Blah, with a side of blah covered in blah sauce
I haz a cold.
Ugh.
You know that horrible one stopped up nostril thing?
Sickly hot air rushing out your lungs thing?
Back of the throat feels like the Sahara desert but you still have mucus sliding down your esophagus thing?
Yeah, I have that.
But hey, I’ll take a cold over the flu any day.
Alka-Seltzer fizzy cold and flu medicine here I come!
For now, hot tea is my friend. It doesn’t hurt that I’m drinking from a whimsical snowman coffee mug.
In other news, I dropped my Principles of Accounting class.
I finished the first Chapter assignments and was reading Chapter 2 when I realized A) it really doesn’t make any sense to me and B) I don’t even think I WANT to be an accountant.
Since it was the last day I could drop the class and still get a 100% refund (after that day it dropped to 50%!) I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet.
The thing is, I had emailed my professor several times already and she never bothered to respond.
I even sent an email explaining why I was dropping and how I hoped to take her class in person next semester.
She never even gave me a “Thanks for telling me” response.
So screw her and screw Accounting.
The truth is, I’m more drawn to English…specifically Creative Writing. ( When I told Mr. AP that I wanted to go this direction he was thrilled. He knows how much I love to write)
I am LOVING my Comp I class and I’m even enjoying my World Lit class.
Granted, who wouldn’t love reading a story called “Nipple Jesus”? ha.ha..
I am definitely more of a Business Administration person with a Creative Writing bent.
Let’s see how that works out for me.
On the plus side, I *still* needed to take Business Calculus for the Business degree so I don’t feel like I’m taking a wasted class. Yay!
Work still sucks but at least it’s calmed down a little. There has been less yelling at me and more yelling at other people. Yay me!
I’m still looking for a new job but it is a slow and arduous process. Especially given my desire for a specific place of employment.
All I can do is continue to plod along here and keep my head down.
Every once in a while there is a bright spot. Certain things that I get to research/follow through on that makes me remember how much I love my work (just not my employer).
Those moments also help with my resolution to change my College direction.
HA!! 40 (soon to be 41) and I STILL don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
How the heck can we expect 19 year olds to know?!?!
On the home front, Mr. AP has declared Rescue Dog to be …. “a tiny little angry GOD”.
Ha..ha.ha.. She is used to getting her way and when she doesn’t she gets very angry and vocal until she DOES get her way!
Her leg infection has cleared up and is healing nicely. The duct taped sock was a success.
Now if I could just get her to stop eating the cat poop. UGH.
Nothing worse than getting a whiff of kitty litter in the face. *gag*
No! No! No! Those are *not* doggie treats!!!!!!
good for you in pursuing the direction that works for you!
When the dogs are in the house, we have a latch on the door to the room where the cat litter is; it allows a gap big enough for the cats to get through, but small enough to keep the dogs out.
What is it with dogs thinking stuff THAT IS NOT FOOD is a yummy treat? Ack …
I have a litter box with a cover on it (so it looks more like a cat carrier) and the dogs have a hard time getting into it with their big heads. Kida manages every once in a while but she’s really smart and knows how to finesse stuff. I can always tell. She always looks really guilty!
I’m glad you’re going in your own direction now. Your bossman was the decider and since you probably won’t be with him before long, it doesn’t matter much now, does it? I hope your dream job opens up soon so you can get away from there!
Sorry about the cold. We had a doozy that we kept passing around (lucky me – I got it twice). It took about a week to get over.
Pink — I’ve tried making it so the litter boxes are so close to the wall that only the cats can get in. Squeaker recently expressed her displeasure about this move by peeing right outside the box. Granted, Squeaks is also just a bitch!
Sayre — I’m finally getting over the cold. I have this one loogie that is stuck in the back of my throat that refuses to be dislodged. I have this feeling that if I can just get rid of that one last hawker I’ll be perfectly healthy again. ha.ha.ha…
I am really tickled to drop the idea of being an Accountant. THEN I found out that to get my Business Management degree I STILL have to take Accounting. GAH!!!!!
