m day confirmed.

I found out at a happy hour event the actual day when I am going to be moving offices - and joining in a shared office.

This is sad, sad day that will not get me any sympathy except from other people in the office because no one else has to share an office.

Otherwise?

People have no sympathy. Killer? "Yeah, I have a big open space with three other people and sometimes this intern." No sympathy there. Though she does understand.

On Friday I was talking to people at my internship that I was having to share an office, and the guy gave me this, "girl, please!" look. Granted he shares the small office space with four other people.

Despite all this, my office was awesome because of it's centeral location, and I might have a crappy desk now. Next Friday will be a dark day. The one shining fact being that it will begin the Halloween Festivities.

Probably the only thing that could make me feel better.

best. holiday. ever. coming!

Okay, so there are certain holidays that we always look forward to.

Scratch that, now that we're adults - or I'm i the working world - any time that I get a day I'm fucking pumped. But there are those holidays that might not get you a day off of work that are awesome.

Now I do have to preface this and say that of course I like Christmas. I mean, who doesn't right? I mean, clearly, other than the Jews, and others that believe in a religion that specifically doesn't believe in Jesus. Or God.

How did this transition into a horribly un-PC post?

I digress. I love Christmas - but almost more for the fact that you get so many days, and there is a guarantee of presents. But there are points that I don't like. Fighting with family because you're sick of them. The eventual disappointment of it 'all' being over. Very anti-climatic. Plus? Sad when you think of family members that are no longer with you celebrating because they've passed on or unable to make it.

My favourite holiday? Easter.

Weird. I know. But it's my favourite holiday when I celebrate it with Mrs. B. and her family. They make it an extravaganza. There are traditions, there is awesome food, there is camraderie, and there is her loud, but highly entertaining family. And the best? The glory of being the winners of the egg toss - especially the over the house egg toss.

That my friends takes skill.

My second favourite holiday? And it's a very, very close second. It should more be a tie. And is the first when I can't join Mrs. B. for Easter?

Fucking Halloween.

How can you not love Halloween. When you're a kid you get to dress up to your heart's content and get oodles of candy. Oodles. Of. Candy. Plus? Any holiday that has themed candy! Awe. Some. And despite the fact that there is the very astute description of candy corn as 'ear wax,' it's still fucking awesome candy.

When I was a kid I fucking ROCKED the vampire outfits. For like three years in a row actually. I had a thing for vampires - my last year being the best. I remember I returned to class and people were all, um who are you, and why are you taking this stuff?, because I was picking my show & tell shit up from earlier in the day. Sigh. Loved those days.

Now as an adult, there are other things to look forward to. Mostly, the fun of finding an awesome outfit and preparing for the evening, and instead of candy you get drunk and have an awesome time. Or, you know, get a different type of candy. From strangers - where it doesn't matter that they're strangers anymore.

Anyway, my outfit? Is set. It's awesome. I've tried it on multiple times.

Plans were finalized with CBF tonight about where we're going. He's coming down - and it's going to be fucking awe. Some!

And in order to not burn out quickly, I'm going to try and post funny memories and stories leading up to the extravaganza of next weekend.

Halloween, here we come!

longest. week. ever.

My job job. Is. Well...awful. I don't want to go into too many details, but the task that I'm doing out of my office is pretty fucking awful.

I actually think that's putting it mildly.

I'm knackered beyond belief. With tedious work work all day. Class assignments, and I'm fairly positive I handed in something that was crap on Monday, and my internshp.

Internship. I love ye, but you're fucking. killing. me.

Plus? I think I might be getting sick. Or sick.

I still have loads of work to do, and sleep is just...not near.

And? I'm not sure when this off-site assignment is going to end. It's seriously the worst thing ever.

Though I did have to laugh today when I went to go get a soda at 2 (in the afternoon, just to be clear) to try and stay awake, despite the fact that the caffeine count for the day was already pretty fucking high, and the 'lunch room' was fucking bursting with people. I had to dodge and weave my way to the machine.

Half of them? Watching a soap really loud.

The other half? Sleeping.

Heads on the table, nap time, sleeping.

This my friends is why jack shit ever gets done.

My question is, how the fuck are the sleeping with that really loud TV on in the background, along with this really loud fan because the room's so fucking hot because there are so many people in it, and, just with that many people around?
