At work with the Friday Five, which I have not done in a while.

In about two hours I will be headed west. See you all later…

1. Do you watch sports? If so, which ones?

The sad thing is that I do not watch sports as much as I used to. But when I do watch them, I watch basketball, tennis, baseball, track & field, figure skating (rare), golf (only if Tiger Woods is about to break a world record or something lol), boxing and football.

2. What/who are your favorite sports teams and/or favorite athletes?

St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves, Missouri Tigers (football), anyone that has nice Starter (lol@ this) paraphernalia… hey I’m being honest.

3. Are there any sports you hate?

Water polo (oh goodness I almost typed polio), synchronized swimming, anything involving Nascar!, horse racing… okay anything involving an animal!, that stupid Canadian game where they shuffle that thingy across the floor (the nerve of them to actually have that as an Olympic game!),

4. Have you ever been to a sports event?

Yes, I have been to several St. Louis Cardinal games, a couple of pre-season NBA games and a couple of college football games.

It only takes one thing to make a day go bad at work. My day was hectic but overall pleasing because I was handling my own. The end… not so good because this women (I am this close to calling her a not-so-good name but I am not going to stoop to that level yet) decides she wants to approach me and she did not come correct!!

My job is/was having a major restructure. For a while some were saying reorganization while others were saying restructure. To be honest they sound like the same damn thing to me. I learned this week the difference between restructure and reorganization. It still seems a tad silly to me but reorganization involves a few changes in a group, perhaps one or two people may switch groups and a restructure involves a major reorganization in group structures. Yeah whatever. Pretty much everyone is/was going to move seats but not all at once, that is just too like right. A groups/people moved at a time which caused people to wait on the person to move out of his/her future seat and this set off a nasty chain reaction.

I did not change my seat until today but from the moment I arrived at the beginning of my shift the lady who was supposed to move in my seat was bugging me about when I am going to move. My reply was that I was waiting on the women (whose seat I am supposed to move into) to move. Her desk was still cluttered with paperwork and food crumbs *UGH* Also, throughout the day, I helped people set up their email and transfer their favorites from one computer to the other. It was crazy but a smooth crazy… I really did not like having to clean up after another person. So she perhaps did not have time to clean up but you mean to tell me that you set in your own filth daily. Do not even clean up every now and then? Once a month? Nope. There is still food crumbs all over the damn floor because I do not have access to a vacuum. TRIFE.

Happy (belated) birthday to my I_boogie… she really thought she was slick by only mentioning her birthday in her blog ON HER BIRTHDAY (yesterday). Normal people tell you in advance. I made a detailed mental note to give you the twenty something licks for that if I meet you in person one day LOL <3

Thanks to Tee, Shun and Lisa for the pings LOLOLLL I am trying to fix my pings at the moment. I can receive trackbacks but I cannot send pings WTH I am feeling left out so I have to fix that with the quickness.

Why was I on the phone with my Mama and she was telling me about how she had this nice meal for lunch at work and they had some ghetto strawberry shortcakes as dessert for them. Now when someone says strawberry shortcake, my mouth is already watering thinking about the juicy strawberries, moist cake and sweet whipped cream. All of that lovely image was destroyed when my Mama said that her job used biscuits as the shortcake. What in the hell?… biscuits for shortcakes. I almost died on the phone… but the funny thing is that this was not the first time that she told me about this shit. They always use biscuits for shortcakes. That is beyond ghetto to me it is just borderline TRIFE. If you cannot afford the perfectly round shortcakes sold at your local bakeries and grocery stores, just by some inexpensive pound cake. Mama told me that she prefers the pound cake over the actual shortcakes anyway. Please do not tell me that any of you all use biscuits in your strawberry shortcakes!!

Found this Daily Inspiration through work:

Butterfly

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further. So the man decided to help the butterfly.

He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly!

So tell me what you think. Agree or disagree and why?

“My comments this past Sunday were directed at the media and were not racially motivated,” Limbaugh said in a statement. “I offered an opinion. This opinion has caused discomfort to the crew, which I regret.

Yeah right :lol: I do not even understand why Rush Limbaugh was working for ESPN in the first place. His conservative commentating on his radio show was enough for me and for the public. If it was not racially motivated, why did you resign Limbaugh?

“I love NFL Sunday Countdown and do not want to be a distraction to the great work done by all who work on it,” Limbaugh said.

Oh yeaaaaah :lol: that is why…

Good riddins!! (Full article here).

Sudafed and Brand X NyQuil has treated me well. In fact they treated me so well that, I slept all day Monday, releasing the medicine out of my system. I feel mighty good now Celie except for yesterday… yesterday was kinda rough, mentally.
