I am not getting sick.

DO YOU HEAR THAT, WORLD??

I am NOT getting sick.

I’m going to ignore the nose and the throat. And the hot head. And the aching joints.

Because I have to get about 15 people, from all over the world [Can anyone help me with Gambia? How the hell do I find car service in Gambia? What continent is it on? No, really, I need to know] to score a film. Nobody bothered mentioning that they were not local. Nah. Let’s just assume Michele knows every single name of every musician, and their geographic location.

Once again I’m being called upon to pull it out of my ass. Maybe I need to STOP pulling it off, so they don’t think I can do it. Is it possible to do your job TOO well?

Anyway. I am NOT getting sick.

Hmph.

So, I wrote a whole entry on something that really frustrates me at work. And then I deleted it. Lest I be Dooced.

Suffice it to say that 1. I’m am not a factory worker with bells/horns telling me when to have break and lunch (not that there’s anything wrong with that – but the fact stands – I’m not). 2. I am not a child. 3. I’ve been doing this for 15 years, and am now at the executive level of my career path.

And that is all I can say about that. Though I really really really want to rant and rave on and on and on. But I won’t because of number 2. above. Nyah Nyah.

I may have to stay late. I don’t know. I’ll let you know when I do. I may be home early. If that’s the case, please know it’s because I got fired for hurting someone at work. Physically. With much blood. Love you.

Okay, so I’m not exactly going to talk about work, but I AM going to talk about the damn work softball team. There’s only one person (that I know of) at work who reads this, and 1) She loves me (right?) and 2) She’s not on the team.

So – you know how “There’s no crying in baseball?” Well, I’m an idiot, and there is. ‘Cause – well – you know, I’m in first grade and I was apparently picked last for kickball.

I’m not making any sense.

Last year was the first year we played. I started it, ’cause I thought it would be fun, but a couple people just kind of took over. I let them, because hey – I got to play, it was fun, and they knew what they were doing. Last year our team sucked. The big one. We lost every.single.game. It was very sad. This year we lost about 1/2 our team due to employee turnover. Apparently our head honchos, who are also on the team, know how to schmooze and started recruiting. We just had practice last night, and we have a very very good team.

So after the practice we all came to the middle to discuss placement, since it was the first time together. Much discussion back and forth. Oh this person should definitely go here, and here, no this one would be better here, etc. Then they assigned. Everybody. They went in the order we were standing there, and skipped me. Then they came back to me, and very dismissively said, “Oh, you can be in the batting lineup, and maybe you can play if someone gets hurt.” I nodded. ‘Cause what am I gonna do? Argue? When the talent was fairly obvious?

I cried all the way home.

Kids at work

A couple bits of randomness…

No WWWDW today… No one has sent in any questions. Thinking of abandoning the project due to lack of interest.

On the kid front… Just had to get this down, so I don’t forget. Logan says “Leaky Mouse” instead of “Mickey Mouse.” He thinks he’s saying it right. It’s one of those things I make him say over and over because it makes me giggle. I’m mean.

I have Logan with me at work today… I had to. My boss is gone, so I have to be here, and we had a babysitting emergency. So – I’ve got him watching movies. I’ve got snacks, I’ve got toys. Got his favorite soft blanket. So here’s hoping he’ll stay entertained so I can work – and last the whole day. It’s been one of those days where you have to do what you have to do. Period. No whining, just get it done. I’ve never had to do this before, I’ve always managed a way before. Not today though – not enough notice. Our babysitter was in the hospital last night, and may go back again. I don’t know what’ll happen tomorrow. Oy.

I seem to be boring, but life is never boring, that’s for sure.
