Irregular

Okay, so remember Cuter Than Kanye? Well, today is the Second Day In A Row that I've run into him outside the ladies restroom.

Then I realized that when I'm at the office, I pee nearly the same time everyday. How messed up is that?

Better, Faster, Stronger....um maybe not

So there is this guy that works for the building I work at downtown, and he looks like Kanye West.

Only, he is actually cuter than Kanye West. Seriously, this guy can put a smile on my face just by being within 20 feet.

And our first conversation takes place outside the ladies restroom, which is my luck as usual. He was doing some maintenance thing, and knocked on the door. And I'm all like, "Umm, Occupado!" Yeah, fur reel! That is what I said.

(And just an aside here--have you ever totally blanked when someone knocks on the bathroom door and your undies are at your knees, you are totally exposed and vulnerable? Well, I totally freeze every time. What is the appropriate response, I ask you? I usually flush the toilet.)

But wait! There's more! He was waiting out in the hall, and asked if there was anybody else in there. I said, "Nope, just me!" Crap! He saw my face! Now I will forever be the crazy 'Occupado!' girl from the 4th floor bathrooms.

So, for the rest of the day it's gonna be all, "Kanye West almost walked in on me in the bathroom!"

Yes, I do realize I've had more potty-room antics than usual lately. This is very troubling, maybe my feng shui is off.

Oh, That Kwame!

So, I've often thought that parts of my life would make a great sitcom. Like the bookstore I work at (seriously, one can only hear "Um, can I buy this book here?" or "Where are your restrooms?" so many times before they start to loose their sanity), with crazy customers and even crazier co-workers.

Last week, Detroit became the basis for the sitcom in my head. Or, I should say, our great mayor-Hizonner-made us proud once again. I stopped at my coffee place downtown on my way to work, and on the TVs in the cafe, they had the live coverage of Kwame's bond trial-whatever. He was facing jail time. When I got to the office, I heard over the cube walls, "Kwame's going to the Clink!" I laughed so hard.

Then I was very sad. This man is beyond belief. I just don't understand how our mayor can't see the damage he is doing to the great city of Detroit. Then I'm reminded of our great president. And the lesson I've learned today is, idiocy crosses party lines.

Good News on Friday the 13th!

I just was just given some very good news. First, a little background: I work 2 jobs, one is a retail-type job and the other is an office-type job. Sometimes the hours do suck, but it all works out in the end, as I can pay my bills and manage to have a little fun.

On to the news--My annual review for my office-type job was yesterday. I was hired to work under a two year contract, which was extended last year for another 12 months (with me so far, good). I just learned today, in fact mere minutes ago, that they have decided to waive my contract terms altogether and keep me around until something permanent and full time opens up!

This news is very welcomed, as last week I was passed over for a promotion at my retail-type job. And even though I wasn't expecting to get it, it still sucks to be told you are not good enough. But I am good enough. And I'm smart enough. And dog-gone-it, people like me!
