10:55 am - Shout of Thanks
|
To all who replied, you're the best! I needed to know there were sane, caring, intelligent people out there and you showed me there were! I am so grateful to all of you!!!
Today is a new day and I'm feeling better. The person I was REALLY angry about is actually quitting so I'm feeling a huge relief.
But you y'all...I thank you, thank you!

4:47 pm - Sigh
|
Yeah, you got it. Haven't heard from me in ages and now I'm writing 'cause I'm pissed at the world. When did it become okay to be mediocre at your job and STILL get mad at others? When did it become MY JOB to fix all the problems around here and then fix them at another retail place 'cause THEIR help is incompetent too? God...I'm just fuming today 'cause you know? It takes a while for me to boil so you know they have to be stupid in order for me to reach my limit. Well, today they are that stupid.
Laziness and stupidity are becoming the norm. Is anyone PROUD of the work they do anymore? Please, let me hear from you 'cause I need to have faith (and I know this is the just the group to hear from!)
Uhm, Happy Friday everyone. I work all weekend, hence my NOT being in a good mood. Too many days straight in a row. My apologies to all readers.
current mood:  cranky

From ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fountainal and lady_mishegas.
I want everyone who reads this to ask me four questions. Any four, no matter how personal, dirty, private, or random*. I have to answer them honestly. In turn, you have to post this message in your own journal, and you have to answer the questions that are asked of you.

10:17 am - New Year!
|
Well Happy 2005 everyone! I hope it's fairing well for everyone so far, all 3 days of it. For me, I had the best New Year's I've had in a long time. George and I headed up north with 3 other couples and 2 single women I didn't know and we had a blast. I even held true to my promise of staying in my pajamas the whole three days. I tried putting on pants once, after I actually showered, but it only lasted 1/2 hour. Too binding! We ate TONS (I brought up crab legs that went over very well and George made a fantastic shrimp dish...this along with all the snack food you could fit into 4 cars, a turkey, an entire counter of booze, etc.)
As usual, I didn't want to come back to reality but it's here whether or not I'm ready so I will face it with a smile. The next two weeks at work are going to be busy with a lot of crap so I'm glad I had the chance to relax.
New Year's resolutions? Never make them. I never even say what I want to accomplish. After this many years I can't teach this old dog new things so I don't try. But I guess I always wish happiness and knowledge for the year and this was no different. For me, I want to surround myself with people who make me happy and give me strength and to realize how lucky I have it. No money, no challenging job...but I got a lot of love and smiles. That's pretty damn good in my book. So a big thank you to all of you who are in my life. I love you all!

12:04 pm - Many kinds of Merry
|
Next couple of days will be busy so I'm wishing everyone a big Happy Christmas today. I hope everyone has days filled with love, kindness and general good cheer. And those Non-christians out there (of which I actually am one but I think the spirit of Santa is the best of them all) the same thoughts follow through to you. Hell, it's one time of year when everyone is a little more generous in their thinking. Ain't nothing religious about that to me, just coolness.
also, bookbear and I were talking about authors last night and it made me rethink of Dicken's "Christmas Carol." Yes, we all know it but has anyone actually READ it? The true version? It's Great!
current mood:  crazy

11:48 am - Wonderful LIfe
|
I feel like Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful LIfe" today. I'm not finding the true meaning of things and I'm crabby as all get out and I feel like everyone would be happier without me. No, I'm not talking a bridge...just a month or so away from people. Can anyone be Clarence for me today?

9:43 am - I'm getting it now...
|
I have now come to realize the full power of the Blog! I wrote yesterday saying how upset I was about working on Xmas Eve and you all came to my emotional rescue. What a great feeling! I don't feel guilty anymore and for me, that's amazing.
But an update...a xmas angel came and now I don't have to work the PM shift AND my employee gets off too. Life is grand today. And tomorrow I make cookies!!
By the way everyone: George and I are having a Holiday Happy Hour on this coming Wednesday from 6:00 - 9:00. Pop on by if you can. Write to my e-mail if you want the address: mollyvanderlin@hotmail.com. It's gonna be festive!
current mood: chipper
current music: White Christmas

1:58 pm - Sucks being boss
|
For the first time in a long time I'm actually trying to pull rank and being manager. I am scheduled to work Christmas Eve from 9 - 1:00 (this being the 5 xmas eve in a row I've worked.) I was SOOO excited to get out of there by 1:00 because normally I'm out at 6:00 on the Eve and I show up at my families and everyone is drunk already. Lovely. Especially for me, who doesn't really drink. Anyway, one of my High School employees, who is typically very loyal, had a change of family plans and would like off that day. If I give it to him that means I have to work. I pulled rank, told him no. I feel so lousy about it. It really sucks. I try to be a good manager and give people fair and reasonable things but now, when for the first time I'm putting MYSELF first, I feel like crap. Managing sucks.
current mood:  guilty

11:07 am - Look at me...
|
I feel so computer savy now...radio_redhead helped me out with icons and stuff today and I now feel like I have a personality. 'course, I have nothing to say but let's not expect too much from me all at once.
I do want to give a big thank you to everyone who went to see "Wanton Joy." It closed last night to a great house and I'm sure word of mouth had a lot to do with that. Thanks everyone! George was sooo happy!

When you're sick you're suppose to listen to your body, no? Then how come mine is telling me to eat more chocolate and donuts? Yup, that will help that sore throat.

Okay, here's my first entry. I feel a lot of pressure...but then again, knowing most of you out there are so supportive I guess I can write dribble and still feel okay about myself! I'm actually feeling like crap today so I'm not going to write much but I wanted to let you all know I'm alive, well and excited about blogging (and also learning all the #$%*& lingo behind it!) Also...only 11 more shopping days everyone.
current mood:  crappy
