Well That’s Just Stupid

The other day I was listening to this morning show on my drive to work, and I was reminded of why I do not listen to morning shows anymore. Because the hosts are morons! Gah. Luckily I have satellite radio so usually, it’s Book Radio (shaddup, I like radio plays and audio books in) or whatever random music I feel like listening to. ANYWAY. I happened to find like…the one stupid morning show available on satellite radio and they were talking about how OMG Jessica Biel wasn’t wearing her engagement ring!! THEY TOTALLY BROKE UP!!!!!!

Now granted, the one chick on the show is engaged so to her it’s like…the world is in that ring and if she takes it off then the world will END. She was absolutely shocked that one of her cohosts takes his ring off as soon as he gets home every night.

Right about then was when my eyes starting rolling around in my head spasmodically so I changed the channel because I didn’t want to crash my car. But come on, people. A ring is just a ring. Taking it off or hell, not wearing one at all does not make one suddenly be UnMarried. For crying out loud, my “wedding ring” that I’m wearing right now is the third or fourth version I’ve worn, and my original band gets worn on the middle finger of my right hand now since it’s too big and I don’t want to size it down because that would mess up the engraving.

But I walk around without my ring on all the time. I’m sorry, but I’m not going to go workout and lift dumbbells and do pull ups and shit with my ring on, because what if I drop a weight on my hand? Also, rings mess with my grip and that’s just annoying. Kevin takes his off every morning when he’s doing his hair since he doesn’t want to get hair gel all over it. Maybe Jessica Biel just wanted to go out without being paranoid about losing the big giant stone in the ring. Or maybe she was making meatloaf and decided to take it off so it wouldn’t get dirty and forgot to put it back on. Sheesh.

Blarghity blargh (and also blargh)

The holidays may be over everywhere else in the world but not at my house. This is depite being off for the entire week between Christmas and New Year’s, because I have enver taken my lights down before New Year’s Day. And this year I had a champagne hangover on New Year’s Day so quite frankly, it was a victory to even put on pants, much less put away decorations. And then I got back to work and it was all “OMG INSANEPANTS CRAZYBUSYWOOOOOO” and then I ahd to go to Palm Springs for this management retreat we had and then I got sick and laid on the couch for two days with fever driven hot flashes.

So yeah, this may very well be the year when Kevin and I become “those people”, the ones who leave their Christmas lights up all year round. Hell, the tree is a tiny pink one that will be easy enough to redecorate with each passing season. Hearts for Valentine’s Day! Shamrocks! Easter Eggs! Etc and so forth!

Oh god, just the thought of that is making me itch. That shit is coming down this week if it kills me.

In other news, I am supposed to be writing my performance review right now, instead of writing this entry. It was actually due last Friday so I guess I’m already going to be dinged 5 points or something for that but hey, you pull me out of the office to sit and take notes for you for 4 days, you get my review from me late. On the good side, they (I) actually revamped the evaluation form this year so it’s not a worthless piece of crap. Our old version basically made employees justify themselves and their jobs and encouraged supervisors to be hypercritical of their employees. Oh, and there was absolutely no measurement of goal completion or even a MENTION of goals. Basically, it was the exact opposite of everything my Compensation professor said a good review form looked like.

I am supposedly being put up for a promotion since my current title doesn’t really convey my current position as well as it could. And also, Office Manager/IT/Facilities/Project Coordinator/Contracts Administrator/Webmaster doesn’t fit on my business cards AT ALL. We’ll see how that goes.

Work in Progress

Hey hi!  Starting over.  Watch this space. Etc, etc, onward and upward and so forth and so on.

Soon, I promise.
