On Monday, I opened my mailbox where I saw a flyer for KFC. Usually I would have tossed it out, but for some reason the photos of the probably plastic meal models called out to me to order it. Eating KFC is really out of the ordinary for me, but whatever.
I got up to the apartment, picked up my phone and then proceeded to go out of my way to order KFC. By out of my way I mean calling some call centre delivery service most likely located in Quebec or Western New Brunswick.. giving them my address which in a staple area of my city..the operator had trouble finding my address and then proceeded to ask me if I was sure that my street address was in fact located in my city and province. Because she was convinced that my address was in fact in St. John…which is another city. In another province. At least 6 hours away from me. I assured her that I did not live in St. John. She didn’t believe me. I hung up and called again to get a different operator. Success. 30 minutes later, I’m eating KFC.
4 hours later I am power puking my guts and other orfices up. It was NOT a pretty sight. So, I haven’t gone to see a doctor, but I’m at least 90% sure I have food poisoning. I took Tuesday off of work because I was up sick all Monday night, and I went in today. Not feeling the best, but feeling a bit better.
UGH. NEVER AGAIN.
I live downtown, and for the past 2 days there have been little scrub wars with these snotty, shitty kids. Kids who try to mug you in the bathroom of McDonalds. They suck, and it’s too humid to shut my windows, and I just want them to shut the fuck up and stop screaming so I can enjoy my nights. Fucksakes.
I’m all over the place. Again, I have an Eight to Four tumblog which I update more frequently than this. Check it out if you’re interested.

Last night I finally took the time to finish One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It was incredible! Love in the Time of Cholera had scared me off from reading his books ever again, but I braved the storm and pushed on. It’s been taking me awhile to get into a comfortable routine with the new job, so I’ve been reading a lot less than I’m used to. As a replacement book, I picked up Bright Shiny Morning by James Frey, we’ll see how that goes.
Today is casual Friday, and I am so glad! I don’t have enough dress pants to fill my week yet. I attempted to find some more on Wednesday, but nothing ever fits well and I had a migraine (which = no patience), so it was really over before it started. I think I’ll go out tomorrow and look for a few things but it probably will end up just as successful. I did manage to pick up a cute top last night though. I had gone into the teeny tiny mall we have downtown for something else and noticed this really cute, chiffon-like, white dress shirt on sale for 17.25 from 59.00, so I got it. I have no idea how it fits because I still had my migraine and still had no patience for things such as trying clothes on.
Tomorrow I have a surprise party pub crawl to attend. I’m not really that into the idea of pub crawls, but because it is what it is, there are certain blocks of time for each bar, the last of which being at 1130. The last of which is also the bar you would never find me in even if I was passed out and someone thought it would be funny to drag me there, so I’m sort of hoping to bail before we get to that point in the night. It should be fun though, I’ll get to see a lot of people I haven’t seen in awhile.
Anyhow, I have to finish getting ready for work.

I don’t usually think of myself as a “case of the Monday’s” type of girl. The beginning of the week rolls around, and I can usually summon up enough productivity.
Today, I’m feeling a little less productive than my norm. I think it has to do with the weather, which is typical of the city…overcast. The ground is wet, and the skies are overcast, and it looks like it may get sunny, and it looks like it could rain, so I can’t decide if I’ll be relaxed (rain) or irritable (sun/heat). Gah.
In any event, I’m running late and will have to make one more decision on my way to work: Grande non-fat extra caramel caramel macchiatto or Iced grande sugar free vanilla non-fat iced coffee with milk? Big decisions.
