Day Forty-Four: Sarcastic Wednesday

DAY FORTY-FOUR:  At my office we subscribe to something we like to call Sarcastic Wednesdays. It’s just as it sounds – all day long every Wednesday we like to talk about how much we love working 62 hour weeks for no extra pay or appreciation, about how it’s fun to have to fight for a raise every two years if we are lucky, about how we love to feel challenged by incompetent co-workers that fail to do their job…you get the picture. And I’ll say, we don’t keep our sarcastic love for sharing only on Wednesdays. However, it is technically Wednesday, so I’m going to start the day right and list all of the things that I absolutely LOVED about the past 24-48 hours (please forgive the melodrama if you perceive it that way, I’m having a bit of a “day” if you know what I mean…)

So here it is, things that truly made my day:

• Waking up feeling just as shitty as I did when I went to sleep, I mean it was great to know what to expect

• Having to leave an extra 25 minutes early to make sure I can shovel my car out from under the snow, when it’s still snowing, it’s especially fun when the snow made its way down my back somehow

• Never receiving a phone call, but for a customer satisfaction survey from Walgreens Pharmacy, I felt truly appreciated

• Getting to make a sandwich with two ends of the bread loaf, at least they matched

• Realizing I still have 6 days to wait for my test results, it’s better than 7 days

• Debating whether to watch that 2 hour episode of Smallville now or to save it because I know I’ll have nothing to do tomorrow either, it’s great to have no plan preventing me from endless TV watching

• Feeling so crappy that all I was able to make myself for dinner was a rice cake with peanut butter (and that was last night – I didn’t make anything tonight – a pickle sounds good)

• One Tree Hill making me feel bad about my life – that show should not make any one feel bad about their life

• Having no paper towels to clean up the spill from my cat deciding the water was in his way and knocking it off the table, at least a spot on the floor got a cleaning

• The cat being relentless and spending the day either meowing while staring at me or just simply staring at me, he can be such a creeper

• Going to the store for one specific thing and leaving with four things, none of them the thing I needed, but hey, now I get to take another trip…fun

• People in the parking lot having no clue what they are doing with their lives and therefore, cannot figure out how to park a car – I was so excited about their driving skills that I simply left without going into the store

• Waking up realizing I spoke to someone last night that called me and cannot recall who or what we spoke about (damn sleeping pill)

• Selfish people, I love selfish people – I mean, don’t these people know that it’s really all about ME

• Doing a favor for someone by purchasing an item and then them asking you to drop it off even though they are passing by your house on their way home, of course, that’s way more convenient for me, would you like my left ovary as well? (Okay, that’s a little dramatic)

• Realizing that great deal on Ebay might take 3 months to ship from Hong Kong, maybe I’ll forget about it and then be REALLY excited when it does in fact arrive

• Waiting for a Valentine’s gift to arrive and learning it will probably arrive after Valentine’s Day

• Looking at 30 V-Day cards and leaving without one – oh and forgetting the paper towels (see above)

• A 45 minute doctor appointment that resulted in cramps, pain, and overall un-fun (which started my wonderful mood seen here)

• People not realizing that I need some care once and a while even if I don’t outright say it, and even sometimes when I do

• People not being able to say, I’m here for you if you need it or I care about you, sorry you feel bad or is there anything I can do – it really makes a girl feel loved and cared for

Alright, I’m done complaining – I could go on forever tonight – I’m in rare form, but why turn this into any more of a whine-fest than it already is (as if that were possible.) Optimistic spin:  The few saving graces of today:  Supernatural (Dean Winchester/Jensen Ackles can always boost my day at least half a notch - see pic below for your daily boost), hot tea, my new DiorShow BlackOut Mascara, this great perfume called Laugh with my LeeLee (still getting to the laugh with me part), the blonde Melanie put in my hair, my brown cuddly blanket, Kleenex, Claire showing up on LOST, and the one person that did actually say they’d come over and hang out with me if they could. Thanks person, you rule.

This is more for me, than anyone else (I apologize to any males that may read)...hellooo Jensen:

 

I promise my new post will be less histrionic and “woe is me” and more Optimistic Pessimism or whatever it is I prattle on about in these entries (ewww - that just reminded me of Spencer Pratt....note to self, do NOT use the word prattle any longer.)  Until then, thanks for listening – this was a must do vent session for tomorrow is a new day and as long as I don’t wake up to a cat meowing in my face or even better wake up to someone telling me how awesome I am…I can move on from this Terrible Tuesday and take Sarcastic Wednesday in stride.  Optimistic spin:  I Don't Care Friday is only days away.
