them's fightin' words

I am so zapped today. I think I need to stop staying up so late every night.

Seriously, I do not even have the energy to compose this. My eyes are closing.

Oh God.
Caffeine crash.

I am pretty sure this is like the time Jessie Spano (from Saved by the Bell, of course) was strung out on uppers and was soooo excited, sooo excited... so, so scared.

Not only am I fatigued, I am also tired of certain elements of my job, like not being able to straight cuss out certain people who I work with.

Seriously shut the hell up and do your job.

Khtankxbye.

Amber,
Oh, I am so with you. I have someone that I work with...well, let's just say we usually co-exist fairly well, but sometimes we get on each other's nerves. The other day I had to be a witness while she was firing someone. They had been bad-mouthing the company to anyone that would listen. So, the woman was like, "Should you be fired for complaining to me about Tina all the time?" Oh, man, the chick turned red. I thought it was hilarious. I keep that stuff at home (complain to the hubby), but I wasn't mad. At least she getting it out of her system.

Take a nap, darlin'. A long one. Then have a stiff drink. Then watch the snow come down.

I had some co-workers like that at my last job. I was more than happy when I walked out of there for good this past May.

I know what you mean about staying up too late. I have to do all of my writing after everyone is in the bed, then I have to get up at 6:00 am to get the kids ready for school. It seems like I live off of caffeine.

jayme: bipolarspice

bethany: but if you laugh really, really hard and loud, sometimes you just look crazy.

deb: chin is now up! I'm on vacation until 12/28. :)

tina: i keep it at home, too. i never talk about people to their face, or on my blog. (That's why I crossed out all the meanest stuff.)

possessive

I watched Hoarders last night. During the first commercial break, I dared to look around my living room and I thought, oh holy mother of four-letter-word. Color me cluttered. Yes, it's true that most of my mess is hidden and collecting dust in the dark, but I know what's there -- like the 100+ VHS tapes in my bookshelf/ media cabinet, for instance. Yes, I love knowing that should I desire to watch my old school copy of Riding in Cars with Boys or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or The Royal Tenembaums or Serendipity or Ghost World or Memento or... okay. You get the picture. It's there. If I wanted it, it would be right there. Also semi-hidden? Probaby 50+ copies of this weekly magazine from the late 1960's - early 1970's called Story of Life. My grandma gave them to me. Have I cracked the cover of even one issue? Hell to the no. I don't have time for that type of nostalgia. Plus, I can't even find a link for it with a quick google search. Something tha...

First Page Blogfester

Preface: TGIF. It has been a day. So. I'm participating in the First Page Blogfest in which writers around the blogosphere post the opening 24 lines of their WIP. (In a "real" book, this is the approximate amount of work that would appear on page 1!) This blogfest is being headed up by Kelly over at Kelly's Compositions . Please check out the other entries and leave them a comment on their work. My own WIP will be featured on Roni's Beta Club next week, and I chose an excerpt from the beginning one chapter one for critque over there, so today I'll give you the true beginning: the opening lines of my prologue. Here goes nothing. My working title is A SAD SONG IN A FLAT KEY Genre: Literary Fictionspice Prologue May 2005      Laurel sits Indian style. She faces the head of her bed and tries to focus on Cafe Terrace at Night, pretending it is priceless artwork instead of a cheap replica. She counts the tables first, and the...
