i'm being rebellious and posting a blog at work..."business use only..." ha! i've just spent an infuriating morning answering a phone that doesn't stop ringing. a guest is supposed to come in tomorrow and surprise her friend...i tried to look up her reservation and i couldn't find it. of couse, this was after i got off the phone with her. i've also had to call like 10 hotels in the area to get rate information...half of the people barely spoke english. the ones who did speak tried to sell the rooms hardcore. and i used to be one of those leeches *shudder*. so now i'm sitting here as the buzz from my coffee wears off and i await my lunchbreak. i want to go do some more shopping. well, i better get off this thing before i get caught...the Boss Lady doesn't take kindly to rule infractions...later kiddies

So. Over. It.

That's where I'm at today with work and this job. I'm over it. Can you believe that they're playing "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" in the break room right now? It's part of the Cinco de Mayo "fiesta" they're having. Maybe I'll go grab a virgin margarita, take it out back and spike it. That will make getting through today easier. Why are weekends so short? We're 1/3 done with the run of Shoestring and I haven't cried yet. I'll probably lose it at the cast party. Man, I hate it when they do events at work with free food. People always encourage you to eat. I never want to. Cheesy office events drvive me nuts. They feel so forced. We had a Superbowl "party" and a March Madness "shootout." I quote these simply to highlight the ultimate cheese factor and fakenosity of it all. It's Friday. I'll make up words if I want to, dammit. Oh well, the new job search continues. I think I'll take lunch early. ROTF...

More airport shenanigans...

I have a love/hate relationship with air travel, as most people do nowadays. It's bad enough that I got violated on my airfare because I had to fly on short notice (nearly twice as much as I would have paid if I bought my ticket an extra week in advance). But has anyone else experienced the same type of wretchedness that comes with flying today? In the 2 years after 9/11 that I had to travel by air, I was "randomly searched" by airport security on nearly half of my flights - the locations of such occurences were the following: -Kansas City -St. Louis (on the connecting flight from KCI to LaGuardia) -Ft. Lauderdale -London Honestly...the only one that made sense was London. And that was the most blatant example of racial profiling that I had been subjected to - only brown people were pulled aside before getting on that plane. After the searches died down (have not been subjected to one since London), I then had to deal with delays. The one (and only) time I flew out of Phi...

Not too tired yet...

I've had to make a series of trips to Newark in the past week and a half. It's hard work. I'm slightly tired and cranky, but I'm perservering. The end result will be good and then I'll tell you all about it. In sports news: Oh, it's on tonight. Rutgers v. Tennessee. The Scarlet Knights served the Lady Vols back in January, and now it's on. (If you didn't see the "You Got Served" episode of South Park, th previous two sentences make no sense.) It shall be riveting Elite Eight tourney play for all. Random TV Show Idea: Take "Will and Grace," mix it with "Three's Company," and add a dash of mocha. I don't have a title for it, but since it might eventually be based on real life I'm sure I'll come up with something brilliant. It could make a great script for the WB. Or maybe even Fox. Apologies for the cryptic-ness. Giving information without giving information. Just think of it as an episode of "Desperate Ho...
