I was going to make dad's pumpkin pie today but I neglected to have enough butter thawed to make the pie crust. Alas, I will have to make it tomorrow. And another chocolate pudding pie. Why not? I'm going to have plenty of pie crust (the recipe makes enough for two) and all the other ingredients. Sounds yummy to me!
It stormed last night pretty bad. I heard there was a tornado in Henderson, KY. My old college roomie is from there. I didn't realize it was that bad. Just really windy here with a lot of rain. It is still windy today. Strange because the air is still warm - it doesn't feel like a front has moved thru.
I've been slacking off on the violin practice but picking back up on the drum. I can make some decent noise on that thing. Been playing just random rhythms - making up my own. Rather soothing actually.
The skating is going ok. I'm still sore from practice. Stupid me didn't stretch out afterwards so I got stiff. Ugh! Like I said on Friday I wanted to hit the rink then but there was no ice. Maybe I'll go tomorrow at lunch or after work.
The quilt is still taking up most of the floor. I need to finish tying the thing off and just get it outta here. So I can start on another one. Lord knows I've got more than enough fabric scrap to make like 4 more! Eeeep!
This getting dark at 6pm crap is for the birds, you know? It just sucks. Feels like midnight. And it will stay this way until about February. So bogus!
I'm not looking forward to the holidays at all. The older I get, the more scrooge-like I become. It just gets crazy. All the crazy people swamping the malls, clogging up traffic. It's such a hassle. I'm so glad when it's over.
Don't get me wrong - I like seeing everyone in the family (we don't do enough of THAT, IMO)- but I HATE the commercialism of the whole thing. It's just depressing and annoying. The weather doesn't help, either.
Been doing some thinking about various things. Mostly work. I've decided that the reason I hate this damned job is because of all the idiots I have to deal with. Of course, there is a fair share of idiots in any job but I'd rather work with THINGS than people.
So I'm going to apply for something where most of my daily contact is with lab equipment, a machine or something other than a human being. Those ass kissers and brown nosers and hysterical morons just get on my nerves.
And imagine that they don't want to know how stupid they are! Well then don't fucking ASK me to tell you what I think. DUH! Do I think you're an idiot? Yeah. Next question. Geez!
This weekend I got to see a couple of friends I mine I haven't seen in ages. We talked for quite a long time. It was great! I certainly hope they are around more. I really miss them.
One of them said "no one actually LIKES working for your company. Everyone I've asked has said they hate it for the same reason you do. But they all stay because of the benefits." It's disgusting, isn't it?
I sometimes wonder how we can stay in business with the friggin' idiots running the show. It's got to be one of the great mysteries of our time.
Fear not - once I'm outta there I'm writing a tell-all book so everyone can see how fucked up they are. I think a lot of people would be surprised. Or maybe not. The bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe. Sadly.
