How I spent the last 36 hours of my life
Jun. 1st, 2005 09:26 pm- Being told I was eligible for a promotion, which I will be interviewing for tomorrow morning. (If I get it, it will mean I will be phased out of travel!!!!!!1)
- Being sent on a last-possible-second trip, rushing home to pack and bring dog to boarders, getting on the road.
- Driving for four hours through Atlanta rush-hour and the North Georgia mountain backroads in twilit driving rain with my mother sobbing to me over the phone until my signal faded completely. (FUCK YOU SPRINT. FUCK YOU I SAY.)
- Spending the night with an Indian family in their hotel, smelling Indian food through the walls and knowing that the food was not for me.
- Working for six hours, then driving for four more, back home, again in driving rain, and arriving about half an hour too late to pick Flan up at the vet.
- Collapsing on bed for an hour.
- Deciding that the enormous tension/anxiety/exhaustion headache I have going would be alleviated only by judicious application of chicken nuggets from Popeyes and a fruit and yogurt parfait from McDonald's (yes two fast food restaurants in one night shut up okay) and about two extra hours worth of sleep.
- Talking to Coco! And Keri! :D:D:D:D
I bet you wish you were me! Oh, my glamorous, glamorous life.
On the other hand, the chicken nuggets and yogurt seem to be working their magic. I am a simple soul, you see.
