Not Again...

This morning was nothing short of miraculous.  I had to go to work at 7:45 right?  So of course, I set my trusty old alarm to 6:30 in the "A em" and then my back-up for 7:00 when I decide to snooze.  It's fool-proof!  But then, my phone (which doubles as my personal assistant) decides, "ya know what Bert? I'ma take the wheel on this one.  No big deal," and proceeds to make an executive decision to only allow the 7:00 alarm to go off.  Not enough time for me to get in my "tip top" for the day so obviously I have to cut something from my routine.  Yes, you're right,  I didn't brush my teeth this morning, and no amount of mint flavored gum can compensate for that...

Fast forward to work...

So my current project at work is to compare candy prices from a prospective vendor with the current prices we get from good old Sam's Club.  It's not so bad except the price book from the other vendor is and 88 page Excel file.  I know what you're thinking, "Bert, that's not so bad, you just go ahead and ctrl+F on through that file and you'll be done with those 160 items in no time!"  Haha! You're right! Oh yeah, they don't use any sort of consistent naming convention so HERSHEY is sometimes HRSHY and NESTLE is can be found under the NSTL abbreviation and of course, M&M is shortened to M&M.  Yeah, it's just so tedious.  So I worked on that for the entire five hours of work and got about half-way done.  Just for your knowledge, Sam's Club is cheaper... always.

Okay, you got me.  I didn't work on that the entire five hours.  I have this fabulous friend named Steena who works in the General Books department and we just put on different characters throughout the day.  Today was mostly british high society, but we just do random dance parties and short "mini-scenes" filled with drama-drenched excitement.  It gets me through the day.

At least half of it, because I get off at one o'clock.  Cut to my apartment...

So when I get home, first think I do is boil a pot of water and cleanse my pores... no just kidding.  But that's not a bad idea, maybe when I get the whole teeth-brushing thing down permanently, we can add that to my regimen.  I do indeed boil that water however.  If you must know, hot dogs, mac n' cheese, and assorted pastas with red sauce are major dietary staples.  After I ate, the afternoon consisted of MW2 and extended jam sessions with my beloved red "axe".  But guess what...

CHLOE IS COMING TO VISIT ME TOMORROW!!!

Well, she's coming to Tucson for a job interview so she isn't some jobless hippie when she moves here for school in the fall.  FYI Chloe is my younger sister and we get along just swimmingly.  And speaking of swimming, the Tucson weather is teasing me with it's storminess, yet lack of torrential downpour.

Fine, we'll close this up.  Volleyball tonight was a blast, whenever it was my turn to serve I would hunch over like I was about to start a speed-skating race, toss up the vb, and smack it with the force of a man who works out often and has nice biceps!  It looked beautiful... all the way up until it hit the net or landed out of bounds.  No matter though, because I would just make up for it in regular field play by taking care of my position, Ashley's position, and whomever else's position I would darn well please at the time (Ashley, in this case refers to one Ashley Esser, a young, hip debutante with her own brand of spunk who enjoys indie music, men she can't have, and occasionally being asked to flash other young drunk women when floating down the Salt River).  She's a great friend.

I don't work again until Monday, so I will strive for adventures to liven up this blog.  Sorry for boring you with this one....
