thanksgiving has made me lazy, leaving me in anticipation of christmas.
work is a drag...per usual, but especially this week. imagine this: someone asks you to create a spreadsheet and tells you exactly what they want on it, but it's never right; not because your doing it incorrectly, but because they are ocd. yes, this is what i've had to deal with all week.
let me briefly tell you what's up.
so i was suppose to compile a spreadsheet of students within specific cities for an upcoming event (which is gonna be a failure btw) in january. once the spreadsheet is created, invitations will be sent to the students. so basically the spreadsheet is needed to put on labels which will go on the invite. the spreadsheet consists of the usual (name, address, school, etc.). so i do this and each and every time i send it to the person who wants it (surprise it's not director or VP) she sends it back saying something is wrong.
attempt #1: "can you use different tabs for each city?"
me: okay, i suppose this isn't a problem
attempt #2: "can you indicate which person is a student, guidance counselor, parent?"
me: again, this is not a problem.
attempt #3:"can you do the spreadsheet in the exact sequence that i want it?"
me: ummmm, okay...why does this matter? it's not gonna affect the outcome of creating labels for the invite.
attempt #4: "you're not doing it right, let me forward you an example of what i want. let me send someone to help you."
me:ummmm, this is exactly what i keep sending you. now i feel stupid, as if i should be sitting in a special education classroom instead of my office.
attempt #5: "i'm an anal retentive beatrice who wants you to feed into my need to compulsion"
me: oh! so that's what the problem is?! you should have said that from the beginning. now i'm just not going to do it!
this actually stressed me out...to the point where tears threatened to fall from my eyes. however, after sleeping over it (i really wasn't going to do it), i decided to suck it up and do what she asks. however, this occurrence simply reiterated that i do not belong in an office...i'm too fierce and sane for all this....rather, i need to be out in the world working on my bucket list goal
# 4 & 5!
so the lesson for today is create options for yourself so you won't be stuck doing stupid shit during your day.
i'm sure i will be so over this (by next year...i hold grudges!)! me and this person are actually really cool...so it will fade :)

work update
i realize that i haven't updated much about work.
honestly, not much is going on...oh, except for the fact that director is lazy and doesn't really do anything. so, as i reported a few weeks back her position has been altered slightly. rather than sitting in her office and doing nothing, she now travels just like the rest of the counselors and apparently continues to do nothing. let me share some examples:
1) she was covering a college fair for me in st. augustine, florida but didn't actually cover it. one of my admissions connections told me he was going to make it a point to introduce himself to director at this fair, but trouble is he couldn't find our table.
2) when we went to seattle there was 2 days of the college fair. why did director only want to do the first day of the fair? and don't forget that instead of attending sessions for the conference she slept in (to sleep off her hangover).
3) yesterday, she covered a fair in augusta for a co-worker, whose mother happened to be attending the fair for her job (i think she's a high school teacher)...apparently, director ditched the second day of the fair and when she was present she was not even at the table.
wtf? i really don't know what to do...it's not fair and not right. i want to tell new VP, but don't really know how to approach or even if it will be a big deal to him
any ideas?

bucket list update
i really thought my post on the bucket list would be a haphazard, never think about it again type thing...but i see myself starting to work on goals from my list without even thinking of it.
my # 2 goal of doing a race
well, i did have an opportunity to participate in a race 2 weekends ago, but i didn't want to drive there (it was located at the school where i work, which is 30 mins from my house, blah, blah, blah....excuses right?). but i have been running on a regular basis as of late.....i'm up to 1.5 miles.
my # 4 goal of publishing a book
well, i'm not taking meetings with editors just yet, but i am in a creative writing class and looking into an mfa program in north carolina...so that counts, right?

secretly, i love amy winehouse (it's not well known because of the whole crack thing). i think her voice and music is amazing...if i could deliver a poem or novel the way she delivers a song i would be a really great writer!
i thought i knew every song she ever did, but i recently found this one called "brutha".....pretty awesome....check it out!

