I am sooooo hungry!

I am not working today - at the in-laws place killing time until I go to meet J's cousin for lunch.

Yesterday, my lunch was fantastic!

Started with a Frappuccino, then an ice cream (Oreo cookies with chocolate ice cream) and to top it off a cake. A chocolate cake!

I loved it! If someone didnt know me - they would think I am messed up in the head or have a seriously eating disorder. I dont. I think.

Here is thing though - of eating such a bad lunch. By evening, my stomach was flipping up and down. I was hungry and full at the same time. Oh, I had kale for dinner to make up for the delicious but absolutely unhealthy lunch!

Anyhoo, not really recommended....

Song

I am secretly singing 'Unbreak my heart' by Toni Braxton.

I do secretly love that song!

Waiting....

I am in a completely different mood today.
Things have changed drastically for me.

Dont worry this is not another venting blog but more of let me focus blog.

I have decided I need to find another job. I know I have mentioned it a few times but I know now - that this has got to stop. I am getting too stressed out for things that I dont get paid to stress out over!

I get paid $3200 per month (which in Vancouver doesnt mean all that much) - and believe me when I say I do way more work than that amount covers! I feel like I am being taken advantage of and I dont like that one bit.

Either that or I need to get preggers asap - so I dont have to show up at work everyday with a feeling of some sort of impending doom over head.

I have also decided to unionize my work place. If that gets me fired - all well and good I can sue the company or simply go to law school. If not, people working here will get better pay and benefits. I think I will quit sooner or later regardless.

I hate this feeling. I simply hate but at the same time I know what I have to do.

All this because my position at this place is 'temporary'. As in, they want me to keep working as I am but dont want to give a permanent position and more pay.

So I have to call the stops but before I do I have to try to unionize this place - it will be for me but also some other poor soul who walks into this place.

Smile

This came from my sis - who I miss so much that it breaks my heart sometimes. She is in India and is forever trying to send things to me - to make me smile.

Its pretty funny -

WAYS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.

4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN."

5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

6. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for smuggling diamonds."

7. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy."

8. Don't use any punctuation.

9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

10. Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat - with a serious face.

11. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."

12. Sing along at the opera.

13. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day at work.

14. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.

15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.

16. Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Bottom.

17. When the money comes out the ATM, scream "I won! I won!"

18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling, "run for your lives, they're loose!!"

19. Tell your children over dinner "due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

Shut up!

My two co-workers are always having stupid arguments.

Right now they are arguing how to file things on the computer/server and how to access it.

Dear old G is a hoot (as she would say it) I love her - but she doesnt get computers or filing on computers

And the receptionist - yes, the same racist one, is good at computers!

Anyhoo, there are times when they argue for hours on the same subject each one saying the completely different things and not listening to each other.

This can go on and on and on and on!

It really irritates me cause their arguing interferes with what I am doing - cause I cant freaking think!

Now they are chatting!

God - I just want to get my work done and go home - its friday for crying out loud!


Anyways, on a completely different note - Marbleslab seems to be opening its stores in my 'hood here is the link if you dont know what it is all about! http://www.marbleslab.com/

All I can say is about freaking time! My life will be different after its opening!

feeling....

I am feeling weird. I feel light.

All I want to do today is eat, drink, smoke (nudge, nudge, wink, wink!), laugh, dance, run....ever had one of those days?

I know its just 11am here and my mood may change very fast.

This whole being euphoric does not suit me I think - I have never felt like this for no reason at all. Usually there are reasons. This time - I am just lite!

Yesterday, I got home and had a beer - I never do that!

I feel something is going to come crashing down on me and I dont care.

I know I am going to enjoy this while it lasts!

What the hell is going on? Do you ever feel like this?
I am addicted to Savage Love.
I read it every week - if you havent already read this weeks column you should. It cracked me up!

I dont know what to blog about....


I am seriously thinking about becoming a bone marrow donor. Getting registered. Not b/c of anything or anyone I know who needs bone marrow - but just cause there are not that many brown ppl in the marrow donor list...seems like the right thing to do.

