I just finished watching the finale of Dancing with the Stars and I think it was rigged. I think they gave it to Cheryl and Emmitt because it made for better television to have Cheryl win twice, and they can bring it up over and over next year. I just honestly don’t think Emmitt got more votes than Mario. It’s all really a popularity contest anyway. Mario is by far the better dancer and he should have won.
Well, other than that, not much has been going on with me. This weekend I stayed in and relaxed and rested a lot. I have been having horrible allergies, so I needed to stay in bed and rest because I couldn’t BREATHE! I was so congested that I would wake up at night gasping for air.
Work is still crazy busy and I don’t understand why. Usually it’s really slow around Thanks Giving, but not this year. It’s really wearing me out and I don’t know how much more of this I can do. I’m ready for a new job.
Last night we (Michelle, Eric, Javi, and I) went to see Borat. That had to have been one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. I laughed so hard it hurt. It’s definitely not a movie I would let children see though. It’s rated R for a reason.
Today I spent most of the day in meetings and interviews. I’m interviewing for a 6th person on my team. I hate interviewing. You never really know what you are getting. It’s such a gamble. You can ask questions and try to judge them, but really it’s all a gamble. People know how to say what you want to hear and how to pretend to be model employees.
We have some new job responsibilities coming our way and my boss wants to send me to Minnesota for TWO WEEKS for training. I just don’t see that happening. I can’t leave for two weeks. I don’t want to be gone for two weeks! I don’t know what I’m going to do about it yet. I’d rather quit than go up there for two weeks. I need to find a solution that will work for all of us. I’m thinking maybe it can all be done through Netmeeting and phone conferences? Maybe?
I’ve been so busy at work that I don’t have time to update my blog, send and read emails, or do anything fun. I’m so swamped that I’m working through breaks and lunches, and still staying late. I can’t ever catch up. I’m burnt out. My whole team is burnt out. It needs to die down soon or I think something really bad is going to happen.
I’m really looking forward to having four days off next week. I may even have to take off the following Monday just to get the extra time. I am going to sleep in a lot and do a lot of sitting around watching movies. I need to recharge and de-stress.
I’m working on my Christmas card already. I’ve already drawn the image and I’m just tweaking it now. I haven’t decided if I’m going to get them printed as card and save me from having to do a lot of hand work, or if I’m going to build the cards all by myself. I guess if I start soon I might as well build them myself, it’ll look so much better.
I’m already thinking about Christmas presents too. I have some good ideas. I’m going to try to do something different this year. Not telling what just yet though.
I have to go shower now and shave my head.
