Its been one of those days....

“Let's just say I've been busy and very stressed. Luckily, the cookie dough I ordered from a co-worker's daughter (fundraiser) arrived today!

Dough is open, my spoon is ready to go!”

“How can we de-stress Smiley G ;o)”

“hope things get better!”

“Watch out! Ynamiynami's on the loose!”

“Y-squared, thanks, but I'm feeling like I can handle the world after 6-7 spoonfulls of cookie dough.

C'mon, who else eats it? You ever afraid you'll die from the raw eggs? (someone at work who caught me eating it asked)”

“You should go trouncing around in this wonderful snow we just got! Drive to Waterloo/Pickney and just veg on a trail for an hour or so.

Wish I could join ya. Can you make it to Jordan in April?”

“My wife eats raw cookie dough.”

“wait, you got ice cream del to you?”

“Must be a female 'thing'.”

“I thought the Haagen Dasz with the cookie dough in it was kinda weird at first, but it ain't half bad, <G>”

“damn - brushed off so easily ;o)”

“She can't hear your accent, ynami...the curse of the Internet...”

“SG - cookie dough is the best!! 'Specially if you take some chocolate syrup & pour it overtop... mmmmm :o)”

“I know - maybe if I start spelling with an accent.


"Colour", "Biscuit Dough"”

“well now youre turning ME on”

“Boy, that backfired...”

“I dunno - any port in a storm..... ;o)”

“I'll eat cookie dough! but then I'll eat things that have been in my fridge way past the "female expiration date".”

“that's purely theoretical anyway Bear.”

“medic girl - is that you ??? long time no see err hear err whatnever”

“Very theoretical. So the question is: will a women who eats cookie dough also eat week old Chinese?”

“eat a weak old chinese?”

“It's just one of those days
When you don't want to wake up
Everything is #&%!$ed
Everybody sucks

You don't really know why, but you want to justify
Ripping someone's head off
No human contact, and if you interact, your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away mother#&%!$er”

“Week not weak. Although, If I'm hungry enough.....”

“it's been one of those semesters for me..”

“simer, if you want to listen to some decent angst rock, pick up some nine inch nails or violent femmes”

“Smiley, sorry to hear that things have been rough for you lately. Hopefully they'll turn soon. Feel free to call if ya need to talk.”

“Got to work late 'cause my alarm was busted
The boss chewed me out and everybody's disgusted
'Cause it's one of those days, it's just one of those days

I lost one of my socks in the drier
I can't find my wallet and my hair is on fire
Just one of those days, it's just one of those days

I just wrapped my Cadillac around a tree
A big swarm of locusts is following me
There's not even anything good on TV
It's just one of those day, it's just one of those days

Left all my Beatles records out in the sun
Got a Coke bottle stuck on the end of my tongue
It's just one of those days, gonna be one of those days

The nazis tied me up and covered me with ants
And I spilled toxic waste on my brand new pants
Just one of those days, ever have one of those days

The bank called me up and told me I'm overdrawn
Some freaks are burnin' crosses out on my front lawn
And I can't believe it, all the Cheetos are gone
It's just, just one of those, one of those days
Just one of those, one of those days

The F.B.I. has got a tap on my phone
Those darn Russian spies won't leave me alone
Shouldn't have got up this morning, should've known
It's just one of those days, it's just one of those days

A 747 crashed into my den
And there's nothin' but tater-tots for dinner again
It's just one of those days
Never mind, it's just one of those days

Big steamroller just ran over my mom
And I cut myself shaving and they're dropping the bomb
It's just one of those days
That's all, it's just one of those days

Then late at night, just before I go to bed
The world blows up and now everybody's dead
You just can't deny it, it's just like I said
Just, just one of those, one of those days
Just one of those, one of those days

It's just one of those days (just one of those, one of those days)
It's just one of those days (just one of those, one of those days)
It's just one of those days (just one of those, one of those days)
It's just one of those days (just one of those, one of those days)
It's just one of those days (just one of those, one of those days)
It's just one of those days (just one of those, one of those days)
It's just one of those days (just one of those, one of those days)
It's just one of those days”

“I consider baking the cookies a waste of perfectly good cookie dough! Have you tried to new Nestle Cookie Dough candy bar? Not as good as the real thing, but a good second!”

“okay, now I totally had cookie dough of my mind and then smiley girl posts this....

I love cookie dough. I LOVE IT. I think it's one of my favorite foods, this and sushi.”

“i listen to it all... just happen to post the song that fits the theme”

“COOKIE DOUGH SUSHI!”

“It'll cost ya a fin.”

“ewwwwwhhh bitpusher, now you ruined it. that's just gross!”

“Nothing of significane to add here. I'm just on a one man crusade to bury the Nightcrawlers thread.”

“does getting fired from your job, qualify as "post worthy" here?


got fired over nothing, today. stupid manager got his undies in a bunch, and actually had the balls to fire me. jerk.

oh well... i can do better somewhere else.”

“Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully it will turn out that he did you a favor.”

“thanks StickmanWalking. yeah... (*sigh*) ... me too.


it just sucks that i was singled out over nothing. the anger has subsided, ... now it's just resentment. that too will go away, i know, but it doesn't exactly fade away as fast as i'd like it to... 'ya know?”

