This day is so annoying. I'm bored, which is making me tired, which is making every minute a goddamned eternity. Uuugh. So, I figured I'd just bitch and bitch and moan and whine here in the hopes of venting some of my angst.

Today we had a 3 1/2 hour meeting, which is way too fucking long to be sitting still, looking at Powerpoint slides and pretending to be professional, interested and awake. To rub salt in that gaping wound, the VP completely dissed me by giving my boss' boss all the credit for the several months of work I did on this new price deal realignment crap. I was so pissed, I almost stormed out. At least my boss and her boss both sort of apologized to me afterwards because they'd given him the names of the people who did the work but he glossed over it when giving his presentation because he thought telling a funny story was more important. My ass is sufficiently chapped over this, let me tell you!

This one co-worker of mine, who is very nice but just can't seem to sit in his seat and work quietly for more than 4.3 minutes, continues to regale us with tales of his tuition reimbursement issues. I mean, I'm really sorry this is not working out well for you, but SHUT THE HELL UP already, would you? While you're at it, no one cares about your accelerated program. You're 36, you've worked here for a number of years and you still don't have your Bachelor's Degree. Come on, the company pays for it.

I think maybe it would be best for everyone here if I just quietly left early...although in my own defense, I'm not complaining out loud as I usually do. Usually when I'm really pissed I just keep quiet. This is a hint for all of you...one my poor boyfriend learned the hard way - yikes.

Speaking of my boyfriend, I am so excited to see him tonight. I feel like it's been forever, even though it's really only been since Monday night. I think we'll have most of the weekend to ourselves, which I'm really looking forward to. (Okay, that was just a nice little break from my ranting and raving).

I really have to do something about my body. I really am dissatisfied with it but am not doing a single thing about it. What is wrong with me? I vowed to join the gym here at work yesterday but didn't. I was telling C about my vow the night before and then I just didn't do it. When I talked to him last night, would you believe that he joined the gym at his building? I feel like a big fat jerk (literally). BIG....FAT...JERK. Oh well - he'll have a kick-ass, awesome, body and I'll be all flabby and gross and ugly. Great.

One last thing...the only thing I'm not looking forward this weekend - I have to go to a baby shower on Sunday. Just kill me now. Those things are pure torture. If I ever get engaged (Oh God, please, please please) I am having the biggest, longest, most obnoxious bridal shower known to womankind. Payback is a bitch.