hair drama
remember how i said i decided on a new hair guy?
well, i lied :(
well, i thought he would be my guy, but the last time i went to the salon i was grossed out....it's filthy. i can't stand dirty salons! i mean, why would you want to go to a salon like that?
so now i'm stuck. i know what you're thinking....just suck it up and do your own hair, but it's not that easy. when i was younger my parents would just drop me and my sis off at the salon every 2 weeks just to get it washed! in college, i was forced to do my own hair and honestly, it wasn't that bad and i kinda got good at it...actually, my hair in college was more fierce than it is now...ironic, huh? but i was dealing with my hair when it was in it's natural state....so i could be straight one day, then curly one day (ugh! why did i get a relaxer?)
anyway, i recently when to the ulta salon for a simple wash in style (i was traveling and my hair was a mess) and let me tell you....those people are bananas and overpriced!
so, i've decided to learn how to do my hair (i was thinking about going natural again, but i'm convinced that my hair HATES me because of all the changes i put it through so i'm waiting a year before i make anymore impulsive hair decisions). i'm going to learn to 1) wash it 2)condition it 3)style it
wish me luck (and advice if you have any)

on the road part II
hello all!
i'm traveling again in georgia...right now i'm in savannah. next to atlanta, seattle, new york, and london (though i've never been there), savannah is my fave city. it's so southern and quaint in an old southern and quaint way....it's actually charming. it has culture that is beyond southern...it's so georgian that it's almost not georgia.
anyway, let me update you on what's going on.
remember when i said i was working on my shopping? well, i've been doing really well....well, kinda. when i get paid i immediately pay myself then pay the bills (that's what the experts say to do), so whatever is left over fair game, right? no!i'm still working on that part...but rome wasn't built in a day!
anyway, to get around my little problem i tell myself that i'm doing early christmas shopping,but even that is getting ridiculous. case in point - today i was in nine west and saw some cute shoes that my sis would love so i bought a pair for her then bought 2 for me....ugh! but all the shoes were on sale with an additional 20% off....not bad right?
here's what i got if you're curious
okay, next
so i've been an admission counselor for 2 full years now...3 travel seasons. during college fairs the schools are in abc order....so i've pretty much been sitting by the same tables and people since 2006. so tell me why a certain rep from a certain school in a city that stinks (i won't name names this time) acted brand new when travel season started this year? she came up to me and asked, "do i know you?" maybe it wouldn't have hurt so much if we've never spoken and greeted each other before, but we talk ALL the time....i'm outdone!
omg, it seems as if this year is my year to get speeding tickets...i've gotten 2 tickets this year while working...ugh! anyone who knows me, knows i do not speed!
well, i'm gonna get back to top model...i'm really not into it anymore, but we don't have cw at the house so i figure i should watch it.

sex with mom and dad?
is anyone else watching the new mtv show "sex with mom and dad?"
if not, here's the general idea of the show...kids (maybe 16 to 21) and their parents openly discuss their sex lives with each other. this is the most awkward show i've ever witnessed, yet i am always waiting for it to come on. a part of me thinks that sex and parents do not need to be in the same sentence, but the other part of me thinks that this open discussion is pretty awesome. i wonder how a discussion like this would turn out between me and my parents...hmmmmm!

seattle revisted
due to my intense level of busy i was not able to discuss much about seattle so here's all the highlights!
the hotel room fiasco
so, before the trip, director put all the tasks involved with seattle on me (i.e. arranging material, registering for the event, etc.). this also included booking the hotel. in her email to me it was quite obvious that we were to share a hotel room....but i just couldn't do it! so i booked two rooms (total $1400). i didn't try to hide it though; in my correspondence to her i made sure to say "rooms" and even forwarded her the confirmation email. so when we got to the hotel and she found out that i indeed booked 2 rooms she decided to act brand new. this act was so fake. i asked her, "should i go downstairs and get 1 room for us?" she responded, "i'm not giving up my room!"
director didn't do anything.
the first 2 days of being in seattle i did not see director even though out hotel rooms were side by side. when i finally got in contact with her (i broke down and called her cell to make sure she was still alive) she told me she had been party hopping. she didn't even attend any of the sessions of the conference the first two days!
i made a mistake
after i called her to check in, i told director that we should do lunch. well, lunch turned into spending 1.5 days together. we went on a tour of the city together, i taught her to text, i ate dinner with her boring friends, and we even went to the conference social together....ugh! i had had enough! the next day she wanted to do dinner again and i had to back out....i made up that i had dinner plans with some other admissions counselors i met!
but the good are always rewarded!
at the social, i had to sneak off to get away from director and met this very awesome guy who made my last night in seattle pretty memorable! when i made up plans to get out of dinner with director i decided to text him so that i wouldn't be a total liar. we hung out later that night in my room and did some kissy face (i'm a kissing slut....as friends you should know that). but here's the funny part, i brought him back to my hotel room (remember director's room is next to mine?) and the next day as we were heading to the airport she asked, "did you have a date last night?" hilarious!

sick in south georgia
i am sick :(
my flight back from seattle was really disgusting....4.5 hours on a cramped plane breathing in others people's air. it seems as if everyone on the flight felt the urge to sneeze at the same time....sucio!
anyway, i'm back on the road, but this time for the georgia portion (albany, tifton, moultrie, and americus) of my travel...ugh...my least fave part of my territory.

