okely dokely folks. the time has come to move. call it winter migration, if you will.
the movable type is site open for business (or comments as the case may be). the url is www.yapawayjay.us/blog update links, bookmarks, and the like.
there are already some new posts over there and im in the process of importing my blogger archives, although, me amd movable type have a rocky relationship at best.
but, uh, yeah, so head on over there, check it out, and note that until i learn more about mt and its quirks i cant use one of the many other PRETTY templates out there, so bear with me cause its not as cute as this one. im working on it.

Jay: I was sooo bored today.... Audience: How bored were you?!
a quick outline of my day.
8:40 arrive at work, late yes, but no one noticed.
8:45-9 mail out some things left over from yesterday
9-9:15 mail out the daily cards.
9:15-9:50 nothing in particular, answer a couple of calls when crazy talking lady is on the other line.
9:50-10 look up 7 checks for Bob
10-11 data entry in Marge's office while she's at a meeting
11 get kicked out of Marge's office cause the meeting is over
11-12 sit at my desk bored, twiddling my thumbs, chatting with CTL when i can stand it
12-1 provide receptionist relief for CTL, while doing a logic puzzle, finish puzzle
1-1:30 work on another logic puzzle
1:30-1:40ish lunch
2:40-3 do nothing
3-3:05 sit at desk amazed that only five minutes have gone by
3:05-3:15 chat with Crazy Talking Lady

3:35-4:45 do nothing
4:45-4:47 bob wants me to put a $26000.00 hold on an account. I cant because though the available balance is $64000.00, $15000.00 of that is already being held. and another $34000.00 is being floated. (i know, too much info)
4:48-4:54 sit back at desk and do nothing
4:54 shut down computer
4:55-4:58 bid adieu to the mortgage department which consistently leaves before anyone else in the office.
5- button up and walk the mile to the parking lot.
around 3:30 i really wanted to suggest to Bob that he just send me home, at least here there are things i could be doing.
Only two more days until Grendel leaves and i get to do her job again. which will be a whole other can of worms, cause its when i do her job that i stay there til 5:30 and shit

am i the only one who would like to trade my mom for lorelai? not for forever, but just for when i'm living in tv land.
one of the many differences between school and real life:
when it snowed at school, i thought to myself, "fuck this snow shit," and rolled over. apparently in the real world, i only get to think, "fuck this snow shit," then still have to get up and go to work. but dammit, i slowed down. blame it on the fucking snow, i said. i got to work at 8:40. i was early compared to others. i clearly should have gone back to bed for a while longer so i could more fully blame my lateness on the snow.

how the hell did it get to be december? have i really been graduated and by extention unemployed for a full six months? am i the only one finding this absolutely ridiculous?

meanwhile, it sucks to have to select unemployed when filling out registration thingys when i still think of myself as a student
plumbers busy after thanksgiving feasts
am i the only one who read this headline and laughed cause i thought they were referring to the after-thanksgiving day shit? i am? okay, thats fine.
also, as much as i love my family, i have to say, im not entirely sad that theyve all left. its always a little more than i can handle.
i definitely feel like i should have known better than to go drinking with my mother. especially we tried to mask it as "oh we're just going to Friday's to chat and stuff." and when we got there a server was leaving and was like 'oh the kitchen's closed.' i ke[t walking cause i knew we werent there for food but mommy kinda faltered in her step. but i have to give it to her, she got it together pretty quickly. or maybe it was cause i announced, "we're not here for food, but not everyone in our group is 21, can we be seated at a table not and not at the bar?" then the server guy carded us, and she nearly had a heart attack. she was like, "i've NEVER been carded before! are you serious?" she doesnt even have her picture on her license, she was like, 'i'll have to show him my school id..." then i was like, mommy, youre having a tonic with a twist. not a vodka tonic with a twist. youre having straight tonic water with a lemon...what alcohol is in there is card-worthy??? chill out! lol
but also learned that times really were different when she was young, cause she told a story about being 16 at her best friends house, and the mom fixed them drinks and blah blah blah. that was all i heard. what? you were 16 and the mother fixed you drinks? what? no, wait. What? me, you let me dip my pinky in champagne when i was 6 and that was the last time alcohol was offered to me. she tried to defend herself by being like, well the drinking age used to be 18, and they were trying to introduce us to alcohol in the house blah blah blah, and i was like, so what happened, you forgot about that philosophy once you had a kid? cause maybe i wouldnt feel like such a closet alcoholic had you taken a similar approach when i was 16.
my apologies to kat and everyone else. ive been quite the chicken without her head these past couple of days. lots of family, lots of food, lots of laughs. good times have been had. and i did attempt to blog today about how upset i was that i was at work, and clearly i need to be a teacher because like i said before i need more days off. but again with the chicken without her head thing. i told bob i had to leave at one and by one fifteen when i was still there and still trying to finish shit up i said fuck this shit, they dont pay me enough to be this caught up. so i left. not for forever, but for the weekend. i really need to find a permanent job.
but i feel like im blathering and its really 5 am. this might get deleted once ive had some sleep.
