My Top 3

Today was my last day at work. I’ll return around May 1st. When boss A was leaving (early, I might add) he wished me a happy New Year and asked when I’m working again. I told him, and he said, “YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BE BACK IN HERE UNTIL MAY? NOT UNTIL MAY?” Which made me feel kinda good, like I’m going to be missed, or he’s not looking foward to working with the people under me. I know what I’m doing and don’t have emotional outbursts, like some other workers. He has a weird way of showing his feelings sometimes. Whatever it was, it was a positive reaction, as in good.

What do you have for New Year’s Eve dinner? We have Chinese food, same place every year. Like most, if not all take-out, it’s good tasting, not good for you. It’ll be like a last hurrah for me with junk food. We bought it yesterday and heated it up tonight, too crazy to get the food on the eve. This way: no lines, no waiting, no price gouging. On the menu-$25 appitizer platter, vegetable lo mein (me), chicken chop suey (my mother), house fried rice, beef with broccilli (hubby).

I slept through New Year’s eve again. After working and dinner I was tired, so I was going to lay down until the 11 o’clock news. Didn’t get up until 2am. Last year I was suffereing through a relapse of bronchitis, so I slept through it then also. This year, I forgot to put coins on the doorstep. You put them out before midnight, take them in after and you’ll be bringing money in the house all year. I guess this year we’re going to be broke.

2007-the year in review:
I realized today that I’ve gone the whole work year (may to Jan) without having to call the boss and tell them I’m running late. I cannot recall having to do this at all this year, although I’ve called S ot CC and told them to stall A or butter him up, but that wasn’t even necessary.

New Year’s Resolutions 2008-
BTW-I have a lot of stuff to work on, I’ve fallen off the wagon, so to day, on many levels. Lemme put it this way-it’s about setting limits, reasonable limits. I can’t live a free for all with sitting around, smoking, drinking, and eating. Notice I didn’t mention drugs? Like pills, a lil speed or diet pill of some sort. Where are they? They have been impossible to get, I think my only avenue would be the good doctor down the street, and I don’t feel like seeing him again, not yet. And the joint and pot under the kitchen table? I forget it’s there and couldn’t be bothered with it. Pot slows your metabolism and makes you hungry.

  • no more McDonald’s, Burger King or other fast food

  • eat vegetables every day, try to get some fruit in, too.

  • try to get on that crappy exercise bike daily, or walk (weather permitting) and GO TO THE GYM on a regular basis, daily, or a couple of times a week

  • don’t drink so much-beer and wine have calories and carbs

  • No more Pepsi!**

  • as much as the job is draining me of my life, I’d like to be a better caregiver for my mother, I need to put the extra effort into taking care of her like I did last year. Be more pleasant. I began to slip off the wagon with that when I went back to work.

  • work on things with hubby. Don’t be such a bitch all the time, spend more time with him, and quality time.

  • get my sleeping in order, no more up all night and sleeping until….uh, late in the afternoon.

    • Some things I’m terrified of “giving up” completely.

  • aim for only 1 cappichino blast crap coffee a week

  • How about cutting down the amount of cigarettes I smoke a day?

  • stop lusting after blue and my girl. Where is it getting me? It’s not helping my marriage. I have also thrown out all of Blue’s out and return slips from work, even the ones I painted pictures on, the ones I tied up with my hair, and I threw out the poem I wrote to him. I don’t even remember how it goes anymore. Something about swimming and drowning in the ocean in his eyes. Corny, huh?

    • Happy New Year everyone!

    **Pepsi, I am back in a nearly full blown Pepsi addiction. When I was the teenager of the house, and up until my early 20’s I drank pepsi like water. Real, sugary, caffinated pepsi. When I was around 25 or so, gave it all up, started eating right and excersizing and dropped a shitload of weight. Didn’t touch the pepsi for years, didn’t miss it either, until this past spring when I returned to work. It started oh so innocently, just one pepsi at work on Saturdays (when I could get it from the fountain), then it was on firday nights, then every day at work, then I started drinking it at home on my days off. Giving that shit up on the first.
