AND THIS IS A SUCKY WEEK AT WORK TOO BECAUSE I HAVE TO ISSUE DECISIONS ON THE COMPLAINANT FROM HELL'S CASES - I HAVE FOUR OF THEM AT THE MOMENT BUT THERE ARE ANOTHER 40-ODD IN THE PIPELINE. ALL HIS COMPLAINTS ARE MULTI-ISSUE. IT WILL TAKE UP MY ENTIRE WORKING WEEK TO DEAL WITH THESE FOUR CASES, AND I ALSO HAVE A TON OF OTHER WORK TO DO BECAUSE I'M OFF FOR A FEW DAYS FROM FRIDAY AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO GET IT ALL DONE!!

URGENT WORK FAIRY! WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEED YOU!

I WAS AT A CONFERENCE FOR THE PAST DAY AND A HALF AND I FEEL LIKE THE MOUNTAIN OF WORK AWAITING ME ON MY RETURN TO THE OFFICE WILL BE TERRIFYING! EVEN THOUGH I'M ON TOP OF ALL MY E-MAIL AND THERE ISN'T ANYTHING TOO URGENT IN THERE! I HOPE SOME OF THE LEADS I GOT TODAY ARE LIVE ONES! I NEED TO FIGURE OUT A BONUS COMPENSTATION STRUCTURE FOR 2008 AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW! I AM FEELING SOMEWHAT DISCOURAGED OVERALL! HOPEFULLY TONIGHT'S SLEEP AND GETTING BACK TO WORK TOMORROW WILL PUT ME BACK ON TRACK!

HALF PAST MIDNIGHT! WORKING ON MY FINAL PAPER, BUT MOSTLY JUST PROCRASTINATING. TON OF WORK AT WORK. I WILL GET IT DONE, BUT IT WILL BE RUBBISH. WHY, OH, WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS?

SIGNED, LAST MINUTE MAN

AND I'VE HAD TOO MUCH TEA SO PROBABLY CAN'T FALL ASLEEP!

TPS... BASE THE BONUS STRUCTURE ON SOMETHING FUN, LIKE ROULETTE!

IT TOOK ME 5 HOURS THIS MORNING TO GET EILEEN REGISTERED FOR SCHOOL. FIRST GETTING THE PRINCESS GOING, THEN DRIVING TO BUREAUCRACY NUMBER ONE, LOOKING FOR PARKING, WAITING IN LINE, GETTING PAPERWORK, THEN DRIVING TO BUREAUCRACY NUMBER TWO, WAITING, THEN IT WAS 5 HOURS LATER.

THEN I HAD ALL THIS WORK TO DO AT WORK BUT I FELT AS THOUGH I HAD ALREADY WORKED.

NOW I'M HOME AND DRINKING OVALTINE. THAT PART'S GOOD.

I'M TRYING TO WRITE A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE SO I CAN APPLY TO GRAD SCHOOL AND THE DEADLINE IS TOMORROW AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT IT THIS LATE (AGAIN!) AND I DON"T HAVE ASPIRATIONS! I WANT TO BE A ZARKING LIBRARIAN! WHY IS THIS NOT SUFFICIENT ASPIRATION, AND HOW DO I TURN IT INTO 750 WORDS OF ASPIRATION?

IT'S UP IN THE AIR WHETHER OR NOT I'LL BE COMING TO THE WRITER'S CONVENTION BECAUSE OF MY GRANDMOTHER.
HOW I'VE BEEN COPING IS TO GLUT MYSELF ON MOVIES AND I HATE GOING TO THE REVIVAL PLACES IN NY--IN LA ONE SEES A MIX OF FILM GEEKS, STUDENTS, HIPSTERS, RETIREES ET AL. IN NY IT'S MOSTLY LOGORRHEATIC ASPIES AND THESE VILE SMELLING OLD MEN WHO CAN DAMN WELL AFFORD A BAR OF SOAP IF THEY CAN SPRING FOR TICKETS!
THE CONTRACTOR STILL HASN'T RESPONDED TO MY EMAIL ABOUT THE LIGHTS!

THE GOOD THING IS THAT MY UNCLE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MY BROTHER SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUCH A SHIT TO ME THE DAY OF MY FATHER'S SURGERY LAST YEAR.

