The Opinionated Laundrymat Lady

Work was blah. Seems like everyone is feeling it. Did a presentation that I prepared for, but we changed it last minute. Oh well.

Didn't have lunch. Ate lemon blondies. Spent the rest of the work day filling out my timesheets. Had to observe my 2nd coach. Got home around 6pm and had bad cramps. Made pork chops, indian lentil curry, and rice for dinner.

Now I'm at the laundrymat FINALLY doing laundry. The lady that owns the place has made many comments. When I walked in to get change, she asked me how much I needed and I showed her my $5 bill. She said "oh, I thought you had a 20. The machine doesn't take those, but people put them in there. (Pause) that's disrespectful." Wth? Okay so then I started putting my clothes in the wash and she told me to put my cart on the side. Then I asked her if I could grab the chair on op of the washer. She said sure and as I was placing it in the aisle, she told me to go it in the corner and then said to just sit wherever I want. I worked on my laptop then put my clothes in the dryer. The dryer didn't work after I had put 2 quarters in and she checked it and it didn't work. So she told me to put my clothes in another dryer and I put in another quarter and pressed hi temp, but still not working. So she put in a quarter and it worked. I put in my clothes. She came back and turned on the 1st one I tried and it worked. She looked at me like it was my fault. Then when I went to check on my clothes she asked me what I was doing. So I told her and she explained that 10 minutes wasn't enough and that the dryer would notify me and ... she said other things I didn't hear. 7 more minutes and I'm out of here. Can't wait.

Wow. That was a long rant.

The Achy Feeling

Last night I had trouble sleeping. I couldn't stop thinking about a decision I have to make. (don't worry... it's a potentially positive one) So that started my day off to a bad start. Well, actually my alarm going off 20 minutes late could have done that all on its own. I decided to take my time and prepared my oatmeal to go (milk was expired -.-) and a lunch (grilled cheese with turkey & pickles).

Got to work late and had breakfast. Worked leisurely on my tasks and then had lunch. Usually I have a meeting with my boss, but we decided it wasn't necessary today. My sandwich was soggy, but I ate it anyway.

Finished the work day putting a file together. It was a nice challenge and I like when I finish things much faster than I anticipate.

Left work and returned the things I bought for my Halloween costume. Went to Morton Williams and bought apple juice & gummy worms for my sweetheart. He deserved some Halloween candy.

Got home and made meatloaf with turkey bacon in the middle. Alex made the mashed potatoes. It was all delicious! We watched some shows on the laptop (glad we're not spending money on cable when we get online for free:) and now getting ready for bed.

Overall a good day, but I still can't shake that achy feeling.

The Day I wish I Could Just Go Home & Sleep

On my way to my other job @ Columbia. I was happy to be meeting my deadlines at Lehman. Towards the end of the day though, I wasn't feeling it. I had leftover albondigas for lunch & will have that for dinner. Yum! :]

Talked to Craig on my walk to work. It's always nice to chat with him. Can't wait to see my family when I get home!

Internet wasn't working at TC. Helped me be a little more lazy today. Now I'm home, snuggled in bed, ready to watch 2 Broke Girls.

Glad I'm going to Columbia tomorrow. Always less stressful when I can work alone.

G'night!
