Still sick. Or sick again. It's a completely different kind of sick than the previous cold and there were a couple of days in between when I felt ok. I'm pretty sure it's not a sinus infection. So that's something. My AIC 36 test is on Monday. I've passed both practice exams and it's over 'liability claims practices.' Which is kind of what I do all day. I'm not nervous and I need to be nervous. Maybe I'll be nervous because I'm not nervous which seems a little circular, but I'll give it a go.

snuffle Is that a word?

I've had a long weekend. And I'll probably have a long week. I'm half sick and mopey so, I haven't studied for my AIC 36 exam this weekend. It's in two weeks and I'm about halfway through studying. Way behind where I want to be. I feel like I get sick at the worst times... Work crappy? *achoo* Stressed about interpersonal on-goings? *cough* What's that? It's Christmastime? *barf*
I'm going to strongly resist the urge to hide until April and get out and function as a person.

This is probably the first Friday that I have been home and without plans for at least six months. I am not complaining about it. It's a bit of a relief, I'm going to go to bed early.
Tomorrow morning, I'll help the Batts move and then babysit my niece while my sister and her husband go to the Blue Jackets game. My niece is almost six and I see her 4-5 times a year. I can't help but feel a little guilty about it. They live on the other side of town, so it's not like it's on the moon or out of state or something; But they live in Reynoldsburg (I hate Reynoldsburg) and I don't like my sister's husband, or my sister, truthfully. I feel bad denying my niece my coolness when she needs it the most during these formative years.

For as bad ass that I try to make myself to be, I try to be considerate of others, mostly. And often try to be all things to all people. It doesn't work. I'm tired and my ego is bruised.

it's confirmed.

2009-09-11T14:34:28Z

I have a finite amount of patience. On any Monday, I'm chock full of laidbacktitude. I'm constantly saying "Sure, no problem!" But by Friday, regardless of circumstances, I'm yelling at everyone. Everyone is stupid and everyone is an asshole. I know that the situational aspects of this (the fact that this happens EVERY Friday) would lead one to think that this is my problem, not the stupid a-holes.

I told you I'd comeback.

How is it possible to want to try and hide, but want attention at the same time? It's an odd mix of wants. It's completely impossible to get both. Or even 50-50. It's an all or nothing choice. At this moment, I chose to hide... and then write about it.

It's not me, it's you.

Sorry LJ, I've been lazy and let our friendship lapse. I don't have an excuse except to say my new friend, Facebook, is shiny and fun. Not that you aren't fun... but you know. I feel like we've had a good run, nearly 4 years. And after 3 years, 8 months and change, I may be moving on for a while. That's not to say I won't come back..eventually. And we've had lots of fun times.. I'll always remember those memes and the drunken voice posts. They were hilarious. They still are. I like you, but you're a lot of effort.

you can do it.

I believe that I have adult onset sneeziness. Or allergies. Whatever. I'm not sure what they are yet... something to do with the outside, trees maybe, but I don't think it's grass. I have also ruled out my cat, flowers, peanut butter and red dye no. 4. Also, against the my better judgement, I have determined that I am not allergic to Two and a Half Men, but I kind of wish I was.

Someone is excited for Cody Rivers. That someone is me.

You Are An ENFJ

The Giver

You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and you usually succeed.
Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections.
Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down.
You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.

In love, you are very protective and supporting.
However, you do need to "feel special" - and it's quite easy for you to get jealous.

At work, you are a natural leader. You can help people discover their greatest potential.
You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist.

How you see yourself: Trusting, idealistic, and expressive

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Bossy, inappropriate, and loud

"Maybe you shouldn't mend your supposedly "evil" ways if your "evil" ways are about to mutate into a fascinating new approach to goodness. Maybe the very quality that has threatened to cause your downfall has now become the key to your upgrade. And maybe the thing that has made you most nervous about yourself will soon start ripening into a beautiful asset that will activate reserves of life energy you didn't know you could have at your disposal."

I was looking at the Ticketmaster website today to see what's coming to town this spring. So far it's Nickelback, the Eagles, New Kids on the Block, Britney Spears and Keith Urban. And they all suckity suck suck. The few bright spots are Eric Clapton and Franz Ferdinand. And I ain't paying to see either.

After nearly a week of having the terrible cold/flu and missing three and half days of work, I finally feel better. I still have the coughing and the 'crud' but I can sit up and I think that I'll be able to sleep through the night. I haven't ever missed this much work because of the illness even for the sinus infection/pink eye incident.

Describe your morning routine.

Submitted By its_miley

My morning routine involves dicking around for as long as possible to avoid going to work. This often includes, but is not limited to the following: hitting the snooze button at least three times, ironing shirts, drinking tea, driving to the far away McDonald's, going to Starbucks, finding an ATM, paying the rent, checking Facebook, taking vitamins, matching socks, texting, plucking my eyebrows, picking out shoes, making my bed, feeding the cat, papier mache, watching shows on DVR, eating cereal, finding missing gloves, checking my email or getting petrol for my automobile.

Good news chrisbid !
They changed the dress code at my work today to 'position appropriate' and I was anxiously awaiting the 'you can wear jeans on Friday' memo. My face-to-face contact with the public is minimal, so I was totally ready to kick it in blue jeans Friday. Then the memo was sent out stating that jeans and sneakers were a no-no. D'oh. Why did they bother changing the dress code?

dearest Round Bar, I miss you so.

I try not to grit my teeth at work, I'm really upset that I chipped a tooth because of I couldn't not be annoyed at some a-hole who just couldn't figure out why their car flipped over or some woman who plays dumb by saying, " I don't know about cars." I'm not asking you to put gas in your car, I'm asking you describe the damage that you caused when you weren't paying attention and ran a red light. FYI, I don't handle people crying over the phone well. Go figure.
Instead of gritting my teeth, I tried setting my jaw with out my teeth touching. That was a baaad idea. My mouth was killing me by the end of the day. From here on out, I'm going to deal with my stress with alcohol. The way nature intended.

that makes me feel better

Some random guy that I randomly dated like 5 years ago apparently still has my old email address in his address book. I check my Netzero account once every couple of months. I checked tonight and noticed a mass email that he sent out. He got a book published and it's for sale on Amazon.
I lied when I told him he was a good writer. At least his book is number 347,000 in sales.

If I was going to kill someone today would be the day...Not the quick, merciful death either. Slow and painful with lots of finger nail pulling.

Dear Goddess/Yahweh/Buddha/Vishnu/Misc.;

The weather this week has been a real bitch. Please believe me when I say it was nearly awe inspiring.
While the snow/ice in Central Ohio made driving difficult, I understand that the ice storms in Arkansas and Kentucky were awful.
Being an insurance professional, I am often witness to the after affects of your great wrath and fury (*cough*Ike*cough*). I was just informed this afternoon that I would be working CAT duty next week. But if you could be slightly merciful and limit the number of Arkansas claims, I would be grateful. You've pretty much screwed over with weather claims before, so please give me a break.

Sincerely,
Amanda

I'm very anxious to get my new laptop. I should have paid the extra $20 for quicker shipping. I could have had it by now! Whhhhhyyyy!? Noooo!!

But if that's the worst of the problems I'm doing ok.
I have nothing else to write. I'm tapped out of interestingness and that wasn't that interesting. Today was cold, damp and boring. I miss the sun. "I need a sunburn."
