What? This isn't a bathroom?

Yesterday I was told by my boss as a warning that due to fact that students have a hard time finding the bathroom in our building, the Students Services Building, some male students have taken to doing their business right outside our building! The hell!? The director of our office has actually witnessed this while looking out the window in his office. Dude, if you're gonna take a leak outside do it where people looking out their office windows won't see you! It's only common knowledge. I can't believe college students would do this...or maybe I can. In any case if you can't find the bathroom try asking somebody or go to one of the many near buy buildings that have easier to find bathrooms. It's really not that hard. People are nuts!

Does this count as my exercise for the day?

Here's the scene...it's raining outside, I've got my umbrella so all is well. I've got my lunch bag and my work bag and I walk into my building raring to go with another fun-filled day of work, or rather just another day of work. I get to my office and start unpacking my stuff when I look into my work bag and see my parking pass. Wait. What is my parking pass doing in my bag? Shouldn't it be in my car? Ah crap!

I drove Bryan's car to work yesterday because he was going to get me a new tire for my car and when I got home I took my parking pass out of his car and put it in my bag so I wouldn't forget it today but then forgot to put it in my car. So after my five minute walk to my office from my car I realize I didn't put my pass in my car so I had to grab my umbrella and haul it back to my car to put my pass back in there. At least I didn't get a ticket. These U of U parking people can be brutal. I can count that as my exercise for day now, right? It was a work out because I was trying to be quick so I wouldn't get a ticket, that and I'm really out of shape.

Now on a dish washing note. Our freaking dishwasher isn't working and I refuse to wash any dishes by hand! Our kitchen is getting way nasty because of this refusal for manual dish washing but I just can't go back. I can't! Ugh, today is going to be "one of those days" isn't it?

Also, Bryan is out of town again until Friday, bummer... :( Poor me. I guess I'll have to fill the time watching scary movies and hanging out with The Tib. I just don't sleep very well when Bryan isn't home. I always end up staying up way later than usual when he's not around so I'm pretty tired today. More so than usual anyways because I'm pretty much always really tired.

One more thing. I committed the ultimate sin. I got a caffeine free diet coke. Really... I was just so desperate for some soda action and the Bookstore only sells caffeine fueled diet beverages and I've been caffeine free for two months now and I didn't want to ruin it. Ok I could have gotten a diet Sprite or a Fresca but I have to be in a special kind of mood to drink those things. I always made fun of people for drinking caffeine free diet coke and here I go and do it. I'm so ashamed. Let the mocking commence. I deserve it.

There it is. I little bit of me then and now. Feel free to follow suit if you're looking for blog post ideas. Now for a little fun fact. Here is a picture of my old Jr. High. Wasatch Jr. High burned down in 2005. Wasn't that always the unltimate dream of school going children everywhere?

My eyebrows are trying to take over the world.

After realizing that my eyebrows were starting to morph into one intelligent life form and starting to wave at passer-byers I decided it was time for a wax. I made an appointment at my usual brow-waxing haunt, Estilo. Now my eyebrows are one thing that I really tend to splurge on. I figure my eyebrows are right there for everyone to see so no need in being stingy and risking having my eyebrows completely waxed off and then having to draw them in with eyeliner because that’s just not cool with me, I’d look freakish. I just love Estilo because it is so hip and the people that work there are awesome and tell you what you should do instead of asking me what I want because I have no idea how to make myself look good, that’s why I go to them so that awesome. It’s pretty expensive but totally worth in my opinion.
The woman who does eyebrows there, I think her name is Rina, is the most awesomely crazy, intimidating person ever. She’s a little older I think, like in her 40’s but I’m not positive because I’m horrible at guessing people’s ages, but way more hip and stylish than I could ever be so I kind of love her. She’s way nice but in an aggressive, scary kind of way and I love to hear the people there gossip while I’m being worked on, it’s like I’m on a TV show about style or something.
So Rina does all her waxing, plucking, cutting, etc. and shows me my new face and I am very pleased. It is crazy how different I look. I like that she shows me my brows after she’s only done one of them so I can compare and see the difference and it just blows me away every time. One day maybe I’ll take a picture of it if I’m ever brave enough. When she’s all done I remove the headband she uses to keep my bangs out of my face and I give it back to her and attempt to fix my bangs back into place covering up most of my face. Now Rina was just not having this. She decided I needed to do something to show off my new brows and not hide my face so she starts running around the store picking up headbands that they sell. This place is also kind of like a classier Clair’s and they sell all kinds of accessories. So she puts a headband on me and it’s all sparkly and way too fancy for me to wear to anything but a high school dance and I’m thinking, oh great I’m going to have to buy this headband that probably costs fifty bucks and never be able to wear it because I can’t say no to this women.
For one she is way excited about me getting a headband and two, because I’m a little afraid she may yell at and/or hit me if I say no thanks. After trying on the blingy, fancy headband she has me try on a yellow, ribbon-like one (shown below) and she just flips out. She tells me she doesn’t even want me to try on any of the others and this is one and I say, ok, and that’s that. Luckily it only cost $12 instead of my expected $65 so that wasn’t so bad. I go to take the headband off and tell her ok I’ll take it but she yells at me and says I have to wear it out and I freeze and slowly bring my hands away from said headband. She then proceeds to instruct everyone in the salon to look at me and tell me how fantastic I look and how the yellow in the headband brings out the gold in my eyes. At this point I just want to pay and get the hell out of there before she makes me buy anything else. Finally I escape and was planning on throwing the headband in my drawer of hair accessories that I never wear but then I decided that I’d give it a chance. I chose to believe that as soon as I left they didn’t all start laughing and saying what a dumbass I was. Instead I chose to believe that they genuinely thought I looked good.
In any case, I wore the headband today and got many compliments, even an 'you look exceptionally cute today.' Heh, I guess they know what they’re talking about. Ahh…I can’t wait till my next brow waxing appointment…it’s always such an adventure.

