Today is the day before Thanksgiving so we get some special priviledges. First, it’s a totally casual day so we can wear jeans. We also get to leave 2 hours early as long as all of our work is done. You can bet I’ll be pressing to get everything done before lunch so I can leave.
As an added bonus, my manager is off until Monday. Sweeeet!
Work sucks. I asked my manager about my promotion. Basically, they’re playing me off. I think they’re trying to keep me at my lower level as long as possible. I wouldn’t be as ticked off if all of my other coworkers hadn’t been promoted already. I’m the only one still at the lower level. Did I mention I’m looking for a new job. No. Well it’s official, I’m looking for a new job.
Then I came home and my brand new kohler faucets in the bathroom are dripping. Luckily the maintenance man was still here so he could look at it before he left.
Then, I tweaked my ankle while doing my exercise program. I stings but not hurts. I’m still gonna work out though.
I had to throw a bunch of stuff away. Old conditioner and lotion. Some skinceuticals, some samples of Dove face wash and a bunch of other stuff. I need to start using that stuff. It’s expensive and I’ve let some of it go to waste. I do not have money to waste. On a side note, by cleaning out the hall closet I realized that I had enough room to go out and buy some new towes. Some of the ones I have now are pretty worn out. Target here I come.
I was browsing around on one of my favorite forums today. One of the regular contributors is the blog of the day. She has a very distinct write-up about herself on her blog. Someone was surfing on another persons blog. They have the exact same write-up practically word for word.
The only difference was the blog name and the city where they live. How do we know the 2nd person is the content thief? By the post date. It’s a relatively new post whereas the other post is way old.
It’s hard enough finding blog topics and articulating your thoughts. Then someone comes and steals your words. To make it worse, they both frequent the same forum!
Happy birthday oldster. So what you’re still younger than me, today you enter into the age of old.
Once a year we get a chance to change our benefits at work. I have Aetna because UPMC isn’t available through my job. There aren’t really a lot of choices. I have about 3 companies to choose from plus my companies own plan. Their plan sucks, they don’t cover anything. Even the co-pays are high.
I had to weed through the different plans to get what I really needed. I mean I don’t have to worry about drug rehabs, but I do need my annual exam, eye exam and the dentist. Plus my annual “womanly exam”, which I hate with a passion. They great stir-rups roundup is what I call it. Anyway, I also want a plan to keep my copays down. My company is $15 per doctors visit, which isn’t too bad compared to others. My cost is about $25 per pay. Better to pay that than risk having no benefits.
My computer desk is a mess. There is so much junk on that thing. I went to clean it mostly to get the dust off. So I start moving stuff around and I found stuff that I totally forgot that I had. I found a gift card, one of my gold chains, and $20 bucks.
The gift card is awesome because it’s for Target. I can go and buy a new pair of shoes. I looked at the heels of my everyday shoes and they are rubbing off because I’m so hard on them. I noticed that last week when I looked at the bottom of my shoes. I mean really, who looks at the bottoms of their own shoes? Well I did and I wasn’t happy with what I saw. This gift card will definitely come in handy.
My hair that is. I just wrote the last post debating whether to dye my hair or not. I love the color of my hair and don’t want to lose it but I can’t replicate it with dye. Well I found another gray today and I was pissed!
I wear my hair in this curly ponytail clipped up. I walked into the bathroom at work and saw this white piece of string in my hair. I started trying to pull it and noticed that it wasn’t a piece of string it was one long gray hair. It was the same length as my natural hair which is pretty long. I’m definitely finding a good dye for my hair.
My hair that is. I usually just pull my hair back into a ponytail and not worry about it. Today I actually parted it and made it two pig tails (I didn’t have to go out in public). I grabbed one of my makeup mirrors to make sure my part was straight and what was the first thing I saw? Yup, a gray hair. Arggghhhhh!
I knew I had gray hair. I usually pull the ones in the front and on the sides out because I can see those. The ones in the back I usually don’t worry about because I can’t see them. But I know they’re there and I hate it. So do I dye my hair or not? I’m not sure.
I love the color of my hair. It’s a sandy brown color with these red highlights. If I don’t put any hair care products in my hair, it’s more reddish looking. It’s not like I can replicate that with dye. I can go a little lighter or a little darker but I don’t know what it will look like and that scares me. Then again the alternative is the gray. Yuck. I guess I’ll be looking at dye soon.
I hate overtime games. It’s so arbitrary. First team to score wins. Blah. The Steelers allowed 7 sacks of Ben today. That’s ridiculous. This whole game was ridiculous. The team played sloppy on both sides of the ball. Now we’re tied with the Browns as far as records go but the Steelers hold the tie breaker.
