Posted by Keiran in : Me, Memes , add a commentI'm a little bit late, but it's time for an annual tradition for me:
The 2007 Year in Review Survey
I don't mind, I can feel the sunshine March 23, 2007
Posted by Keiran in : Memes, Vacation, Work , 3commentsI am trying very hard today to keep the relaxed going, and not let the ECWFH (aka Evil Co-Worker From Hell) get to me. I told her flat out that I'm not going to come in and clean up HER mess after my vacation, just because she thinks she's "too good" to work overtime. She laughed and told me to talk to our boss. Um. Damn right I will. I had to do ALL the work all by myself for 3-4 weeks. I put in overtime. There's no way in hell it makes sense for her to be able to do the bare minimum while I'm gone and not do OT and expect me to catch it all up afterward. No way in hell.
Over the last couple of weeks, I have had SO much stuff brimming inside of me, wanting to pour out into a blog entry, and yet just no time to stop and write it. But now, now that I have time to take a lunch break and actually write? I can't remember a single thing I was going to write about. Oops?
Vacation starts at 4:30 today, with Emily getting into town tomorrow morning. YAY! We're going to take tomorrow fairly easy, and then Sunday we're heading down to Galveston to play for 2 days. I'm hoping the weather holds out for us, or I'll be mad! We've also go lots planned to do around town for the week she's here. I'm a lil bouncy and she needs to get her soon! hah. Silly having to finish the work day and wait for tomorrow.
Aaaand… I have a couple of meme's that have been sitting in my drafts to post. So I'm just gonna tack 'em on to this post, because I feel like it! ha.
Toll the bell 'cause it's a brand new year January 2, 2007

Yup. But on an outpatient basis only.
6.) Did you encounter the police?
Yes. I flagged some officers down after an accident, while I was on the phone with 911 trying to get them to send some. In hindsight I shoulda let those guys go, and have 911 send me some. The ones I flagged down were jerks.
7.) Where did you go on vacation?
Toronto, ONT. Peterborough, ONT. Los Angeles, Ca.
