Mondays suck

My hatred of Mondays grows every week.  There is no real good reason for us to have to work on a Monday..........but I suppose we'd hate Tuesdays just as much if we had Mondays off. But whoever came up with the "40 hour, 5 day workweek", was an idiot.  I'm all for adding in an 8th day of the week and adding it to the weekends. That would make the work week bearable.  And who says the current Calendar system is the best one? I mean...cavemen used to start fires by rubbing sticks together.......nowadays we use matches..lighters and fucking FLAMETHROWERS. The Moral : We found a better way !!  So let's find a better way with the work week too. All in favor...say I !!!
With that rant out of the way....it's back to the gym tonight.....I haven't been there since last Thursday and it feels like it's been weeks  But with the Easter meal, and all the damn junk food they continue to lay out in work.....I need to get my ass back in the gym and work it all off. What the hell happened to my self control any way?  I'm back on the wagon starting today (Monday, April 25th)....no more junk...well.....I will start after I grab a couple more of those chocolate pretezel things on the desk in front of my office......but that's it...after that..no more dammit !!!  :)

Anniversary party

Tonight I am heading out to an anniversary party....which couldn't possibly have been scheduled on a WORSE night. It's game #5 for the Bruins tonight and I really wanna watch the game.  I was seriously thinking about not going or going and pretending to not feel good and leaving early.....but one of my friends just told me the hosts (Mark and Ginene) mentioned that they know I am the BIGGEST Bruins fan on the planet...and they don't mind if I leave early as long as I at least show up to wish them a Happy Anniversary.  It's great to have friends who understand priorities  :)  LOL  But they did say there will be alot of BIG TV's at the pub where they are having the party.....so I may be able to get away with watching it all there.  Either way...it's gonna be a light drinking night....tomorrow is Easter...and I am not ruining my easter meal over alcohol.....especially since my mother is cooking .  I'm no fool  LOL  :)

Starnger things have happened...but not much stranger

So a couple weeks ago...I wrote about my friend who I have been thinking about on a daily basis for a while now........and last night she calls me out of the blue.  She finally has decided to get a divorce from her husband.(The complication I had mentioned...well..one of them..the OTHER being that he is an MMA fighter  LOL)  But she confesses to me that she DOES have similar feelings for me that I have for her...but she isn't gonna rush into any kind of a relationship for a little while.  Well...DUH....I don't sleep with married people....especially if their husbands are lethal killers in the ring  ha ha.  But any way...she did say she's like to hang out with me more....watch some movies....(we have very similar taste in movies) and she said a couple other things which I will not mention here  ha ha.  But the long and short of it is...I was kinda shocked that she had taken this aggressive approach...she never had shown this side before. It kinda makes me wonder if she was afraid of being herself while she was married ...well...happily married any way.   I know what that is all about....been there done that myself.    But we went out for  a little while last night...grabbed a bite to eat...and talked for a couple hours.  I know I said I was never gonna tell her what my feelings were...but I did tell her some of it.....since she was being honest with me, I felt I could tell her without fear of rejection.   It was a great talk....and we both came away from it feeling alot better about where things stand. I could never have acted on MY feelings while she was happily married...and I probably will still hold off on anything physical with her until she is at least moved out of her house....I would love to be with her.....but I also don;t want an MMA fighter coming after me trying to kill me either (I'm not an idiot....right???LOL).  But according to her...they both want out of the relationship...so hopefully he isn't one of those jealous possessive types.  Time will tell I guess.  But any way...it was an interesting night....and I am glad to know that my instincts were right (they always seem to be in the end) about her ...I KNEW she had some feelings for me beyond friendship....but you just don;t wanna take the chance of being wrong and possibly ruining a long time friendship. I love hanging out with her..she is so positive and that is the only type of person I will strike up a friendship now...and I have made a few friendships liek that in the past couple of years....what a difference it makes in my daily mood too)  So we will see what happens.......for now...I am gonna keep my distance enough to not interfere in her situation..but also stay close enough to be there for her and to be ready to step up to the next level if possible (eventually).   I feel like I did everything the right way this time......hopefully it will be worth the wait.  Time will tell ....and I will keep updating about it.

Day from hell.....

I think the WEEK FROM HELL is more accurate so far, but I am thinking positive and hoping that the rest of the week goes better.  My boss is on vacation, so I have to do alot of his work....deal with that FUCKING coin machine.....do my own work (still catching up on last week's stuff too since I had to put that on hold for a couple days)....and also fix a SHITLOAD of mistakes that Natick has been making.  Yesterday, I had 3 calls transferred to me that were for JEN...not me....my name starts with a K.....gonna change my name to TRAVIS so no one gets mixed up any more....grrrr   I also had an angry customer transferred to me from Natick who wanted me to remove a hold on his account from his debit card.  Funny thing was...the only person who could actually DO that...was the one who transferred me the call (since Jen and Sandy had gone home already).....so I transferred it back to Natick (after asking Gladys what to do).   These vacations are doing a number on all of us...especially me and also poor Lauren who is by herself in the loan dept.  Then add in that we lost a teller last week..and this TERRIBLE timing of going live with the new Home Banking stuff the same week as we are VERY shorthanded......and it's just been brutal this week.   But ya know what...we survived it today......and even though I am exhausted ...it's a good "tired"....I even went to the gym after work......so it's not gonna ruin my night......gonna get a good night's sleep...wake up with a positive attitude....and HOPEFULLY..tomorrow will go much smoother And that's that.  :)

Just a random rant.....

It would be a good idea to either have your menu selections named in a way to not confuse your employees....OR...to hire people who are actually intelligent enough to understand what is being ordered.  For instance...yesterday.....the menus says "4 chicken tenders and fries"...this means 4 PIECES of chicken tenders...not 4 ORDERS or chicken tenders.  They have a 2 piece option too.....ok...simple enough....or so I thought....but when  the the kid tells me my order comes to 14.00 (roughly)...I had to ask why (call me inquisitive).  Yep..he thought I wanted 4 ORDERS.....I pointed to the menu behind him an told him I read it exactly as it was listed on there.......thankfully....he was at least understand that he made a mistake and didn't try to make me pay for his mistake.   But come on....you really should understand your own menu.   OK....that's it..nothing major....just a small rant to start my day  LOL

Finished with my personal trainer tonight

I have to say...I am very happy with the results....I started back in July....it's been a grind, but it was all worth it. I am in better shape than I have been in many years since my car accident....and I also learned exactly how to train better and eat better.  It's mind over matter and dedication.  So I joined World's Gym a few weeks ago too...and am also trying P90X...can't let up now......still working towards betting my six pack abs back......which is the hardest thing to do....but I will do it !!  Beach season is coming.....and that's my incentive !!

Unreal

So...now the person who I dated for a couple years...who has multiple personality disorder and who tried to kill me (well, one of her personalities tried to kill me).....has found me on Facebook. She said she misses me and wants me.....yeah..in THAT way  LOL  .   I would have to be a complete MORON to ever even THINK about going near her again.....after all the stuff I went through with her.  There's no decision to be made here.....all I have to do is look at the scars on my neck to ......the answer is NO !!!  PERIOD
