AUTHOR: tbooty DATE: 4/29/2004 09:57:00 AM ----- BODY: i've said it before and i'll say it again. i'm a virgo, people. this means i'm a control freak, perfectionist, anal retentive, etc. i freely admit to all of that labeling. i bring it up because of this. i am leaving for a long weekend this afternoon. (great! you're saying. why is this a problem? i'd give my eye teeth to do that, etc, etc) well. remember when i was saying how i love my job and all that? i got 2 files signed for this month, and they will both be funding tomorrow. I WILL NOT BE HERE TOMORROW. therefore, i need to make sure that EVERYTHING that is necessary for funding is there today. by 3pm. no problem, right? i mean it's only 9:30am here right now, right?? the problem is i don't like to relinquish control. on anything. EVER. this presents me with a small problem. it is very likely that i will triple check EVERYTHING today to make sure that i don't have to call anyone tomorrow while i'm strolling thru the shops in san fran on the embarcadero. because, you know, that would SUCK! i've already checked (3 times) that everything is ready for one of the 2 files. awesome. i'm halfway done with my work for the day. i have phone calls and emails into the person in regards to the other file. great. now, i have 6 hours until i get to leave, and i get to play the waiting game. have i mentioned that patience is NOT my strong suit? well it's not. let's put it this way. if at all possible, i will upgrade to first class on my flight out today. it's not about the bigger seats, the better service, etc. it's about getting on and off the plane FIRST! to me, that is worth the extra $50. (although, the free alcohol doesn't hurt!) i hate that the people at the BACK of the plane are standing up the second that the plane pulls up to the gate. um, you ain't getting off for a while. sit your ass down. along with impatience being one of my many virtues, i can't deal with stupid people. i just want to smack them upside their dumbass heads. now, i can see you forming the question. yes impatience bothers me. yes i'm impatient. i, however, am not a dumbass. a smart ass maybe. but not a dumbass. i realize that i'm impatient, and that's why i choose to pay the extra $50 to get on and off the plane first. see. smart. and impatient. roflmao! the answer to yesterday's quote was, in fact, weird science, just like kymmie said. today's movie quote is: "oh the pressure......of a name." one last thing. J gave me the greatest idea ever for a new segment. (ok, maybe it's not the greatest idea since sliced bread or anything, but i thought it was awesome. shut up.) every entry onto the blog now, will contain the following...........a trivia question about me. now, i know you're saying "but we don't even know you". this is true, except for kymmie. however, i feel that in the last couple of weeks, you have gotten a good idea of what makes me tick. it will be fun to see what kind of impression i've made on my blog buddies. feel free to post your answers in the comments section. and before i forget, i want to do a shout out to zoot for adding me to your rockin' blogs section. you rock girl! you also make me laugh every day when i read your entries. thanks for bringing a ray of sunshine into my life every day!
