and we frolicked about

It was pretty chilly this morning! It didn't help that I didn't sleep that great (not that that's anything new) so I was feeling the effects of that and the lower morning temps weren't fun. If we had those temps in February I'd be like- hot damn! But right now when it's still in the teens during the day, or even warmer, it's like a punch to the gut. A cold punch.

The new girl at work, S, has started and she's super nice. She's also very concerned with making sure she's doing things right, she's taking notes and asking questions and trying to actually get the hang of things instead of just making shit up like H did. We're STILL finding things in ads and whatnot that she did wrong, that have come back to haunt us. I think once she gets the hang of things she's going to be great. It'll be nice to have someone else who actually DOES THEIR JOB in the department again.

I have been watching new shows, of course, and seeing what I might like.

The Playboy Club: meh. It just worked out that I managed to watch it but I'm not going to DVR it and it's definitely a show that if I miss and episode I won't catch up and then I'll lose interest.
2 Broke Girls: I wasn't expecting to like this show at all but I lol'd. Very sitcom, very cliche at times but I liked the one-liners and I don't mind the characters bouncing off each other.
The New Girl: I didn't think I'd like this one and I didn't. I thought it was boring, I was put off from the promos and I'm not a fan of Zooey. I don't like that awkward, quirky, oblivious thing. This show felt like that horrible Sandra Bullock movie where she marched to the beat of her own drummer but Zooey has better hair. Hated the random singing. HATED.
Whitney: Yeah, no.
Ringer: Honestly, the premise didn't impress me from the start but I'll stick with it for a few weeks, at least. I heard that it's supposed to get really good in ep 3 or something. I have the 2nd ep DVR'd but I haven't watched it yet.
The Secret Circle: I'm def. sticking with this one. I don't care if people thought the pilot was shitty. I thought it was leaps and bounds above TVD and look how awesome that one turned out to be?

The only things it looks like I have on my plate for tomorrow are Revenge and ANTM (I KNOW, SHUT UP!). I want to watch the auditions of X Factor since that's the only part of the singing competitions I like but I don't know if I'll bother.

Anyhoodle. Getting geared up to start posting at rockstar_pink! I have some textures I want to post but I'd like to get some TSC icons under my belt first. Follow the comm if you want to kept up to date with my graphics and resources and whatnot.

I am exhausted but I had to stay up to watch the premiere of Sons of Anarchy. I didn't sleep well last night and I was pretty busy today at work because it's just me and my boss, aS H is gone and AD has taken vacation. If anything it should make the week go by faster!

H, however, continues to haunt us with her errors. We had to write off a memoriam and I felt SO DAMN BAD for the lady because she was so emotional about it as it was her son and five years. I don't know what happened but it was just all wrong. When my boss came to the counter and asked, "Who did it?" I just looked at her and she said, "I don't even need to ask." She also somehow booked an ad into classifieds and retail, but luckily we caught it when the people clearing the ads for tomorrow asked about it and I was like, "Um, it's here." The money was attached to our ad so it would have used up lineage and would have had to be written off. OY VEY, YO!

AS is also trying to stir up shit again about the position in classifieds and is throwing H under the bus. She FB'd my boss and was trying to be conversational (using her kid as a means to talk to her!) but was just trying to get dirt and trying to get my boss to say mean things about H. I mean, we all think H is lovely as a person but, honestly, she's dumber than a sack of hammers. She was not cut out for this job. But we are NOT saying this to AS because that's all she needs. She doesn't realize that the position has been filled with a former employee of the news who won't be swayed by AS' deviousness. She flat out said in one of her messages that the news person had better be gone by March so she can come back. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

The lesson in all this? Petty high school bullshit attitudes and mean girl mentalities aren't just magically grown out of. They stick with some people and make them mean, devious, nasty, dirty women.

In other, less dramatic and annoying news-- I have a new icon comm! spuzz has parted ways with morbid_girls after four years because our tastes are very different now and it's hard to be part of a "Girls" group when you're just a girl so I've created rockstar_pink! Named after my new glittery nail polish (that's annoying as fuck, actually because glitter is SO DAMN HARD to get off your nails but this shit keeps chipping, ugh) and because I wanted a FUN name/look/everything. I love the layout and the banners and the colours. Ten years ago I was never a "pink" girl but now I apparently am VERY MUCH.

