Grrrr!

My boss is fine, mostly. But when she has a bad day.. oh boy.. She makes everyone around her miserable. Complains about everything. She made me so angry yesterday that I decided to buy chocolate to make me feel better. It didn't help. So I chose alcohol. Few Bailey's and four or so glasses of white wine made me feel better. I didn't care I had to be at work at 6:15am the next day. We watched South Park on DVD and ate pizza and drank wine. It was fun. But not too fun.. Felt fine, yet tired, when I woke up.. But I'm still pissed off and I don't even want to see her. I sent my colleague to the kitchen coz I really don't want to go and I can't think of anything to do to excuse no one not going. I was counting on the invoices, I thought they'd come today. Lots and lots of invoices to keep me busy all day. But maybe tomorrow

I'm going to get my passport photo taken today. I bet it's going to be horrible but whose isn't? And on Friday I have an appointment for the passport application. Need to be ready to travel wherever we decide next week.

oh no

I just realized I only have one posting week all month. Which basically means I can sleep longer but also that I have to deal with people and their stupid questions and helplessness. Why does everyone expect us to know everything? Just coz we sit here in the lobby or the "info" as some call it(not us) we're not informed about everything. Besides we're usually the last to know about any changes. It's frustrating. 4 more weeks I have to stand, then it's time for my vacation :) Can't wait.

I'm not one bit jealous of those you start their vacations today. It's raining now. It's going to be cold and cloudy next week. Not the ideal vacation weather.

but onto something more positive. or at least a bit more positive. I had a semi-nice dream last night. It's good to have such dreams, they keep me feeling good for hours after waking up. Although so much unpleasant has already happened, so the effect of the dream is fading away :(

Don't ask what it was about, I'm not going to tell, but it's what you think ;)

How did the days get so long?

Third day in a row, at work, feeling like one work day is as long as two work days were still last week.. Maybe it's because of the wonderful weather. Sunshine outside and I'm stuck inside for the best part of the day.
I'm hoping all this weather will make the strawberries grow happily and fast so we'd get good, cheap berries soon.
Unfortunately my next month is full of 8 or 8,25 h days and not the normal 7,5.. Long days.. At least I get 2 full days off as well. and in six more weeks, actually more like 5 weeks and 2 days, it's vacation time for me. With my luck the weather will go bad come August and stay bad all month.

the best juhannus ever!!

I had so much fun.
Although it might have been the very first time I had plans for the weekend. And we had so much fun. It was a great group of 6. It would have been a shame if there had been someone who doesnt like karaoke, alcohol and board games.
On Friday we got up around 6:30 am and some of us stayed up until around 2:30 am. Long fun day it was.
Saturday was a bit dull, mostly anyway since it was all rain. Everyone was tired all day.
On Sunday I managed to get sun burned. My right arm is all red and achy. It came from sitting in the harbor at the pizza place.
I wouldnt have wanted to go home and end the weekend but at the same time I wanted to go home to my honey and my cats. And I most certainly wasnt ready to come back to work this morning. This is just too much. I can barely keep my eyes open. 2 hours of this I have to last. and then 4 more day. six more weeks..

Juhannus is just around the corner!

Wohoo!
I've really been waiting for it, since for the first time in ages I have real plans for it. My friends and I are going to my mom's.
Yesterday, 3 days before "take-off" we ran into trouble. Big trouble. No car. We were counting on A&J getting the car for the weekend but now we learned it's not going to happen. Just my luck.
I started to panic and even asked a car rental place how much would it cost to rent a car. But apparently the panic is over and we're getting a car. Although sometime in the evening on Thursday so we'll be there very late. Unless. there's a possibility that I have to drive one car over there, so that would mean we'd have 2 cars going there and that would mean that some of us could go in the afternoon as planned. S&J could follow us when they get their car, I could fix up a good map for them or they could drive on Friday morning and meet us at the market in Kuopio on Friday around 11-ish?
I suppose I'll have to develop some patience and wait to hear how late they get the car and so on.. And stop stressing.

something interesting

I just met Anssi Koivuranta and Sanni Leinonen.
For those who don't know them, they're a world champion and a world champion-to-be.

Not a very egoboosting to see her, all skinny and pretty and then see my own reflection in the window.
Makes me feel so fat and ugly and failure.

But on the positive note, this is a wonderful, sunny day. Not very hot, but we'll get there tomorrow and sunday. Perfect day to hit a terrace with a friend and a few ciders :)

Great

I spent three hours in Eden. Tried pretty much everything. Cold water pool twice(actually went up to my neck in that freezing water), outdoor pool three times, turkish sauna, roman sauna. three sets of waves. Spent most of the time climbing stairs to slides. I don't feel older than 10 or so, at least not when I'm in a place like that. I was happy to see even older people than me using the slides regularly. Didn't make me feel so old. I went alone and spent 3 hours! Not too bad
Saw BB-Johan. haha. Working there as a lifeguard.
Then 2 hours in Tesoma. Dad called and asked for a loan for a week and I said ok if you change the lights to the car. I had just bought new lights for it before Eden and was supposed to change them.. It was so lucky dad called me today of all days.
He also checked that everything works so it should be fine now.
I was told that back in the 80s I used to know all the makes (and perhaps even models) of all the passing cars. Daddy also promised he'd buy me a C30 if he wins the lotto.
I had breakfast at around 10am, it's now 6pm and a bit more and I've only had 2 ice creams all day. Plus the soup I'm having now.
All and all a pretty awsome day
ps. I suppose I should be flattered when they still ask for my ID when I buy wine.. Haven't been 18 for ages