seattle
so, i'm back from seattle.
for some reason the city was not as magical as my previous visits were...dunno, maybe it's because my director (she's no longer my boss thank you)was there. granted she was MIA the whole trip (she really just went for a vacation because she did no work), but just knowing that she was in MY city perturbs me.
anyway, here are some pix from my journey!enjoy!
okay, this last picture doesn't really capture the essence of seattle, but i thought it was cute!

on the road part I
so, as the title suggests i'm on the road. this week was birmingham, mobile (which is so much better than i thought), tallahassee, and gainesville.yay!?
this week was fun of adventure.
1. my rental is ant infested.
and when i called enterprise about it they suggested i buy an ant bomb...wtf?
2. i think i have mr. desperate attached to me.
so to make a looooong story short: i met this guy last year at a college fair. i guess he was interested in me and asked me to dinner. i said no but for some strange reason i still gave him my number. anyway, once i got back home he kept calling and calling. i never answered because like i just said i wasn't intrested. so rewind to yesterday, this guy is at the same college fair from last year. he appraoched me about not calling him. he asked me to dinner again and again i said no. but he still has my number from last year.....needless to say, he's been calling.
but on a great note, my h&m adventure was amazing! i bought a cropped faux leather jacket....yay! pics to come!

h&m madness
so this weekend i'm going shopping with my little sister. now before you say to yourself, "hey wasn't that girl suppose to be abstaining from the shops?" i must say that this shopping adventure has been on the books for weeks now. also, h&m has so much goodies and for a low price so i will be uber careful.
but anyway, i'm so excited about upgrading and adding to my spring wardrobe that i made my h&m wishlist....wanna see?
1. cropped leather jacket
2. belted dress coat and 3. anything plaid
this cute dress i found at target combines both the now trend of plaid and the sophistication of a dress...oh!
4. jeans
i'm specifically looking for skinny or straight leg jeans but with my thighs and booty i dunno!
5. anything to go with my ankle booties from last winter
yeah, i bought these cute ankle boots last winter and have not worn them yet! i am so determined to find something to work it with. if anyone has suggestions please leave a comment.

shopping part II
so i'm back in the office this week and really thinking about some could have been purchases from the outlet. did i mention that they had a kate spade outlet...oh yes! also, they had beautiful kate spade handbags on sale...oh yes, they did! i was immediately drawn to this lovely clover zebra handbag
oh yeah, it was only $80 too....and because of my oath to stop the madness with the crazy shopping i declined purchasing it....ugh!! now i'm kicking myself for not buying it....why couldn't i have made that oath AFTER purchasing the fab-ness that is a kate spade bag?

un-official girl
cassie's new single "official girl" is kinda hot. she's obviously taken some time to get her voice and dancing skills together and it shows. the song is basically about going public with a relationship. one could say that cassie is singing this song to her un-official man diddy.
but anyway, this song got me to thinking...i'm always an un-official girl! almost every relationship i've had has never been public and somewhat hidden....i've never really had a normal, adult relationship. and at 25 years old that's super sad.
each of these relationships had a reason why it was un-official, like he already had a public and official girl (hey, don't judge...i don't do that anymore anyway) or to avoid the drama of having a public relationship (my friends wouldn't approve of some of the people i have dated). but sometimes it was just easier to keep things hush hush....i'm already a private person so it felt more natural for me to just keep this aspect of my life private anyway.
but this song really makes me want my next relationship to be official.....besides, being un-official really messes with your self-esteem.
here's cassie's "official girl" for listening pleasure.
has anyone else been an un-official girl?

shopping
did anyone catch run's house last night?
vanessa and angela went to therapy for shopping addiction! and i realized that i may have a problem as well.
i shop entirely too much.
as soon as my paycheck is deposited in my checking account i immediately pay bills, put a little money in my savings, and with the rest of the money i spend!it's a very depressing cycle. i use to shop to fill a void. but now i shop to fill a void, but as i'm paying for my purchases i've noticed that my void along with guilt fill me.
mtv's true life recently did an episode about shopping addiction. although the cases in the episode were extreme (i don't stop paying my bills because a jacket is on sale and i don't constantly borrow money to support my habit), but i could easily see myself slipping into that pattern.
so, right now i am announcing that i am not going to be like that!
so, how will i do that? well, i'm not sure, but i will start by returning the numerous amounts of clothing and shoes that have been sitting in my closet unworn.
i'll let you know how my journey goes!
stay fab
