A day, alone in the office.

So last Friday I found out my life is going to be a bit crazy for, oh well, as long as I am at my job. Fun! Today, I was alone in the office. That is okay when there is nothing to do but when you have EVERYTHING to do and an event tomorrow it gets a bit hectic. Not to mention that the other people from different organizations on the hall wanted to talk.

I feel like this is all moving very fast and I don't know if I can do it. I mean, I know I can--but it is going to be rough. I am very excited about the raise and the fact that I will be able to afford a house. My own house! That is so exciting! My car will be paid off soon--I will sell it and get the one on order. Yes, everything seems to be moving fast at this point. Whereas, my love life is at a standstill. Oh well, that is very normal for me. I apparently just don't date. I guess I should be used to that by now.

I worked from 8:20 to 6 today without a lunch break. I took the time to run to McD's for some chicken then came right back to the office. Ah, this is going to be my life isn't it? Maybe it will be worth it. If it isn't, then I will just move on!

WIth falling leaves come changes--big ones!

It really has been forever since I've had time to write anything on here--I'm sorry! I just don't think about it, and I can't do it while I'm at work. So, to catch things up a bit.

Live is getting crazy. Within the last month my boss got engaged, the other lady I work with--her son got married and now he and his wife are expecting. Did I mention there are only three of us in the office? So, this leads to my boss moving away in JANUARY, actually mid-December, and me being asked to take her position on an interim level. This will determine if I get the job full time after that time period. Am I freaking out, you can bet so! Not only am I required to do my job which is pretty hectic on a regular basis (tourism) but now I will be doing presidential functions. I will be attending meetings with my boss, learning programs, getting ready for a dinner, a reception, a bridal shower, a retreat, doing financials, all of this will occur before January 23. Yeah, so excited!

It is a great opportunity for me to move up in my career and I am not going to second guess myself. With the economy being the way it is I can't really follow my dreams and move to Charlotte or Nashville. I am going to have to stay put for a while. At least this way I will have this presidential position on my resume and then hopefully be able to find what I really want in about two years.

All of this has me looking at houses. I am sick of where I am right now and can't wait to have my own place. With that said, I don't think I can do it on my own so I am going to need a room mate. Who? That I have no clue about. I have three people in mind, one is a male cousin but he and I differ on subjects such as alchol and sex, the other two are friends from out of town. Though I don't know if either will ever move away from their home towns. Though really, with a very large new industry coming to a metro area here they should think about it! They are hiring now and those would be GREAT jobs for them. Benefits, steady work, and fun!

On to this weekend I suppose. Last night I went over to a friends where they were having a 'barn' party. Literally... at the barn. I had never been to one of these there... usually we just hung out up by the house. I didn't know they had even built a barn! LOL So I get there in hopes that this guy would be there. Nope, hunting in KY. DAMN! I needed him to be there. It's been about a year since I have seen him and nothing would have made me happier last night than a little getting down on the farm! ;)

Tonight is another friends bday party. I love her, but don't really love her friends. Should be an interesting time for all. I have a bottle of Crown and I'm ready to go. Don't know if I will even get the Coke to go with it!

Right now I am off to find her a gift, tan, run, and oh yeah. Go to the office for a few hours becuase I have got to get some stuff finished! Doing two jobs at once may kill me.

Ah, some things never change.

So it's been over a week since I've written. Between house sitting at a house that has no internet, computer issues in which I had to download Mozilla, and work that is crazy now is the first time I've had to really catch up! So sorry, this might be a long one!

When I posted last it was right before the hella Halloween party! It was a weekend! The night before the party I met up with Blondie and hung out with her and her boyfriend at his house. Very interesting. He is a nice guy but there is always something telling about age differences. Not to say that I am old, but maybe I'm getting there!

The next evening was the HALLOWEEN PARTY! It was great! We started out at one place then decided to road trip it to the neighbors. Fantastic times! It was great to get to see everyone and catch up with old friends! It was also wonderful to meet new people! I love talking to new people and just getting to know them. E tried to get me to hook up with a friend of a friend--sorry E, I slept alone! LOL It was a great night all in all! When we got back to the original party pad very late I was a bit taken aback by what I saw just because I wasn't warned. Oh well though, ignorance can be bliss I guess. The rest of the evening was fun. We laughed and joked. The next day we were all a bit hungover and tried to remember everything that had happened the night before!

Big news... my boss is engaged! Yes, this means major changes for me at work and I'm not sure exactly what that means either! Oh well. Right now it is one of those what do I do now type thing. So not only do I not know what is going to happen there or who I might be working for I am planning her bridal shower! Oh, and I think the wedding is out of town. WAHOO! haha not really! It is going to be expensive!

Over this past weekend I got to see my new baby cousin. He is three weeks old and absolutely adorable. Makes me want one, I think. Sometimes just holding a baby makes you think you really need one. That motherly instinct kicks in and there is nothing that you can do about it. I really am not generally the mother type but maybe? Ah, hell-I can't even keep a guy around long enough for a real date muchless to be a father!

So Halloween night kinda sucked. After seeing the baby I cooked dinner, fixed myself a Crown and Coke and waited for friends to arrive. A couple. It was fine... but it is horrible being alone. It makes you bitter. It would be great to have someone there to hold you when you scream in the middle of a scary movie.

Saturday I had a community club event to attend. Great. Just another reason to remind me that I am single and have no life. Yeah, and I got pulled over as I pulled into the parking lot. Ah, what a weekend. Just pour some salt in my wounds.

Now it is Monday evening and I'm sitting here doing nothing. I'm going to get up and go to the gym in the morning. It is time to start over... loosing two sizes by my birthday is possible and I am determined. I've always struggled with my weight and now is the time to struggle it off! I have nothing else to do that is really important in my life right now so I think this is the best thing for me to do. Maybe when I get pissed I can just run it off!

Did I Shave My Legs For This????

Ok this post is to rant a little about the temperature in the workplace. I mean how many others like myself take a jacket to work even though it is 90 degrees outside?! When I walk into my office in the morning I feel like I am walking into a refrigerator. I mean come on people cool and freezing are two different things! Did I shave my legs for this? I mean really I shaved this morning and now with 20 minutes to go till lunch you can't even tell. What's the point really? lol
