Insane Random Ramblings

I stayed up late last night watching tv as usual. I think I got less than 3 hours of sleep but I also took a 1 hour nap when I first got home from work. I doubt if I’m actually getting 4 hours of sleep per day. The only thing that helps me get through the day is the radio.

We’re only able to stream 1 radio station with our internet connection at work. Luckily it’s a station that I like anyway. They play all kinds of music from pop to dance to hip hop and r&b. You can hear anything on that station. My favorite thing about the station is that they play skits from the morning show all day long. So even though I miss them in the morning, I can still hear them throughout the day.

If it wasn’t for streaming music, I would literally go crazy.

I was able to access the internet at work. There are a bunch of sites that I’m unable to get to like MySpace, FaceBook and Ebay. I was able to get regular sites including blogs. I came back to work today and everything is blocked. I can only get news sites now. I need something to read during lunch.

I wonder if it’s a corporate block or if someone is turning in sites individually?

In my defense I was sick this entire weekend. My throat was sore and I had a bad cold which has turned into the flu. I took off from work today because I was light-headed and dizzy. I feel a little better now but I should considering I slept until almost 7pm. Yeah I slept that long. I didn’t read any of my books for school and I didn’t go there today either. Now I have to read it because I didn’t go to class and get my chapter summaries.

Man this is turning into a long semester. Luckily for me I only have about 5 more classes.

I’m not worried about the holidays, I’m worried about paying for school. I owe almost $3500 for this semester and I don’t have that much cash. I have to take a loan and pay for the rest in cash. I also need money for books. I’m looking at retail jobs since they’re some of the only people that are hiring this year. With the economy the way it is right now, I’m surprised that they’re hiring at all.

Now all I have to do is figure out how I’m going to work 2 jobs and go to school at the same time.

I’ve been super busy for the past couple of weeks at work. I’ve spent most of the time working on one account. Today one of my coworkers helped me to finally get it in balance. Wanna guess how much it was out? One penny!!!! I spent the last 4 days working on one lousy penny.

I’ll be so glad to get this account off of my desk. I’ve been stressed out and I’ve gone home with a headache for the past few days. It was like there was a pain pump just throbbing in my head or something. I took tylenol but it wasn’t helping as the pain seemed to be behind my eyes. Those are the worse headaches for me.

Now I just have to figure out which papers are important and which one can get thrown out. It looks like there was a paper explosion on my desk!

This is not good at all. Everyone is getting sick at the same time. At first I thought it was just allergies since a lot of people have runny noses. Then 2 of my coworkers said that they don’t suffer from allergies. Ummm, not good for me. I can’t afford to get sick. I don’t want to miss any time from work or school. I still have 1 sick day left but I still have 3 months left. I don’t want to have to use it now if I don’t have to.

I hope whatever it is that’s going around skips right over me.

My job is so boring. Nobody talks to each other and all you hear is the clicking of keyboards all day long. I usually stream music through the internet but the connection has been bad for the past few days. I have 2 MP3 players at home but one needs new headphones. The other I have to totally set up and put music on.

I need to do that today once I get home. Being bored at work is terrible. At least if I listen to music, it makes the day seem to go by faster.

It’s 1:15am and I already know that I’m not going to work today. As a matter of fact, I knew that I wasn’t going to work at 8pm yesterday. My birthday was really crappy and I plan on just relaxing and enjoying Monday. I plan on treating myself to lunch as well. But that’s about it. Even though I do need to do laundry and my hair. But the hair may have to wait until Wednesday. I have school Tuesday night.

But today is all about laziness and watching tv.

Hehehe. That’s what we affectionately call it at work. Every day at 11am I stretch, go to the ladies room and then leave the office. I either walk around the building or I just go to the little store downstairs. The whole thing is between 5-10 minutes depending on whether I stop to chit-chat or not.

I found out today that my boss does the same thing except she goes at 10:30. She knows the importance of getting away and clearing your head too.

If I don’t get it soon, the radio will drive me crazy! For the past 2 days there has been a glitch with the local radio station and I haven’t been able to stream the music. Imagine sitting in a boring office listening to your coworkers chit-chatting. Yuck. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to listen to what my coworkers have to say.

I usually use the radio to drown them out. The past 2 days have been torture. At least I’ll be able to have my own music soon. I just hope it hurries up and gets here.