There's not a lot there just yet but I spent HOURS yesterday updating my Post Guide and re-linking broken icons and such and adding all the new stuff from the past motherfucking FOUR YEARS. This way I don't have to move any posts or anything. I want to try to make and/or post icons this week, too.

OH! And, I picked up Season 2 of Community on DVD, too! Whee!

Shortest amount of time I've ever kept a layout, I believe. This one I haven't had time to customize but I had to change it because for some reason on the other one that I really liked the text kept going to the left, right off the layout so I couldn't see anything. I'd even stretched everything as far as it could go without me having to scroll horizontally but for some reason when I loaded it today it went right off the edge, moreso then I'd seen in the past couple days. Ugh.

It's STILL snowing. It hasn't been snowing constantly for a week but it's snowed every day for a week. We're not used to that here. The temps are -20 to -28 and the roads aren't any better right now. Sometimes I see proper road to drive on but a couple hours later there's been more snow and then a couple hours after that people have driven over it so much it's ice again. FUUUUUUUUCK.

Still haven't heard from student loan, either, so I'll have to call them tomorrow. Fuckers. My anxiety about it is hovering below the surface at the moment and I can think about it for a little bit without getting too worked up but then I start to dwell and then I start freaking out again. I don't want to go apeshit on them when I talk to them but I'm so far on the fucking edge right now that I don't know if I'll be able to keep it together without them leaving notes like, "psychotic" and "handle with care" in my file.

Can someone explain to me why there's this sudden need for the TSA to either a) take near-naked photos of you or b) molest you while flying? This is a serious question, I don't understand what prompted this new change. I knew the new scanners were coming but why the need to touch every part of my body now? I'm not planning on flying any time soon (see above, re: money, I has none) but I haven't heard if these new measures were prompted by something. Whenever I've flown I did the regular scanner, then the wand if needed and then, if they couldn't figure out why I was beeping, they'd pat me down and I was okay with that. So why the need to jump straight to the naughty places without reason? I honestly don't know which way I'd go, if given the option to do the new scanner or pat down now. I don't trust the supposedly safety of the images being taken not being leaked seeing as how they already have been but I don't want someone touching me all over without a few dinner dates first, either.

I hate those new holiday Futureshop commercials where people either open gifts or flyers or something and this weird cartoon red and white world flitters out to the took of someone taking a squeaky fart. They creep me out a bit, not going to lie.

And speaking of things that creep me out--the holiday episode of Community is going to be done in stop animation/claymation and I don't know if I'll be able to watch it. That shit seriously weirds me out and makes me feel uncomfortable. I think it's because they're close to being life-like but not and they're close to being animation, but they're not. Anyhow. I don't know.

Let's see. My right eyebrow has been twitching, along with my left eye. Student loan's on my ass a bit, but my application for debt relief is still in limbo and has been since fucking JUNE. My lawyer is trying to figure out how to proceed with my case with the accident and I don't know if there's anything to help secure a bigger settlement than the base limit (UGH, so irritating since I'm still in pain). Work is ... work, I guess. It's stressful enough but not HORRIBLY right now. But still. New girl still hasn't clicked with me and even after a month she's still NOT GETTING IT. I can't afford to see my therapist and I'm not doing well right now, mentally. Luckily I told my doctor on Monday and he said there's an in-clinic therapist who I can see for free because I'm a patient there. Hallelujah.

ON the bright side of things I've fallen in love with Sons of Anarchy (see below), The Vampire Diaries is awesome at the moment, Gracie's doing well, I just bought a 32" flatscreen LCD TV for $100 today (and it's not stolen!) and I get Thursday off so I can enjoy Misfits in peace! A lot of the high points in my life right now revolve around TV, sure, but I'll take them where I can get them.

Bought my ticket for the midnight opening of HP, too. That should be super fun, even though it looks like I'm going alone. Then the week after is my Christmas party at work so a friend is coming to that. I'm looking forward to that.

Someday I'll post something that isn't caps.
