Been a while...

It's been some time since I've been here!  I've looked at it, and started to post something, but then thought either 'they don't need to know that' or 'nah, that's not even interesting to me!'.  So, why bother?  (I'm sure there's some therapeutic or entertaining idea here, but whatever...)

Alas, the world has gone crazy today, and maybe so have I. 

Got up early this morning (6:30 - perhaps not early for some), said good morning and good bye to my house guest and put on a pot of brew - the last of my Starbucks French Roast.  Then who knows where the next 2 hours went!  Finally made it out of the apartment - yes showered and dressed - by 8:30.  Get into my car and realize I'm running on empty.  Drive by one gas station - 108.4 - WTF?  Seriously I don't understand gas prices and likely never will.  Get to the next - 108.4 - WTF?  Damn, I need gas though so I pull in and insert my card to pay at the pump.  Put in all my info, it authorizes and then spits out a bill for $68.00.  WTF?  I didn't even pump any gas yet!  I storm into the gas station just buzzing.  More from the entire pot of coffee than in anger.  They ensure me that it was just a printing problem, that my card was not charged and that I should just go pump my gas and not be so lazy (ok they didn't really say that) and pay the attendant.  I'm not pleased at this time, but I do as they say.

Head down to Starbucks because I haven't eaten, and of course I need more coffee!  The lineup is crazy!!!  So I say 'screw it I'll go to Woodroffe' and I leave.  Attempting to get out of the parking lot proved quite difficult as it seemed no one knew there were actually 2 lanes of traffic!  So after almost being cut off three times I head on my merry way!!

Get to my 2nd Starbucks stop and this lady decides to try and park beside me.  Well, apparently she's never parked her tiny Corolla before - because it took her at least 5 tries and 3 near misses of my vehicle before she had secured her spot and given me enough room to get out!  Finally I have my coffee and yogurt and apple fritter 'cause I need sugar now too and I head on my merry way!

Finally get into work - it's 9:30 and I'm late but there's no one here (that matters) so that's OK!  Instant MSN's start coming in...One coworker is having phone sex with a client's communication centre and another wants to do another's elbow divots!  HAHA  (OK, this made a whole lot more sense when you saw the messages).

Alas, email has come in and ruined my train of thought and taken me from my happy place.

Not all is fair in love and war.  And regardless of how integral people say they are, there are never such ways in divorce! 

On a better note, I checked, and I didn't get charged the $68.00 for gas that didn't belong to me!
