Tuesday morning - that odd day when 5 minutes at work feel like 5h

10:53 am on a Tuesday morning. At work. Feels like I have been here for the past 12 h... I only got here at 8:55 am. I strongly believe this will be a very long day! 

It's been a while since I last visited this space. Somehow work and life got in the way of my ramblings. Not that much has happened, or that I had interesting things to say, but still couldn't make it out here. Lots of days spent sitting at a bowling alley watching time go by. Organizing bowling balls by color and weight for the fun of it. I lead a very dull life it seems.

During this time I have mentally written elaborate and composed posts for this blog. I have wanted to share things that were said and that hurt me to my core. Things that made me want to scream and beat someone up. Things that were so ridiculous I couldn't even believe. But it all feels pointless now. Because the time passed. Because I managed to repress part of it. Timing is everything, eh?

Gladly i have stuff to bitch about today too, so all is good:


  • Yesterday after tidying up the kitchen after dinner, I decided it would be nice to bake some mini pecan pies to bring to work today. That way I could use up the pecans I had leftover from Thanksgiving and since everyone was here today, they could enjoy it (I don't care for pecans). Comment from my female boss "you have way to much free time if you could do these". I had this intense urge to just go ahead and toss them then. But i stopped myself. They are out there for the grabs. If no one picks them up I will just take them away. Time to stop trying to make nice things for these people. 
  • My hubbie got me a Xbox for Valentine's Day. I can't really complain, because I always wanted a gaming console. It came with a game called Battlefield. Adding up my lack of experience using a controller with the poor eye-hand coordination, it is easy to understand that driving a tank and shooting at moving targets is not the most easy task to accomplish. And it doesn't help to have the running commentary of how I suck at playing that. So I focused on a free game that is more adventure style and start having fun. My hubbie concludes that that is the kind of game I enjoy. Yesterday he went shopping and bought another game... Some sort of Star Wars based game that involves... shooting and battle tactics. And he keeps telling that it is my Xbox... He could at least have the decency to admit that he is having more fun with it than I am! 
  • Since I started this post I have picked up the phone a couple of times, went to the bathroom, had a cappuccino, saw pics of the bosses latest trip, responded to e-mails... and the time reads 11:39 am. Not even an hour has passed! OMG! 
Guess this is all for now... I will probably go to some news website or the White House site to get a bit more frustrated...
