Final random thoughts to a long dumb week
Dec. 21st, 2007 07:21 pmIt's Solstice! And I'm not celebrating as I normally do because Adam has been in New Mexico all week making the big bucks (oh thank you Jesus!), I'm pregnant and mildly retarded, and we're leaving for Alaska tomorrow.
I'M GOING TO ANCHORAGE TOMORROW. I am so excited. Nieces, my sis, snowdarkcold, and my preggers bf Future Gov. It's been warming up there - it was in the teens today! Sun rises at 10.14am and sets at 3.41pm. Hot damn. Gimme some real winter to balance out the perpetual (beautiful) autumn that is a Californian winter!
Work has been hijacked this week by stupid contractor drama. Our IT guy had (HAD - because he was FIRED today, thanks to my insistence) the communication skills of an autistic kid - although I'm sure the autistic are kinder to others than this guy was. Rude, demeaning, negligent, disregarding of others' time, and manipulating others' words. I threw a stink and my boss fired him before I could do it. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Pregnancy brain is real. I used to think that all the 'mommy brain' talk was insipid nonsense, but it's real and I fear it. I wonder when my personality and mental recall will return.
Off to fold the laundry and go get Adam from the airport.
To those that celebrate the Solstice, let there be light! To those that celebrate Christmas, joy to the world! For those that celebrate nothing, or wish they could, may you be as little annoyed as possible. But above all, may there peace on earth.
