I am more enraged and disappointed that I have been in quite a while...

You also need a hug, a margarita, and a kitten.

12/17/2013 10:13:57 PM

THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE ALL COMPLETELY TRUE

[Edited on December 17, 2013 at 10:20 PM. Reason : As long as it's a really really strong Margarita]

12/17/2013 10:20:25 PM

That is my prescription for everything. Works most of the time. We can put a kicker shot of tequila on the side.

12/17/2013 10:22:37 PM

Allahu Akbar!

My grandfather passed Monday. I'm sad, but mainly for my dad. It was sudden, heart attack, but he was 89. I wasn't super close to him; he was always a pretty particular and reserved man. Aside from my in laws and now this post, I haven't told anyone he died. My cousin is supposed to get married this weekend so we're trying to keep things happy for my Nana and celebrate that. The memorial service (cremation) won't even be until the new year with all of the holiday stuff and it's the first weekend the minister my nana wants is available.

I feel there is something wrong with me because I'm not broadcasting his death to everyone (except you people where minus a handful I don't know you all IRL). Even calling and telling my mother in law yesterday felt weird. Haven't even told my best friend.

This is not how I thought the death of a grandparent would go. I've been lucky to have had all 4 until now. But I thought I would be more sad.

? Ramble ramble ramble

It is a really busy time of year. Give yourself more time to process before you start dissecting your feelings. The emotions I felt with the last death I experienced surprised me, too. It wasn't until weeks later did I feel what I thought I should have been feeling the whole time.

My brother's girlfriend is throwing a giant pity party on Facebook because her 17-year-old son is going to be gone from tomorrow until January.

12/18/2013 8:37:51 AM

Sorry to hear lk


Also, I was doing an email compliance course for work and there was this hilarious scenario where Jim bob was on the phone and got a pop up gift box in his email. Since he was distracted by the phone he clicked on it and a picture of Shakespeare with the words "goodnight, sweet prince" showed and is computer was wiped clean. Made me think immediately of tww. Ya rotten bastids.

My mother's father was gone before any of us were born, my father's father passed when I was about a year old, so I have no memories of either of them. My mother's mother passed actually pretty shortly after my mother's brother, but I had almost no relationship with her past elementary school... she lived in Austin and I hadn't seen her in years, we had very occasional generic phone calls, but she was sick often, so I wasn't completely surprised. Distraught because of the passing, yes, but not surprised.
My father's mother is my only remaining grandparent, and... admittedly, I feel like I lost her years ago. Through college her dementia has worsened to the point of she has no idea who anyone is anymore, she used to at least recognize her children. I have no idea how I'll feel when she passes. I don't handle death well, but I suppose it'll at least be less of a struggle for everyone? She's not even going to come to my brother's wedding in a few months.

There's no better feeling than your first full year at your current job, you hear that the "bonus checks might not be as good as they were last year, but should improve next year" and ends up being double what you had thought

12/18/2013 2:27:56 PM

Today is one of those days where I am absolutely freezing for no particular reason.

12/18/2013 3:29:51 PM

It is new furniture night!

12/18/2013 4:59:43 PM

I've been super anxious for the past two days. Is someone drugging me?

12/18/2013 5:04:19 PM

^ or maybe someone needs to drug you?

12/18/2013 5:06:22 PM

Probably not a bad idea.

I need to go back and relive the weekend before last. Thinking about that isn't helping.

12/18/2013 5:07:26 PM

24 hours til vacationnnnnnnnnn

which means tomorrow is going to be crazy busy trying to get everything done for the next couple weeks

12/18/2013 5:45:02 PM

Where are you going on vacation?

12/18/2013 5:46:46 PM

anywhere but work

i guess it's a stay-cation really

12/18/2013 6:34:30 PM

Awesome.

12/18/2013 6:37:13 PM

New furniture on Saturday! Eeeeeeeeeeee!

12/18/2013 6:58:25 PM

I'm feeling down today.

12/18/2013 7:29:38 PM

^^will you get some for me, too, please?

12/18/2013 8:51:25 PM

You can have our old stuff...but it is not so good.

12/18/2013 9:00:02 PM

I now have a bed which consists of a mattress on frame like an adult. I will soon have an entertainment center again with a tv and surround sound. Gosh, after that we might even have a clean kitchen and put some of these boxes into storage!

Moving in sucks when you're trying to work a second job and hang out with your friends on the side.

12/18/2013 9:50:24 PM

Being single is weird...it's resulted in me finding the best new friend I've met in years but also dating is stressful as shit

12/19/2013 1:08:47 AM

I fell asleep on the couch and my ear was apparently folded over under my head. Ouch.

12/19/2013 1:42:27 AM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the fuck did you say about me??!

12/19/2013 1:48:20 AM

That...is a lot of arrows.

12/19/2013 1:57:34 AM

I can't turn my brain off.

12/19/2013 2:50:30 AM

*Me either. I'm going to pay for this tomorrow.

12/19/2013 3:08:15 AM

Luckily I dont have to work tomorrow, but I would like to keep a regular sleep schedule for as long as possible.

12/19/2013 3:31:01 AM

my sleep schedule successfully wanders

12/19/2013 3:38:16 AM

Only two more days...two more long long days.

12/19/2013 8:06:45 AM

i am so damn hungry but I have to fast because i have a damn dr's appt today. ugh. (first world problem?)

12/19/2013 8:27:37 AM

I cannot wait to get out of this place. fuck a 30 day notice. I should have quit at thanksgiving

12/19/2013 9:42:00 AM

Do they "require" a 30-day notice, or did you just feel like giving one?

12/19/2013 9:43:17 AM

Apparently it's on the contract I signed I didn't realize it until I told my boss I was leaving last week. I had wanted my last day to be Dec 27th, but he wants to maximize my time here as much as possible so that they can get a functioning replacement trained. So now my last day is January 10th and my start date is January 13th.

It's a bit frustrating because I dont have a plan for where to live from right after christmas to when I move to the new job. My parents are moving and the house will be empty so I guess for two weeks it will just be me, my cat, a litter box, a floor and some blankets.

always good to know what that contract says

in other news theres a remarkable amount of jewelry popping up in what amazon prime is suggesting....

12/19/2013 10:08:36 AM

^ Speaking of Amazon. I joined Prime because I realized that I used Amazon a lot this year and could use the faster shipping. However, stuff on that website is hard to find. They could seriously use a better search function.

12/19/2013 10:23:37 AM

really? i find amazon to be the simplest site there is. i've never had a problem finding anything.

12/19/2013 10:27:44 AM

sometimes it throws things out in a weird order, i think it depends on what terminology you use to search for items though.

i was looking for footie pajamas yesterday and they were showing slippers at top

12/19/2013 10:29:10 AM

Ask Fareako about the empty house and cats thing. He did the same thing after the movers took all our stuff from Florida and I was already gone.

^ I have that problem too. If you are looking for an exact thing where you can put in a model number or something it's easier to use than if you are searching for a generic term.

[Edited on December 19, 2013 at 10:31 AM. Reason : Amazon]

12/19/2013 10:30:18 AM

They have adult sized footie jammies at target. Also, forever lazy. Google that. Butt hatch and everything.

12/19/2013 10:30:53 AM

I found them, they're not large enough
