Horoscope for today…

This is a terrific day for you to accomplish quite a bit, dear Taurus. There may be a restrictive feeling on your emotions that is not enabling you to make certain deep-level connections that you want to make, but don’t worry about it. If the time doesn’t feel right to engage in such deep conversation, than don’t push the issue. Instead, concentrate on the things that you need to get done on a personal and professional level. –
Hmmm, guess I should clean my room or something

I just realize that ever

I just realize that ever since I have started this Blurty, I have posted at least once every single day. Something to chew on.
Anyway, lounging around on what is theoretically my last free weekend. Still waiting for Target to call me back with the results of my drug test. **sigh** Not like I’ve been doing anything exciting with my weekends, but still, giving them up is kinda sad. Better get used to working 8 hours at the madhouse that will be Target.
Was up late last night waiting for music to download on to my MP3 player. 6GB of music and I still have 2GB left over. What I need is a 20GB upgrade for my player. That would be enough room, for awhile anyway. I could also use a new MP3 player that has Firewire or USB 2.0. But then, I would also need a new computer. I mean I was up until 4-5am waiting for the music to download to my player.
Anyway, Mike came home late last night has I was finishing copying the music. I hope he had some kind of date or was hanging out with his friends. But he was probably at the 24hr. study center @ the library, working on homework or something. And then he was out the house before I woke up this morning. Oy Vey is all I have to say.
So what to do for the rest of the day?

Mostly productive day even though

Mostly productive day even though I didn’t get any sleep last night. Think that I was worrying about the drug test and working has a cashier after…what, 4-5 years. Anyway, I ended up going to sleep around 4-5am and waking up at 8 to get ready for work.
Since I didn’t get any sleep, I threw the diet to the four winds and got some coffee from Starbucks. Resisted the temptation to get Krispy Kreme until I burned my Pop tarts in the microwave. Next thing you know, I am headed to KKD for a dozen assorted.
At least I got quite a bit of work done today. We left a semi large order for tomorrow (well, today, I guess) but everybody will be there so we should be able to bust it out quick. And then the accounting room is almost done, so I can have Bob come out next week to take a look. The only things that I am lagging on is finishing the inventory of the gift/clothes aisle and getting the coin lockers up on EBay.
Getting motivated to do stuff at home is another matter. Actually, I guess I did a little work. I’ve been cleaning out my bookmarks/favorites. I had so many; I still have too many. But at least I’ve organized them to a degree. I also started playing around with a new design for the web site, but I really can’t do anything about that until I figure out if my site needs to be moved to a new server. Also got some reading done and watched wrestling; a classic match tonight.
Still tripping about the postI made earlier about my birthday facts. I am a year older than Tiger Woods, a month older than Alanis Morissette, and one year younger than Alyssa Milano. And while they are a pro golfer, singer, and actress respectively, I am a warehouse supervisor. It makes me think of this song (which makes me think of Suzanne, but that is another matter…)
Dave Matthews Band
Dancing Nancies

Don’t you ever wonder
maybe if things had been slightly different
you could be somebody else
don’t you wonder maybe
if you took a left turn
instead of taking a right
you could be somebody different
Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in Bel Air
Could I have been Lost somewhere at Red Rocks
Could I have been
Your little sister
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me? Then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What’s the use in worrying, what’s the use in hurrying
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy
I am who I am who I am who am I
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Sing and dance I’ll play for you tonight
And thrill at it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I’ll work it out then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What’s the use in worrying, what’s the use in hurrying
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy
Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been dancing nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?
And then I’ll sing and dance I’ll play for you tonight
And thrill at it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I’ll work it out then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide, lick and taste
What’s the use in worrying, what’s the use in hurrying
Turn, turn we almost become dizzy
Current mood: tired

Another blah day in the

Another blah day in the life of me.
Went and took my drug test for Target. I guess I am actually going through with this thing then. **sigh** Hope I know what I’m getting myself into.
Just kinda slept through work today. And then when I came home, I promptly crashed for a couple of hours. I woke up at around 9 and promptly threw away the turkey. I still have the lunch meat if I feel a craving. I fixed the rest of the biscuits and some chicken soup. Has usual, Mike has made a mess of the kitchen and the dining room table. I understand that he has finals and stuff coming up, so I think that I will wait until school’s done before talking to him. I am just tired of him leaving empty cartons of milk and juice all around and food all over the place. I’m not saying that I am any cleaner, but at least I contain my mess to my room. I try to keep the places that we share clean.
So it’s 12:30 and I am now just starting to wake up, which is not good. I tried to do some reading (Prozac Backlash) but I just can’t get into it tonight. And there are a mix of topics that I want to write about, but I just can’t get the motivation to do them. Even just typing this out is hard to do. I just seem to want to lay here in my bed, awake, not doing anything. I wonder if some self pleasuring would put me to sleep. Or I could watch a movie; The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly is slow paced enough that it might put me asleep.
Current mood: awake

