Today I dropped my cell phone for the 100th time and it actually broke! The screen cracked on the inside and now it looks like this:
Poor phone! I went on T-mobile.com to "upgrade" but apparently I signed a 2-year contract last year, not 1-year, so phone prices are outrageous. I bid on one on eBay but couldn't get online all day and was outbid. It's still usable but annoying, so I will keep my eye on eBay for now. I was going to just use my old phone but it's not MyFaves compatible...balls!
Also, I am sick! It's not too bad...yesterday I had a sore throat and felt feverish. I had to work ALL day and didn't get home til 10:30 and immediately took some Theraflu and a Mucinex and I feel much better today, just have a nasty-sounding cough and some gunk in my chest.
On the bright side of things I got sick from someone at my TEMP JOB, which was originally only 6 days long but has now been extended for 6 more weeks at another one of their offices. YAY! I just have to break the news to Victoria's Secret that I cannot work next week when they scheduled me...I am making efforts to find someone to cover my shift but there's really just 1 person per shift that isn't working that day already besides managers, and I'm waiting to hear back from those people. Hey, at least I made an effort, and they can deal with it if the people I ask can't work becuase, what, they expect me to spemd my day making $7 an hour at a store instead of $$ at a place where I could potentially snag a full-time position with a company I could honestly have a career with? Yeah right haha.
So yeah, yesterday sucked because I had to get up at 5am and go to temp job until 3, and then go to VS until 10:30, plus I was feeling awful and all I wanted was some Theraflu.
OH, today I made a sandwich of ham, mozzarella, and apples...grilled-cheese style. It was AMAZING. I highly recommend.

I had a temp job last Thursday and Friday. It was great -- I wish I could work there forever! It was at a non-profit organization and their motto is "Inspiring Philanthropy" and they give out Grants and get people to donate to causes and such. I sat at the front desk and answered the phone all of 6 times it rang all day, made some copies, put pages in binders for the board meeting, and put the binders in envelopes to mail to the Board members. Yeah, it was pretty sweet, except it’s in Carmel and way far from any bus line so Travis’s mom kindly drove me there. I’ll be going back the last 2 Fridays this month. And all the people there were amazingly nice.
Friday night we went to see The Watchmen at the IMAX Theater in Noblesville. I haven’t read it but really enjoyed it and now I definitely want to read it. Also, we had never been to the mall up there and definitely want to go when it’s open. It’s an outdoor mall but not like the one in Oak Brook (haha I had to think for a minute which “Oak” suburb it was – Oak Park, Oak Lawn….). It’s like a little town made of stores and looks really nice. Apparently there is also some awesome shoe store there.
Anyway, I went to work, sat at a desk, drank whenever I wanted to, ate whenever I wanted to, didn’t have to wear black, and then went to see a movie. I felt like a real person again.
And then I had to go back to the mall Saturday and today, but today we launched a new limited edition perfume that I am utterly in love with and we got a big bottle of it for $5 (rather than $49). Last night was UFC fights at Buffalo Wild Wings. I had to close at work so I didn’t get there until 11ish and had 2 giant beers in an hour…making up for lost time, the waiter said haha. Indeed I was! We got home around 1am and I immediately went to bed and was OUT and luckily set my alarm for noon, and my phone luckily automatically changes for Daylight Savings.
Ha…so, let me mention again that Daylight Savings is a fairly new concept for Indiana. Years and years ago they did it like the rest of the country, but somewhere along the lines they decided to stop…except for a few counties. In 2005 the whole state went back to changing the clocks, and everyone is so confused by it. It amuses me. So tonight we were trying to close the store and there were still a lot of people there, and I was in front and sat down on the floor and started straightening the last of my panty drawers. This lady was walking out with her daughters and scoffed, “I thought they closed at 6 but EVIDENTLY NOT,” and I said, from my spot on the floor behind the panty table, “It IS 6!” bwahahahaha dumbass.
After work Travisty and I had Tijuana Flats for dinner and then went to Target for 15 minutes (because they were closing haha). Then we came home but he had to run back out to Walgreens to get some cash so I can do laundry tomorrow…and he brought back some CLR for me! I excitedly cleaned the bedroom shower head…it looks much better now! Now I’m going to figure out when I need to leave for work (more temping!!) tomorrow and possibly do our Indiana taxes…gross.
The End.
