About the work

So, since it's the end of the fiscal year at work, they're cleaning house, getting rid of a bunch of dead weight and stuff.

I've got to say that I'm kind of worried. I mean, it's not like I'm a bad employee, but over this last year I have been involved in some things that aren't exactly the best way to show that I'm actually a good employee. (Namely the several issues, and the new ongoing issue with Abby, my arch-nemesis.) I mean, when it comes to the fact that I'm sick, they can't fire me for being sick, I have a doctor's note saying that I may have to leave work early for medical reason, and every time I've left work, my eyes have been rolling into the back of my head and the CSMs have forced me to leave. I don't call out very often, but when I do I can't move. I'm not abusing the fact that I don't have to work if I don't want to. I volunteer to stay late and pick up shifts when I'm feeling okay. But honestly, I'm worried that I'll do some little thing and get fired because I'm sick. Get rid of the dead weight that can't make it through a shift half the time they're scheduled.

I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything to warrant firing, and their are definitively people who are way worse at their jobs that I am. I do my best with what I can do. Let's just hope for the best.

BOW 11 week 7

Someday I'll have a life worth blogging about, until then, I'll continue living my fantasy life in the Sims.

I've been sick this past week, not every exciting at all, but I almost vomited on my manager during an important meeting which was the only reason I was at work that day. What else... Was Monday Valentines' day? Yeah, nothing happened for that either. I live a sad and pointless life, honestly.

I spend most of my time reading and watching Dexter. I'm almost done with The Once and Future King, I have like 100 pages left. I'm really enjoying it, I don't know why it's talking me so long to read it.

 -insert mildly entertaining story- I was reading on my break at the service desk whilst my manager was on the phone, or who knows what he was doing, anyways, there was this super funny part in the book, then, like, someone was horribly murdered, then more funny, and I made this like, cry/laughing/really awkward noise. I guess that he was the only one that heard it, because I looked up and he was just looking at me with this strangely confused look on his face and asked if I was going to make it. - end of almost entertaining story-

One month from today I will be in a hotel room with Thursday getting ready of the Yule Ball! I still have to take a picture of my prom dress.  That week I'll have plenty to blog about. :D, but until then...

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY
I think I'll post a story next week? Is that alright with everyone? Doing it anyway, but figured I'd ask.

Today is awesome because I have fuzzy pajama pants and Ben and Jerry's

Bow 11 #4 This week, basically, sucked.

I was supposed to be doing overnights (10p to 7a), remolding the store,  but at 9 Monday morning I got a phone call saying "why aren't you here, you we're supposed to be here at 5." I was like "No, I'm overnights, and I went to bed at 6, so there is no way I'm coming in."

So since Tuesday, I've been getting up 3:30 to get to work for 5. We've been redoing pets, TWICE, and other random tasks. I won't get to into it much more because I'll get angry, but basically, it sucks worse than anything I've ever done, and I still got a week left. I am exhausted and greatly looking forward to another week of this crap.

In uncrappy-ness; there was an STF show last night!!!!! I brought two of my work friends. They seemed to like it, hopefully they'll go again in the summer. :) It's hard to explain how much I missed Stranger than Fiction, but I really did. I can't wait for June for weekly shows again.

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY
Today is awesome because I'm still on that STF high, it's hard to explain unless you've been to a show, but I love them so much.

currently reading: The Once a Future King. (if I was working overnights, It would be done by now.)

Hi.

*walks in slowly* *waves* *smiles awkwardly*
I know, it seems as if I've been avoiding you, or leaving you alone for far too long. I'm sorry, but it's November now, and you know what that means? You guessed it I'll be writing blogs instead of my NaNoWriMo novel! Because I'm really bad at not procrastinating.

I'm just over 2100 right now, which isn't too bad for day one. I have to keep on top of this and write extra on Tuesdays if I want to get stuff done, but I'm so easily distracted.

I could stare at that for like, two hours five minutes.

Did I tell you I've started watching Doctor Who? I think most of the people that read this blog follow me on twitter, or know me in real life, so they know, but I feel like sharing anyway. I freaking LOVE this show. I have no idea why I didn't start watching it before, I mean I was told about it when I was in high school, I should have started watching then. I'm still watching that gif btw as I'm typing. 


