Yesterday was Thanksgiving and everyone behaved themselves. Pretty sad when that’s the highlight instead of the norm. But with certain members of my family, you never know. Despite being a little touch-and-go at the beginning (it being the usual suspect) everything turned out lovely.

Re: the usual suspect, I just don’t get it. You don’t have to be around anyone. You can just sit by yourself and be miserable in your own little world. Your little snide comments and teenager-against-the-world attitude despite being in your 50’s don’t help a damn thing. Or, you can come around, behave yourself for a few hours and leave.

Or, mainly, you could just grow up. Build a fucking bridge and get over it. Why you’re still holding 30-year-old one-sided grudges we’ll never know. But, whatever, that’s your miserable little life. Have fun.

Speaking of fun, I may have to take a nap before today’s round of Thanksgiving festivities. Today, it’s the part of the family I like. Who like each other. ha ha! Even though that miserable being will be here, it’ll be fun. Seems to be easier to ignore it in this house. Even though, inevitably  I’ll get a phone call or text, or be pulled aside during said festivities, so she can point out how utterly miserable she is, no one’s paying attention to me, so-and-so is being a jerk, etc, etc, ad nauseum.

So, miserable little thing, you’re not technically a part of this family anymore, so really we don’t have to invite you anywhere. I mean, really, if you want to get down to it. Suck it up, enjoy your day. Be thankful we still want you around after that one Christmas. (Oopsie!)

Anyway, I’ve already cleaned the bathroom, straightened up, and started a load of laundry. I need to finish making a pumpkin pie and that’s about it, really. Maybe squeeze in that nap, of course. :)

I’ve had a lovely, positive outlook on life these past two weeks. Work life, anyway; not really home life. I’ve tried to make it spill over, but it just wasn’t working. But, now I’m prepared for it to go back to the way it was. That Person is coming back to work after being out with whatever mystery illness she was “suffering” with.

I honestly forgot she still worked there after a few days. ha! I know that’s bad, but she’s just a suck of all kinds, it’s been nice without her around. She’s very self-important and loves to sing all of her non-existent praises. It’s very taxing to be around. It’s like being around my mother. Energy vampires, horrible people, and whatnot.

It’s amazing how much you find you don’t really need someone when they’re not around. I know other people may thing otherwise… But no, Monday morning I’ll walk back into the “That Person and Her Childish Minion Show” (Childish Minion who, surprisingly, behaves herself & throws no fits when her ally isn’t around). 

Whatever. Whatever. Whatever.

I would like to invite this week to kiss my ass. No one major thing sucked; just everything sucked. I’ve had such a horrible week, I can’t even describe it. But, tomorrow is Friday and I get to leave work at 11:30 in the morning. Oh, but I don’t get to go home and get a jumpstart on the weekend. No, I have to go attend some pre-jury duty bullshit. IT JUST GETS BETTER! Not in the mood for any of this.

I’m also still kind of pissed off about yesterday morning. Yesterday morning when I was stuck in traffic & trying to call into work to tell my boss I’d be late. Yesterday morning when no one would answer the phone. Yesterday morning when our receptionist thought it would be a fine idea to stand in our office & run her mouth. Yesterday morning when instead of sitting at her fucking desk answering the fucking phone, our receptionist thought it would be a brilliantly terrific idea to stand in our office and run her fucking mouth about nothing. Nothing at all. But, whatever… it’s over and I’m fine.

At least the racist, bigot idiot hasn’t been at work. Sure it’s because she’s been in the hospital with some mystery illness, but damn if it hasn’t been nice. N I C E. I kind of wish she’d never come back.

Just have to get through tomorrow afternoon. Then the actual jury duty. When I survive I’m rewarding myself because this is not going to suit my raging anxiety at all. AT. ALL.

World… seriously, you can stop balancing things out now. Really. Today was trudging along so well, until about 12:30, when our system went down. And was going to stay down for who knows how long. Absolute balls, man. So, I left at 1:00… not by choice, but whatever. My company doesn’t believe in having a back-up center in our damn city (or anywhere, really), I could do nothing for the rest of the day.

Now, I have to go in for a few hours on my day off. Even when my coworker said she would finish what I didn’t… my boss is an asshole. lol Last time I came in for a few hours on my day off, a few hours turned into damn near all fucking day. I’m not going to be at all pleased if this is the case tomorrow. AT ALL. They will see my asshole come out. Personality-wise, you know… not my actual… yeah.

But hey, coming home earlier today means I got to watch the Czech Republic - Portugal match. So, there’s that, I guess.  

oh my god it’s only tuesday!!!!!

I spent all morning thinking it was Wednesday and was really glad the week was almost over. My poor, crushed little spirit. ha ha! I seriously can’t take the people I work next to anymore. I think yesterday may have been the last straw. All I can do is just sit there and roll my eyes out of my head. Can’t complain to HR because there’s only 3 of us and they’d know it was me. Not that I really care, but I like to make my time away from home as easy-going as possible. So, I just sit there and hone my tuning-out skills. Maybe one day I’ll regrow my balls.  :)

Other than that, it got hot. Like 90°, muggy-ass humid hot. Thanks, South!
