Assistant to No One

I have definitely decided that I'm not cut out to be anyone's assistant. Although my official title has "assistant" in it, I'm not so and so's assistant. My duty in my position is help out on projects that are passed down to me and occasionally take on some of my own. Unlike other sorts of assistants, I don't work for certain people and manage them. I wouldn't last long at that. I can't babysit some adult that can't even put paper in the printer or make copies. I know that this is essentially their job, but I just couldn't do it. It's just not for me. I definitely couldn't handle doing their personal shit, oh hell no. I guess I'm from the new school-if your hands ain't broke-why the hell don't you do it? I'm busy. Maybe I shouldn't work with people anymore.

I'm getting old

Saturday's drunken stupor=Sunday's hungover stupor. Not fun at all.

And by the way, Coyote Ugly on 6th street is nothing like the movie. Kind of disappointing.

"The Grudge" is scary. I love scary movies and so does my friend Chaya. But, we're not brave at all. We take pullovers so we can hide behind them and somehow ducking down in the seat make you safer. I think the audience was more scared by her screaming than the actual movie. We both screamed at one point, then started laughing. We're always a big hit in the theatre, let me tell you. It was a stressful movie to watch-but entertaining.

I'm going to vote early on the way home today. I've been procrastinating. Not because I don't know who I'm voting for or that I don't think it's very important, it's just that I've been lazy about it. I can't wait to get my "I voted" sticker. If everybody who is eligible would go get their "I voted" sticker, this country would be very different. I think P. Diddy does it best. Vote or die, people. Vote or die.

Shady

Some things I learned last night:

1. My feet hurt after wearing my cute new boots all day
2. Shady Things are gooooooood
3. Apparently I'm not having children because the ring hanging from a strand of my hair didn't move...at all
4. I really enjoy being with old friends
5. Kaley's having 1 kid-a girl. The ring moved.
6. After 6 pm no one is at the office
7. It's nice to use the drive-up pharmacy, I'm just not sure if it's quicker
8. How to use my new phone
9. Amber's having 2 kids-a boy then a girl, or a girl then a boy-the ring wasn't consistent but moved a lot
10. The psychic that I went to almost a year ago was right about my job, just not much else.
11. Amber is really insensitive to the fact that the ring says I'm barren

Still losers

Yeah, well our game didn't go so well, as we expected. 25-2. And no, we didn't have 25. And we didn't get 15 run-ruled because at the time limit for that rule, we were only behind 14 runs. Just when we thought we were in the clear, we lost by 23 runs. This may be a record in the Austin Parks and Rec Department, we're not sure. We're checking on it, because that may be the only recognition we ever get.-"Worst ass-kickin". The thing is, we're not that bad (we're not that good either), but you would think we had never seen a baseball before. We're halfway through the season now, and guys, it doesn't look good.

Enough about softball-let's talk about baseball-Go ASTROS!

Ok-enough about baseball. I've been wearing jeans all week to work because we're doing a United Way campaign. If you donate $5, you can wear jeans all week this week. Usually we can only do that on "Casual Fridays". Well, everyday has been like Friday and it's really confusing me. Today should definitely be Friday. So, today is not Thursday, it's Friday, and tomorrow is Saturday-and I don't work on Saturdays. Does that work?

Losers

We have a little softball team at work. Well, mostly people from work, some ringers were brought in from outside the firm. We had a team last season also, the "Sharks". Last season we paid our own way, got shirts, practiced once a week, and lost all of our damn games. A few we only lost by a couple of runs, but lost anyway. It was pretty bad and team morale was low. Now we're the "Bombers". This season we got the company to sponsor us, changed our name , didn't get shirts, only a few people show up for practice, changed the night that we play on and we're
1-1. Go figure.

Tonight we play the best team in the league. Seriously, their girls are better than most of our dudes. So we're pretty much preparing for the loss, hoping that we don't get 15 run-ruled because that would just be embarrassing. We've come up with a strategy this morning at work: make some outs and get some hits. That's it. Nothing fancy. But, you'd be surprised how we can mess this up. It's like the domino effect out there. So, here's hoping our beer stays cold and that we don't get 15 run-ruled.

Where is this fall weather I hear so much about?

It's still hot damnit. I'm ready for winter already. Speaking of fall, I'm in charge of the "Pumpkin Decorating Contest" at my work. Note decorating instead of carving-as carving would be too messy. This is a big job because our firm has over 300 employees in our Austin office. This is a big deal for me because two weeks ago I got a new position at my work, not a raise, but a new position with more work. Not a raise, but a new title. I'm not bitter at all. Anyway, with this new position comes new responsibility like contests, party and seminar planning and rsvp'ing, updating client and employee info.-way better than my old job, not to mention something to actually do with my degree. So I am happier at work-if that's really possible. I still don't like working for the man, but a girl's gotta make a living.

Hello blogger!

I have decided to create a blog. Partly because of Amber, and partly because I have some time to kill at work. I guess this is why they hardly pay me to work here. My friend Amber has a blog and she is funny as shit. I enjoy reading hers and everyone else who is linked to her, so I thought I'd join on in. I really have no idea what I'm doing, so please be patient.

Is fucking Monday over yet?