Unproductively…

Ended up falling asleep, probably due to the turkey that was in my salad. Woke up a couple hours later when Mary called me. We talked for awhile and caught up on things. We work for the same company, but it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve seen her. I think the last time was for the Friday After Next preview a couple of weeks ago.
Anyway, after I got done talking to her, I got my customary bowl of cereal and just vegged on my computer for awhile. I’m being totally unproductive the last couple of days. I guess I am getting some things done, but not the things that I originally planned on doing. And I have all of these books that I should be reading that I checked out from the library. And my room could be cleaned. But I just sit on my ass, aimlessly surfing the Internet.
Still, at least I have the Target job. I am not sure about being a cashier, but I am racking it up to nervousness. Still need to get a hair cut sometime. And I have to go buy some red shirts to wear. **sigh** looks like another trip to JCPennys. The pay sucks ($7.25) but if I work until the end of January, I can at least pay off my JCPenny’s card. And that would save me another $40 a month. And then this is the last month that I’m paying for AOL, so starting next month, that will be another $24 that I’m saving. So at least I’ll be getting a little breathing room. And if I somehow keep the job pass the holiday, that’ll be $400 a month that I can put into savings, make an extra payment on the car of the student loads. I’ll probably just keep in it savings to get ready for next summer when I most likely move out of here. It wasn’t a mistake for me to move out from my old place, but I should have been more involved in picking a place with Mike and not have settled for Park Merced, esp. for the price that I’m paying. But what’s done is done.
Still mulling over getting a roommate to share the room with me. I would have to get a bed frame so that I could store stuff underneath my bed and to make room in the closet for someone. I wonder if Daniel is still here. Daniel was my first roommate when I came to San Francisco. I know that his lease was up in October. Hmm, he’s probably found a place by now.
I should be in bed reading, but I think that I am going to….you know what, no more computer. I think that I am going to sign off and read a bit an go to sleep. I have a pee test early in the morning.

Got job at target, go

Got job at target, go get drug test tomorrow morning. Might start as early as this weekend. Need to get some red shirts.
Ended up working Faculty party. Exhausted, but I did get some wine glasses and some food that wasn’t turkey.
Xmas cards are going out.
Web site will have to be moved off from FrontPage server to regular server. Will have to redo site since a lot of it relies on FrontPage extensions.
Diet/exercise has gone out the window for a second day. I dread finding out how many pounds I have regained.
Current mood:
Current music:

Good News…

My car insurance is going down $20. It’s not that much, but it brings it in line to what everybody else was asking for. And hey, $20 is $20 dollars.
Otherwise, I am trying to psych myself up for the interview tomorrow. I am still not sure if I want to go through with it or not; I think that in the end that I will. Let’s see. If I can work 16hrs on the weekend at $8/hr. , that’s another $200 I’m pulling in. That would def. be a big plus for me. I could pay off JCPennys if I worked just for Xmas. And if I stayed on, I could finally put some money into savings.
But first, I need to figure out about getting a haircut. I could do it after the manager’s meeting. Except that I’m already leaving at 3pm. The manager’s meeting is at 10am to 11 or 12, depending how long it goes. I guess I could get the haircut and pop in at the warehouse to make sure that the guys aren’t goofing off too much. Or I could just go with a nicely combed afro. **sigh** I should go and decide on what I’m going to wear tomorrow.

Current music:

Getting back to the whole

Getting back to the whole work routine after a week off. I totally forgot that Tim has Monday’s off. And I’m sure he forgot that I have a Manager’s meeting tomorrow too. I also need to get a hair cut, get a money order for rent, and find something to wear for my interview tomorrow. Hmmm. If I didn’t have this lady coming over to look at the warehouse at 4pm, I would have closed up early. Rent is more important than my hair, so after work I will go and get the rent money. Manager’s meeting is at 10am. I guess I could go and get a haircut right after that. I’ll have to think about it. **sigh** I haven’t been on an interview in over 4 years. This ought to be fun.

Just has my friends worry

Just has my friends worry about me, I worry about them.
**sigh** I pray that they are better off than I am, and for the most part, they are. However there are some that I worry about. And now I’m in the position of not being able to help. Blah and poop
