106. Not 4!

currently in the throes of trying not to get headache #4 of the week.


someone walked in to the building. someone who thought it'd be a fantastic idea to sit in a bathtub of perfume and soak.

i shit you not - she came in 30 minutes ago and the smell is still so strong i'm trying not to choke. i have to breathe through my mouth and i can taste it.

why do people find it necessary to do this?

has no one close to them (although considering their stench i doubt they have anyone close to them) not told them HOW STRONG their perfume is?

if i get yet another monster headache i am not going to be a happy camper......

105. Sounds of Weekend

weekends. the end all too soon.....

this weekend chris and i were a) actually home and b) actually got out of the apartment and did things other than run errands - yay!

on saturday we headed over to the history center and saw a map exhibit that chris has been wanting to see for awhile. very interesting. they had a lot of old maps - chris's favorite - that show how people viewed the world throughout the years. my favorite was a map of the mississippi river that rolled up like a tape measure into a brass case.

we also went through 'if these walls could talk' exhibit. i first saw it with my mom years ago and then again on my first date with chris. if you live in the area and have not seen it - i highly recommend it. very cool.

later that evening we headed out to dinner at our favorite restaurant - tum-rup-thai - yummy! then it was off to orchestra hall for the minnesota orchestra's sampler concert. second time i've been there (the first was for the puppini sisters [check them out!] concert last month). it was a great evening of music and at a wonderful price - $15 for the both of us! while we couldn't afford to become members we do plan on going back around thanksgiving to see/hear hansel and gretel. i'm also really excited to see/hear the wizard of oz (part of their cinema program - you watch the movie on a large screen while the orchestra plays all the scores) - they did a sample of it that night and it was fantastic :)

yesterday we headed over to the science museum to see the omni film 'adventures in wild california' it was really good. skydiving. surfing. tree climbing. the only thing (suprisingly) that made me look away was people working on the golden gate bridge. walking up and down the big rigging. i cannot handle heights!

so there ya go. our weekend. :)

104. Ding Dong

ding dong the guard is gone!
which old guard?
the snotty guard.
ding dong the snotty guard is gone!


not only that but my headache seems to be lifting (hope i didn't jinx it by mentioning it...)


monday is looking a bit brighter :)

103. Frump

monday mornings are not my friend.


with them comes the return of work. they also mean that the frump dump guard is on duty.

swear to god - this guard has been sick since he started about 3 months ago. he sits directly behind me. so not only do i get the lovely odor of feet, cig smoke and grease (it was so bad one day i had to make him move to the donor wating room) but he constantly is sniffling and snotting - the kind you can feel go down the back of your own throat. gag. and he coughs. but not a normal cough. more like a 'hack hack hack hack' - he sounds like a cat with a nasty hairball. horrid. and he's a slob. i came in one day to to find his uniform shirts spread out all over the floor, newspaper everywhere - food everywhere. disgusting!

sorry. i just had to get it off my chest. i feel like if i hear him honk, snot or hack one more time i'm going to turn around and smack him over the head (after i get a rubber glove becuase i don't think he's washed his hair since he started working here either...). he's just a big fucking frumpy douche.

what happened to natural selection?

only 34 minutes of his shift left - thank goodness.....

another fun thing - i'm currently having my THIRD cluster heacache in a week. perhaps that's making me exceptionally crabby this morning.........