AAARRGGGGHHH!!! I HAVE A GIANT ZIT ON MY CHEEK! I AM NOT A TEENAGER! WHERE DID IT COME FROM? IT HAD BETTER BE GONE BY THE WEEKEND OR ELSE!

I PROMISED MYSELF TO GET THIS PAPER (THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR AGES) READY AND SUBMITTED BY TONIGHT. I'M NOT SURE I CAN DO IT.

essexjan: Can't you get an ASBO on this guy or something? Ugh.

FUCKING CEDAR POLLEN

WANT TO BREATHE
YET COUGHING GOOD FOR ABS
DON'T FUCKING CARE

* DOG WIGGED OUT AND HAD THE FANTODS AT 4 AM FOR THE 2ND DAY IN A ROW AND BY THE TIME I GOT BACK TO SLEEP IT WAS ALMOST TIME TO WAKE UP SO I OVERSLEPT WHICH MEANT THAT KID OVERSLEPT SO HAD TO DRIVE HIM TO SCHOOL AND WALK DOGS QUICKLY IN 19 DEGREE COLD AT THE PARK I DON'T MUCH LIKE AND THEN WAS ALMOST AN HOUR LATE TO WORK. HAVE TO WORK STRAIGHT THROUGH 12 HOURS TODAY SO FUCK THAT ANYWAY.

* BF TRIED TO REPLACE THERMOSTAT ON SUNDAY AND FAILED; NOW OLD THERMOSTAT IS ACTING UP EVEN WORSE AND I CAN'T GET TEMPERATURE TO REGULATE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY MORE OIL AND WE'RE OUT OF WOOD.

* TOOK KIDS OUT TO DINNER AT FANCY INDIAN RESTAURANT FOR DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY LAST NIGHT AND CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I SPENT; TERRIFYING, WISH THEY WERE STILL YOUNG AND SATISFIED WITH CHUCK E. CHEESE. ALSO, ATE TOO MUCH.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT FANTODS ARE!

I'M ON DAY 3 OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR BEFORE MEALS AND SO FAR I'M PEEING ALOT, BUT I'M DEFINITELY NOT EATING AS MUCH! IT'S ACTUALLY NOT HORRIBLE, I MIX IT IN WITH APPLE CIDER AND IT TASTES OK.

GOOD NEWS: I PICKED UP LOTS OF DRAWING WORK THIS WEEK SO I WON'T HAVE TO SWEAT BILLS AS MUCH! YAY!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT LOGORRHEATIC MEANS!! BUT I WILL LOOK IT UP AND THEN BE SMART-TER.

I HATE STATEMENTS OF PURPOSE!! THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM TO WORK IS TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ONE'S INNER BULLSHITTER, WHICH IS ALWAYS A TRYING EXPERIENCE.

I WROTE A BRIEF YESTERDAY AND SUNDAY AND I THINK IT KIND OF SUCKS, TWO MORE DAYS TO FIX IT.

I'M TRYING TO LOSE A LITTLE WEIGHT TOO -- SO FAR FIVE POUNDS BUT THAT INCLUDES ONE WEEK OF FLU.

I COINED IT FROM LOGORRHEA. FANTODS. WARNING: AD-SOUND

I BELIEVED IT TO BE HOWLING FANTODS A LA DAVID FOSTER WALLACE.

I HAVE A COHD IN MY HEAD! MY RIGHT EYE KEEPS LEAKING AND I HAVE THE CONSTANT FEELING OF ABOUT-TO-SNEEZE! I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SWIMMER'S EAR! THE KITCHEN IS REALLY MESSY AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD CLEAN IT BEFORE THE GF COMES OVER, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT IF I LEAVE IT AND ACT PATHETIC SHE'LL DO THE DISHES, BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM QUITE FAIR! I THINK I'M GOING TO LIE DOWN AND READ. AND SNEEZE A LOT.

THAT TOM CRUISE VIDEO.
NOT ONLY WAS IT PAINFUL TO ENDURE BUT NOW I FEEL BAD FOR HIM.
HE WILL LOOK SADDER THAN THE SADDEST PUPPY EVER WHEN XENU BREAKS HIS HEART.
