I hate Thursdays

I get really annoyed on Thursdays. I am not sure why. In fact, I freaking hate Thursdays.

I had the most intense meeting of my life today. I had to present a topic and was interupted like 4 thousand freaking times. I developed a severe headache during the meeting. Afterword, I tried to fix this with an espresso shot mixed in with regular coffee. It is called a "Depth Charge." I like coffee drinks named after weapons.

Today, I really wish I had a castle. So if someone asked me a stupid question or interupted me, well I would just through them in the moat.

Stupid Economists Tricks

I haven't heard any PhD admission news. I am questioning whether I should have taken the GRE a third time to bump my scores up.

I got so stressed out at work today cause the workload increased tenfold. I am so OCD about getting things done! I must drive my coworkers batty.

One of my coworkers is in the middle of their own soap opera. It is better than online radio and Ugly Betty! What is going to happen tomorrow? Will she return to her ex and live happily ever after?

Status Report

I have various matters to report.

1. My Phd application is finally in and being reviewed. I am waiting for word.

2. My coworker did not infect the entire Division with her contagious skin parasite. We are all breathing a sigh of relief that the mites did not mate.

3. I was outside the door to my home when I saw one of my neighbors peeking at me throught their window. I waved at the old lady. I like to tweak people like that.

Thats how I roll in northern virginia.

Yuppie food

I gorged on pizza. I currently feel like a snake that ate one too many pinkies. I ate really awesome pizza too..feta, carmalized onions, and thin crust. I also ate half a vegetarian sandwich called a "Yuppie Veggie" Well, if the shoe fits....
This is how I roll.

Heebie Jeebies

We currently have a contagious situation at work. As a card carrying germaphobe, I am absolutely horrified. I read the Andromeda Strain and know what can happen! Is the CDC going to come in an purge us! I know I have a serious case of the Heebie Jeebies. I think we should call on the special Economist SWAT team and rectify the situation.

Also in random news, all the baristas at the local coffee joints know me. I am a regular. Wow!

Bed, Bath, and Bitchiness

Over the Christmas holiday, I had to go to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to buy an essential item. Don't ask me what it was. Just understand that I needed it and BB&B was the only convienent place to get it.

I had the misfortune to be in the slowest line ever. On a positive note, I got to hear this guy bitch about returning his Braun Tassimo TA 1400 Hot Beverage System
coffee maker. He discussed his complaints about this coffee maker with the store clerk. The entire line just gawked.

Complaint List:

1. a standard coffee mug doesn't fit in the cup slot
My counter argument: You don't drink capuccinos in giant coffee mugs because you can die from that much caffeine! And have you ever heard of pyrex?

2. I have to stand there and push a button.
My counter argument: Don't you have to push a button for a drip coffee maker?

3. I can't believe the Tassimo TA 1400 Hot Beverage System is a Braun product
My counter argument: None. The relationsip between electric shavers and coffee makers perplexed me.

Thank you Mr. Coffee Maker guy. I had no idea the return line could be so entertaining.

On being a misanthrope

I am really starting to dislike most of the human race. If I owned Montana like Ted Turner, I'd live out the rest of my life riding horses, fly fishing, and eating steak. I'd be happy never to see another living soul. Well, OK I wouldn't mind conversing with a few selected souls.

Anyways, I have come to the realization that I truly despise some people and that is OK. In fact, I told one odious person at work that "I don't like people." This person seemed surprised and didn't get the hint to leave my office. Wow!

I think I am turning into a curmudgeon. I have been expending so much effort toward my GRE efforts that I have little time for anything else. I hope to put 2007 behind and embark on a better life. Jeez, I sound like I need to go on Dr. Phil.
