A little reverse chronology of the past few days

[cmk418]

I have determined that I could now survive watching the Blues and Blackhawks play in the playoffs, provided every game goes at least three overtimes - the potential of just five extra minutes isn't enough. Seriously, I could have watched that game til midnight and not be disappointed.

Sorry, michele659, but I really love Cliff Lee. However, I'm pulling for whoever wins the ALCS to win the Series because neither San Fran or Philly does it for me.

Squaredanced tonight for the first time in about three weeks. I needed it.

Went on strike for the last three hours of work today. The company that my temp agency contracts for requires us to clock in and out on regular timecards (I feel like it's 1986 all over again with that nonsense) in addition to us filling out the timesheets for the temp agency. I went in today and I realized that I didn't have my timecard when the boss had the timesheets picked up, so I left him a little note saying that I'd misplaced it, would bring it in tomorrow, and would he please sign my timesheet. He sent me an e-mail which basically asked the question - "how would I know what hours I worked if I didn't have my timecard?" Huh? Seriously. This is the guy heading up the program. And this is how he handles every friggin' thing that goes on. I ignore the e-mail for the bullshit that it is and when I get back my unsigned timecard, I forward his e-mail and my explanation to my temp agency and let them handle it. It should be resolved tomorrow, but give me a break. You're denying me my pay even though I've been here for the entire week? And you can check with anyone who was in the office and my phone records, my computer records, and the security camera tapes to see me in the office? It's absolute bullshit.

Realized today that it's two weeks to NaNo and I don't seem as disciplined as last year.

Mad Men season finale was somewhat of a letdown. It had a lot to live up to with last year's. Is it me or does it seem that most shows peak at Season Three?

The goldfish we'd been keeping for my niece both died. She had a partial meltdown/partial excuse for drama on Sunday. They are currently in the freezer until she comes over on Wednesday.

Ordered Season 1 of the original Bionic Woman for myself. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

And finally, Mad Libs with my eight-year-old niece on Saturday (I'm supplying prompts) -
Part of the body - vagina (I wish I could convey the way she said it because she seemed so proud of herself for that word)
Adjective - gay (huh? this was her word for the weekend which made me mental)
Noun - lesbian (and she rolls the L, my head was seriously in my hands at this point).
I'm just glad we were playing this game in the house and not in the car with one of my parents at the wheel.

Hope everyone on my f-list is doing well. Hugs and love to you all!