What has happened in my life since I last blogged. It was my birthday on Wednesday, I'm know the unimportant age of 24, I went to a concert, OH OH OH I MADE A FRIEND!!!! We go out on Thursdays! I have STANDING PLANS. You don't even know. *does I have a friend dance* And she's a nerd, and she loves Harry Potter, AND she watches Doctor Who, although she hasn't seen the any other Doctor but Matt Smith, and I'm not sure if I like him yet, but it's only been three episodes. I'm pretty sure I hate Amy though. We have plans to watch Buffy together, and and and possibly Dexter. I love having nerdy friends. My old friend, she wouldn't have done things like that with me.

I should show you my Halloween Costumes.

Marty McFly

Random Slytherin person Or Ginny Weasley if you're a person who came to the Epping Wal-Mart.

I still need my Harry Potter tickets.

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY.
Today is awesome because I found that gif. OMG.

Books Read 37.
I know I suck, still reading the Book Thief.

Is it too early

To hate my job? Yes? okay, well then.

Today, what's the word, umm, oh, sucked. Idk if you guys have ever done Computer Based Learning Modules, but they are, how can I put this, they should go shoot themselves in the face and then die in a hole. ARG. So boring, and so long. At least I was with two other girls that felt the same way, and I will be with them tomorrow, only this time it won't be for 4 hours but for 7. I can't wait...

Our manager, today was his last day. So we have no idea who we report to, or what we're supposed to be doing after we finish the CBLs tomorrow. Oh, because there's more. But at least we know never to pick up human organs off the floor, and that it's against company policy to walk through hazardous waste spills.

WTfuck.


We are so ill informed about our actually jobs it's kind of sad, but whatever, I feel that the two girls I "worked" or to be more accurate got paid $10 an hour to laugh at a computer screen with will end up being tight. It will be like having work friends! And they're my age too, in the same boat as me, college graduates looking for something to pay off those loans. So that cool. I don't feel like the weird creepy old person.

I'm going to stop complaining about my job that I've had for two days now.



AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY
Today is awesome because NEW SHIRTS!: http://www.annarbortshirtcompany.com/teamstarkid

(ps. when I was leaving for work my Dad said to me: Just remember you work to do the things you want to do, like buy those Star Ranger team jerseys. So close, so close. He tries. My dad only recently discovered that Harry Potter's first name was Harry.)

It's Sunday of Harry Potter Weekend

I spent yesterday not moving and watching Harry Potter Movies on ABC Family, and making fun of them on Tumblr. Today, I'm doing basically the same thing, only I can, like, sit up and not feel like I'm going to vomit.

Later I'm going to be trying to figure out what I'm going to wear on Tuesday, because Tuesday may be the most important Tuesday of my life. And by important I mean, it's the last Tuesday of the summer and I have to talk to Jake Ryan or I will NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN, until next summer.

When did I become that girl? Oh yeah, when I was 17 and started loving him... I am pathetic. :(

I have nothing else of importance to share with you, so I will leave you with this:

I leave you with this. Spencer and Loakie BFFLS

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY
Today is awesome because my tumblr dash is covered with "Hermione is not an OWL"

I'm tired.

Can't I just be a Death Eater?

I'm never tired when I should be, like when it's sleep time, but all day, I will be tired. ALL DAY.

I left my house today! It's a big step into the world of not being a home bound except for Tuesdays during the summer kid. I start my job tomorrow, kinda, I get paid to be there, so I'm pretty sure that's what "starting" is.

What else has happened in my life...

I realized last night that I've been lying to myself and I am not really a Gryffindor. I was never a Gryffindor. If the sorting hat appeared, I would never be able to bust a sword out of it. I am a Slytherin. This was my facebook status, and my Dad commented on it... at dinner. He didn't know what a Slytherin was, so I basically Hermione'd it up and explained the History of Hogwarts to him.

I really need to get out of the house more, and, like, interact with people.  I mean, I've always been the crazy Harry Potter obsessed nerd girl, but I need to leave the Internet. This crappy part time job thing really couldn't come at a better time for me.

I wish I was a better blogger. In reading you guys' blogs everyday, you seem to have a rhythm, I'm just a crazy person banging my head against the keyboard. Sometimes I'm amazed that I've created mildly coherent sentences.

Well, I'm going to sleep now, since I'm tired.

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY
Today is awesome because there is a new Potions Master's Corner video. If you haven't seen them, Google that shit, you won't reget it. Unless you don't like funny things, then it's not as awesome.

Arrg

This week I'm staying at my parents house, which I've finally decided is no longer "home." The apartment is home. I'm here because my mom is having sugery on her thumb and someone has to be around to make sure she doesn't run into things and stuff. I wouldn't have said "yea, sure, fine, whatever" to this task if there wasn't an improv show direced by my High School English Teacher on Wednesday. I'll be going with my old boss from over the summer. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to go to the show, but since this came up, I'm all over it.