Aside from eyebrows what else have I been up to you say? Well, I finally graduated college! FINALLY! After only eight years, go me… I can’t believe I’m finally done, it’s been such a big part of my life for so long that I kind of don’t know what to do with myself now. I guess the next step is finding an exempt position instead of being hourly. Ugh, I hate job searching. I think I’ll just stay in good ol’ Financial Aid for a little while longer; I still like it so far.

Just Not My Day...

I got a fun little scare/wake-up call this morning and I also learned that the fire alarm in our office is right above my head. There I was, innocently working away when all of a sudden a REALLY, REALLY LOUD noise rang out from above. It totally scared the crap out of me! So the office had to evacuate and wait outside and I got fond or not-so-fond flashbacks of high school fire alarm drills; everyone standing outside not knowing what's going on, the one loner standing there by themselves, all the clicks standing with each other, ahh, the memories... After probably about ten minutes we got to go back inside and strait back to work. I have no idea why the alarm went off and me thinks there's a good chance I probably never will.

On anther note, my Wednesday night class is in the worst classroom ever! Why the crap is an advanced management class in the freaking architecture building!? The seats are so uncomfortable, this will ensure the hellishness of my Wednesday nights. This is going to be a looooooooooong semester, "sigh."

Also, I forgot to put my wedding ring on today; I feel naked...

Also, my hair looks REALLY dumb today...

Also, I miss my smelly lotions...

Computer, Hate!

I don't know what I've done to upset the computer gods but my computer has yet again died! WTF!? Why!? Why, does this keep happening!? Are all the computer parts of the world revolting against me? You may say, "ohh it can't be that bad." You think so, huh? Well get this... Probably not even six months ago my computer starts acting up and being crappy and Bryan decides it's probably the video card so we set out on an adventure to procure a new fancy video card. In all our video card glory we neglected to make sure the video card is compatible with my motherboard. It wasn't. Now we had to go on a motherboard adventure and thus other adventures involving sound cards, RAM, power supplies, etc. At this point I've pretty much gotten a new computer. Ok, that's fine. Now I have a new computer that runs awesome.
At this point I must have upset the iPod gods because my Shuffle started up with me. So Bryan does some research on the Internets and finds someone having a similar issue that solved it by unplugging the mouse from the computer and plugging it back in, easy enough. Little did I know that the computer gods and iPod gods have been plotting against me and when Bryan went to unplug the mouse something shorts and everything gets fried! I mean everything! The motherboard, my hard drive, video card, everything! Lame!
So we set out for more computer parts adventures and we have to basically get me a whole new computer. Ok, fine, I can't do much about it and now my iPod works and the computer works good, all is well. Little did I know that the computer gods were merely waiting for their time to strike...apparently that was last night. That's right folks, my computer would not even start! Bryan thinks my power supply has died but I'm certain that means everything is now broken again. What the hell?
So Bryan's going to go buy me a new power supply and I pray to thee all-powerful computer gods to have mercy on my computer soul and let this please work. In the last three months I've pretty much gone through three computers. Maybe I should just take a hint and accept the fact I'm just not meant to be a computer owner. Wish me luck because if I have to freaking replace my computer for a fourth time I gonna majorly freak out!

Now changing subjects from one unpleasant thing to another...school... Apparently I have a hold on my account from the Financial Aid office because I've taken too many credit hours. This happens to a lot of people and in my case doesn't even matter because I'm not going to apply for financial aid for the summer but what makes this humorous is the fact I work in the Financial Aid office, nice... Stupid school! At least it was easy to figure out why there was a hold on my account.
