I have things to post, like my new purse that I needed help picking out and the amusing story about that, but I have a cold and it is kicking my butt. I feel weird.
Very weird.
Just wanted to let you all know that.

My desk wants this
If you are ever out and about and feel like buying me something (because I am just that great) but don't know what to buy me, try this:
(my precious)
It's pretty. It's mesh. And I wants it.
I found it at the store-that-must-not-be-named. The store that is disliked by many members of my family and in-laws. And I agree (the whole major corporation getting away with immoral things thing). But it is so close and it has pretty mesh desk organizers. I hate that it is so close (with all the traffic and lights and whatnot), but it is SO CLOSE.
My desk is incomplete without it. I promise to take care of it and keep it pretty and organized. Look at all of its organizational purposes. Look at the drawer in front. Pretty.
It is only $7.84. Don't you love me $7.84 worth? (I had a picture of this beautiful caddy centered perfectly over the price, but when I got home it was not on my phone. I think it's jealous.)

I need my own show.
A show where I can tell people not to cut holes in their roof if it's raining.
Story #1
If you are going to say something stupid, I am going to laugh at you.
The setting: the local Farm & Fleet (this is important)
I was walking down an isle, headed straight for some guy and his Beverly Hills girlfriend/wife, half-ignoring the announcement on the speaker about visiting a certain department "for all your ag needs" and, (seriously, guys, I cannot make this stuff up) Beverly Hills turns to her boyfriend/husband and says "I didn't know they had eggs here. I need to get some, and some milk, too."
I laugh. Her boyfriend/husband turns away without saying a word. She glares at me, though she doesn't know why I am laughing. I continue on my way.
Story #2
Stupid-R-Us
I received a change-of-name card in the mail from a business at work today from a company I will refer to as Stupid Enterprises. It read something like this:
Stupid Enterprises
123 Fake Street
Dumbsville, USA, 12345
Please note your records that our official name is now
Stupid Enterprises
All other contact information will remain the same.
That's great, geniuses, but would you mind telling me who you were before?
Story #3
At least she wasn't still sitting at her desk.
(I didn't get to witness this one, I have taken this story from a friend, but I couldn't resist.)
While punching out at 5:00 on Friday afternoon, two employees (whom I will call Peggy (hehehe) and Ditzy) said goodbye to the third employee (whom I will call... Oh, what's that bird ladies name in Mary Poppins???) okay, let's just call her Bird Lady, who-for informational purposes I will point out has been employed with this company for 1 year and 4 months-ish). Peggy also reminds Bird Lady to lock up when she leaves (since she was goofing off on the internet and not ready to go when everyone else was).
Bird Lady yells to Peggy and Ditzy "Wait, I don't know how to lock up. Don't leave me." (Again, employed 1 year 4 months).
"Shut off the lights and lock the door." Peggy replies.
"I don't know how to shut off the lights." says the Bird Lady (without laughing... wait, she can't be serious, can she?)
"Use the lightswitch. There's only two switches." replies Ditzy. (who is not looking so ditzy right now)
So Ditzy and Peggy proceed to leave stupi... I mean Bird Lady behind because, seriously, she is in her 50's and surely she knows how to work a light switch and lock a door.
That is what Peggy thought; until she returned to work on Monday morning and found the lights still on, and the door unlocked.
Well, Peg, at least she wasn't still sitting at her desk.

There and Back Again
We returned from Charleston after a 17 hour drive. That's right. We left around 2:00ish here time (3:00ish there time) and arrived home at 7:15ish here time. Only stopping for gas and a brief food break. It was nice. Accomodations were great, food was good, plantations were beautiful, ships (U.S.S. Yorktown and a Submarine and a Destroyer) were neat, I was tired. After walking so long that I had blisters covering the majority of my feet and I never thought I would regain feeling in them, the car ride wasn't so bad. It got uncomfortable, and there was the hour where we only traveled 7 miles or so due to road construction, but road trips are nice.
I have pictures and maybe I will post some sometime, but right now I'm feeling lazy. And a bit depressed.
I got an unexpected call Friday from an attorney in Rockford who wanted me to come in for an interview. I went. The job description was pretty much exactly what I wanted. Actual paralegal work (going into trial with the attorney, meeting with clients and prepare documents, research, etc. and also office manager with a staff of 5 or 6 full timers) but, (yeah, there's a big but here...) she works in family law. Lot's of divorce cases. (sigh) If I don't stand against it, I am condoning it.
When the attorney called and spoke with my husband this morning, she made it abundantly clear that I had to call her back today. So I did. And when she asked me if I was interested, I cringed as I told her that yes, I was interested in the job description, but unfortunately I was not interested in the area of law that she practiced.
That was not easy.
But, hopefully Michelle got a job out of it. She also interviewed there. And I said good things about her. Good luck, Michelle.
