"and the lights go down in the city..."
I drove up to McDonald's eager to get my hands on an
Egg McMuffin and hashbrowns when I noticed that the lights
inside were off. In fact, the lights in all of the stores in that complex
were completely out. oh well...so i went with my contingency plan:
a trip to our local Pilipino Restaurant for some longsilog and tocilog.

I decided to buy some ulam and rice for a later meal. I had to buy the
rice just in case the power didn't go back on.
I'm pretty glad i went there cause I found out that they have a
Sunday breakfast buffet.

HUH??? I swear I've never been to
a Pilipino breakfast buffet before. Pinoy restaurants here are usually
pretty 'kurips'...they usually charge you an arm and a leg for a piece of
lumpia shanghai. This buffet sounds pretty reasonable, though...
and you get a pretty decent selection of food at that.

hmm...maybe if the power goes out tomorrow I can take my friends there.

early bird
so i successfully got up this morning...earlier than what I expected in fact.
spent a little more time on the throne than usual, though.
i think the sauerkraut and garlic fries I had at the game last night
didn't agree too much with my stomach.

I made my way to work with virtually no traffic. Thank goodness for
the smooth ride as I wasn't too keen on sitting in my car longer than I needed to.
Aunt Flow is visiting with a vengeance this month, so it's better for
me to keep my body moving lest I go insane from the cramps.
For the men in cyber space who are reading this, the feeling of mentrual cramps is like
doing sit-ups non-stop for a whole day....but worse!

My co-worker and I and her husband got to work around the same time.
We luckily only spent 30 minutes assessing the current network set-up,
talked a little about our next steps and, of course, bitched some more about
our dysfunctional work place.

Our ED was there, too, along with our Board President.
All I could think was what an open door of opportunity that was to
take my stage and really let them have it....verbally, that is.
If only those means of communication were considered appropriate,
I might actually subscribe to it.
Shit, they're lucky that my co-worker didn't go for it.
She's got more stored up frustration than I do.
And I know I wouldn't stop her if she blew.
They'd probably be scared shitless. That actually might be fun to watch.
(I'm really a nice person underneath, really I am)

more friends
so today, i'm gonna try and pump out at least one resume and cover letter.
I didn't do it on wednesday like i planned, so I need to do it today...or at least by the end of this weekend.
I'm a little bloated right now from all that rice and longanisa...and my cramps...so
I'm ok if I don't do anything active today. but that's probably a very bad idea.

I'm gonna go to my bf's photo exhibit later this afternoon.
some friends and cousins are coming by to check it out.
Then, tonight, we're having dinner at our friend's housewarming.
I don't think I'm going to eat again until that time.
I'm so full that if you dropped me into the bay, i'd literally sink to the bottom
and never float back up.

back on track
i scrolled through my blog entries and noticed that i actually had entries
for everyday this week. WOO HOO!
I hope this means I'm back to normal again.

I really do enjoy blogging.
And i think it's helped me especially now that I constantly need
an outlet for my current work frustrations.
I can only bitch about it to my co-workers so much.
I have to find time to actually DO work, you know?

Well, the inefficient but more available internet access at work
has definitely helped.
