Eliminating stress via shopping!

Last week and half of this week has been utter chaos at work. So, I went on a bit of a shopping extravaganza on Monday night, after a tough day at work. Everything I did, went wrong. Everything I sent to anywhere, got phone calls back. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. First of all, I woke up to the door wide open the whole night, so again  I had to be the bad guy,  e–mailed all of my room mates + landlord, saying that this was the second time this happened, please have some consideration for others who also live in the house, with expensive things. The neighborhood I live in, doesn’t exactly have a high crime rate. But that doesn’t give everyone free will to keep doors open AND unlocked all night long. That really pisses me off. I don’t want to be a mother–figure here. But obviously nobody gives two craps. Not even the landlord who owns the beautiful house! Jeesh! I bet they’d all care if it got broken into, and vandalized! I got splashed on the way to work, by vehicles on the road, since we’re having a warm spell this week. I slipped and fell on the ice, walking to the bus stop after work, since it was colder around 5 o’clock.

Then. At work. I was working on a poster for a new loan we’re coming out with at the end of the month, and when I was closing out InDesign, I thought I was editing the loan application design, and not the poster. So when it asked me to save, I said no. Until I realized it was the poster I was editing, and not the app. AWESOME! Oh, another fail of the day: I was helping my boss at the end of the day, get some freebie packages together for a seminar, so I was in the middle of grabbing some pens from the cupboard. Usually they’re bundled up in elastic bands (which they still were) but when I grabbed them. The elastic broke, and an ocean of pens surrounded our feet. I smacked my head with disbelief, and my boss just told me to go home (in a nice way, obviously) hahah. I decided that I needed some retail therapy after my stressful day.

What better way to end a terrible day than to shop with a GIFT CARD. Oh yes. I still hadn’t spent the generous gift card my boss gave me for Christmas! Yay new work clothes! I’m wearing the first outfit you see, on the left. Pretty schnazz–a–riffic, don’tcha think?

“Hit me with your best shot!”

So I’ve been taking everyone’s photos at work, for a little project my boss has me doing (this is what I thought of taking everyone’s photos. Not a fun job!). I didn’t want anyone taking photos of ME since I don’t like posing for other people but my self–timer. So I took some shots. The first set is me, au natural. The second set I feel like I’m trying too hard with makeup and scraggly hair. It looks so gross. But for the meantime, the first photo in the second set is what i have picked for my staff photo.

I personally like the far right, on the first set. What do you liiiiiiiiiiiike? Help a girl out yo!

Happy Birthday to me?

So, it’s Sunday and I’m literally bored to tears. I’ve watched too much TV yesterday (TLC’s What Not To Wear = love) and Sunday’s are supposed to be laid back and lazy. I’ve been doing some thinking and, my birthday isn’t for a few months yet, but I like making wish–lists. ‘Cause I mean … my parents annnnd boyfriend read this site from time to time. Sooo: hint hint. Carry on.

  1. Before I ever had a CD player, I bought CDs in hope that I’d get a CD player for Christmas or even as a birthday present. Eventually I got one.
  2. I also would like a flickr pro account, but unfortunately for miss cheap arse, I don’t want to fork over the $24 a year for it. Eventually I’d like to do a flickr 365 (take 1 photo daily, for 1 year).
  3. Gift cards to restaurants and grocery stores are always a hit with me. Everyone loves food.
  4. New shin pads for soccer. I don’t really need them, but they’ve been around since 1994 and they look disgusting.
  5. A circle pendant. While Boyfriend was in NYC with his parents, he picked me up one. But it broke. I wanna new one :)

Perhaps I will add more to this list, later. That’s pretty much my top priority picks right there.
