I *~*heart*~* my friends …

… and their awesome quotes!

From Scott, with whom I spent several fun hours chatting and drinking and laughing tonight at Tiff’s end-of-job celebration:

“When she walks, her ovaries clang together.” (about a former supervisor)

From Scott again, this time on his pleasure at serving Atkins-friendly food for his friends this coming Friday (and admitting to be a carnivore himself):

I like meat, too. And beef.

From Shawn, who paid homage to me with some blogthoughts that were inspired by my whore-with-a-heart-of-gold posting from a few days back:

“Until someone fucks me good enough that I don’t need to talk about it anymore, I’ll continue to express long soliloquies about sticking and dicking.” (no further need for explanation there!)

From Dave, who was making fun of me when I mistyped something and mistakenly used the letter “F” — I asked him to name three things that begin with F.

Dave: “Felching, Fellating, and do I really need to tell you the third? Feuding.”

And my response: “Oooh, talk dirty to me some more!”



Hostage situation

June 17th, 2003, 3:32 PM by Goddess

Shan and I feel like hostages here at Club Med (or Club Dead, as she called it today, when she found Solitaire sitting very still as though she were having an out-of-body experience today).

Speaking of out-of-body experiences, I am editing an article on it. Let me put it mildly: just reading it is like experiencing near death.



Ode to Cheese

June 17th, 2003, 11:49 AM by Goddess

Had cottage cheese for breakfast and string cheese for lunch. Now I’m going to go get my fix of veggies in our Veggie McManagement Meeting, although I can safely assume that it will be one cheesy meeting. Now, what kind of cheese shall I have for dinner? (dirty suggestions most welcome!)

Till I get back and can bitch to high hell about this pending two-hour meeting, let me treat you to today’s favorite song, by Chantal Kreviazuk:

In this Life.mp3.

It was going to be something even more bitter, like Evanescence, but I’ll only add that by request. 🙂

Update

The vines of the Veggie Patch are unfurling and just plain committing suicide. One resignation (of a prominent member of the Veggie Patch family … I’ve called him Nervous Norman before). One retirement. Six layoffs. All in two days.

Oh, and Demure told me not to work so hard. Now THERE’S a request I am pleased to accommodate! 🙂 Just kidding — it’s that very attitude of “Veg Out” that is threatening to crumble this organization. But perhaps that’s how people manage to survive working 30, 40, 50 years here without having, oh, ambition cloud their senses.



A day in the life

June 17th, 2003, 8:27 AM by Goddess

Diet sucks. I’ve been sticking to it, but I think I am actually above my original weight. Bought a scale last night that works, and I don’t like the number I’m seeing. I think it must be broken. Perhaps it will work better if I stand on it on one leg, with the other leg on the floor. 😉

Work blows. In case I have never made that clear. LOL. We’re in dire financial straits; six layoffs and a general malaise and frustration among the management. I’m waiting for them to let the useless people go, but I may never live to see that. McManagement meeting this afternoon … I’ll be curious to hear WTF is going on. I vote that we throw Solitaire, Mouth Almighty, Town Crier and Busybody off the island next. 🙂

Payday isn’t till Monday. I’m broke till then. Was hoping for a Friday pay so I can go put a security deposit on a new apartment — I want to get the rent special before it expires. Hope they will take it Monday. I have too much going on right now to continue searching for homes … my property taxes are due in July, my car/renter’s insurance starts back up in August, etc.

My current apartment management came in yesterday and fixed the list of stuff I’d asked them to fix. Things are working fine, but I hate how maintenance people leave your house a fucking mess after they leave. Um, excuse me, it was tidy when you got there. Do I have “maid service” tattooed on my ass? They totally trashed the house the last time they worked on it, too.

I’m feeling kind of bland today. I’m very much behind in my stories, and Cruise Director just assigned two to me, between yesterday and today. Um, deadline is Thursday, and I won’t crank out more than two stories, tops, this week. Oh well. They want a smaller, crapper paper? They’re getting it.

Everybody wish Tiff a great last day of work! I was going to work late, but fuck it, I’m joining the celebration at Jay’s Saloon & Grille in Clarendon. Save me a burger, guys! I’ll get there eventually. Readers, join the party if you’re so inclined!
