Okay, I applied for a job over the summer, and they require me to take a drug test. My mother is my only mode of transportation, so she decides it’ll be easier if i go to work with her and then proceed to the testing place sometime midmorning. It’s 6:30, and the 4th attempt at waking me up. Takes me 5 minutes to open my eyes due to my odd sleeping habits which keep me up at all hours. Then I proceed to the shower. The water was lukewarm, not cold, not hot. I am irritated because this does no wake me up, it just makes me cold, and for some strange reason produces an odd breeze inside the bathroom. I swear my mother must have been messing around with the water or something while I was in there. I get out, get dressed and proceed downstairs. She tells me to get my things together, and we get in the car and are off to work. It’s only 7:15, and as soon as she gets out of the driveway, she lights up a cigarette. It’s way too early and my eyes are too dry to put in contacts, let alone not able to handle smoke. We finaly get to work, and she happens to pass some of her coworker friends and begins chatting with them. And then she starts in on the stupid jokes about the drug test. I mean, one is okay, but after the 8th person she joked with about this in front of me, I was pretty irritated by this. Being that it is early and I’m awake at that ungodly hour, I am fiercely hungry. 20 minutes after all this bullshit, we head down to the cafeteria where my mother tries to push eggs, bacon, etc on me to eat, even though she nags me to lose weight. [WTF?] I get my large cup of tea and nearly burn myself carrying it back to her office. [stupid poorly insulated cups and cheap insulation thingies.] I get bored and start drawing a penguin. Finally, 8:30 rolls around, and we head over to the place b/c the person who interviewed me told me the place opened around 8. We get there, and ask about the procedure, and the lady says, “We don’t do that stuff until 9:30.” This pisses me off to no end because: #1- I’m awake when I could be still sleeping, #2- the person who interviewed me didn’t inform me of this, and did not leave a phone number of the place when it wasn’t listed in the phone book, #3- I really didn’t feel like bumming around my mother’s workplace for another hour until the place started doing this crap. I go back to her work and surf the internet for an hour and a half. We finally go back, and the woman at the counter [different one this time] gives me all this bullshit about procedure, etc. I finally get home, and my mother is bitching about the schmucks who came to our door yesterday asking for cigarettes. She goes on and on about how she sees the people beat up their parents in public, etc., and I just want to go and sleep. Too late now. I’ve already been awake for too long. Hope no one had a shitty day. Thank god I am having a decent afternoon.
Has something to do with Mercury being in retrograde. Somebody told me that all kinds of crap will malfunction and go screwy. I don’t know if I believe it, but it’s supposed to go on for ONLY three more weeks. Keep your chin up.
I have had the most difficult time waking up this week! On Tuesday morning I dreamt that I woke up, started my routine and was ready to walk out the door. Then my alarm rang and I actually did get up.
Arrrrgh
It’s around 3, and I just realized I’ve been laughing my ass off at the dumbest things today. Hope this doesn’t mean anything other than me having a lack of sleep that might make me a bit slap happy.
Usually I’m up at 5 every morning. This morning is our second last day (tomorrow we only go in for a couple of hours) and I didnt have to be in till 9:30 because most of the staff went golfing. Here I sat tho, at 5:00 a.m. cussing myself for not staying in bed. My year end party is tonite and Im beat… off for a nap.