I have some reservations - I dont want to get registered only to say no to someone who needs it. However, I have always believed that if, say for example, I were to donate my lungs they would never go to someone who smokes - you get what I am saying.

I dont know enough how much lifestyle has to do with bone marrow - I am no doctor - but I would like to some research on it....

I think J finds it wierd that I want to get registered just cause...

Were you big fan of the Sopranos?

Heeellllllo!

This guy that I sometimes work with, who is sort of my boss, has difficulty looking at me when he talks to me.

No, he is not shy - he just talks to my chest!

Its funny cause I can see that he is trying real hard to look at me when he is talking but invariably his eyes go down....

I want say "heeeellllooo, I am here" but I cant he is sort of my boss. Plus, I dont really see him that often.

Usually this would completely piss me off but I find it kind of funny.

Again on the bus

Yesterday, I seriously thought of starting a blog like this...

I saw this lady who was atleast in her 40s probably more (I can never tell age) anyhoo, she had a fantastic body and I got to know this how?

[Okay at this point let me state that most of the times I dont care what people wear. As long as it makes them comfy who am I to judge but this - was just a bit wierd....]

So she was wearing a black deep necked sweater- just enough to show off her cleavage. It was tight enough and coming just to her hips. Below that she wore black leggings with the word 'bebe' written in pink sequence on her bum. She was wearing fake black snake skin boots. Carrrying a black purse and had loosely wrapped a black and white shawl around her. All this was bit too much to begin with but she also had her hair tied high up and all around her face and had tonnes of makeup on.

Any idea why she would subject herself to this...? Cause it just baffles me.

Monday bus blues.

I hate going to work on Monday.

This morning was the same. I was staring sleepy eyed into the space before me when a grungy looking man took over that space. He was not dirty directly but certainly implied dirty. He was wearing what looked dirty clothes they were not smelly or anything they just looked dirty. He had unclean hair.

Again this guy was not smelly. But the thought came to my mind - what if I stick my index finger out and touch him to see if he is dirty? What would his reaction be? It was wierd Monday morning moment for me. Usually I dont have such complex thoughts that early in the morning.... So now my brain is working a little too early and it hurts!


I saw this other girl in the bus. She was wearing faking eyelashes first thing Monday morning. What kind of a profession would you have to be in to wear fake eyelashes that early? Her eyes were barely open. Honestly, she was fighting to keep her eyes open under those fake eyelashes. Today she was wearing cords and a top. I didnt have a chance to see how slutty her top was but last week the same girl was wearing definate ho wear!

She was wearing white hot pants that were made out of very professional looking checked material - you know the kind...? So that was wierd to start with. Her butt cheeks were screaming 'Good Monday Morning' to everyone. To top this off, her sweater was flimsy and super low cut. She had tonnes of make-up and high heels....

I am intrigued as to what she does for a living....

Le Weekend

The title is probably not grammatically correct but who cares? Grammer is soo overrated!

So this weekend was one of those busy ones.

First we got out fabulous furniture which was awesome - we spend most of the sunday morning cleaning it and drying it and arranging it....boy was it tiring.

Then we had to attend a baptism. Our first. It was disappointing as I was expecting it to be exactly like the baptism in the Godfather. Sadly, no blood shed. Instead it was all sober and quiet. We also realized that we are the only couple sans children in all our couple friends. Screw that.

I dragged J, his sis and her bf for a hindi movie. Shootout at Lokhandwala. I grew up in the neighbourhood not very far from where that shootout happened. In fact, I remember hearing the gunshots! Anyhoo, the movie was completely pakao (stupid) but it was entertaining nonetheless. Vivek Oberoi who plays the lead villian - is sooooo good looking.

The downside of this weekend was we spent a lot of money eating. So that was stupid on our part.

Update

Definitely not pregnant. I am disappointed but also relieved.

Oh well. Atleast I know how I feel.
