my job for Dallas.   As of today, a year and a half later, I handle 17 major cities and small airports around the country.  I've gotten one yearly raise that everyone gets, but nothing in the way of an increase due to more responsibilities.   Ridiculous.

    I'm back into Jazzercise and OH MY GOD I am so sore.  but I feel great and I really missed it.  I love doing shows, but even the past 2 days without one have been so refreshing and nice to be able to do what I want.

    2 people were put on probation from Velocity(dance company at school). They quit the next day. How mature and professional.Although the rehearsals since they have been gone have been quite great. Didn't realize how one or two people can really effect the energy level and general mood of everybody else.The girl playing Claudia in Nine is soooo sick..bleeding ulcer AND bronchitis. she was coughing up blood and blacking out :( I hope she gets better quickly not only for her sake but for the sake of the show that opens in 2 weeks heee.

    Email me show dates and times at the very least.  With a short rehearsal process such as it would be, I might be willing to do it it I could get a gas stipend...if it even became an issue.  Mandy.Rausch@gmail.com

    I am tired.And apparently that's the only thing I can think of.I really want some Starbucks peppermint mocha right now, but the amount of calories and sugar are not justifiable.Also, my dress came in yesterday (2 months before the expected date) so yay!

    I'm exhausted. I'm taking 16 hours at school this semester, and I feel like all I do is eat, sleep, and study. Even my dreams are about schoolwork. December can't come soon enough.

    I watched the Three Tenors original London performance last night. It was absolutely beautiful and moving. I remember watching it in the early 90s with my parents and loving it so much. Watching it really made me miss how my family used to be...all here. I'm trying to be good and boycott Starbucks holiday drinks. They're all calorie bombs, but taste so good. And lastly, I am really happy with last nights out come on The Biggest Loser. However, I kind of hated the political propaganda of how the Obamas only eat from the garden. It wasn't necessary, in my opinion, to encourage the importance of natural, fresh foods are in people's diet.

    I would really like to be anywhere else but at work right now. Yesterday I was so down and had one of those "Why are we even doing this, it's such a waste, no one cares but us, yada yada yada" days.  But today I'm better.

    Someone just sent me a file at work that looks like 7*()&#*)&@)$&)*#$ to me, and I'm supposed to do something with it, but heaven knows what! I'm also supposed to make a template to better organize data for report developers--DATA I'M NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO SEE AS A STUDENT!!!! Why did I agree to move jobs. I hate it here

    "However, I kind of hated the political propaganda of how the Obamas only eat from the garden.

I was glad to see Tracey go though....she annoyed me!

    I missed BL the last two weeks to watch SYTYCD because I don't have DVR here! :( But I'm glad to know that Tracey is gone. I want to send a follow-up email about the application I submitted to a school in Texas. The HR person I've been in contact with said the review process would take one to two weeks, and it's been two weeks. But I don't know how to word it! If they're not going to interview me, I'd like to know so that I'm not sitting around hoping for it. I was thinking something like: "I have recently submitted an application for XYZ position. I am very interested in working for your institution, and I am curious as to the status of the application review process. I look forward to hearing from you." Is that enough??

    Thanks, Julie. I thought it was probably fine, but I'm just nervous about the whole thing because I really really want this job!

    I've started methodically hiding anyone on my Facebook feed who does the following: 1) uses any text speak in their status updates 2) b!tches, moans and/or complains about anything political. I've already hidden 4 people this morning.

    Why is it that the people that live the closest, are always the latest into work?  My coworker literally lives across the street from where we work.  It would actually take her less time to walk to work than it would to drive.  She's still not in the office.  It's almost noon and she's been "working from home" because she likes to get her morning meetings out of the way before she comes into the office.  Your last meeting was over at 9:00!  My commute is 30 minutes and I still get here at 8:00 every day, you have no excuse.

    I agree about the Biggest Loser thing, but I knew we'd see some sort of propoganda the moment they said they were going to DC. And yay! About Tracy leaving, that chick was nutty.

    So I was kind of a B to Jeff this morning for absolutely no reason. And now he won't answer my calls. He accepted my apology via text, but I might have to ride this one out. Way to go Emily, way to go.

    I get why people don't like this party/that party, this politician/that politician, but I agree, Mandy:  I don't want to hear about and I don't care why.

    How can you hide people's status'?  I want to do that to a few people!!  I feel like I could fall asleep right now.  I just want to lay my head down on my desk and take a two hour nap.
  • edited December 2011
    I hide people who post excessive videos and those that take quizzes. I don't care you are magical or that your red panties make you daring. And recently I started hiding overly negative status updates. It amazes me that so many people can publicly b!tch about nothing.
