I have bangs!

So in the whole bleaching debacle, the hair that came out came out in such a configuration that it resulted in producing incredibly cute, perfectly shaped bangs! Holy crap! It is so odd! I suppose the adage about every cloud having a silver lining is true.

In other interesting news, I may have discovered the cause of some of my coworkers stress. This is the one that is New Account Girl (NAG-well, that couldn’t have worked out better. LOL!). NAG has been falling more and more behind in her work. She is poorly organized and slow. I have helped in the past, but honestly, I don’t feel so inclined anymore, even though I have been kind of assigned as her helper. Mind you, she has yet to even train me on the system I need to use. Yes, I know I can figure it out on my own, but this is how I can be a bitch about it. Look, she is a nice girl, but how much sympathy can you have for someone who is on personal calls all day and is always talking with someone at her desk, but yet is the loudest person to cry when she feels overworked.

This morning, I saw the email in which she is out of the office. Never you mind that she didn’t bother telling me personally. She just is out and I found out from someone else. I mentioned it to her current temporary helper, who happened to know the reason behind the absence. She is due in court today. Apparently she is being sued by some jackhole who she had been in an accident with. The accident took place 2 years ago! That should be a fucking crime. No one should be allowed to sue for something like that so much later down the road. It is bullshit! Anyhoo, it sounds like this may be what has caused her to be so stressed. I still maintain she could be exhibiting a better work ethic (as I sit her and write a blog on the company dime) but I am choosing to cut her a hint of slack, at least for today.

I have a dental appointment this afternoon to replace a filling. It is only a pain because it cuts into homework time. I would have the boys work on their homework while I am in the chair, but being that I don’t think I will be able to talk much, it will only result in them not doing it. Sigh. Oh well, such is life, right?

So in the spirit of “owning it” I set out yesterday to uber organize my soccer crap. I made folders for every month. I filed everything correctly. I also made sure to print out check request forms that I will be insisting that everyone MUST fill out in order for me to cut them a check. I didn’t get a chance to enter some data in Quicken, but I will do that hopefully later this week when I have some time. I figure if I treat it like I do my job, then it will be less of an issue. I even cut all the checks on pending invoices. I still need a second signature on them, but I will obtain those on Saturday during the registration event.

Such vivid and strange dreams again. Not sure what is causing them. They are not bad or anything, but these last few nights have been so strangely clear and precise to the point where as I am driving and I see something, it will trigger a memory almost as if it was something that really happened. When I delve into it further, it occurs to me that it was only a random dream sequence.

I am insanely sore still. On Monday I did my workout but did the weights routine. I had been doing only cardio for a few weeks due to my pulling my back. I thought that I would try to alternate each day. Yesterday I did the treadmill, hoping that it would help relieve my thighs which are still screaming at me from the squats and other exercise I did on Monday. Sadly, I feel just as sore today, if not a little more so. I will not be doing weights today, despite the plan. I will once again just walk. Yes, it means I do need to do more squats to keep stretching it out, but I don’t want to injure myself to the point where I can’t do anything.

Anderson Cooper laughing is one of the most happy making sounds in the world.

I am planning on riding my bike to work. I started looking into it more, and it looks like at the very least I should be able to accomplish this during the month of July. The boys will be with Ken since they will be at summer camp. I won’t have to rush home. I am going to do a dry run between then and now and figure out how long it takes. I will need to get a reflective vest, a light for my bike and I will figure out some other logistics concerning what I bring to work each day. My purse may just be a backpack for a while. It will be a good 8 miles of ride time each day, which I think will be excellent. I will still hit up the gym, too. If it works out, I should be able to continue this routine even once the kids are back in school. I figure if I take less than 45 minutes to get home, I have plenty of time to get home, get their bikes (which I am hoping Ken will start taking with them next school year so I don’t have to pick them up) and head up to the school to pick them up. I am guessing I will need to leave for work no later than 4:15, so I may end up needing to get up a smidge earlier, but we shall see. Hell, I may do my make up at my desk, so that will save a little time. I am excited!
