It's my first official day at the new job. I am so nervous. Ack!

I also can't get Cake's version of "I Will Survive" out of my head.

I had a WONDERFUL birthday, thank you all who wished me well and thank you all who called! I will write more later when I get home.

Did I mention I have "I will survive" stuck in my head? The bass beat is catchy. And also making me wiggle in my chair.
 
Ok. I go now!

happy birthday to me.

So.
 
What's new? Hmm? Share a piece of news with me.

So:
 
Hotel rooms suck. The training went alright.
 
Points to remember:
 
- two boys from Virginia propositioning me in the parking lot minutes after arriving at the hotel sunday night
- the tire explode-y adventure
- the hotel catching fire adventure
- the Cameron the movie guy simultaneously hitting on me/lecturing me about comics debacle
- the Casino adventure
- the truck exploding on the highway on the way home adventure
 
It's been a tiring week. It's nice to be home. Too bad I have to go back next week.
 
W is a suck town. HATE IT. Also expensive. Work is *so* going to owe me money.

So today is my last day at my old job, I am training the new guy and then I am OUTTA THERE! My boss did the political apology thing which was weird I never expected one from her. Ok I am off!

I am still pissed off at my boss. But cooling down. Also, gads it is hot out there. Also, spent time today in the kiddie pool with my daughter and son. my son kept dunking his head under water gulping some up and then snorting it out his nose. On his face you could just see the pride. "Lookit me, mom, I'm a whale!"
 
The water was coooold but so nice in the humidity. YAY!We also had ice cream at Scoopers. It was an ok day in spite of the whole incident with my boss.

They're breakdance fighting!
 
Hahahahaa. Oh god. I loved Zoolander.
 
I have no idea what got me to thinking about that movie. I need a whole lot of sleep but it ain't happening.
 
Wow wow wow time is speeding up and the next thing you know I will be doing this new job and gah! No time to prepare!
 
So training this kid has been interesting although I think whatever I have taught him will slip away into dim memory well before he has had a chance to retain it. Which means more work for me in the long run having to type down what I did so he has something written. I mean we have procedures in place (I should know, I wrote the fucking book) but somet things are relatively new that I do and have not had the time to put in the freakin manual. I am -} {- this close to saying FUCK ALL Y'ALL FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELVES.
 
But my stupid conscience is getting the better of that instinct.
 
I go now.
