promise me today really is thursday

Most days, I wake up early just fine. But when I have to wake up and actually do something, instead of playing WoW for an hour before work, I feel like I'm dragging my feet. Time to mainline the coffee.

I have also made the unfortunate discovery that the expensive Mary Kay face soap I have seems to *cause* breakouts on my face. As opposed to the cheap soap I picked up in the grocery store aisle that makes them go away. Not happiness. I think I'm just going to have to throw the bar out. This isn't as bad as it could be given that I bought the stuff off eBay. Still, if I'm going to spend that much money on soap I had better like it. I recently discovered how much soap there is on eBay, and have forbidden myself to go back there.

I know, I know, get off the sofa and go get the oil changed.

So the oil changing was painless and fast. I was out of there much sooner than I expected, so I went to buy gasoline in preparation for the weekend's driving and still ended up thirty minutes early to work. I called my dad and made a date to have dinner next Wednesday as an early birthday thing. We're going to Mesa Ranch. Mmmmm steak and bread and salad and cocktails.

I would be really glad if I did not have any more mentally ill callers today. Not just mentally ill, but crazy and poor historians. It's just been a lot of the most vague and whacked out stuff. This day won't end soon enough.

My quarterly performance evaluation is about due, so I may get that this afternoon. Eep. I always dread some random horrible thing coming up that makes me mortified and feel incompetant. I know that's not too likely, but still.

Newest pet peeve: People who type words like money as "munny" and don't as "dun." This is stupid, and makes you look like some hillbilly yokel idiot. I understand spoken language mutates sound just about as fast as the grass grows around Chernobyl but for heaven's sake people the English written language is not open for you to change. Just write the damned words correctly and stop thinking you're so cute or clever for acting uneducated.

By the time I got home tonight, I was so exhausted and tired. But to make up for all the crap, there was homemade fettucine alfredo. Yay Tyler and Sarah for being such good company.
