And in better, more positive news...
Jan. 28th, 2008 11:43 am1) Yesterday I went thrift store shopping with [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for work clothes. I budgeted $80 for the venture. For $81.25, I got the following:
3 pairs of pants
5 skirts
3 shirts
All of which are fabulous and actually look good, because I had the fashionista there and she basically grabbed stuff and made me try it on. Today I'm wearing one of the shirts (blue stripes, very professional looking, and yet also looks good with jeans), and a skirt (dark grey/navy-ish wool with a lighter grey check, about the same length as the Swishy Black Miniskirt (TM) ). I'm also wearing the perfume I got from Lauren for Christmas, because I really needed the boost today and it smells so good.
2) I got approved for a Dead Like Me game I found over on Insane Journal. Whether it actually starts up remains to be seen, but for now, I have my new boy - Andy, the Australian backpacker/hippie type who died in the 1970s after contracting hepatitis B in India, and who has Ben Lee as his face. ;)
3) I spoke to Jane and there was no Disappointment. I do need to go get her files for next week ready tho'.
4) I need coffee.

2) Andy is so much fun already in my head. I have to wait until I get home to put up his profile, tho'. *pouts*
3) Jane's in tomorrow. Kind of had to do the file prep. *grins*
4) No coffee, but I have Coke again? And mac 'n' cheese for lunch which was exactly what I wanted.

2) *giggle* Yes, you poor thing, you have to wait, what? Three more hours? *teases*
3) I know, I know, but you're really efficient, lady. I'm just saying.
4) Don't you love it when that happens? I love getting exactly what I want.
