Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home.... *cough*

Manick -- I forgot to tell you I finally rented Burn After Reading. I can totally see why it wasn't everyone's cup of tea but I LOVED it and so did my husband. When George Clooney storms upstairs to grab his wedge and then storms out of the house I thought I'd pee my pants.

Pats herself on the back for knowing you'd like it. I thoroughly embarrassed my husband by snorting and cackling in the theater like a maniac. I will have to get the DVD and watch it again.

Going off to do kegels now before it arrives.

Thanks for the reminder to put it in my queue.

Guffaw! that made me have to kegel

I LOVED Burn After Reading. So glad I went to see it in the theater. Flippin' hilarious. But like you, can totally see why it wouldn't catch a huge audience...


Am now trying to go see a little 2bdrm house to rent (a whole house!). Cheaper than my current place because it is not so close to the University, but closer to downtown (where I work). Talked to leasing person and I think she explained the fees pretty well - going to go ahead and list my current place. Hopefully I can get someone else in it myself, that will lower my financial liability, and I can move scot-free.... Fingers crossed.

Whine or no whine... I'm ****ing pissed.... for two reasons.

First... I'm in the middle of trying to get these freaking tax papers off my desk and I find out that the ***** that used to run the books purposely lied to me and said that I was filing all of the quarterly forms properly even when I asked about the 8109/940 form that I wasn't filing quarterly at one point. She said "You file that at the end of the year." So I was filling in the 940 for 2008 and realized that I had no clue how I did it last year so I look back in the files and tried to figure out why the year end payments were so low prior to 2005. Um yea... you are supposed to file an 8109 quarterly. ****! <<< thats in all caps So now the company has paid a total of $350 over the past two years for FUTA taxes at the end of the year when I could have paid it quarterly and saved myself the "WTF is this tax for?" conversation this January and last. *GRR!*

Second, the company I work for is DBE so we have to renew every 4 years. Well being as I've only worked here for 5 now, I was unaware of this before my moronic bosses decided to fire every person I could/should/would have asked about it! So I get a call last August from VDOT saying we've expired and I pieced together what I thought was right and sent it in in September. Its now January and we haven't heard anything. I call and get voice mail after voice mail and finally this guy calls me back and says we've only submitted at sWaM application and not a DBE! OMFG!!!!!!! So I ask wtf it hadn't been looked at, why we weren't notified and why we never got the memo to renew our DBE prior to his May 1st 2008 expiration date. Well apparently the program papers (that the company got in 1981!!!) have all the renewal and what I need to do info. Wish I had that in my hands now.

***Face smash keyboard***

So now I'm going home royally pissed and I don't want to cook dinner yet again. I want to sulk in misery instead. And of course, like clockwork I'll take my rage out on Daniel and that's going to be a nightmare.

the.end.

Jaime--you totally deserve a break.

Chelle--that is a crap sandwich.

Chelle -- that is the major suckage. I'm sorry.


I am attempting to book a hotel in venice and suddenly I discover that don't have the authority to do it. Meaning my husband wants me to do all the up front work (research, reading traveler reviews, price comparing, etc. etc.) but somehow then I should ask for approval when I've made my decision. Frickity frick frick, or should I say figlio di puttana.

After my soon to be craptastic dinner, I'm getting on the treadmill. It's the closest thing I have to a punching bag. The past two days... Ultimate suckage

Jo, if you are going to Rome this trip, PM me. I just got back from Rome and can give you some info on a decent affordable hotel, a don't miss 10 table restaurant you won't find in a guidebook, and a reservations only museum with the most unbelievable marble statues.

Chellez, that sucks!! I hate those types of irritations! Like why don't people just do their d*mn jobs instead of collecting a free paycheck!

Chelle - I feel for you. Good for you getting on the treadmill!

Just had an 'eh' red curry. I am generally unimpressed with the curry pastes I bought - maybe I am not preparing the correctly, or they REALLY need full-fat coconut milk. Very bland, uninspiring. It was better than last night's dinner and I will be taking it for leftovers tomorrow but will not make again until someone hands me the magic key to unlock the secret of a good thai curry...

don't congrats me yet. I'm missing an ingredient for dinner and I'm tempted to make friends with with the vodka bottle.

****ing A.... As I was typing we just had a huge branch fall out of our tree and shatter one of my front storm windows.

Of course it doesn't help that I said the f word right before Christ when I was on the phone earlier. My number is up, I just know it

That totally sucks about your window.

Preschool is getting in the way of my computer time. Reason # 29328 to homeschool.

Weekly calories averaged 1809. I think that is a great start for me to 2009.

Exercise sucks. I was trying to do WATP but now my foot hurts again. I need to scrounge up the money to see the chiropractor.

Chell - wow that is the suck! I hate those sort of days.

Heather - you are motivating me to do some yoga again, yeah it's not a step aerobics session but any movement is better than none. I could totally use a the stress relief right now.

Me - I have continued to stay away from french fries and cookies and I am feeling better about myself for it! I made some baked fries the other day and those were great.
I stayed under calories for the day at around 1500. That's great but not getting a lot of movement in.

Man you *****es talk a lot of **** when I am at work.

okay I'm going to bed. Hopefully tomorrow is better!
