The best of the BEST!!!

Or the blogs that make me laugh the most:) Here are my top three favorite blogs written over the past two years when I worked at the Temple of Doom. Enjoy!! The Smell of Death... and Vicks Vapor Rub... Current mood: silly Category: Life It has been a very rough week at work. Monday I came in and there was an intense smell of death surrounding my desk.Yes, a mouse has died at Kelly Group. And it has died somewhere in my area. Its not pretty people.... After moving all of my stuff, and looking into all of my drawers I still couldn't find the source of the smell. (truth be told I was quite afraid to find the little bugger. i am deathly afraid of mice, whether they be dead or alive.) My WONDERFUL boss Dave, even got on the floor under my desk and moved everything looking for the mouse. Unfortunately he didn't find it. Although I was really hoping he would. a. since the smell would dissapate and b. he generally takes care of all the icky and scary stuff for all of us at work. We t...

Mrs. McGuyver

I am in such a good mood this morning, which is slightly odd, because its Monday, But I am feeling great!! I had a lovely weekend, relaxed Saturday and then worked Sunday at our Scholarship Reception. Which went perfectly, minus the one small detail of our Dean showing up late. Thankfully he wasn't tons late, as my co worker Betsy was about to have a heart attack. Other than that small blip it was great! I greeted the Students and their familes as they arrived and was the Thanks for coming have a greast afternoon person standing by the door as they left. I tried my hand at waitressing, filling up drinks, and that was a tad awkward. Thankfully I didn't spill on anyone. I was terrified that I would! So I spent a few hours there, and then ran to Payless to pick up a few items I needed for the dinner i'm making my SIL Liz. I ran home and cleaned my apt so she wouldn't be in shock at the dust:) And then I relaxed and watched a Dr Phil and the Emmy's red carpet. I love se...

peace love and chick flicks

I totally had something very scintillating to blog about and just completely forgot it. I've been having that problem lately, forgetting things. I will be attempting to write something and i cannot for the life of me think of a word! Today I forgot the word "crocs" while i was trying to leave a facebook message for one of my friends. It took me a good three minutes to remember the word. And the sad thing is this has happened to me all week long! I am beginning to wonder if I have early onset allzheimers or something. My grandma calls that young-heimers. Tonight I watched what could possibly be my new favorite movie. Made of Honor. I absolutely LOVED it!! and not just because patrick dempsey was in it, although that was a big draw! I managed to get it for 12 bucks at Walmart, it was on sale for its first week out and i had a 3 dollar coupon! So I got it for 8 bucks off the regular price! I was pretty stoked about that. I'm nowhere near as good as armadillo and catherin...

This is the time of my life....

I have been bad about updating the past few weeks, it seems like I have been so busy!! Work is going GREAT! I am slowly getting used to all of the new terms and procedures. I had a training class this week on the new program Purdue is using and I have another training session next week. Its been exciting to finally get into the program and start messing around figuring out how to do stuff. And its been really nice not having to ask my co workers to look up student information for me!! I'm getting along really well with all of my co workers too. they are retty nice people. Very low maitenance and no one seems to like drama. I've gotten alot of good comments from different people saying they appreciate my attitude and happy spirit making the office nice to be in, and how well me and sara, the person i trade off the front desk with, work together. I am very lucky to be working with Sara, she is older and just very sweet. She's just a genuinely kind person, who is very willing ...

Never Forget

I wanted to blog this yesterday, but I was busy. (more about that in a coming blog) Yesterday was 9/11, the 7'th anniversary of when our whole world changed. I am shocked, saddened, and slightly angry, at the amount of people who forgot, or didn't even care. I have always been a very patriotic person, and with family in the military, I just have alot of pride in my country. I feel 9/11 is sort of like Independance Day, not a day to rejoice, persay, but another day to celebrate our country and our freedoms that we have. And it goes without saying to honor those who lost their lives in the attacks, and those on the planes who fought for our safety, even knowing theirs was in jeapordy, and the troops that continue to make sure that we are safe. The terrorists might have attacked us, but they have not won by any means. I wish we had services or a memorial or something of that sort around here so I could go. Instead, I dressed up in red white and blue, and found a flag pin, and pro...
