I've become lazy about updating this journal. Nothing much is happening, but I'll mention a few bits of my life.

I'm still addicted to crochet. I made a blanket for Ferguson over the weekend because I'm still waiting on the order of yarn for my large dark blue blanket. The craft store said my yarn should be in by Wednesday. I also made a scarf that is about six feet long just because I wanted a monsterous scarf.

The air conditioner is not working in our office building. The repairmen said the part to fix it will not be available until tomorrow. It's not yet nine o'clock in the morning, and my office is already eighty degrees. I figured that this turn of events gives me freedom to dress how I'd like for work. So, I'm in comfortable clothing today instead of work clothing. I have a freakin' Harry Potter T-shirt on, actually.

Our airheaded receptionist just locked her keys in her car. The car is still running. She has an electric lock that is controled by the box on her keyring, so I'm not sure how she accomplished this little feat, but her ability to screw things up never ceases to amaze me. She was actually unaware that her vehicle was running until one of the other employees mentioned it to her. She's on the phone with her mother, begging for a copy of the key.

Payroll Girl was livid when I waltzed into the office this morning. The top layer of her hair is orange. She's vowed never to use Loreal hair color products again. The highlights were supposed to be brown. She's on the phone with customer service at the moment. I can hear her through the wall.

I have the itch to create a new website again. I really should ignore it. I never finish any of these websites. They just sit on my computer and become worthless garbage.

My resolution to drink more water and eat more vegetables has been going quite well. I've been drinking about 120 ounces of water each day. That's good, right? The more water, the better. For the past three weeks my lunches have consisted of a huge salad with lettuce, green peppers, cucumber, cauliflower, and broccoli. I've been skipping the salad dressing because I think it's exceedingly nasty when paired with a regular salad. I only dig the cesar dressing with a cesar salad (preferably the one at Macaroni Grill).

Payroll Girl has resolved her hair crisis. Loreal is sending her free hair color. She told me that one can overdose on water. Is this possible? I did a quick internet search. The only mention I could find says that it is extremely difficult to overdose on water, and that one would need to drink about three quarts of water at one sitting to even get close. The most common victims of "water intoxication" are marathon runners. It's due to low sodium levels in the blood. So, I think I'm safe. No water intoxication for me.

I wish I wasn't at work today. Jason took the day off, and he's at home having fun with Ferguson. Meanwhile, I'm shut up in this swealtering office.

The company deposited almost three grand in my 401(k) account on Friday. They're doing that profit sharing thing that is based on a small percentage of each participate's salary. This rules. I feel so adult. I have a retirement fund, and I'm investing the money in mutual funds. Oooh, yay. I really should up my $25 a week contribution, so I can save more money. The only consolation is that I also deposit some of my check into a savings account as well.

I stayed after work today on the request of the owner of the company. She wanted my opinion about hiring another girl to work in the office. She's unsure about what to do, and I can't exactly tell her because I've never met the girl. She's not sure if she'll work out. I think she's going set up a meeting so I can interview the girl for the job. If I like her, then she can have it. If I don't like her, then we'll keep looking. She's the girlfriend of the boss' husband's son. If you can follow that. I certainly hope I like her because I'd really freakin' love a receptionist to answer the phones in the morning.