Orginally, I was only going to be here for my Dad's birthday, which was Friday, and we were all going to go out to breakfast, which BTW we never did.

I really hate being here, like hard core. It's cold at my parents house, like its February in New England, and it's warmer outside than it is in here. And, although he's kind of cute, my brother's dog is annoying.

I got to spend way too much of my afternoon at the MB, the dreaded horrible piece of a store that I spent 6 years of my life. I have come to loathe that place.

In less "I hate my life" news I have become a Monday in a collab channel. This is the link to it http://www.youtube.com/nerdstothepowerof5 My first video is up now. I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the cast this week (expect Wednesday for I know her). At least there is a little bit of a bright spot in my week, even if its just four minutes a day.

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY

Today is awesome because my cat (Neville) likes attacking my bookmark, which is a picture of Voldemort.

Life Update

Since the last time I talked to you, blank white word doctument page that I'll soon be copying and pasting into blogger and making a blog post. I was about to embark on a media free day. I have to say that it went very well. I hung out with Keith and played board games with my roommates, it was a pretty good day. I want to have more days like this in my life, and fewer spent on the floor at Barnes and Noble using their internet.

I think I have mentioned before that I am writing again. I have re-made my webook page and there will be a link to in the parentheses that follow this sentence (http://www.webook.com/project/From-the-Center-of-Our-Universe-1). I would really enjoy it if you checked it out and analyze the heck out of it.

I have also become a Monday. I know, it's weird, being a Monday. I don't know all the details yet, we're still working on a start date and rules and stuff but we should be ready to go in about a week. I'm excited. It's five girls, including Noelles, who has taken on the Wednesday role of this collab, and three other Nerdfighters from the Ning. I'm excited to try this collab thing again with people I don't know. I loved doing Sassy videos; I miss the days of no stressful Sassy weeks. And I'm hoping that this will work out. We all seem to be really into making it work and getting it off the ground.

When I get more information on the collab, I will update you.

On the job front, things are looking as dismal as ever! I really, really need and want a job. I as much as I love my roommates and our apartment, I want to leave it, and go somewhere else for five hours at a time and bring home money from that place. It would be golden, but alas, the work does not want me. Believe me, I've been trying to get a job like you don't even know.

I guess that is it really. I will be making a YouTube video sometime this week I think. I just need an idea for one. I'll think of something.


AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY


Today is awesome because of the woman currently at Barnes and Noble wearing lime green tights, one purple Chuck Taylor high top and one powder Blue one, a plaid white and blue striped skirt and a plaid jacket.

weird day

Please note that it is currently 7:13 am.

I'm having the weirdest day. I'm in a weird mood where un-funny things are really really really funny.

Example: there was a construction truck on the high way this morning with orange cones on the front, and they looked a lot like teeth. Giant orange teeth on the front of a truck. It was hilarious.

And now I'm uberly tired, which never happens, and considering I went to bed at like 8:30 last night, I shouldn't be tired. Also, my snap bracelet is cutting off the circulation to my hand.

My boss is going to the big STF improv battle tomorrow. When I invited her she was all "won't your friends be there?" And I was like "Yes." And she was all "Will they be annoyed that I'm there?" And I was like "No, firstly anyone can go, secondly I'll tell them who the strange person sitting with us is." And she was all "I don't want to ruin your fun." And I was like "Clearly, you've never been to an STF show, its impossible not to have fun there. Unless that stupid annoying chick that thinks she's better than us and tries to steal our seats when we got there first is there. I do not like her." And she was like "Awesome."

That bit of 12 year old girl recalling a conversation from yesterday was brought to you by how tired I am, and the fact that upside down traffic cones look like teeth.

Also, I've been listening to a large amount of Hanson lately, and every time I listen to them, I feel like a complete failure at life. I'm a year and five days younger than the youngest member of the band. I write illegal blogs at work, and get really excited about Hanson concerts. Where as he is world famous, married with a child, and is in a band. Deanna = failure at life (compared to Zac Hanson anyway).

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY

today is awesome because word green underlined the sentence "Deanna = failure at life (compared to Zac Hanson anyway)." and told me that I was using the parentheses wrong.

I found them

In my blog yesterday, I mentioned that I had lost my paperwork for my internship; I found it last night. I know you were all dying to know. ;)

Also yesterday I disclosed the possibility of a blog about serial killers, well, Noelles chose them as the topic this week, so I'll set up linkage on Friday to the Sassyvlog after I post over there.

