Hey all! It's been awhile again...just a little update
Today marks 6 MONTHS for my sweetheart and me =) I got us a little something...shhhhhh it's super cute, I swear...I'll post pics after I give him his half =)
I can hardly wait to see him...He's been sick so I haven't spent time with him for awhile...I miss him..but hopefully I should see him soon and celebrate 6 months of love =)
AND...
I started my NEW JOB today!!!
There are a lot of new things I need to learn...I didn't absorb all of it but I have the rest of the week for training before I take over the position of the girl who's leaving at the end of the week...I'm a little nervous because normally, new hires in that department shadow different people for a month...I have ONE WEEK. I should've taken notes when the person training me was talking but she talks a mile a minute using abbreviations! I didn't even know WHAT to write down. But she did let me try out some stuff and I got to initial stuff (that felt oddly good). Hopefully I'll pick up stuff easily and quickly. Navigating the office will be an adventure in itself, too. SO MANY CUBICLES!!!
Ah well...wish me luck!!!

Damnit...I did it....
I hate you "REPLY ALL" button...how dare you scorn me!!!!
I did it...I joined the club of people who mistakenly hit the "reply all" button at work when the message was only meant to go to one person. The funny thing is, I am usually the first to complain when someone hits that pesky button and accidentally tells me their weekend plans while I'm working or about their new puppy, etc.
Friday, I became that person...
My friend e-mailed our firm about a Leukemia walk at 5 p.m. on October 9. As we all know...that is the day of my LSAT. So,I wrote back....
Think about the things you would say after taking a huge test like that...think about what I would say!!!! "I'm gonna go get FUCKED up afterwards", "I'm gonna go GET SOME after that horrible experience"..........................

By the Grace of GOD - I kept it PG (for the first time in my life) and simply said "I would love to do this but I'll be too tired after the LSAT...."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK GOD. The worst part was that I was PLANNING on saying crude things but for some reason (GOD) I didn't put those in. I was literally thinking up the worst combination of things I could say to crack my friend up LOL. I even thought I DID put those things in. I got a message from another friend that said "did you mean to send that to everyone?" HEART ATTACK!!!!
I had to go and READ the message and when I saw that I didn't put all that dirtiness in there, I relaxed a little. But then I realized that now the whole firm would know I was taking the LSAT....
That's not so bad on paper but I'm a really private person when it comes to things like that. I don't want the firm, especially my enemies there, to know what I'm doing with my life. I don't want HR getting ideas that I'm leaving soon (I still need to save and I may not get in so I may need this job!) so they should find someone who is staying.
So I tried to recall the message (yay outlook) but the current tally is 70 "Message Recall Faileds" to about 50 "Message Recalled Success". Thank GOD the e-mail was only to our Atlanta office. I'm mortified all the same!

yoooo hellooooo!!!
Okay...it seems us "being back" means easy goings too..hahahaha
Alright...well since work is more or less over with until next week, I should be updating. I make a lot of empty offhand promises when it comes to stuff like this but I really would love to post some movie reviews and tech stuff and news story things that I find interesting
Sooo just a little about my summer and stuff to hold u over til I post again...which might be in the next 15 minutes or 15 days ahahahah
Spent the summer working from 8am-6pm...or those are the hours I was paid for. I was usually there a few minutes early and left quite a few minutes later. The burdens of having the keys to the office...love the trust the boss has in me...but alas...what did Uncle Ben (Spidey's uncle..not the instant rice guy) say? "With great power comes great responsibility." Who am I to complain, really...it's money money money! WOOH! 50 hour work weeks. Not terrible. Just wished it was off the books. Forget Uncle Ben...Uncle SAM took a GIANT chunk of my paycheck every time!!! Who got kids they can lend me to claim as dependents?
Spent some time with the boyfriend whenever I can. But he got sick and then I got sick so we went almost a whole month apart. But we still talked (read: IM'd and texted) everyday so we're good. Surprising to many of my friends, we haven't...shaboinked...yet. I'm ok with it and he gave me good reasons to wait but I seem to be the Grabby McGroper of the two...hahahah :::eyebrow wiggle:::
What else...AH yes...I turned a quarter century. I partied it up last year when I turned two dozen. What did I do for my quarter century? Low-key'd it. Picnic at Central Park with games and awesome junk food...dinner and drinks (and a night of fending off creepy guys who accused me of not liking black guys...for real, son?) with friends...and a walk by the water with my boyfriend who wrote me the sweetest note ever :::warm and fuzzy feeling:::
Now...work is done. Just some minor subbing work for work. SOOOO...If anyone knows ANYTHING...HOLLA AT YA GIRL!!! cuz ya girl's got too many bills =( TOO MANY!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHH
