Useless and Crabby

stayed home sick yesterday... but wasn't really sick, of course. perhaps i was sick in the head but that's not what i said in my eloquent e-mail to my boss. no, i said something about stomach flu and taking in fluids. you would have been proud.

i didn't have access to a flipping computer for almost an entire day. my pc at home has been horribly pillaged while i've been away. oh, yes. my absence has lead to my roomies downloading everything onto it: online casino, porn, home depot how-to's, porn, pictures of donkeys, porn, spyware and much, much more.

my pc was doing her best to keep up with their demanding memory requirements but she has finally had it and now only entertains me with error messages or screen savers that don't function. it's a sad sorry state.

so, i pay for the freaking internet connection. i'm not reeling in the mK, people. i don't like paying for things that i don't get to abuse.

speaking of abuse, i'm back at work today. i look like absolute piss. i didn't put makeup on. i looked at my visage in the mirror this morn and found that i looked ill. so i'm going with that. my eyes are a bit red and my skin is patchy. looks like i had a truly horrendous bout with the old flu bug. it also makes me want to dance around and sing 'i feel pretty'.

mommylap and i are going to paint the town tonight and this truly is making my day worthwhile. she said that she will even be buying me a drink. i would hate to be such easy date but people it has been awhile.

here's the other reason i pulled my sorry keister into the office today. the giant corporation i work for is big on the touchy feely, 'we love our job' bullshit. they are giving us time away from our regularly scheduled broadcasts [read=writing e-mail to each other about how we want to smoke or what we should have for lunch]. we will then have four one-hour practices to learn songs and perform them as the holiday singers.

yes, it's gag-worthy. i honestly don't care. i got a theatre major because i can stomach this tripe. i need a little bit of this every once in a while and with the reduction of mK i have been missing karaoke. this is going to have to be my yuletide outlet.

i'm posting this now before i go into a tirade about the boy. mommylap has assured me that i'm just hormonal and should ignore him for a bit. she's right but that doesn't mean i dont' want to bitch about him. but i'm fighting that urge and posting... so that i can respond to her e-mails instead.