I was thinking that I need to make a personal channel video, I haven't made one since like April, not that my personal channel videos are interesting or anything, I just think I should make one. I don't really have any ideas though.

I'm kind of bored right now, and I also don't have anything to do yet, which is always fun. But I also have nothing to blog about except that I found my internship paperwork and we are one step closer to an apartment than yesterday.

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY

Today is awesome because it's Tuesday

I think I should blog now

Hey blog land.

April took a lot out of my wanting to blog, so not that it's 2 hours til June, I figure I should start blogging again.

My life at home if boring, I miss my college friends, but I do have things to look forward to starting next week. The Improv Troupe Stranger that Fiction (STF) starts up on the 9th. Google them, you'll love them.

For STF Georgie and I make a mixed tape (basically) for them because we've been going to the shows for like 6 years now and you can only listen to "Video killed the Radio star" three times in an hour every Tuesday so many times before you start re-thinking be a fan of this improv group. So every week we make our own mix, which is pretty awesome and the group like them.

I should mention that one of the members of this group was our English Teacher, which I think is why they put up with us telling them there taste in music is crap.

I have been put in charge of making the cd for the July 14th show. As you know this is the day before the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And Naturally, Georgie and I are going to the midnight release of said film, dressed the the nines as Luna Lovegood (Georgie) and Ginny Weasly (me). As far as I know, English Teacher will be sporting his Slytherin tie and there will be a could Hufflepuffs in the audience, as well as a lot of really confused old people wondering why half the audience is dressed like they attend a fictitious boarding school in the UK.

This CD must be all Wizard Rock, I mean what else could it be!?!?

This leads me to a dilemma. And that is wanting songs that are not available on Itunes, namely Fred, George and Myrtle, by Gred and Forge and the Moaning Myrtles. Why must this song only be available through a $60 monthly WRock EP from last year?? FML.

I have been putting a lot into a cd that no one is going to hear for like a month and a half. I don't put this much thought into like Christmas gifts.

That's kind of my life right now, I have to got to work early tomorrow, so I should probs go to bed.

and that is the end of the story

Today is awesome because hopefully one of you owns an MP3 of that song. And Really wants to share with me. :)

I wonder if anyone else feels like this?

I feel like I'm wasting perfectly good days.

I mean I was never the run around outside and be happy about it person (Just take the 50lbs I've added since I stopped playing volleyball my junior year of high school). I mean, I like outside, its a nice place, but I'm not a hike in the woods, go play catch with friends, lets hang out at the beach type of girl.

And today it's super nice out, like fifty degrees, and slightly windy, but its April in Maine, it's not snowing and I can have my window open without freezing to death, it's nice out.

But I'm kinda worried that my outside exposure is doing to meals, and class. And I only have class two days a week, and I don't really have to eat every meal. (but then if I skip a meal, I find my self eating TGIFriday's microwavable mozzarella sticks and starbursts at midnight.)

Today my computer, whom I refer to as Ethan, decided he wasn't going to work today, so I had to de-fragment him, which is five hours I could be doing something that isn't looking out the window of my room, watching people have fun. I could, you know, take part in said fun. But instead, for fear of running into the friend that told me to "go away" before the surprise party on Thursday, I stayed in my room. I just don't want to start a fight. Which probably wouldn't be my fault, but still I don't want to cause a bigger riff in our group and make people pick sides. Mostly because I doubt too many, if any of my friends would pick my side because I walked away, and have been the one avoiding the situation entirely.

Normally, I would consider finishing a book in a day an accomplishment, but it's just so nice out that I feel lazy.

I mean, I am lazy, but I don't like thinking that I'm lazy.


I went to dinner early, because I was hungry because I went to Brunch early. But my friends came early too, so I found myself eating incredibly fast so I could take off before anyone else sat down. I know I'm being kind of a dick in this situation, but I don't want to lose my friends, or cause a big uproar on a celebratory weekend, with the engagement and all.

This blog was supposed be about how I should spend more time outside, but it seems to be more about how I'm avoiding my friends... That wasn't my plan...

It's not like I'm deathly afraid of getting skin cancer or anything, it's just that I don't do outdoor activities, and I'm friends with people that spend a good majority of their time playing video games, but I still kind of want to talk a nice walk in the woods, or just spend a day outside having fun. I just don't really have anyone to do this with.

Maybe when the Sassy Ladies come to visit for my play this weekend, we'll play tag or something for hours. I feel that would be fun. I'd enjoy that...

