I am at work. Again.

I miss my weekends.

There was a Cute Girl From Vermont who expressed interest, then backed off as though I had scalded her when I mentioned that, due to the Olympics, my schedule was FUBAR until the end of March. I can't blame her, but I'm disappointed.

Meow.


Work switched my schedule around this weekend so I'd be working days instead of nights, so I have to miss [livejournal.com profile] maya_banana's baby shower tomorrow, which SUCKS.

My father wanted to take me and my mother to the theatre sometime soon, too, but between my schedule and the paucity of available tickets, we can't all go at the same time. It would have worked if I was free on weekends, ironically, but since I don't have any free weekends for the next forseeable EVER, I guess that's right out.

Sometimes I have to remind myself very forcefully of why I like this job.

We miss you, Phnee!

The scheduling thing sucks rocks for sure. But it will pass. In the meantime, keep posting! I miss seeing your updates, even the ones you think are very boring!

Gah. I feel like the most boring person in the universe.

"Went to work. Came home. Fed the cats. Went to bed." Lather, rinse, repeat.

Honey, that is my day. Every day. With a smattering of "Almost but did not quite kill annoying coworker." and "Meant to do housework and cook. Had a nap instead."

I can't help but notice that you don't blog about that either. ;)

I'm all for cute girls from Vermont. Or Canada.

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
So'm I! Apparently, though, I'm not allowed to have any.

I'm in a similar boat (well, minus the Olympic and a Cute girl from Vermont, which seriously would be really nice right now...and I need to get out of my Valentine's Day funk)

I've got my first weekend of the month coming up next weekend. Now that I'm at the point of "Weekends? What are those again?"

I'm going, at least I'm there on OT tonight, which will get me through it.

Stupid Valentine's Day. It makes three-quarters of the Western world lose their collective minds.

I dunno where I got the impression that you were happily married/shacked up. Weird.

Oh, I agree about Valentine's Day. My hunny N and I call it Hallmark Day... and I hated it when I was single.

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
See, I like it in principle. I've always been single on Valentine's Day, though, and it kind of sucks.

Okay, it sucks a lot.

[identity profile] guruwench.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes,it does suck. :( I wish I could do something to make it not-suck for everyone.

[identity profile] brigidmn.livejournal.com 2010-02-21 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Nope...no one for me at the moment...I'm sadly back living with my parents for now.

And the only good part to Valentine's day is the 15th. OR Half-price Chocolate Day. That's a holiday worth celebrating.

I'm sorry life is not being nicer to you. If you'd like I'll have a stern talking with it and see if it'll straighten out for you.

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I think my entry came off as bleaker than I intended. Not having free weekends is a bummer, but on the whole life is being pretty nice to me. :)

I was mainly trying to be humorous to get a smile. I'm glad it only the no weekends thats the problem.

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
The humour worked, too! I totally smiled trying to picture giving Life a stern talking-to. :)

I'm so sorry to hear about the lack of Cute Girl from Vermont (or from anywhere, for that matter).

Nice to see you posting again, and I miss the Phnee when you don't. :)

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. I'm trying to stay vaguely optimistic that there will be other Cute Girls.

I haven't been posting much 'cause there's not much to tell, alas.

[identity profile] guruwench.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Re other Cute Girls, I have no doubt that there will be others.

I've been pretty busy here too with minimal stuffs to post... though this week has bee All Kitties All The Time.
