I think I can make it 2 more days
First, there was what I like to call the Pajama Debaucle of '09... see previous blogs for more info. The short version is that I wore a super cute outfit to work, he deemed it inappropriate, but instead of sending me home to change, he made jokes about my outfit looking like pajamas and then proceeded to beat these hilarious jokes into the ground for the rest of the day. The next day I wore a button up shirt and tried to button it up to my neck out of spite but stupid Banana Republic is too fashion conscious to allow for that. No buttons went up that high.
Next there was the Spanish class that never was. I take a one hour Conversational Spanish class once a week which I really look forward to every Thursday. A lot of our staff is out this week so I was pulled from the class to cover the lab during the one hour time slot. I was really bummed out but I am leaving in 2 days so I understood the decision. When I mentioned it to Robin, she volunteered to take my spot in the lab so I could attend class. I was really excited until my boss decided to nix that idea. He said he was going to go ask Robin about switching with me, but in reality he told her that I was staying in the lab. Great.
So I sat here in the lab for one hour and helped 3 customers. And played sudoku. It was a roaring good time. Now I know why people in isolation go insane.
Now it's Friday and I have been scheduled to work in the lab all day. That's the third strike. Actually he doesn't make the schedules but it's easier for me to blame him. So RARRR!
There have been so many terrible, terrible customers filtering in and out of this place over the last week but I just can't seem to keep track of them all. Mostly a lot of people who know how to read when it's convenient for them and never any other time. And people who are mad about getting money for free. What's that about? It's wack.
In other news, I am moving in one week! I am really excited about moving and starting law school. I have started packing up my winter clothes and some of my non-perishable foods, but I still have a long way to go.
Dennis steam-cleaned one of the rooms of the apartment last night and it smells like lavender now. Rad. Lavender smells waaaay better than cat pee... which is what it used to smell like, because my cat peed in my roommate's closet (oops, ok I will take credit for that one) and he didn't clean it up for 2 weeks (that one is alllll him). How he managed to live with the stench is beyond me, he must be a filthy creature himself.
I am going to take a break on this blog and start writing on my other super secret blog. I am in the makings of possibly maybe writing a book so I need to get crackin. I can't really divulge any more info about the book but I will keep this blog updated if anything big happens. We'll see. Fingers crossed!

