Ok so I know I haven’t been on here in awhile.  Life’s been pretty chaotic lately.  So, I thought I put up an update for anyone who’s interested. 

Where to start….well, the Yanks have been doing better with the return of A-Rod and Posada to the lineup,  and Damon and Giambi have been on fire.  I can’t say that we’re doing great, but we’re doing ok.  All Star tickets go on sale today so I’m hoping to snag a pair on my pre-sale.  I’ll let you guys know how that turns out.  I’ve never been to an All Star Game so I think this will be a good experience.

I finally took a visit to Shea Stadium to watch a Mets vs Dodgers game.  I had never been to Shea so I thought I would go see it before it too closed.  I also wanted to see how Torre’s  (the better Joe) new team was coming.   I only  have one thing to say about Shea, and it is that I will never ever again complain about how bad Yankee Stadium is getting.  It was all together a horrible experience.

Other than baseball…lol things have pretty much been the same.  Working and then going home and working.  I did go into the city on the 7^th to have dinner and see Mama Mia on broadway again.  If you haveb’t seen it yet, then go see it.  It’s a truly phenomenal show that makes you laugh the whole way through.  Well, if I can think of anymore I’ll add more later.

Why is it that Mondays always suck?  There’s always more traffic in the morning, the weirdos call at work, and no one in the office seems to want to work.  I always joke with my co-workers that we could film our own TV show that would top “The Office”, with all of the drama that goes on in the company.

Let me explain a little more.  I work for a small glass company.  We do showcases, mirrors, showers, storefronts, etc.  The owner is away on his third vacation of the year in Aruba (yes 3 vacations so far in only 5 months).  So, as always when the boss is away most people in the company find some excuse not to work.  One co-worker comes in complaining of back pain, another is sitting on the computer ordering things for his house, and my favorite always complaining co-worker is on personal calls most of the day (although she claims she nevers makes long personal calls…very funny). 

So that would leave my boss and I to take care of the issues.  It seems as if being the youngest in a company leaves you the one who gets sh*t on.  When the other “workers” in our office don’t want to do the petty work, they throw it on me.  Now, the only way to describe my desk is disastrous.  I always have things to do.  I would say a good 85% of our company’s work comes through our office.

That said this Monday was full of me doing other people’s work, answering the phone calls of impatient people that no one else wants to call back, and doing my own work.  And to top it off my always complaining co-worker stops me every time I pass her viinity to b*tch about something different, or the same thing for the 10th time of the day.  There are some days after hearing the same thing over and over again that I just want to say very mean things to her.  But, I’m such a good girl that I shut my mouth and walk away.  I’ve gotten very good at curbing my language.  

So, finally 4:00pm rolls around and its time to go home.  Of course I get stuck behind people who do not know how to drive (as I’m convinced that most people do not know how to anymore).  After sitting behind some woman going 45 on the Garden State Parkway (mind you its a 55 zone) for 20 minutes, I make it home.  Then its off to my second job of cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the dog (who’s currently sitting at my feet in her new Yankees Princess shirt). 

Now at 8:00 pm I can finally sit down to check my emails, listen to the Nine Inch Nails’  new CD (which you can download on their site here for free as a gift from the band http://dl.nin.com/theslip/signup), drink a Smirnoff Twisted or two (I’m not a beer drinker), and post a little bit here.  The Yanks are off tonight so no game to watch.  I may list a little bit on ebay tonight.  I gotta get the money together to pay for All Star tickets, as we have the Season Ticket Holders ptesale coming up at the end of this month.  I’m praying that we can get them this year.  I’ve always wanted to go to one but they’ve always been so far away.

Well, I’ll stop ranting for now as I’ve probably bored you all out of your mind so far.  Hope everyone else is having a better Monday than I am.  Happy Cinco de Mayo to you all!

Ok so first to start off, this is my first blog on here.  My friends told me that I should have a blog on here, due to the fact that A) I never call anyone back and B) I love to blog.  So be prepared to be bombarded with my random thoughts and activities as they come to my mind.  God save the souls of those who come to read this.
