No one at home! I'm all alone!

What am I doing? Why I'm cleaning, of course!

mwahahaha

I got to go shopping and spend some money! I bought a shirt, a nice and very warm coat, a cool dark blue sweater, and some more pants (another size smaller...yay!!). I only spent $300. Gah. That was my allowance for clothes until way after the new year. At least I'll be warm. I haven't had a coat in about 6 years because I'm picky as hell when it comes to coats and I can never afford one when I actually find one I like. I had a salad for dinner, we went to Ruby Tuesday's. Dylan was starving and ate a hamburger, fries, salad, and then ate a whole plate of fruit!

Oh yeah, my cheerfulness scared many of the people at work.

mwahahaha.

When I came to the dayshift at work, things were actually a lot better. I was on the encoding team and learning a new job function. I got along with everyone just fine. Then a month later my previous job function was moved to the dayshift, but only three of the associates came to the dayshift. So I was needed in that job function and was advised I had no choice in the decision to move me back to that job function. I was quite upset about it but 'embraced change' and did the work.

Well, most of the existing dayshift associates didn't speak to me when I came to their team. Several were pretty bitchy to me and I learned to just avoid them whenever possible and only talk to the others when absolutely necessary. I mean, they can't even say 'hi' to me when passing in the hallway. They don't even *look* at me. So there is actually very little interaction between myself and my 'team'. I pretty much just talk to my 'friends' and avoid all the others.

Today I was pulled aside and advised that they are sick of my attitude towards them and a bunch of other crap. I was asked what is 'wrong' with me. I told my manager exactly what had happened (how they don't speak and act like they literally hate me) and she still thinks it's me. I don't know if it's my color or religion or just the fact that they are just assholes. Hmm. Okay, they are just assholes.

I know of one person that complained. I made sure to tell her goodbye nice and loud and sickenly sweet when she left today. I will continue to go out of my way to be nice to each and every single one of them. They are going to be sick of me by the time I am done. They can't complain that I am too nice, can they?

People suck.

The 'bomb' at work was a walkie-talkie and some electronics in a briefcase. When asked if threats had been made, the police declined to comment. Some guy was still being held by the police last night though.

At least it made Monday go a little bit faster.

There was a bomb threat of some kind at work today. I looked up while working and saw people leaving and then found out there we were being evacuated. So I just grabbed my bag, thinking it was another fire drill. We were all herded to the back parking lots at the site I work. Then a bomb truck showed up and everyone started to panic and run. The security guards were running after the crowd yelling for them to keep going to the far end of the parking lot. Then...they made us go to the front of the building beside ours. The officer said they were doing sweeps of our building, but he 'didn't know all the info about the situation'. Finally the cars in the area mine was parked were allowed to leave, so I went home. It's weird leaving work without putting my stuff away or shutting my computer down. Sucks that my cds are still on the desk. Our cleaning people tend to have sticky fingers and help themselves to our things if left out. Blah.

It's funny how we have all this new security at work and this happens. There are always two guards at the doors, but today there weren't any at the back door. Anyone could have walked in. I heard that there were two guys in handcuffs on the ground outside, but then again...someone else said we needed gas masks because someone was attacking us with anthrax...

*rolls eyes*

idiots.

I had a really great weekend. The Tori concert was great. She is just amazing! I had a lot of fun in DC and Chris is really nice! I want to go see Tori again!!!

I'm very tired and don't feel like unpacking.