Beignet
PETA blows
First and foremost - I hate PETA. But who doesn't? Pet owners, that's who. And they really should, or at least they should do a little more research before they start throwing their money at PETA without knowing the organization's true intentions and beliefs.
They have a section on their website just for kids, and I have here a direct quote from the site:
Are there animals being held hostage at your school, commonly known as “classroom pets” or “hatching experiments”? Do your teachers plan yearly field trips to the zoo or the circus? It’s your school, too, and that means that your voice counts, so speak up and let your teachers know that there are alternatives to animal exploitation.
Rabbits, mice, guinea pigs, frogs, parakeets, rats, snakes, fish, turtles, and countless other animals who are used as teaching "tools" or class "pets" are abused and neglected in school classrooms around the country. Students can and do learn about responsibility, animal behavior, and hands-on science without the presence of animals in their classrooms, and there are far more constructive ways to learn about living beings than by holding them captive in hazardous and neglectful school environments.
I agree that certain classroom environments could be hazardous to an animal’s health, but that shouldn’t apply to every classroom in the world. I feel like this is the same mentality that some ignorant Americans donned after 9-11, that Muslims and all Arab-looking people were terrorists.
Another PETA quote regarding the classroom pet travesty:
If no other classroom adopts the snails, teachers are instructed to "collect them in a bag, euthanize them by placing them in the freezer, and then dispose of them in the trash."
So what I’m getting from this is that euthanizing animals, regardless of method, is BAD? I’m not putting words in their mouth by drawing this conclusion, right? Ok. Now let’s make sure that PETA isn’t being hypocritical in this aspect…
Wait! Could it be? Ingrid Newkirk, the president of PETA, is quoted as saying “…sometimes the only kind option for some animals is to put them to sleep forever."
WOW. So to all of you teachers out there killing snails in the freezer, shame on you - unless you happen to work for PETA – then it’s considered a “kind option.”
Another point of contention is medical research that utilizes animal testing. PETA doesn’t believe that animal testing is beneficial because humans and animals are biologically different. In fact, not only is it not beneficial, but they go so far as to call it irrelevant! Never mind the countless diseases and conditions that have been cured or made treatable thanks to the benefits of animal testing.
People who “benefit” from this irrelevant testing are clearly abusing animals, for example, diabetics who must inject insulin daily. They shouldn’t be given any special treatment for any reason – they are just as cruel and despicable as anyone else who benefits from animal testing.
Oh wait… except for former PETA Vice President, Mary-Beth Sweetland, who just happens to be a diabetic. Interesting. So what are her views on the matter? Clearly she doesn’t think herself above the laws of PETA, except for the fact that she has “no qualms about it.” Yikes. And her infallible reasoning, her explanation of why she is in the right: “I don’t see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals.”
That is laughable. By that logic, any scientist who does animal testing could say "I'm not a hypocrite - I'm saving the lives of animal rights activists so it's okay." So if you aren't benefitting from a program, it's not acceptable. But once your life depends upon it, it's suddenly alright? Why is that? Could be because people from PETA are morons. See how I took the high road there??
But I digress. The incident that sparked this rant was contained in this crappy headline from... where else, CNN.com. The headline was something to the effect of Obama Kills a Fly. WOW, I thought, BREAKING NEWS!! I promptly forgot it and moved on, until this morning when I saw that PETA has made a big stink about Mr. President killing a fly. Click the link to see the massacre. Put your children to bed first though.
In conclusion, I hate PETA. And as my brother so eloquently puts it:
me: obama slapped a fly and killed it duringa n interview
and peta is freaking out.
dboywonder: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
shit ur pants peta
dying for publicity
i laff
One last quote from PETA president Ingrid Newkirk: "Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought aboutby human manipulation."
That's right - all you pet owners sending money to PETA should know that if they had their way they would take your precious doggies and kitties and ferrets and whatever other freaky animals you own and liberate them to stop your oppression and manipulation.
Personally, I think it's really cute when my cat jumps off the bed he's been sleeping on all day and runs to the door to greet me when I get home from work. I absolutely love when he jumps up on his back legs to give me a kiss when I bend down and make kissy noises. And I don't know if I could fall asleep at night without him curled up next to me in the crook of my arm, where he jumps up right around bedtime every night.
But then again, those behaviors were brought about by my human manipulation, so maybe the love I feel for him (and I'd like to think he feels for me!) is all in my head. Hmm. That's a thinker. I'll mull it over while I pack my cat's bags and send him on his way to FREEEEDOOOOMMMMM.

Ingrid Newkirk with her photographer's dog. Excuse me, with her photographer's manipulated slave-dog. That's better.

Sonya: and tell them you're doing it from the job market!
me: seriously
Robin: what is wrong with people??!! does this place look like a dating service? When i told him he had to get off that site he looked at me as though i was asking him to cut off his arm. Now he is over there doing his banking. Again, what is wrong with people??!!
he must be in here bc he has no where else to go
me: sad.

Sonya: that seems like a lot of work..

