Isn't that just peachy?

I know. It's not Thursday. Where the puking pretzel have I been?

I got home Thursday night and had to promptly make dinner for the monkeys. It was either that or let my ankles and knees be gnawed to death. So in the middle of pasta boiling, broccoli and chicken cooking in the skillet, and creamy tomato sauce simmering my husband storms into the kitchen with a scowl on his face. Apparently, the class he signed up for was cancelled without so as a word. In other words, no bloggin. He doesn't know I have a blog and I'd like to keep it that way.

Then on top of all that, Hubby's uncle came over with a copy of an email that his lawyer sent him. The estate issues continue.........which in layman's term means the greedy lepers have been quite busy. Whatever, assholes. Then, Hubby's brother came over at which point wine entered the conversation and the number of curse words increased as well as the noise level. What a bunch of light weights!

Friday night I got home late; about eight o'clock. Now, it's no secret that we have two laptops and a Dell; all are on a wireless network. With all three in the house, I was number 7 in line for computer time. Apparently, the dog and Mommakitty get a better spot in line than me.

I knew that today was going to be busy, too. So I spent most of the morning getting everyone ready for a basketball game and two birthday parties. Now that we're covered in snow and everything is cancelled, I have a moment to breathe. What's strange is that I don't know what to do with myself if I'm not running around like mad.


So, to answer Nikki's question....no, I haven't killed anyone at work yet. For three days in a row I haven't even had the time to go to the bathroom until about three o'clock. I just can't kill anyone on a full bladder. It would take some of the fun out of it. I have been privy to some of the political, gossip-like goings on, though. Really, there's no possible way for me to care any less about that sort of crap, but its a good indication that they're slowly accepting me into the fold. Whoopie. I'll try to contain my excitement.

Which leads me to the question: why are some women in the workplace so mean spirited? Really. The men I have so far encountered are welcoming and hospitable. Not that the women aren't nice, but they are slow to come around and, more often than the men, two-faced. I never did quite get that. Product of their environment? Hive PMS? ? ? ? Don't get me wrong. Men are mean-spirited, too, but they're usually more direct about it is all I'm saying.

Anyhoo, I have to go break up some chaos and destruction in the living room. Monkeys can be so hands-on!!

Women are mean spirited. Usually catty and bitchy and can't find a nice word to say about each other. That's why I get along better with men 99% of the time.

...and the reason why I was so happy to get this job a little over a year ago. There are 3 men and 2 women in that office (me included)...and my boss (a guy) gossips worse than any man I have ever met. I just hate it.

I hate office politics too. Drives me crazy.

I stay in my office. Let them talk shit...I have blogs to surf.

Women always tear down other women. Its the rule of law. Apparantly they think your competing against each other....Competing for what I have no idea.

..tried ALL kinds of nonsense to get her to dislike me.

even if she didnt quite want me for her own. just the attention, thats all. pain in the freakin' neck.

Meow meow...sorry to hear you have been having such a roller coaster of a ride..I hope it gets better.
There is almost no escaping office politics if you are lucky enough to stay out of it like nikki by focusing on work ( blog surfing) ...you usually still end up "BEING" the gossip...so there is no way round it..

take care..i have you bookmarked so now I have no reason to have trouble finding your page anymore.

Quinn you are so right... I am the subject of gossip in the office...but so is everytbody else...there are two people in particular who just can't shut up about other people.

I avoid them...and because I don't kiss their ass...I'm a hot topic of conversation.

Whatever...as long as they don't piss me off...we're good.

You know what? I think I would really like working with Nikki and quinn. I would love to leave that other bullshit behind.

I don't mind talking about what's going on in people's lives. How's this relative or that relative? How's life treating you? All that. But the conniving, mean shit I could live without. Thanks.

BTW, thanks for bookmarking me, quinn. I'm trying to get in my comments as much as possible, but (as I'm sure you are aware) time is always an issue.

MEOW!!

[color=#c28][b]Hi everyone,
I don't know you but I love everything that is new and now it's difficult for me to stay without.
The appliabces that I love the most are the technological things that I can keep in my pourse. As you can imagine my mobile phone is really important in my daily life.
I can't resist to[/b][/color] [url=http://www.ringtonelogo.info/sitemap5.html]polyphonic ringtone[/url][color=#c28][b]. I switch them continuosly so I want a new one, immediately. The good part is I'm a student so my parents pay for them and further to buy a subscription is not difficult.
Gotta go now.
Thanks
