Not a good way to start the day
I slept late. Actually, that's not entirely true. I woke up on time, took the dog out, and got BACK into bed for another 20 minutes (though I didn't really sleep during that time). Once I finally got up and dragged my lazy ass to the shower, I realized that I have a "networking event" this evening and I have to look like an adult. Damn. After going through half my closet and realizing that none of my clothes are any good and none of my clothes fit me, I FINALLY found a suitable pants/shirt combination. Sliding on not-good-for-walking-to-the-bus heels, I took off, 20 minutes late.By the time I got to work, I realized two serious blunders I had made.
1) I could have been one of those dorky people who wears tennis shoes to an from work and changes into nice shoes AT work. But, I didn't think of this, and in my mad dash to the bus, I gave myself two lovely blisters. Now, I'm a grown up with bandaids under my strappy black shoes. Super.
2) As I was trying to be an adult, I decided to actually put on perfume this morning. Somehow, I had misplaced my normal bottle of it (which I end up using all of 4 times a year). BUT, I had a little sample bottle I had gotten for free in one of Clinique's many free-stuff giveaways.
Too bad it was not my perfume. Too bad I DON'T LIKE THE WAY IT SMELLS. It's actually been making my eyes water all day (and I didn't put on much at all!).
So, my feet hurt and I smell bad. Yeah, I'm totally ready to network!!!!
Today's random list: People I feel like throwing today
(related to this: I just read this past weekend that individuals whose job it is to be the projectiles in midget tossing often make six figure incomes - if only i was just a LITTLE bit shorter...)
-- people with a fashion sense
-- people who like their clothes
-- people who wear heels and claim that they are COMFORTABLE
-- people who eat salads while I neurotically chomp down nutter butters
-- people who can use the term "networking" without laughing
-- people who are not working right now
-- anyone who laughed at me because I STINK today

Now, now...you don't have to be shorter. You can enter into the 2-Person Midget Toss where Jon grabs one arm, someone else grabs the other, and then toss. It's simple, but takes practice. Sorry your day sucks.
do i get to wear a helmet?
thanks-my day ended up being pretty decent. I got free pizza for lunch and free appetizers from a fancy hotel for dinner. free food is always good.
mmmm nutter butter..... I just had to write to tell you that I had a key-lime white chocolate almond joy today. now that's a good neurotic mood-food
make it regular (not white) chocolate, and I'm all about that. *drool* the other day, my coworker brought me a mounds - just because they were on sale and he thought of me.
