August Already?
Well, well, well. It's funny how things turn out. For instance, Mark came back to work the Monday following my last post. So I didn't get that great promotion. Or for another example, it's funny how Mark came back and my work load doubled. In any case, I still really love what I'm doing and I'm even still in love with my company. Not to mention, I think my boss is fucking awesome and I get rewarded for the work I do so it's really not all that bad.
Although the last two 10 hour days with no lunch break have been a bit tiring.
In other work news, Claire now interns at my company. She's in the marketing department which is great because advertising works very closely with marketing, but we're not actually in the same department. Although, it's also funny that Mark supervises both of us.
In non-work related news, I've taken up playing the Sport of Kings. Yes, my friends, that's right. Motherfucking croquet. Now, a lot of people have been quite taken aback by this new habit. But that's only because they don't understand how AWESOME it is and how it's the MOST FUN EVER!!! I thoroughly recommend it. Any sport that you can play while smoking and drinking is alright by me. And you've got to love the secondary goal of the game - to talk as much shit as possible. Right now I'm playing with a shitty $15 set bought at everybody's favorite chain store - Target. I plan to ask for a nice set this Christmas. In the meantime I'm hoping the Target set makes it that long. As is, the bag has already fallen apart on me. Did I mention I've only played one game with it???
In TJ news, the mongrel got herself quite the case of fleas over the weekend. I spent all day on Sunday exterminating the house and my belongings. I just don't understand. She's so little, how are there so many of them? The issue seems to be resolved at this point, but I still have another full can of flea spray just in case.
In weather news, it's been mainly beautiful here with a little bit of too cold and a big dollop of way too hot.
I'd like to close with what is a bitter tradition in my life - the bitch ballerinas are back on the buses. Not that this is news, they've been around since late June, but I haven't technically mentioned them yet. So you understand how it's almost news. In any case, I hate those little brats so much. Here's the thing (aside from my rants last summer about them filling up the buses which is STILL TRUE - especially with the MUNI cut backs,) if the little brats followed the rule of the bus I would be much more friendly with them. But no. They just don't get it. And I've witnessed people scream the rules at them enough times that they should really fucking get it. Move back as the bus fills up (yes, girls. Even if your friend is sitting down in the front. Your ass keeps moving down. Stop being so goddamn codependent.) If the bus is packed, get into position for the door before your stop instead of just as the doors are closing. Don't litter. Et cetera. Bitches. Anyway, I know USF starts back up in a couple of weeks so the brats will be gone soon enough. Finally, I'd like to share my friend Esther's remark on the girls "if they were any good, they'd be with a company which wouldn't let them show up for class looking like such sluts." Sho 'nuff.
