Work went ok today. Even sans Kiki. I have been working on learning this new task so to speak, and it filled up a good portion of my day. I thrive in an enviroment where I am constantly being challenged. Well, this is one of those jobs and I just love it.
The Grinch is getting trouble and doesn't know it yet.
All is good.

The Fastest Way To Ruin Nice Clothes...
Wash them with tinted bronzing lip gloss.
I ruined really nice stuff tonight.
I ruined really nice stuff tonight.
I Can't Believe It...
I cannot believe that I have not told the story about the Nagging Neighbors. They are something else.
So Nagging Nagging Neighbor #1 (NN1) is loud and in your face. This girl has no concept of personal space or boundries. I made the mistake of making small talk with her. Now we are best buds. I cringe. Nagging Neighbor #2 is the poor soul that NN1 managed to get her hooks into. Nice enough guy, but never shuts up. Means really well, but doesn't know when to stop.
One day when I was on the phone with MrsGiggles, and we were chatting up a storm only to be interuptted by NN1. The conversation went something like this.
"Umm, Junegirl, you have been on the phone with me for quite sometime. I know you didn't answer the door. Now, how is it that your neighbor is standing in your kitchen yelling at you for being on the phone? Did she just let herself in?"
"Yes."
Now another day. I had the back door open with a fan in the door sucking in some semi-cool air. NN1 saw me standing at the stove and let herself into the kitchen. 10 mins later she is still there.
One night, she comes over for some small talk (I assumed). 5 hours later, I am still looking at her. Ate dinner with her. Looking to kill her.
One day I am not feeling well, had some dental work done (I told you about that, right?). Well, anyway, not feeling really well because dentists have that effect. NN2 knew I was home, but the blinds were closed and the door was locked. I am laying on the couch drifting in and out of awareness, and all of a sudden I hear the door knob. Followed by NN2's voice. "Is this door locked? Why is the door locked?" OMG!!!
Today, I was slinking out my door to check the mail (I am a sad little person, there was none). And there they were "Hi Nieghbor. Nice hair." (I had just woken up, not pretty). NN1 invited herself over tonight. It's ashame I am sitting here at my Mom's typing this to you.
So I am sure there will be more to this story, as I have a year lease. But now you know what I am dealing with.
*Good thing I emailed a copy of this post to myself at work, it wasn't a total loss then.

I Don't Think You're Ready For This Jelly...
I am feeling zombie-lious (I am it's spelled wrong, and I just don't care).
Tonight, Digi and possibly Squidward and I are taking in a showing of Land of the Dead.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
In other movie news, I finally finished The Talented Mr. Ripley. Strange.
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous: Cute. Nothing is ever as good as the 1st.

The Joys Of Summer...
Hot Dogs, Swimming, Fresh Cut Grass, Lemonade Stands, Popsicles...
It's too bad I am not talking about any of those things.
Road Construction.
A major street has been all but completely shut down for a week, and it's not looking like an end is coming soon.

And I Shall Be Your Juicy...
So I have returned from the land of the Musky. I don't feel like typing the whole weekend out so we will just cover the high points.
1. In a drunken slur, my nickname has been changed to Juicy.
2. It's all fun and games until someone falls in the campfire.
3. It's NEVER ok to blow off your friends who you have not seen in a year for a street dance.
4. When in doubt, the metal end of the marshmallow roaster is hot.
5. When you are giving friends directions, always tell them if there is more than one of the highway the need to take (i.e. County Highways that are lettered).
6. I actually heard the song "Barbie Girl" twice in the same day.
Those are the high (or low, depending on who is telling the story) points, I could go on and on but that's all you need to know.

Blogging Hiatus...
It's Beer o'clock in my world. I will be taking a short blogging break to go camping for a wonderful little event called 'Musky Fest'.
That's right, I am going to Musky Fest. I am not hardly contain my glee. I will be leaving bright and early tomorrow and returning on Sunday. (Not that I can blog on the weekends anyway, and I don't like being a Monday - Friday blogger, now that you mention it).
I am sure that shenanigans will ensue, and MrsGiggles and I will have full reports then.

Sometimes Good Enough Just Isn't...
*bummer alert: sense of failure post*
My mid-year review has again left me feel defeated. I think I do a good job. They constantly remind me that I don't. I tell them I am bored, they say maybe I should just improve at my current job. I specifically say, "This line of work bores me."
"Well, what else are you going to do? Where are you going to go?" I felt like I was being told that now that they have me, I am trapped. And it's always good when they tell you that you have no chance for advancement. And that as long as I stay here, this is as good as it gets.
Just once I want a good review. Just once I want to leave here feeling good about my day's work.
When is good enough, good enough? When is ok to settle? How do you succeed in a small town built for men? How do you find a job that makes you happy? Is there a such a thing as a job that makes you happy? Have I overstayed my welcome? Is it time to move on? How long do you stay in one spot when you know that you have no chance for advancement?
Does anybody know?

Something For Everyone...

I laughed alot more then I expected. Very witty. Lots of chemistry between the 2 (well, duh huh?)

I Miss All The Fun...
I won the sales contest for the month at work, and I got to go out for lunch with my supervisor (which wasn't all that bad) and I got to wear jeans today (for the first time in 4 years). I went for chinese, tasty goodness.
Well, I guess while we were gone, the alarms went off and the cops came. The Grinch had to convince the cops that we weren't being robbed. I miss out on EVERYTHING!
