1. I love things that smell good. I am a big fan of candles, air fresheners, smelly laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Oddly enough, I do not like perfume. I think it’s because people tend to overdo it (I know you all have either worked with someone or got stuck on the elevator with “Ms. I took a shower in perfume”)
2. I hate it when people wear corduroy pants in the winter, there I said it – I feel better. It makes me sweat just looking at them, and I always think…..doesn’t their ass sweat? Isn’t that so uncalled for?? I’m obscene – I know.
3. Stupidity is not ok. In fact, stupidity is just an excuse for a lazy person to get out of doing things that the normal person can easily complete. For example, my boss….she brings me things to do because “she is too busy”, but then in the next breath she says, “I don’t understand that one, but I thought you could figure it out”. I always want to respond, “Yes! I am capable of doing your job, that is why it infuriates me that I practically do it and do not get compensated for it…and yet you still treat me like shit!” Instead, I smile and say “I will take care of it.” (I need the job or I would vent my opinion, however I am doing very well at restraining myself because the level of stupidity in this place is far above normal).
4. I procrastinate on everything, yet still manage to get all of it done by the set deadline. I think that is the college student part of me coming out. I am taking a class right now that started on July 7th and ends on August 8th. There are 16 weeks of material stuffed into 5 weeks. I really need to work on my class everyday to stay caught up, but instead I choose to do it about twice a week. I have 2 assignments due on Friday; ask me if I’ve started them? NOPE! They will be done though, and if history repeats itself, I will get an A.
5. Dusting sucks! I try to do it once a year. I don’t understand where it all comes from. My desk at work for example……I have dust bunnies behind my monitor that I’m ready to name because I’ve been looking at them for so long. I can remove them today, but next week there will be more. I’m not a dirty person, but c’mon….this is just crazy!
6. I’ve decided that fat is the new hot. Seriously! I have dieted and lost 50 pounds and tried my hardest to maintain it, only to gain it all back and then some. I told my Mom the other day that I was buying new shorts and letting my fat legs hang out, I am tired of worrying about my image. In order to convince myself that this is true my motto is “Fat is in this year. It’s the new hot.”All the ladies at work agree. (Or they think I’m crazy and they’re scared to tell me).
7. Vacation!!!! I’m counting down the days until I got to sunny FL for a beach vacation! The last week of August I’m going to live in my bathing suit. I’m going to drink lots of Mai Tai’s at a Tiki Hut and look at cute boys from behind my sunglasses. Woo hoo!
8. When I get aggravated I clean. On Friday at work I was so aggravated with how things were going (i.e. my boss) I cleaned the entire office. I had to get away from my desk before the top of my head blew off from the frustration. One of the ladies I work with was amazed. She said “Wow, I need to hire you to clean my house.” I did not have the heart to tell her that she was going to have to first invite me to her home, and then royally piss me off – because that is about the only time I thoroughly clean.
9. I love swimming in pools and lakes, but I hate oceans. I can’t get the whole shark and jellyfish thing out of my head. Before you go asking what the difference is between a lake and the ocean, considering you can’t see what is in either, I ask you…..When is the last time you saw a shark in a lake? Yeah, that’s what I thought. I can stand Nemo, but those big teethy things are out of my league.
10. I’m obsessed with deodorant. I think it is because I’ve been around a lot of people who need to wear it but don’t. It must be a college student thing that I’m not aware of. I mean, I understand that we all live on a budget, but seriously – invest in some deodorant. I put mine on like 3 times a day. I want to buy some travel sized ones and pass them out to people when they stink, but I don’t think there is a nice way to do that.
11. TiVo is the greatest invention ever! I’m too lazy to stay awake until 10 pm during the week to watch some of my favorite shows. Generally on Saturday’s when everyone is out of the house I curl up on the couch and watch everything I recorded from the past week, without interruption and if I do get interrupted, I can always rewind or pause. J
12. I do not like to wear shoes. In the summer I wear slide on shoes to work and if you ever walk behind my desk, you will notice that my shoes are not anywhere near my feet. I usually kick them off as soon as I sit down and during the shuffle of the day they get shoved in a corner by my trash can. At the end of the day you can find me of the floor looking for them. My co-workers laugh at me because our entire office is carpeted and I will walk from my desk to the copy machine without my shoes on. It’s clean in here, I hound housekeeping about vacuuming and scrubbing carpets, they get the chills when they see an e-mail from me. Ha ha! I’m the same way in the winter, but sometimes I have to untie my shoes. I’m a little strange, I know.
13. I am addicted to books. I ordered 3 more today. I count down the days until payday so I can go online and order more books to read. I ordered a 2 biographies and a book that is based on a television series today, I can’t wait until they come! I guess it is a healthy hobby, it could be worse!

Hi There. Your post was funny on so many levels. It was almost like you crawled into my head and pulled out 13 random thoughts I was having. Fat is for sure the hot thing this year, and I am all for your idea of passing out deodorant to stinky people. We would probably get slapped a few times but I really think it might be worth it! Thanks for sharing! Have a great one!
