Rain, rain … go AWAY!

I don’t know if it’s the fact that it’s been so damn gloomy and rainy all week or if it’s something else. But today just wasn’t a good day. I wasn’t in a pissy mood, but I was definitely in a mood. I’ve got a serious case of the blues. :rain: :G-frown:

This morning seemed to go by pretty quickly. But this afternoon just drug on. 5 o’clock couldn’t get here quick enough.

I kept waiting for Kelly to show up at the office. Yesterday Justin mentioned that she might stop in. I was hoping she would so I could get my overtime check. Monday was payday. Kelly called (since she works from home now and only comes in every now and again) to ask if it was okay if I only got my regular salary on my check and got my overtime later in the week. I guess the guy who does our payroll was on vacation or something. I said it was fine because I wanted needed my check. I assumed I would get it Wednesday or today since Kelly’s in sometimes on Wednesdays and Justin is in on Thursdays. Well, Justin was in yesterday, and Kelly never showed up today.

I usually don’t mind being in the office my myself. I am on Tuesdays, some Wednesdays, and Fridays. I can plug my mp3 player into my speakers and not have to use headphones. And I’m not distracted with questions and other noises. But some times it’s a real pain in the ass. Like when paydays fall on days when I’m in the office myself. I hate asking when I’m going to get my check … but dammit, I earned that check and I need it to pay bills. In those cases, I generally get it early, but I still hate asking. And the floor I work on is basically empty except for us and Chris and Carla across the hall. There are days I feel completely alone up there … and that’s not a good thing for me. It helps that both Chris and Carla stop over every now and then … even if it’s just for a second as they come or go. But that helps.

What’s really getting on my nerves lately is that I have no idea when the “regular” schedule for Justin changes … at least not until he either shows up or pops up on ICQ. I’m the kind of person who likes a regular routine. I like to know what is going on in advance. Like yesterday … I had NO idea that Justin was going to be in the office. Not that it really mattered, but it would have been nice to know. That just meant that he wasn’t in the office today.

So I STILL don’t have my damn overtime check. I’ve got 5 ½ hours of overtime pay due me. I want it dammit. And now I won’t get it until Monday since no one else is in the office tomorrow. :censored: I wanted to know how much I could spend at WalMart/Target/KMart (wherever I decide to go) and how much stuff I can get. I’m at the point where I need to replenish a lot of my stuff … Tide/Downy/kitchen stuff/etc/etc/etc. I also wanna put more into savings. I’m getting really antsy about getting a laptop. I want one NOW!! I put $100 in last nite, so I’ve got $700 earmarked for a laptop, but the one I’m looking at on Dell.com is just under $1100. Plus I’ll need the accessories to go with it (wireless router, carrying bag, etc). My cousin might be able to get me one for just under $900. That would be nice, but I’ll have to see the specs first.

I’ve got the TV off right now and my stereo on (with Chris Daughtry in the player) hoping it would pick my mood up, but it hasn’t worked. Music usually can. Maybe Chris just isn’t doing it today. Hopefully I can get distracted with all my shows on tonite (Y&R on SoapNet at 6, Ugly Betty at 7, CSI at 8, and GH on SoapNet at 9). Guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

I’m starting to feel all ADD right now, so I think it’s time to end this post. I’ve jumped back and forth writing it anyways. I’m just not focused right now. Good thing Y&R is on in about 2 minutes. Time to get lost is a soap opera since I have no life of my own … :G-razz3:
