I'm A Weiner!!
Art & Tea had a contest for her birthday and I was one of the random winners of a pocket mirror featuring her artwork (if you haven't seen her stuff, go check her blog and links to her ebay store). Huuzzzaaaahhh!!
My health is better today. Still a little congested but no more post-nasal drip. The cold has made it into my lungs - but only a little bit and I think I'll be okay by next week (knock on formica). I'm getting a terrible headache right now but that's because Facilities randomly decided to repair the light over my desk. It formerly had no lightbulbs and was just right. It now has 3 VERY BRIGHT lightbulbs and I feel like I'm working in a really unflattering fitting room. For the full effect, I should be trying on bathing suits. The head Facilities guy said he'll come by and take them back out for me.
I got home last night and found Mitchell had left all his tools in my side yard. At least he didn't steal my ladder. There were still random tree branches in the front yard and I thought for sure he'd leave them there (that's what he did last time) but he cleaned them up sometime this morning (I assume he was the one who buzzed the door). But the tools were still there when I left - which means he'll be coming by again this weekend. Probably tomorrow because my irritability with people disturbing me isn't quite high enough yet.
Last night I started reading The MANual. Hasn't said anything I didn't already know but did go pretty far in confirming what I already knew about C's behaviour indicating that he was done with me. I don't have a problem with that - other than, as I've mentioned before, the part about being rejected. Mainly because I don't find many people with whom I connect, so losing one of those is really sucky. I anticpate another long stretch of celibacy - a combo of men not wanting me and me not wanting freaks of nature (I'm so picky that way!)
A good part that came from the part of the book that I read (I'm about 1/3 through it) was re-emphasis on the theory that I need to "package my goods" better if I want to meet more men... aka: GET IN SHAPE. So that could be my answer to the Oprah question from earlier this week..."Why do you deserve better health?" A: Because I deserve more attention from sexy men.
No one but me has to know that the last time that happened I became SO confident that I rejected every single man who approached me. When I finally learned to say "No", it seems I couldn't stop. When I was my thinnest/hottest, I didn't have sex even once. Seriously. I was highly resentful that men were responding to the packaging. I think that's the time I abstained for 8 YEARS. I am soooooo F'ed in the head.
Back to the office: The boss is out today. I hope I didn't give her my cold and that she's just playing hooky cause she had a horrid schedule today that she didn't feel like dealing with. That puts the annual reviews off till Monday. No tragedy from my perspective. As hoped, my mentor got hers done already so I was able to use it to draft mine yesterday. Typical corporate BS which, summarized, says nothing more than "she did what she was supposed to do in the time that we told her to do it."
I've hooked a coworker up with some pole dance class options. I can't wait to hear how that goes. She seems like someone I could hang out with - but we don't work near each other so I don't know that we'll ever end up a situation to see if we can be friends.
I tried calling the free Pilates place yesterday but I got an answering machine and didn't feel like talking to a non-human, so I hung up. I still haven't found the business card I was given for a GI specialist. I tried to google her but I'm aparently remembering her name incorrectly cause all I got were referrals to cardiologists.
I remembered a song I danced to at S Factor last sunday... and that I was told it was "Nine Inch Nails, Perfect Circle, Counting Bodies...". That's the third (or more) time someone has said "Nine Inch Nails Perfect Circle" to me and confused the heck out of me cause I didn't know what they were talking about - but I thought I knew most NIN stuff. So I finally looked it up and found out that A Perfect Circle is an offshoot band of Nine Inch Nails. So I had to download their albums last night. Learn something new every day!
Okay, I got distracted and I'm out of ramblings. Time to explore the hood.

Congrats, Weiner!!!
glad you're feeling a lil better! Post nasal drip is so gross. First time I remember having it it made me sick to the stomach, so much so that when the doctor did the tongue depressor thing I had to run to the bathroom to puke and it was all PND. gag.
A very unfortunate situation is that it's often triggered by going from cold to warm... such as outdoors to my car. I've learned to expect it now - but not till I threw up on myself on my way to a dinner party. Had to go back home and to bed. TMI for ya?
