Eyes of a psycho

About 45 minutes ago, I came into contact with someone who I thought was seriously going to open fire. Let me back up....so about a lot a months ago (can't remember exactly) this guy called asking about how long scores for PPST are kept. I explained how UNO only keeps them for 5 years...blah blah blah. He then goes into how thats illegal and he has done all this research about how they can't destroy scores. He has explained this to people at UNO that are higher up than me and they basically told him the policies were in writing and he would have to take them again. He continued to spew out legal findings to back in up. After what seems like forever later, I finally got him off the phone and the evil co-worker and I were discussing the call. I guess its happened before and its nothing we control...
Flash forward to today. The psycho comes into the OFFICE. He had a real soft voice and just began questioning the "destroy test results" policy. Just the way he looked at me, made me want to run in the secure room and lock myself in. It was just a dead stare followed by awkward silence. The evil co-worker started listening in about the time he started explaining how he is mad at UNL, because they threw his scores in a burn pile, or however they destroy them at UNL, and how its illegal and he thinks someone should sue. I stopped really listening to the guy because I was distracted by all the red flags sticking out of him. But surprise, surprise, the evil co-worker got along with him and actually made him laugh. I wanted to kick her and give her some sign to be rude and let the psycho leave. But after this week, she was on her own. I was trying to think of something I could do to get out of the line of fire.
It was just a creepy feeling. He finally left and really had no purpose for coming into our office other than to scare the ba-je-bus out of me. Note to self: pick up a bullet proof vest on the way home.

TLWMI strikes again!

Survived another Singles awareness Day...good times. I did get flowers from my brother which was really nice. I was waiting for him to get home to discuss (AGAIN!) his destruction of the laundry room and not bringing the vacuum upstairs. Its the little things! But seriously...I swear he gets bored and just takes the vacuum downstairs on his way back to his cave. Then when I have to vacuum up Miss Sheds a-lot (jasmine) hair the vacuum is never there. I think I am going to be a bitter housewife. So long story short...I had to be nice to him but it was worth it because I love flowers.
I just recently ran into TLWMI(the lady with major issues) in the bathroom during my break. Sometimes I just want to shake this woman and tell her to get a diary, journal or blog-tee hee! She was discussing with someone about how she had some bad pizza at lunch and she hasn't been able to digest it all day...SERIOUSLY not a conversation to have in an PUBLIC bathroom about your inability to digest your lunch. Its not like people cant already tell when you are having issues in the bathroom. Thats all the further I will go on that one. Sorry if you are now unable to digest your lunch!

Singles Awareness Day!

Happy Black Tuesday to all of you! I don't plan on having a bitter post but I would like to do my part in changing today to either Black Heart Day or Singles Awareness Day. But I am not bitter! I do want to include a funny website I found about being alone. Worth checking out!
I went out and bought candy for all my co-workers (even though one individual might not have deserved it) and made hearts out of construction paper. Two things were accomplished here:
1. I supported the candy industry, which I'm sure was needed during this difficult time.
2. I was able to bust out my craft box!
I don't plan on doing anything special tonight other than wallow in self pity and stare into darkness of night and slip slowly into madness. tee hee!
In other news, I think I am finally getting over my illness of SARS...it has been touch and go for awhile. I really didn't do much this past weekend other than blending in with my bed. Looking forward to American Idol and Project Runway this week!
Well...Happy Valentines day to all of you who are celebrating your love for someone else with a box of chocolate. For all the singles out there...go shopping today! Sometimes there are random items that are marketed for Valentines day but can be used all year and I bet stuff starts going on sale today. Happy shopping!

I heart myspace for helping bring people together

I've been trying to recover all week from my recent trip to Chicago (the real world is hard to get back into) and my cold that the evil co-worker gave me. Nice welcome back present. I went to bed last night at 8 pm. Then somehow managed to oversleep on the one day its snowing and I have to get gas. Somehow I just made it to work on time and was able to walk into work with my not so favorite co-worker. You would think its a Monday. The rest of the day has been spent being on the edge of death. It doesn't help that nose is now raw from having to blow it so much that Kleenex only feels as if I am wiping sand paper across it. I have been trying to get rid of all the germs all day, so I have been spraying down the office with Lysol everytime I'm the only one in the office. This helps me because it makes me feel as if all the germs are leaving the area and I get back at the evil co-worker because I know how much she is against us using lysol.
Then, when attempting to stay upright by checking my email for the 1,328 time today, I saw that I had gotten a message notification on my email from myspace. YEAH! I thought...something to do! Well, I opened the message to read the following:
hi im from fremont to u are a hottie do u have msn or yahoo do u liek younger men please write back
That is how the message appeared exactly! I know everyone must get messages like this but I'm glad whoever he is sent it today because it made me laugh. Its a lot better than the guy who wanted to add me on yahoo who was a nudist. That was something no one wanted to see!

Back in the Land of everything FLAT

So I'm back in NE....not so excited. Had so much fun in Chicago, I was ready to stay I think!
Tried to catch up on 3 weeks of not a lot of sleep yesterday until my brother came home for lunch and made a big deal that I was still sleeping. This coming from the King of wake up at 2pm! So that pretty much put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. It didnt help that I had to deal with not a brightest crayon in the box at Wal-mart trying to get my oil changed. But I will choose to move on...

Chicago was so much fun. If you havent ever been there...GO. I just caught myself looking up plane tickets in May. I might have found a new addiction. We pretty much got to see and do everything and anything while we were there. My favorite part was The Hancock Building. Noting like being shoot to the 94th floor in approx. 40 seconds. A little afraid at first to get close to the windows but then I didnt want to leave. The "Brush of Death Moment" on the trip was the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier. Since we were there on Saturday, my birthday (what a day to die on) I wasnt too sure if I wanted to climb aboard the Ferris Wheel of Death on such a windy day. I would like to tell you what it was like but I had my eyes closed the WHOLE freakin time! Thanks to Matt, we got a professional tour of the city and had a blast. Im working on getting my pictures on a site but my internet speed at home is not being nice. I was however able to get them up on facebook...so I shall try again.

Hope all is well with everyone!

In CHICAGO!!

Made it to CHICAGO in one piece! Saw some really cool stuff today....the weather was actually pretty nice. See what tomorrow brings. Highlight of the day was the Hancock tower. We were on the 94th floor and I about wet my pants but it was the COOLEST thing ever. highly recommed.
Hope all is well in NE and cant wait to post my pictures.

Leaving on a jet plane...

So today marks my Friday because I am smart and took off Thursday and Friday. I'm not technically leaving until Friday but it will take me all day tomorrow to get ready. I know tomorrow is going to come and it will not be good because I have been putting EVERYTHING off until tomorrow and I don't think there are going to be enough hours in the day.
I came to work today to find that they had decorated the office for my birthday and I had a present on my desk! I was hoping it would be from my boss because I know Janet had a birthday not too long ago and I did not get her anything. But as my luck would have it, the present was from Janet. She gave me a Suduko book, which brings me up to three so I have enough puzzles to last me until I am 90. I feel bad that I didn't get her anything but maybe she will get an American Chopper Valentines day card.
Lost more money last night playing poker with my mom and brother. My bluffing method did not work to my advantage last night. We decided to play with the sack of money (coins) my Grandma left for each of us. I wish I could back to the days of Candyland and always win...I was so good at that game!
Not sure if I will get another post in before I leave for CHICAGO but I will catch everyone up when I get back. Im sure there will be some good stories/pictures....PEACE!
