Pending Approval: Notes & Arguments to Self











There are trojans and all kinds of weird things on my workstation computer today…I called into the help desk and no response. I suppose I will have to wait. I imagine the hard drive will need to be reimaged. Meanwhile I’m using the computer in the empty cube next to me.

Gave in to the venti white mocha after much resistance today. I needed it, so I’m glad to have it. Before that, random thoughts ran through my mind, such as, “Why do you try to listen now that I won’t talk?” “I need to get out of this backwater town. Every weekend.” “I’m just so convenient like the corner liquor store. Like Sunday morning…though, that’s easy. “If the tin man didn’t wish for a heart, maybe he wouldn’t be in this mess.” I got a text notification that my flight tonight would be 15 minutes late. Then in predictable form, I promptly burst into tears.

So off to 7-11 I went to get some York peppermint patties and Junior Mints. Then next door to Starbucks for you know what.

Less than an hour left of work. Then off to the airport again. I wonder if the Google employees will be there. Last week almost everyone in the airport worked for Google. And they all knew each other. I felt kind of left out. Why can’t I work for Google too? I guess having nothing but library skills is working against me…

Take me back to a time when life was simpler and you know we loved the guys with the cars that go BOOM.

Now wasn’t that a dangerous trip down memory lane. But I can’t decide who I wanted to be more, Tigra or Bunny.

Okay. More coffee over here, please.



I haven’t really gotten much sleep. I’ll attribute it to the coffee I had yesterday afternoon, which also started a migraine.

Today promises to be a busy work day. I shouldn’t be up downloading stupid ringtones to identify people calling me. I should be up getting ready. Ready for the day ahead.  And the weekend too…

This is stupid. I mean, most of the time I find ringtones obnoxious, but here I am putting every possible obnoxious ringtone on my phone. Why? Because I can. Just try and stop me. Ah but then when my phone rings, I’ll switch the ringer to silent, ashamed of myself.

Since it’s inevitable that I’m going to continue to identify all of my friends with stupid mp3 ringers, I’m curious just in case any of you are reading this, what ringer would you be? If I’m going to assign you a song, might as well be one you like…If you are not my friend, tell me what you’d want your ringer to be anyway, you know, for shits and giggles.

I just realized that I put Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry” on my phone. And it is impossible for me to hate a song more than I currently hate that one. (I’m sorry, I know you all love that song, but I just don’t agree. I don’t!!!) But I’m sure I’ll be hearing that song next time someone calls me…ugh.More evidence that I shouldn’t be doing this before six in the morning…
