Also weep-worthy: We had a gift card for Texas Roadhouse, so we went there for lunch. Have I mentioned to anyone the reasons that I do not care for that place? For one, Texas Roadhouse. (No offense, intended

txtequilanights.) For two, they're always blaring country music. I despise country music, all of it. I do not hum along, I do not tap my toes, I just wish that for the hour that I am there, that I could be deaf and mute. Along the same lines, Texas Roadhouse likes to celebrate its customers birthdays by making them sit in a saddle while everyone in the restaurant screams YEEHAW at them. This does not amuse me. Their food is good, I will say. And, they had themed dress for all the wait staff, the theme being the 80s. There were a lot of headbands, over-the-shoulder, wide-neck sweatshirts, hot pink leggings and leg warmers. And finally, I am fat as hell and I can't take it anymore. I'm living on Enviga, South Beach Bars and salad for the next millenium. But tonight I will party with Jess and the crew and we will have drinks and play pool. Hey, believe this? Trev is going, too.
I'm still getting caught up at work after my mini vaca and tragic computer incident. Forgive me while I ramble.
We totally love our Wii. My Mario Kart skills leave a lot to be desired but I still play with enthusiasm! I want a keyboard though, and tubes of the internet say that not only would a wireless USB keyboard not work, a regular one doesn't either. Seriously tho, how annoying is trying to use that on-screen keyboard with the remote? It kinda makes me wanna saw my hand off to stop that thing from vibrating. Surfing the internets via Wii is fantastic, though, if for no other reason than how fucking good it looks on our HDTV. And ooh, high quality Youtube videos ftmfw. Hell, I could totally sit on my ass all day surfing Youtube with my Wii, except it runs out of memory too quickly. Does anyone know, would a phat SD card alleviate that any, or is that just for pictures and stuff?
Metallica, the next Guitar Hero? Ugh. No thank you.
Gas prices can suck a fuck, I'm not even kidding. I'd say I want a battery powered car - except I also like it when my cars go fast. Screw battery powered cars, man, I want a teleporter. I think I've mentioned this before - I'd be totally willing to invest in someone who had a reputable research project going on to develop this. Except, I'm broke. As such, I want to be in Chicago for this:
but I can't, as I was just in Chicago. Oh right, and you should download their album for free if you haven't already. Cos, hey, its free music, right? Why not. I also happen to think it's pretty fuckin' good.
Flist, why so quiet, hmm? My chat windows are dead (quit it) and I'm still not getting any work done. wtf.
Right, then. Well, today our hospital system announced that we were effectively closing one of our hospitals and eliminating some 60 positions, across all levels of management. My coworkers and I have been the communication team for this, putting together all the publications, stuffing the severance packets and developing the communication plan and all the PR moves, etc.
Here's the thing, though. Every place I've worked, I've gone through this. Sometimes I've come closer to the hatchet than others, but thankfully I've always missed it. Trev's last 3 positions have all been victims of it. (Why they never eliminate me, I always wonder. I can only figure that I'm better at bs than anyone else.)
It's always a strange thing, though. There's a couple of administrators in our hall who lost their jobs, and they let them go immediately (like, before I got here this morning which was at 8:45am, as usual - again, WHY do I still have a job?). They've each got an office with a window.
I might be a bitch for asking if I could have one of their offices. I'm okay with that.
I didn't get an answer, by the way.
