Yesterday

08.21 – I’m at work. I have already done a load of laundry, checked all of my blog list, got the papers together for tonight, straightened up the kitchen, made a list of things QV is to do today to get ready for tonight and made my daily TODO list. I love lists. QV and Snoogs really annoy me sometimes because they try so hard to misunderstand each other. They ruined my night. Snoogs told a stupid joke what QV as the object of the joke (stupid girl) and QV insisted she was serious (idiot husband.) I’m going to start going to bars after work. I think that will help. Unfortunately, people like to hunt me down. I hate everyone this morning.

My work TODO list: payroll, health insurance bill (they totally screwed it up when I asked to have the health and dental on the same bill – now the invoices are inflated and of course they have no idea what they did wrong.), then I must reconcile petty cash and several trips and make up new benefits packages for those people who haven’t gotten theirs, plus if there is time, I must go online and register our trailers.

My personal TODO for today: pay the phone company which I hate, pay car insurance, cell phones, water and electric (yipee for paying bills) see if I can get online at QV work to check his benefits, call my brother about his wife’s BD Sunday, make her card, write up our budget for the finance lady tonight, find out the date of our family reunion so I can schedule off. I love lists.

09.08 – I am annoyed at our bookkeeper because I have to drop everything and look online at our AmEx account to see why there is a debit to our bank account. One would think since she needs to know this stuff now she’d do it herself, pain in the ass.

09.18 – I can tell this is not going to be a good day. Already I am being annoyed by everyone that crosses my path. Now our dispatcher suggested I misplaced a driver’s logs, because the driver says he turned them in, like he’s known for his reliability. Is it wrong to hit people when they annoy you? Please say no.

09.28 – I’m having my yogurt smoothie and Kashi bar. Maybe the carbs will clam me down. I need to fix my lunchbox handles so my lunchbox doesn’t spin upside down (another thaing that annoys me – shoddy engineering.)

10.25 – Took my vitamins. Talked to my brother who is always funny. He went to the Bahamamas for our cousin’s wedding. Our relatives definitely qualify as white trash; multiple DUI’s and marriages and arrests. Everyone was drunk for the wedding except my brother, his wife and our cousin. Snoogs walked into his office while we were talking (my brother and my daughter work at the same hospital.) She told him he needs to get his ass moving and yes, he’s her boss. Isn’t family great?

11.06 – I just stood up and stretched. That felt good. My boss was in my office making me nuts for an half hour then my bookkeeper was here for 15 minutes complaining about my boss. I spend more time listening to other people complain. My life is such a joy.

11.20 – I am eating lunch because I am hungry. I get up at 04.30 so that’s 7 hours. QV called. Our meeting with the financial advisors is cancelled for tonight. That’s a good thing; gives me more time to procrastinate.

11.47 – I finished my sandwich and my salad and I am totally unfullfilled. I want something more. Maybe its because I don’t have our budget done and I am castigating myself for my inability to do what needs to be done in a more timely fashion. Maybe it’s because I want some ice cream. Actually I want a Diet Coke but there’s so much salt in them that they make me feel even worse, so I’ll have water instead. – done taking a gulp – I like water and can drink lots. My mother always worried I had diabietes because of how much liquid I require, and I don’t. I’ve been tested many times. I have flecks of Catalina salad dressing all over my white shirt. I really should pay attention while I eat. So much for eating at my desk. I’m feeling fuller now. Not totally satisfied, but fuller. Back to checking time card math.

12.12 – Actually I feel quite full right now. Almost too full. This paying attention to feelings is crap and a pain in the ass.

14.16 – Finished payroll. I’m eating my soy beans. I started thinking about changing jobs and all that it would mean. And I thought about how little time I have to study for my certification test. Now I’m all nervious and anxious.

15.25 – I finished my chapter for the day. I must read one a day if I am going to make it by May 1st and have time do study. Someone just made popcorn. I love the smell of popcorn.

15.48 – Grape time.

16.09 – I was just wondering what if Hilary and Barak ran on the same ticket? Who would be VP? I’m tired.

16.35 – Time to pee again, which is the big problem with drinking lots of water and not eating lots of salt. Can nothing ever be perfect? I wonder if I can remember the six emotions: happy, sad, angry. That’s it; the extent of my emotional depth.

15.56 – Almost time. Woo – hoo. And I will do my filing tonight at home. I will really. And finish the budget. And if I’m a good girl, blog. Yipee.

QV and Snoogs actually had an extended and amiable conversation tonight.

I lied. I didn't do my filing. I was in bed by 19.30.
