"and don't forget to pay the lady."

Holy crap, McDermott just woke up.

Scared the crap out of Carter.

Freakin' Furby.

So I was up 'til about 4 last night.

Couldn't sleep - combination of factors aka sickness and restlessness but I was really productive, verified by the fact that the Library Goddess emailed me back this morning with, "what were you doing up that late?!"

Went into work anyway cause I promised Slim Shady that I wouldn't miss her last day.

She got her dream schedule today and ended it with me closing down second floor.

Walking her out for the last time I had flashbacks of walking out Fearless Leader and taking her picture in front of the library.

Took Slim's picture in the workroom taking her name off her locker - see Facebook.

Same frickin' locker that attacked us - fell over on us and they're huge and heavy so Big Brother and Fearless Leader had to come on the run to save us.

AND NOW ALL THREE OF THEM ARE GONE, so the next time it tips I'm hosed.

See, when Fearless Leader left it sucked.

It did.

But now they're both gone and it sucks even more.

Cause the three of us were pretty tight - dinners, movies, booze cakes, etc.

We were all hired within months of each other and we were around the same age so we were fast friends.

But the difference between Slim and Fearless is that Fearless had a boyfriend the whole time she was at the work branch, however Slim and I went on our fair share of bad dates and then got to vent all about them before we both got together with our respective "he's the one" guys.

So we bonded and vented and vented some more. And while I love all of my coworkers it was nice having someone my age that was going through the same stuff.


Even SuperWoman tracked me down this afternoon and went "both of your buddies are gone."

Yep.

Oh well, still got the New Guy who's my age and BossLady isn't much older.

And we always say, it's not goodbye but really it is.

The end of an era.

An interesting end to an interesting day at the library.

She did really go out with a bang - literally, Queen of the Known Universe  and I got the pleasure of calling the cops over a fist fight on first floor. There was a chunk of hair on the floor when I showed the cop where they fought, it was nasty.

We just heard thumping noises and saw people fleeing the area before we figured out what was going on.

Apparently one of the fighters was mouthing off to one of the cops outside and they had to take him down.

Joy.

What else from today?

You should never go grocery shopping when you're sad. You'll buy far more junk food than you should.


Oh well, see there's a reason I didn't label losing weight as one of my resolutions.

Mostly because I always list it and never do it so I'm thinking if maybe I don't list it and the pressure's off maybe I actually will do it.

Does that make sense at all?

Alright, aiming for earlier than 4 though it is already 2:30 though this time I don't have to wake up until like 5PM tomorrow. The boyfriend and I are taking Bubby, Squirt and Squirt's BF to a hockey game. Should be interesting.

Moving on to the music, more of 2012's greatest hits.

Back In Time - Pitbull


i used to really not like him. his miami's and havana's drove me nuts but he's growing on me. like this one a lot, along with the newest release.


Die Young - Ke$ha


but see with her i've always been a fan.


One That Got Away - Katy Perry


i'm sorry but old katy is creepy.

but anyway, after watching her Part of Me movie totally see her from a completely different perspective. even bigger fan now.

remember when i started falling asleep to storage wars? back in like july? i'm bringing it back. it's entertaining but not entertaining enough to keep me awake.

i go in spurts on who to root for. think jarrod and brandi are my favorite. barry coming in second. dave's alright but i don't remember the name of the other one, darrell? right?

oh baby, my sweet baby, you're the one.

Got to spend the day at the home branch with Glee-Loving Boss.

And yes, we did talk about Glee, but I haven't watched it since like 2 seasons ago so I'm a bit behind.

But it's okay cause my mom gives me updates every once in a while.

Like Quinn was in an accident.

And...

Okay, that's all I remember.

But half the good people graduated, but apparently they're still in it or something?

I don't know, I'm confused. Perhaps I'll watch a random episode on hulu and see if I can figure it out.

If not I'm sure there's an online summary somewhere.

It's one of those shows I just lost track of even though I was crazy obsessed at one point in my life.

Like Grey's.

And Bones.

and for a while The Closer.

But I caught up with the last one before the finale.

And Bones I'm still missing a few from last season but I have them taped.

So I'll watch them.

Or I'll buy it and watch them then.

There's just too many shows and I don't have time for them anymore.

I guess that happens when you get a life.

I do still watch NCIS, Castle and the Voice.

But the rest is DVR'd.

And half the time those are DVR'd, but I actually watch them, not let them sit for days and days.

I don't know where I'm going with this.

It's 2AM.

Oh yeah, I don't have to go in until 4 tomorrow, a-woohoo!

And I think after I'm taking Oldest Sister out for her birthday cause I have yet to do that.

I should probably wake up at a semi-decent hour so I can get started on some homework, but I guess that depends on when my internal clock wakes me up.

Cause sometimes I'll sleep 'til way late and get up, eat something fast and go to work.

But then there's times when I'm up at like 9 and can't go back to sleep.

Which is suck-ish, cause I rather enjoy sleeping in.

Oh well, I'll post some homework and then be done with it.

The only real assignments this week are discussion board stuff and a health resource analysis thing for the Library Goddess. We have to find a authentic website, print resource and community resource that someone can use for health information.

But the fun part is that we get to pick the patron and like give them qualities like mine will be a 24-year-old chick getting her Master's but she's suddenly diagnosed with like restless leg syndrome or something that sounds ridiculous but I'm sure is a serious problem.

It's just the commercials that are ridiculous.

Perhaps it's the writer in me, or just cause I'm a nerd, but I rather like assignments like these.

So that's the plan for tomorrow.

Not much to say about today other than the usual - it was dead cause it's a Sunday but then it picked up while he was at lunch and I was by myself - which is the norm as anyone who works/has worked there can tell you.

I have two volunteers that are supposed to start at the work branch tomorrow but I won't be there.

I trained them, but we'll see how much they remember.

I left detailed instructions, took up the whole board, and sent out an email to the staff to watch out for them. I'm sure they'll be fine.

Alright, in order to enjoy the sleeping in process I first have to fall asleep so I'm off. I'm sure I'll have plenty to talk about tomorrow. That usually happens when I do something with my family, we're full of characters.



Back in Time - Pitbull