“Well, if you are actually glad to be rid of the job, I suppose it wouldn't be worth it to press the issue that you were wrongfuly terminated if he did actually single you out over nothing.”

“Good point. I did mull the idea over in my mind, all day today, but because the GM was there, said nothing about the BS "reason" i was being term'd, I've decided against it. Was going to go to "corporate" and press the whole issue, ...then came to my senses. the entire stinking thing started over MY human error ... that i apologized for ... but escalated over "uniform not up to spec." Like i said earlier: he got his undies in a bunch and now i'm without a job. Sure, I'm a little happier that I'm not working there now, but only because I don't have to work with that idiot anymore. I still have to figure out what i'm going to do to pay my car payment and other bills. Ugh.

Life goes on.”

“Its just one of those days when you don't wanna wake up.

Everything is #&%!$ed. Everybody sux.

You don't really know why but want justify rippin' someone's head off.

No human contact and if you interact your life is on contract.

Your best bet is to stay away mother#&%!$er.

It's just one of those days!!

(chorus) its all about the he says she says bull#&%!$. I think you better quit lettin' #&%!$ slip or you'll be leavin with a fat lip. Its all about the he says she says bull#&%!$. I think you better quit talkin that #&%!$. (Punk, so come and get it)

its just one of those days feelin' like a freight train.

First one to complain leaves with a blood stain.

Damn right I'm a maniac.

You better watch your back cuz I'm #&%!$in' up your program.

And if your stuck up you just lucked up.

Next in line to get #&%!$ed up. Your best bet is to stay away mother#&%!$er.

Its just one of those days!!

(chorus)

I feel like #&%!$. My suggestion is to keep your distance cuz right now im dangerous.

We've all felt like #&%!$ and been treated like #&%!$.

All those mother#&%!$ers that want to step up I hope you know I pack a chain saw.

ill skin your ass raw. And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break somethin' tonight...

break your #&%!$in' face tonight!!

give me somethin' to break.

How bout your #&%!$in' face.

I hope you know I pack a chain saw, what!!...(chorus)”

“Yeah, sounds like he got into a pissing match with you and played his ultimate trump card. Too bad he abused his position and the GM didn't have the balls to intervene. What goes around comes around though. I would suggest you take any job you can get short of McDonalds just to pay the bills till something more up your alley comes along.”

“well..... batman luke... that's a little harsh! not exactly the kind of song i'd be singing any time soon, but it does get the message across.

personally, even though the exact words of this song don't fit "perfectly", ... the chorus says enough for me:

"Powerless (Say What You Want)"
Nelly Furtado

Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might

(Chorus)
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
So say what you want
Say what you want

I saw her face outside today
Weatherworn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Now it’s moccasins we sport
We take the culture and contort
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
But say what you want
Say what you want

Hey you, the one, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in
Hey you, the one that don’t fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your
Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo
Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do
Say what you want, say what you want, say, say, say

Cuz this life is too short,
just for you"

And it has a good beat too!”

“hey stickmanwalking... you and i must be on the same "wavelength" here. my 2 "motto's" in life are: people come into your life for a reason, and what goes around, comes around. Can't tell you how nice it was to hear that coming from someone else, today! Thanks. You just made my ... morning? wow... time to hit the sack! LOL!

And yeah... gonna hit the classified section tomorrow... keep a good thought in the back of your mind for me! :-)”

“limp bizkit is not even a remotely original or clever band”

Q - I left work at 5PM to help a cub scout troop with a conservation project. It was a really fun time, but it was not the right timing for me.


Jordan in April - No, I'll still be cramming for that silly P.E. test. :(

Sorry Y-squared, I'm taken at the moment, and have no reason or desire to look elsewhere. :))

Thanks, Birch! Just feels like every hammer is dropping at once. Plus, I'm not sleeping through the night again. That happenes when I'm way stressed. Lack of sleep doesn't help in dealing with the rest of life, but that cookie dough sure helped temporarily last night!! BTW, that song is pretty funny!



Holy Cow, trekkingalong! sorry to hear about your day yesterday. can i offer you some cookie dough???



Today's another day, and after working ~10 hrs, I'm headed to the library until it closes to study. I'm sort of at the point where I'll work hard to study for the test, but if I still don't pass it, then I can walk away from it truly knowing I've given it my all (more than once) and it just wasn't meant to happen for me. My life is starting to move in a different direction, and I need to turn my attention to that after this test is over.

I just have to get through the next month!!”

“"I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note* spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

(and while you're at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (and while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)

“i'm sorry you're stressed Smiley! that sucks. but i know what you mean about the cookie dough...when they came out w/cookie dough ice cream, that was like the best day of my entire life.”

“they might be giants rawk!”

“Smiley, April 16/17 is coming up too soon. I get to sit for the Struc II exam AGAIN on that Friday. It's bad enough to do eng work 10-12 hrs a day through the week and then to study all weekend really blows. I think I passed this along in January, but I have a friend who is now Senior VP of his firm. He passed the PE on about the fourth try. Don't let it get you down. You are more than your profession and way more than some exam. Here's a hint: before taking the Civil PE and the Struct I exams I went out the night before to Mexican restaurants and drank marguiritas. It helps the stress level.”
