Maybe its because I don't really have a "job" per se or because I live in LA so yeah to me its "cold" but really its 60 and I hate Christmas and "the holidays" but today is a great day.

I can actually start looking for a job after weeks of waiting for "the holidays" to be over.

And, well, the holidays are OVER!

Who couldn't be happy about that?

I HAVE HAD SALMONELLA SINCE CHISTMAS and I'm really tired of its firm grip on my intestinal tract. Can I has replacement tract?

Grumble grumble grumble.

I seriously thought about calling in today because the thought of going back to work was almost unbearable, and then I realized that me calling in sick right after I had several days off would seem really bad, especially before my year-end review in a couple weeks.

It's super slippery and icy today, and I was sliding all around and almost fell a few times. I wish I could've stayed home.

So I've been pretty damn miserable for the past couple of months and it's only getting worse, but instead of throwing a tantrum, I choose random crying jags, blowing up over little things and drinking heavily.

Hm. Maybe if I throw a tantrum, at least someone will give me a cookie?

@bitchytexan (hellodarling!): How about a cookie and a giant fucking bottle of wine? Because I think that's the only way I'm going to get through today. ARRGH.

@tscheese: Hmph. Boyfriend gets all Bitchy McJudgypants when I drink when he doesn't want to. So you know, part of the problem. (Though yes, that would help.)

Wow, is this ever well-timed.

I have TWENTY-EIGHT HOURS to finish my HUGE piece of independent work of which I have HALF a draft I should have written WEEKS ago and I'm not going to get ANY sleep and then the next day I have a make-up class for which I HAVEN'T done the reading (and won't have time to) and then the next day I have a FRENCH EXAM that my professor told me I HAD to do well on or I'm FUCKED and I haven't studied at ALL and I have barely left me room since I returned to campus and after I finish that exam I have TWO more papers to write and I don't even know what they'll be ABOUT and I just WANT IT ALL TO GO AWAY. Oh, and there are no less than TWO major events in the next two days that involve lots of drinking and that I've been looking forward to for weeks, and now I CAN'T go because of this damn EXAM and the CLASS that is taking up ALL OF MY STUDY TIME.

Hey, it feels better already.

Throwing a tantrum is all well and good, but I get the worst puffy eye hangover.

Hmm, today seems like it's going to be pretty good, so no tantrum in sight. I did cry at Best Buy this weekend because of the absurdity that is getting a laptop repaired. Yeah, that wasn't embarrassing at all.
