My Joy

So I haven't written in a while, and I was told recently that I never put pictures up. This is true, and I fully intend to add some more, but at this time I don't have what I need.

Anyway, I have been feeling extra happy lately. Not that I was feeling blue before, but I noticed, yesterday, that I've been happier. There's no particular event to this happiness, but I'm grateful that I noticed and even more grateful to be extra happy.

So I thought I would share in some of my joy. Earlier this week, I could not find my staple remover. I never realized how much I depend on this little item. What I found most amusing was that no other staple remover would do. My coworker offered me an extra one, but I wanted mine. It's no better than any other, but apparently I've become attached.

So I finally found it. It was hiding behind my phone. I feel much better, and I'm happy to report that my staple remover feels much better to. Please see below:

"One Of Those Days"

So as usual, my post is about work, but it's not necessarily the main topic, and for once it's not about the crazy antics that go on here.

During December, it was relatively quiet and at some points quite peaceful. Well the last couple of days have been crazy! And to top it off, yesterday I don't think I was quite all here, mentally.

This being said, I noticed that I said a couple of times yesterday to people, "It's been one of those days". One was to a client of mine, and the other two times (that I can remember) it was to friends telling them that I wasn't going to be able to come to a birthday party, and this is after leaving work an hour and twenty minutes late. So my reason for not coming to the party, and or getting back to the client earlier was, "It's been one of those days."

I started thinking about this statement. I'm very intrigued by it. What does it mean anyway? It's not like when anyone says it, there is a definite meaning to the day. Each person has their own definition of what "one of those days" is.

I've decided that I like it as an excuse. People seem to accept it. And it might be very valid, but even if it isn't valid, it will be accepted because people will imagine in their head what that day is. (Though I will say, yesterday really was "one of those days". I was just not feeling it, and work didn't want to leave me alone.)

You'll have to excuse me though, I've got to finish this post quickly, it's been one of those days.

A Position I Don't Want To Be In

So my coworker told me last week that her husband is having her drive her brother-in-law's car because some sort of rod is missing. Apparently it helps keep her tire up because she showed me that the tire kind of bends in at a 34.6% angle.

Anyway, so she doesn't like her brother-in-law's car because it doesn't have heat. This is understandable, but I think I would take that over the death trap.

Well I don't know if I should say imagine my surprise or not because I've learned not be too surprised with her games, but she called the other morning driving in her death trap.

She was telling me that her car was doing some sort of shaking, and she was going to pull over on the highway for a bit and turn it off.

Her purpose was two-fold. First, she was going to be a little late for work. Second, if something were to happen to her, she wanted me to tell her daughter (who is 6 months old and wouldn't understand anyone), her husband, dad, sisters, brother etc. that she loves them.

Okay I don't want to be in this situation. I really don't know most of them. And honestly, what would I say?

I think the right choice is to either suck it up, yes I know it's cold, or invest in a heater. You can get a little one to go in the car. I've seen others. I'd rather that then the deathtrap.
