Insane Random Ramblings

Yuck, today was my first day back to work after vacation and it stunk royally. I was tired all day because I didn’t get enough rest the night before. I was also totally lost as to where I was with my work. I had files all over my desk, some because I left them like that when I left and others because they had to find what they were looking for. I spent over half the day reading and answering emails that came in while I was off.

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get back into the swing of things.

I’m taking one now. They’re quick and easy and they pay pretty good too. You don’t always get cash though. Most of the time I get gift cards. But my favorite surveys are the ones where I get frequent flyer miles. As long as I get a deposit into my account once every 3 years, I don’t lose my miles. I can take a survey once or twice a month and earn enough points to get cash out once a year.

Now if only my computer would cooperate and move faster I’d be good to go.

I did want it to be a quiet week but I really wasn’t looking forward to being bored for the whole week. I went out the other day and I massively overspent my money. I bought a bunch of junk really. No not useless junk, I mean junk food. I bought hot dogs, chips, and soda. I did buy some fruit but not as much as I usually buy. It doesn’t even matter that I’m taking weight loss pills because with all of the snacks that I’ve been eating I won’t be losing any weight. Not any time soon anyway. I have to get back on the bandwagon with my exercise and eating program.

Since I don’t have any plans for this week, maybe I’ll plan a menu and actually cook on my days off. Who knows, stranger things have happened.

Man I thought today would never get here. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks at work and I really need the time off. I think it’s because of the fact that I only have 2 weeks worth of vacation now. That’s not really a lot of down time to relax.

Today was also the first day of my vacation. I don’t have anything to do because I don’t have a lot of money. I don’t mind having the extra days to just chill around the house though.

Hopefully my neighbors will cooperate and it will be a nice quiet week.

Cup of Tea

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 years old. Someone had given me a little ‘tea set’ as a gift and it was one of my favorite toys.

I try to put up a new joke every week. Sometimes it gets pretty hard to find jokes that are appropriate for everyone to read. I do try to keep that in mind when posting but sometimes the jokes get a little racy. I try not to post anything that will be blatantly offensive though.

I always find a bunch of funny videos but I don’t know how to imbed them. One is a guy practicing karate and kicks someone in the head. Another is called treadmill gangsta. That one is really funny. This guy is running around rapping, grabbing his chain and acting a fool. Then he jumps on his treadmill and falls flat on his back and rolls onto the floor. It’s hysterical.

I want to eventually learn how to embed the videos cause I think they would make a great addition to the joke collection.

I have written anything in ages and I don’t really want to do that anyway. I’ve tried to write and it just isn’t holding my interest. I don’t have school to distract me anymore which seemed to be my biggest pitfall the last time I tried to write. I really don’t have anything in particular that I want to do either.

I do know that I need something to occupy my time.  

And I’m am so ready for it. I’m exhausted and I really need a rest. I haven’t really had any days off this year except for sick days and the few holidays that we’ve had. I haven’t had more than 3 days in a row off since last year. I don’t want to think about anything while I’m off either. I may do some shopping for Fall and Winter clothes, Halloween invitations if I decide to have a small get together and things like that. I will go visit some of my family but I don’t know for how long.

I want to rest on my vacation and I hate to say it but my family can sometimes stress me out more than my job.

Someone left the following quote on my other blog:

“When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It’s a whole different way of thinking.”

I thought it was a great quote because it’s very applicable to me. I know that I’ve been depressed lately and I’ve had to force myself to not eat. I’ve been tempted to just shovel food into my mouth so it’s been hard to not eat.

I need a outlet to keep my mind busy and keep me out of this funk that I’ve been in.

IDIOT SIGHTING:We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a ‘large’ enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, ‘Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.’ I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, ‘NO, it’s not.’ Four is larger than two..’We haven’t used Sears repair since.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
My daughter and I went through the McDonald’s take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter.. She said, ‘you gave me too much money.’ I said, ‘Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back. She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat
my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said ‘We’re sorry but we could not do that kind of thing.’ The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change..

IDIOT SIGHTING :
I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: ‘Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don’t think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.”
