Hey, all.
1. Sarah's been dropping not-so-subtle hints for me to watch The Office for the last, what, year? Two? How long have I known you, Sarah? Anyway, I still haven't managed to watch it. Clips here and there, and pictures all over the place. And then, last night, we watched a completely ridiculous Will Ferrell movie called "Blades of Glory." And Jenna Fischer was in it, and why did I never really look closely at this woman? She's so beautiful! Look at her!
2. Work is...ridiculous. It's month end. My desk looks like somebody threw a truckload of paper bombs at it. I already mentioned this to Beth, but I've got a folder full of stuff labeled "Miscellaneous Stuff I Receive That I Should Probably Be Doing Something With, But As I Don't Quite Know What That Is, I'll Keep Sticking It In Here Until I Do." Seriously. I took a picture today just so I could show you, but then forgot to load it off the camera, so it'll have to wait because it's just not on my list of priorities right now. Sorry.
3. My calculator - you know, my pretty, printing, amazing calculator that I use at work? It's been buried for two weeks. I've been doing all my figuring longhand because moving everything on top of it is too much to contemplate right at the moment. I realized today how much I miss it. And don't tell me to use a handheld calculator. I can't use those properly, the figure never comes out right for me because they do calculations just a little differently. And I have enough to do without having to reestablish muscle memory just so I can use a damn handheld.
4. Chuck. He's made of win. Nothing makes my heart soar more than when he comes to find me in search of work to do. Especially when he takes the reject reports, which he regards with near abject terror. He LOATHES them and they are always the very last thing he'll take from me. He will completely deplete my keying pile and wring out every last drop before he'll consider taking a reject report. He took half the pile yesterday, which gave me that lovely, giddy feeling because I was backed up into mid-December with them.
5. Michelle gets some major props, too. She's a bit of a problem child in that she's not very good. At anything. But she's been keeping up with her stuff, and has been running out. Because of that, I had to find something I could trust her with so she'd have something to do. And as a result, the majority of my filing is now done. SO. AWESOME.Yes, OK, I get a thrill from people willingly taking on tasks I can't get around to myself. Sue me.
6. Mikey's been pretty good lately, so things are OK there. We're making him read about fifteen minutes to half an hour each night recently. Awesome for me because it means that much more time with no screen on.
7. I still have to go apartment hunting. Suckish.
8. I have been having BATSHIT CRAZY dreams lately. Classic, completely MESSED. UP. Kim-dreams. It's got to be my brain letting go, since it can't do so in real life, during waking hours. Right? Either that, or I should really be committed*.
9. Tired now, and I have to pee. If I think of anything more, well, I guess y'all will just have to wait until I manage to get here and post again, not that anyone's exactly waiting at the edge of their seat to hear about my life...or lack, thereof. *snerk*
*Please don't. Commit me, that is. I really, really don't have room in my life right now to be taken away by the nice, young men in their clean, white coats.

I'm sorry your work life is so stressful! But, it has to calm down soon, doesn't it? Just because it can't get crazier?
no subject
Me too. And it could always get crazier. But it's plateauing (I can't believe that's actually a word) for now, so we'll see how - and if - I adjust.

3. Oh Noes!
6. I am glad to hear that!
7. :( Have you tried Relocation Central or Apartment Search? Our lady said that it is really hard to find apartments right now because of the economy. Did you look at Parkside Estates?
8. We won't commit you *lol*

3. I saw the keys today. *snerk* I'll unearth it eventually, I suppose.
6. Me. Too.
7. I haven't done jack shit yet. I have GOT to get my stuff together. Parkside Estates will be the first place I look, believe me.
8. Oh, good! *whew* *lol*

Weird dreams are awesome. I have really ridiculous ones too haha
"Miscellaneous Stuff I Receive That I Should Probably Be Doing Something With, But As I Don't Quite Know What That Is, I'll Keep Sticking It In Here Until I Do."
I love it :p
I'm sorrry about all the stress at work - but at least some other people did some work for you this week! Hopefully that relieved some stress at least :)
It's too bad you have to search for an apartment. I'm really sorry about that- best of luck.

And my dreams have passed weird and gone straight into psycho, methinks. But you're right, that's often awesome. *hehe* For a good giggle, go check them out in the dream thread on Obliviate. ;)

2. Boo!! Work sucks!! How is it going now? I hope it improves for you soon, honey.
3. Man, I couldn't live without my calculator - and that's just the one on the computer or the one on my mobile phone. Though, doing sums longhand is fun, sometimes. I usually do that when I'm adding up our take out orders! ^_~
Hopefully, you'll find your awesome calculator soon though.
4 & 5. YAY for people at work helping you out. It's great you've got colleagues like that, who'll happily do their bit as well as lightening your work load too.
6. Reading is always good fun. I try to do that with Nathan too (though, it's more me reading to him). It's a nice way to spend some quality time together, and it helps them with school too.
7. How is that going? Have you seen anywhere you like yet?
8. *lol* Crazy ass dreams are always fun! I had one about my nephew last night. In the dream, I was living in my old, old house (where we lived when my mum was married to her second husband) and me, my sister and Nathan were looking after my nephew Ben.
He was only just learning to talk, and when ever we asked him something like "Ben, where is your nose?" he would poin to the appropriate body part, and when he got it right, ask "Presents?" for a reward. Because he kept getting it right, my sister tried to trick him and asked "Ben, where's your voice box?" and he pointed to his throat and asked for a present. But, because we had no chocolate left, I had to go to by bedroom and give him one of my stuffed animals! *lol*
Well, that was a random way to end my comment! *lmao*.
I'm going to comment on your next entry in a minute, and also update my own journal, so I guess I'll be talking to you in a bit! ^_~
Later, Tater!!
XXXXXX
