I’m here and reporting for duty, sir
Yes, yes… it’s been so long. And it would probably be even longer except people (and by people, I mean Inga. Okay, fine… other people, too) have been bugging me to post something. I neglect the blog. The blog, it is neglected.
I was trying to post a nice sequence of events for you all but R kept interrupting me: “What are you blogging about, blogger?” and I went and lost my mojo. That R! *shake fist* Let’s try a list. When in doubt, list it out!
- I got the job in L.A. but only after a TWO WEEK approval process.
- Apparently, AZ took eons to get them the background check.
- AZ sucks.
- But, being a huge believer in “everything happens for a reason”, I’m just going to roll with that.
- It did suck turning the job down, though, but I felt good that the offer was extended.
- Kinda like being nominated, but not winning the award.
- Actually, it’d be more like WINNING the award, but giving it back.
- Where am I going with this?
- What am I talking about?!
- Let’s move on…
- I got the job here rather quickly.
- Rather quickly after FOUR interviews.
- Two of them, panel.
- *shake in boots*
- Actually, I wore heels.
- Both times.
- But that’s all I’m going to say since we all know the rules re: blogging about work… *zip lip*
- Great company, though… shhh…
- My apartment complex wanted a ridiculous amount to break the lease.
- There’s getting screwed, REALLY getting screwed and then there’s… THAT.
- A few days ago, I got a flyer on my door for a resident referral coupon.
- It made me laugh.
- LIKE I’D TELL ANYONE TO LIVE HERE.
- I’m sick.
- Really sick.
- I think Nic gave me her sickness when I went to her house for Easter.
- Ham, mashed potatoes, fruit kebabs, deviled eggs… and a side of crud.
- It was really fun, though.
- Afterwards, the 3 of us (R, the kid and I) went to see my brother R and sis-in-law B since they were in town.
- By “in town”, I mean “Scottsdale”.
- R has met quite a bit of my family.
- But there’s still a LOT more.
- My brother R, R (lol) and I drank pina coladas by the pool while the kids frolicked in the pool.
- The life.
- That was before I got sick.
- Really sick.
- I don’t get sick that often. Not like this.
- I’m driving R crazy with the whining.
- I can’t help it.
- Honnnneeeeeey, can you make me some teaaaaaaaaa? *sad face*
- I still went out last night.
- I couldn’t help that, either.
- It had been too long.
- I’m paying for it today, though.
- Actually, I’d feel like crap anyway soo - who cares?
- I had fun but…
- Men are weird.
- One guy at the bar asked what I was drinking…
- Ordered said drink from bartender…
- And still had me pay for it.
- Don’t get me wrong, I can buy my own drinks.
- I just think that’s weird.
- Really weird.
- One guy, really nice dresser, DID buy me a drink.
- But, he was married.
- We cancelled each other out, since hello?
- I have R.
- But I find it interesting that married guy has manners…
- Single man doesn’t.
- Must be why Mr. Married IS married.
- Mr. Married said: I don’t want anything from you or anything, I’m just being polite… but would you like a drink?
- Women need more men like him.
- He’s from Kalamazoo.
- Let’s go there.
- Actually, you go. I’ll stay.
- I have R.
- And thank God for that!