And that is the end of the story

Today is awesome because there were some really cute looking boys working out in the athletic center, and from my window, I have the perfect creeper vantage point. (Oh God, did I really just say that?)

If I watch enough House, I will become convinced that I'm dying...

Well, House and Mystery Diagnosis on TLC.

I normally sleep late on Fridays because I don't have class on Fridays, but after sleeping through a good 7/8ths of yesterday I figured I would watch up at 8 when my alarm goes off. LIES! I woke up at 1:30, because my roommates were blow drying something. (It could have been their hair, but you can never really be sure. It also may have been really big trucks backing up out side, I have a bad ear.)

At about 2, I got a sever head ache and started to eat bread, because that's what I do, and then after talking to Jen for about a half hour, maybe, I went back to sleep, until I realized I was supposed to he helping paint in the lobby.

I took the Barbaloots along (which are 7 teddy bears, and a stuffed monkey).

Tomorrow I'm doing more painting, hopefully less sleeping, and going home with Noelles for Easter.

Hopefully I will get some writing done before brunch. I really need to.

Today was awesome because Video Game Boy accidentally painted one of our Truffula trees pink. :)

I woke up at 4:30 today...

and Only because Katie called me to ask me why I wasn't at the THES meeting. Failure as a president at it's finest right there.

Obvs, I didn't shower, because I woke up at 4:30 and whats the point if your just going to go to be in like three hours and you're not leaving your room anyway, I was going down stairs to get the food I ordered for what I guess would be breakfast in my case, and my video game boy friend stopped me to tell me I looked beautiful today.

I have I didn't shower today hair and was wearing the shirt I wore yesterday and sweatpants with day old make-up on my face. I did not look beautiful. It was weird. but I liked it.

tomorrow I will post a blog with more substance, I'm sort of tired.

Talk to you tomorrow

Today was maybe the most exciting day of spring break

Today, it rained. Like a lot. And I'm not a big fan of rain, but I got a call from Tabby asking me to go the mall with her, so I drove there. And I malled with Adam and Tabby, then went to The Holy Grail with them and Brittany.

And once again managed to do nothing that I was supposed to, except buy paint. Now tomorrow, I have to paint 15 boxes white, and go to the movies (because I already bought tickets) and meet up with Brit at 4ish. AND write my blog on blogs. Oh my life.

This wouldn't be such a sour deal if I like, you know, planned things further in advance, like more that 15 seconds.

EXAMPLE OF MY POOR TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS

Two days ago at work I had a ten minute break, I was hungry and I had to pee. I decided that food was more important than the possibility of wetting myself, so i bought starbursts and ate them outside. I totally could have eaten the starburst on the way or even in the bathroom. But no. I then clocked back in an less than a minute later really really had to pee, like bad.
I know this is kind of a ridiculous story, but it's just so you, as my reader, understand how badly I manage time.

What else is going on in my life...
I need to clean my room. I also I bought the two Harry Potter books I didn't own, the one about wild creatures and Quiddich. I'm excited about them.

I also still have to make my "I'm doing BEDA" vlog. I'll do that on Sunday when I have better lighting, or maybe before I head back up to school.

I still have so much to accomplish and only two days to do it. Where did my Spring Break go??

And that is the end of the story

Vacation

This week there will be a lack of regular blog updates. Ethan (which is what I call my computer) isn't a big fan of my parents Internet. He also over-heats and I forgot my fan so he can't be on for too long.

I wouldn't really have much to update about anyway, I'll be at the super market for most of the week.

I'll be working on my novel all I can and will be posting it over here: http://www.webook.com/project/From-the-Center-of-Our-Universe

If you check it out it will make me very happy.

I forgot I had this blog.

With all the 6 thousand other things I do daily (most of them include sleeping, listening to music, and writing my novel), I forgot I had this blog. I haven't updated my other one like I planned to do regularly either, but I'm working on this. I spend so much of my time writing that one would assume I would be good at keeping a blog or diary as well. Well this is not true.

I've heard so many different writer talk about how you're supposed to have a diary if you're a true writer, but these people also say that one most have a fairly good grip on spelling and grammar to be a good writer as well. I personally think that this is why spell and grammar check were invented. And I've tried hundreds of times to keep a diary and I just end up with a ton of empty fancy notebooks with one or two entries in each.

I'll keep working on it though, maybe having to write down everything I do in a day will make me do more things. After all there is more to life than the fictional world in my head and the collective works of Maureen Johnson and John Irving.

and that is the end of this story
