The week so far, by me

Here are a few highlights of this past week. I am really tuckered out and am beginging to really hate computers, so I will be brief.

• Last week, we lost our bowling game.
• This week, we beat our co-workers (thanks to our handicap!)
• I gained 2 lbs
• I stress eat
• Client Flintstone is driving me mad. Still hasn't finalized designs, so technically, we aren't suppose to work on their stuff. If we did that, we would never launch their many websites. I think we are nearing the end of the design approval process. I sent Client Flinstone's rep, Rep N an email with some dumb industry analogies which I am imagining got her all worked up and she told Mr. Flinstone who will see about getting rid of me. I know that sounds damn paranoid, and I am sure (deep down) everything will be fine. Still, I am going to remain paranoid until the project is done. That's just my MO. The good thing is that with the new guy in our department, we just may get this thing done on time. He's been really helpful. I think if he wasn't there, I would still be at work and not writing this at 10pm.
• I am PMSing or just really annoyed with Client Flintstone. Can't really tell, except for the fact that other women in our office are on a similar cycle. Maybe they are just really pissy too?
• Debbie Downer appologized (sort of) for coming down on me when I told her we had a suggestion box. She feels Company X doesn't really listen to people. It's sometimes really hard talking with her because she is so negative almost ALL of the time.
• I watched a dumb movie this week - tonight it was that Failure to Launch with Sara Jessica Parker. Maybe Cache will be better. Thank heaven for Netflix. I got The Greatest Show on Earth, a Cecil B. DeMille classic movie with a huge cast. The best part is the storyline with James Stewart. I freakin' love that part. The Charlton Heston part I can do without.
• Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. I don't even remember what I did (probably nothing) last year. This time, I am brining corned beef to the office to share with a few people. It should be fun.

That's it. It's longer than I thought it would be. I think after I put the corned been in the crockpot, I will go to bed.

Congratulations Michael and VeAnn!

New Chiropractor, Flintstone, Oscar things

Yestersay morning I went to a new chiropractor, suggested by a co-worker. Though I didn't actually see the xrays, she said that there was a slight deterioration on my lower spine and a slight scoliosis. Yikes. I think with all of the falls I have had, it's a good thing I go. Plus, my neck has lost it's curve. Ah - to be young again. Anyhow, our insurance enables me to go 12 times witha $20 co-pay, which isn't too bad.

Client Flintstone is going so slowly. They still haven't picked a design. I keep finding new things to have our tech team add and republish, which I know is frustrating for them. I need to really start migrating content over from their old sites, but there are other things we have to do first. It's very frustrating. I know Client Dutch and the other big one were also painful. It's just par for the course. I know in 10 weeks, I will be feeling so much better about it, because it will be LIVE.

The Oscars are tomorrow. I think there will be about 16-20 people there. That is sooo cooooool!!! I am super excited. I wish I didn't have to work at the gstore tonight. I would sit at home and watch movies. I have two that I would like to have done by Monday, but I don't see that happening.

OOh - My friends VeAnn and Michael are due to have their baby any moment, any day now. I am so excited. I have been working on a baby blanket for them.

Alex is off in Alaska now to see the Iditerod. I am so excited for him as well. That is an awesome opportunity.

It's MARCH! And I have finally slipped on ice!

I am overjoyed that it is now March. Why? Well, besides several friends' birthdays, and the nearing arrival of Baby Lynch, and that Rob Thomas is playing in Burlington AND that CATS is playing in Burlington, AND I am having my Oscar party this weekend it also means spring is right around the corner.

THAT means that SUMMER IS COMING!!!!!!!!

And I finally wiped out on the ice. I was walking to my car this morning in the middle of the street and WHAM! On my ass went I. I did a half-assed splits. Left leg straight out, right leg bend and behind me. Not a pretty picture, but at least my laptop didn't break. My right leg was sore for just a few minutes. But now, as the day has progressed, my back is really starting to hurt quite a bit. I have to bowl tonight. Might be a night for big meds. I did make an appointment with a chiropractor for Friday. Ouch. Well, as this is my second winter here and I didn't fall the first round, it was about time. :-)
