Frustrated

I'm just venting. I called my college to find out what I need to do to test out of the stupid computer classes and was given a response that angered me. Back in November I was told my next opportunity to take these test would be in February and to call back when the semester began. So, I call today and the stupid girl says the cut-off date was January 13th. Bitch. Nobody told me that. She then went on to say "it was in the bulletin" - what fucking bulletin??? I didn't get any bulletin in the mail or anything... And she said "it was posted all over the building" - well, I take classes at a different campus so I wouldn't see those, would I? I'm mad at my advisor, I'm mad at the stupid girl and I'm mad at my school. Now I have to wait until next semester. And of course, the dates haven't been determined for that yet. So I'll probably call on the first day of next semester and they'll say "sorry, the cut off date was yesterday" - bastards. Why does everything have to be so fucking stupid?

Anyway, back to work and the annoyingness that is position request templates.

Tiki Denied

Well, it was a pretty uneventful week. Classes started Tuesday. I'm going to hate Tuesdays. It is my Workplace Communications class. The teacher made a point to tell us we will never get out early. And of course, it's the most boring class ever! On the first day we discussed how to create and write a professional email. Over the next 9 weeks we will run our own business (we have to think of a product we want to make then create the business around that - I'm not very excited about this). Also, we will create a resume (even though I already have one) and cover letter and learn how to write thank you notes - BLAH BLAH BLAH. Doesn't it just sound horrendous? I'm sure when I turn in my resume that I've been using for the last 6 years I will get a bad grade and she'll tell me it's not done well. Bitch.

Anyway, I have Anatomy & Physiology on Wednesdays (lecture) and Fridays (lab). I like the class so I don't mind going to this one. It's fun learning about blood and stuff and dissecting parts. I was supposed to have Algebra on Thursdays, but I decided it was too much so I dropped it until next semester.

On Friday I had a Tiki Bob party. Nobody went because I didn't tell anybody. I didn't think you'd mind not knowing. Sarah and I went to the movies and saw Alpha Dog. I'm sure I liked it because of my undying love for Justin, but Sarah liked it and she doesn't have the hots for him like I do. Saturday was a lazy day. I went to Target with Sarah then came home and fell asleep on the couch. I went to El Dave's around 7:00. We went to dinner then just hung at his place and watched The Terminal. I find it to be a very heartwarming story. What can I say, I'm a softy. Sunday was crappy weather day. I was going to go to MSU for a basketball game but all the freezing rain and forecasted nastiness prevented me from going. I'm annoyed because the weather ended up not being so bad and I should have gone. Bastard weather men! How can they get paid when they are wrong all the time?? They should get paid per accurate forecast. Bastards. So, instead I did homework and went to dinner with Beckie, Austin and Mike. I split the Red Robin Burger (aka, the heart attack on a plate) with Beckie. The burger had cheese, bacon, a fried egg and mayo on it. Fat, fat, fat and lard. Yum, it was tasty (or is it tastey...I mean, that's how Fergie spells it, so that must be the right way...)

There you have it.

Quiz Correction

Well, apparently I was being tricky...maybe.

The question about the number of piercings I have shows the correct answer as 2 - but as Sarah pointed out, one could technically say 3 because I have 3 holes in my ears. I said 2 because I was thinking - only my ears are pierced and I have 2 ears. I guess this could go either way.

Now aren't you glad I only listed 10 questions - I obviously can't answer them myself!! :)

Anyway, the weekend was nice. Saturday was El Dave night. I made dinner and we watched some TV then headed to Waves. I know what you're thinking...WAVES??? But, we really just wanted to get out of the house, and there aren't a lot of places to choose from in the area. I was just glad that GMD, aka the Village Idiot, wasn't there. Guess I got lucky that time! Phew.

School starts tomorrow. Ugh.

Well, if you're bored you can do this. It's short.

Happy 2007

Well, it's back to reality. I'm back at work today and school starts next week. I really enjoyed the time I had off. I got to spend time with a lot of family and a lot of friends. I did a heck of a lot of driving though! I drove to Plymouth a couple times to visit with Anna, I met a friend for lunch in Novi, drove downriver to parents' house, drove downriver to the bar, drove downriver for the NYE party - and these were all on separate days. My poor little car has over 2,000 miles on it and it haven't even had it a full month yet (it will be one month on Friday).

Anyway, I ended up getting sick on NYE (after midnight)...so I missed out on hanging with a bunch of people until wee hours in the morning. **Mental note: never drink chocolate martinis and apple pucker jell-o shots, they don't mix :) I hope everyone that came to Beckii and Mike's had fun. There was a ton of food and lots to drink and I guess Scattergories was a big hit. Who knew that would be a must-have NYE game??

On New Year's Day, I was a little hung over, but not too ill. We watched The Last Kiss with Zach Braff - we thought it was going to be cute, but it was all about cheating and breaking up and it was depressing. Then Beckii made mac & cheese and pizza which was yummy. Then I went to El Dave's and we were lazy bums - we watched the Rose Bowl and Superman Returns and Psycho II before heading to bed. Yesterday I had taken the day off to have just one extra day. I'm glad I did. I checked my work email (only to prevent from being bombarded today) and went to Target, made a healthy dinner, did laundry and watched TV (even though there was nothing on). And today it's back to normal...

Joy to the new year.