Meredith: use the potato masher please!
Put a Cork In It!
I am quite literally trying to quietly meditate right now, breathing in and out slowly, trying to imagine all of these people bent over my knee so I can "slap, slap, slap!" (courtesy of Meredith). I am trying to keep my patience for the ones that are unwillfully ignorant and who truly need my help, and for some reason also trying to keep my patience for the lazy asses around here as well. I think I am being a lot more curt today than usual though. Here's a look into how my day is going...
me: kendall is emailing me asking me how work is doing today
and its really busy and im stressing out
i said:
We might as well have a sign outside that says "free stripper with every paper printed" there are so many effing people here today and their ages are all higher than their IQs. MY GOD.
That summarizes my feelings for the entire day, and here is a continuation just for fun...
Meredith: hahahhahahah\
THere is an article in the WashPost today
titled
"Are you too dumb to have kids"
lol
and I laughed cause I was like HELL YEA
but then I read it
and it's about people with low IQ
having their kids taken away
me: wow
good idea. too bad they couldnt be more proactive
Meredith: who?
oh
you mean
like
stop it
before the kid comes out?
me: YES
put a cork in it.
figuratively
Meredith: all the single ladies
all the single ladies
put a cork in it!
oh oh oh oh
hahah
what is the lyrics to that song?
me: lolololol
i dont remember any corks.
put your hands up
oh oh o h
Meredith: ohhh

When O When will this workday end??
Malkin played pretty well last night, he dropped the ball on a couple of breakaways but overall he and the rest of the team had a great game with a final score of 4-2. It was definitely a nail biter! And of course Jay came in this morning with his usual "How bout them Pengys!" I think he is the only one who is using my newly patented nickname "Pengys." It will catch on soon. :)
This work week seems like it has taken MONTHS to go by. I'm sitting here at 2pm wondering when 2 hours is going to pass. UGHHHH!!! Also - there are only like 2 people in the lab. Send me home!!!
I really wanted to see Land of the Lost tonight, but Dennis has a friend coming in from out of town and he might not be interested, or something, so we can't go? This is all Dennis talking, I'm just trying to paraphrase. Also - his friend is really bad with directions so he asked Dennis to text him directions for the 433 mile trip...with approximate mileage for each exit. Oh my lord! He was supposed to arrive at 7 am. I haven't heard from anyone yet so I'll have to wait to find out what time he actually arrived at his destination.
Conversations with People I Like
me: yea. i know
i dont know what my problem is
i think im going to abstain from drinking for awhile
Sonya: lol or just watch the intake
me: the last couple times i have had more than a few seems like bad things happen
i think i am going to stop for a month and see what happens
just as a social experiment
haha
Sonya: haven't you tried this before?
me: yea in college
for 3 weeks
Sonya: yeahh i remember
me: i fucked that up too
but i went to see mer within that time frame
so.. i figured. different zip code
Sonya: oh yeah
totally ok
me: i know
and somehow my competitors in the no drinking pact were none the wiser
you know why
guilty conscience
they both broke it several times
it ended up being pointless
but im doing it!
startiiiiingggg now
8:32 am
Sonya: it seems like a bad idea
it will end worse
haha
me: wait
you think my not drinking thing is a bad idea?
Sonya: bc when it ends (or when you break it) it's already cursed to be disastrous
me: thanks for your faith in me
Sonya: soo chamaine just said some lady was in the lobby and said she had the swine flu
two people in the lab immediately got up and covered their faces with their shirts and pumped out a ton of hand sanitizer on their hands and left
Robin: this woman is too busy trying to listen to what you and aljanice are saying to pay attention to me
me: the one who approacheth now
?
Robin: she said she wanted to talk to carol torre. when i told her that carol ha d retired, she said does that mean she not here today
me: i wish there was some way i could objectify jobs so that i could fill up my file cabinet drawer with trinkets symbolizing jobs
Robin: good luck with that!
me: then when people walk in and say "i need a job" i can reach in the drawer and say "i happen to have some right here"
and then they will be like, wtf?
and ill be like you wanted the job w no work involved right
Robin: You could always use those free gifts in the cracker jack box or better yet happy meal toys
me: lol
how am i going to get happy meal toys
Robin: you do know that you can buy a happy meal and not be a little kid, right?
marykristen: whoever gets married first needs to get married here:

me: yesterday he called me little dude
Robin: He does realize that you are a female?
me: blurgh

ambiguous i guess
Robin: shouldn't that be dudette?
me: no

Robin: No I can see that wouldn't be a good thing
