CAUTION: Woman In Progress

As quietly as the week started off, it sure did get super busy! After all them dag-blasted meetings yesterday--and I don't care what anyone says. Sitting in meetings for long periods of time can make a body just as tired as manual labor!--today has been a plethora of actual manual labor. I've been on my feet since 10:30 with only 30 minutes to sit during lunch. The rest of the time I've been here, yonder and everywhere putting out fires, filling complicated copy orders and cleaning up someone else's mess. I just now sat down for what will hopefully be a good hour or so until I go home. But, however tired I am and however much it may look like I'm complaining, I actually am thankful for the work, the job, the bone tired feeling of a good day's work. I don't always get that sense of accomplishment but I'm always thankful for the employment. :) Also, I weighed this morning and...ta da! I'd lost two pounds. So I celebrated with a caramel machiato, an...

So. Ya'll remember that cold that was stopping me up the other day? Yeah. It's still hanging around. And while the cold itself isn't all that miserable (yet) the meds I'm taking to kick it to the curb are kicking MY butt. Nyquil and Dayquil, while I loveth thee more than any other cold medicine, thou art totally kickething my butt like, woah! I'm all...  source  I really probably shoulda oughtta stayed at home today and like, you know, slept it off. But, well, I'm a martyr. And also it's kinda a pain to call in sick since my former supervisor retired. I have to call TWO people now and, well, I don't like phones.   Which is dumb because it's like I'd rather come to work half drunk on Nyquil and pass out at the reference desk (which I totally didn't do and you can't prove otherwise) instead of just sucking it up and just using the dag-gum phone. But also again, I get to mope around the office and show off my pitfifullness so...

I had a great weekend and I'll recap it tomorrow. Just--today--I'm not feelin' it. Call it Monday Blues, call it frustration with other people, call it Pouty Jana Day but I'm just not in the mood to cheerfully recount my lovely weekend. So instead, I'm leaving y'all with this...  http://www.ihasahotdog.com

I swear I need to start carrying a voice recorder with me at all times. It's in the oddest moments--walking the DP, working in the stacks, brushing my teeth, etc--that I think of all the interesting(ish) things I could blog about. But those are all really inconvenient times to jot down my ideas, much less blog them, so those ideas get lost. And I end up with nothin'. Story of my life. So. Since I got nothin' all you're gettin' is... [image] Enjoy!

I am completely 120% PMS'd today. Nothing good can come from this. Trust me. You don't want to hear anything I have to say today. I'll be back Tuesday (hopefully) in a lighter and brighter place. Until then...

I need to start drinking more. Maybe start keeping a flask in my desk drawer or something. Ya'll, for reelz. I think I'm being slowly driven to insanity. I nearly busted a vein in my forehead this morning. People not listening to or comprehending my instructions just makes my blood pressure rise to head exploding levels. Not great. And to think, I vaguely remember a time when I was like the coolest, most patient and laid back chick in Mississippi. And now I've got a head exploding blood pressure caused headache and my acid reflux is making me want to spew. And all because of stress. Where did happy-go-lucky go? Oh right. It retired with my supervisor. Also, I think the muscles in my neck are about to snap. That's a bad thing, right? I need some Calgon, Zachary Levi and a Mudslide, in that order--or simultaneously. Whichever. Thank the good Heavenly Father above that it's Friday.

Though I'm fairly certain I've been productive today, I can't say for certain I've been entirely awake. I think I may have sleepworked through the day. ;-)

Oddly enough four pounds down and mah butt is still huge. I'm feeling very buoyant about those four pounds, though. After I stepped off the scale this morning I almost wanted to do my 30 minute walk right then. But the shower won out. I had to get ready for work anyway. So tonight, it is ON like Donkey Kong and I WILL do my 30 minutes and I WILL NOT eat the entire Totinos pizza like I normally do. Maybe not, anyway. We'll see. But I WILL do my 30 minutes. And maybe another 15 later if I eat the whole pizza. :-/

I'm so not motivated to actually do anything. For one thing, its Monday. Mondays aren't a great motivator to get up and work. Mondays ARE great at motivating me to be cranky, eat whatever I can get my grubby hands on and generally snarl at the world. For another thing (in the interest of oversharing) I'm completely PMS'd. Being PMS'd isn't a great motivator to get up and work, either. Being PMS'd IS great at motivating me to be cranky, eat whatever I can get my grubby hands on and generally sob at the world. And also, I'm feeling unloved and unappreciated. Definitely not a great motivator to actually do my job. Why am I feeling this way? Other than being PMS'd? Well, because when sending out a library wide appreciation email to everyone who helped with GenFair (the genealogical fair we held this week at the library), my supervisor did not include me in her appreciation. She thanked everyone by name. (Never a good idea when it's more than ...

The lights just blinked off here for a second, though. If they go out again, I'm crawlin' under my desk and having a nap!

I'm thinking about going mute--both in person and on-line. It doesn't do me any good to freakin' talk anyway. That is all.

Do you know where your productivity is?

Ugh. And boy howdy. I've been arguing with the automated pharmacy people about needing/getting refills on my synthroid and they keep telling me I have no more refills. Called doctor's office who said two weeks ago that they were ordering me some more and apparently the pharmacy lost my prescription. Now I'm out of synthroid and will prolly hafta wait a couple days to get it. Pharmacy has a 24hr refill policy...and that's even IF I can get it figured out today. *sigh* Which, yeah, I guess it's not a HUGE deal if I miss a couple days of it but...Ya'll, life is so much less DARK with my synthroid. I never knew that having your thyroid out of whack could cause so much chaos with your emotions. But apparently that's what was happening to me all these months I was so darned depressed and lethargic. I haven't gone on a crying jag or wished I was dead in WEEKS. So yeah. The thought of even a couple of days without my meds is a little scary to me. I know it would...

Today's a "just sits" day. For a Wednesday, it ain't so bad. I'm just feelin' mellow. Especially now that I've added a BK Stacker to my ever-expanding-doesn't-matter-how-hard-I-try gut.

But when am I ever? LOL Will try to do the weekend review tomorrow if I'm here. May take off to go help Sis2 with some packing business. But if I'm here, ya'll'll get to hear all about pre-moving moving and baby showers and how tired I am. I know ya'll're so looking forward to it, right? ;-)

Took the morning off of work. Was supposed to go to doctor for blood work and then go help Sis2 pack. But she changed her mind. So instead, I went to doctor and then went shopping. Well, I take that back. I went for a chicken and biscuit and cappuccino and THEN went shopping. But I got bored so I came to work after lunch. Didn't really find anything while shopping. Thrift stores around town suck. The only one that has anything good charges WAY too much. The only purchases I made were at Wal-Mart, of all places. Imagine that. lol I bought two throw pillows for my bed and a pair of sandals that had been marked down to $5. And that was it. Picked up lunch from Wendy's--got one of the new applewood bacon burger things. The picture looked awesome. The burger? Meh. I mean, it's nothing special. Mostly just messy. (Meaning, I'm wearing it.) I'd rather had the baconater. More cheese. hehehe And so here I am. At work. Boring ya'll with my blog. Yay me. ;-) Or should I s...
