I have managed to save $15 a week for the past couple months by eating veggies and avoiding the grill section of the cafe where I work. I would usually get a grilled cheese, french fries, and a coke for lunch. Then one day they made fried shrimp. I'm terribly allergic to seafood. I asked the cook if he cooked the shrimp in the same oil he cooked the fries in. He said no. Because of the fact that there are two fryers, I believed him. I was sooo ill after lunch. The swelling and pain set in quickly. Ugh. So, after that day, I have avoided all food over in that area. I usually get salads, soups, or veggies. Saving $15 a week makes a big difference. That's enough money to put a weeks worth of gas in my car. I also stopped getting the cokes and now only drink water during the day. Well, except for that much needed cup of coffee in the morning.

I need to do the stats on my D&D characters.

I think I'll wait until the weekend to do that though, I'm way too tired to do it now.

The teambuilder was okay, we went to eat and then did the bowling thing. The employees at the restaurant set up one long table for all 16 of us to eat at. So we all sat and ordered our food, simple enough. Right?

Nope.

One of the people who gets off on pointing accusing fingers came over to the end of the table and asked: Why are all the black people at one end of the table and the white people are at the other?

Hmm...

Well, because um...that's how everyone entered the building and they were the first to sit down and we were the last, so we got the seats at the far end of the table. *rolls eyes* They could have chosen to 'mix' the group up a bit, but no. They are all friends and rushed to get the first seats, hence the fact that they were all sitting together, far from us, and we were unable to sit close to or even with them. Duh. Every time we go out to eat for a teambuilder, this happens. But for some reason the white people get the blame. Sheesh. Leave some freaking chairs open so someone *can* have the ability to sit next to you!

We tried to explain to her, but obviously it wasn't the answer she wanted to hear. I actually was offended by this. I mean, what does it matter anyway? Why did she just *have* to point it out? What purpose did that question serve?

It's funny how this same person can't get off her ass more than once or twice a day to get her work off the printer, but she can walk the same exact distance to come ask us a stupid question like that.

My shoulder still isn't completely healed, so bowling sucked. I did manage to get two strikes though. I came home afterwards and slept for three wonderful hours. I was dead to the world. Even Dylan didn't wake me up!

Now I have to work on a resume *and* do some writing as well. If I hadn't slept, I would be done now. Argh.

My last supervisor forgot to put my vacation time in on the calendar. So now almost everyone else has the days after the next two big holidays off, except me. Argh. &*#$@!!!!

For our teambuilder at work tomorrow, we're going bowling. Oh how fun. Not. Friday, the entire department is going to some pumpkin farm for our "Associate of the Quarter" meeting. I know of three people that nominated me. I don't think I'll get it. I don't kiss ass enough. Hmm...no, I don't kiss ass at all.

My next application to be submitted will be for a position in Human Resources. Oh joy. Right now I'll take almost anything to get away from the cretins I currently work with. Yep, it's time for new cretins!

blah blah blah.

Time to play UO.

My cold is going away...thank the gods.

My sister dropped by for a short visit tonight. She isn't living with our 'mom' anymore, they kicked her out. Honestly, she's better off living with friends instead of with our 'mom'. Our 'mother' has always had 'issues' with men. She always tends to be attracted to major losers that treat her like shit. The current one, Scott, drinks (though he said he quit 10 years ago..and got caught drinking by mom and my sis) and he is now doing coke and crack. Yeah, such a great enviornment to grow up in. Mom moved out of a big rent free house on my family's property to live with this loser because she claims she was in 'love'. Then he started to abuse her physically and verbally. He even calls her 'fat'. My mom is 5'2" tall and wears a very loose size 1. I have seen my mother once this year. She has called me a couple times, drunk and crying because Scott has abused her. She won't leave. She won't call the police. I can't make her move out. I can only offer her advise. The problem with this is that she has NEVER listened to me or been there for me when I've had issues with the person I married. She would change the subject to herself. She's all about herself and hasn't really been an active part in my life or my sister's. Just men and drinking, that's her life. Ugh. I just stopped answering the phone. I've had enough. Honestly, I have enough problems of my own and can't cope with her's anymore. Let me be selfish for once. She's done it all her life.
