Pissy. Strange. Life.

Today is that day. The one that really bites (here is me trying not to use profanity). My professional obligations kept me out hours later than anticipated, only to cause me to be further behind on OTHER professional obligations/deadlines. So that's fun. Even funner- a house that is 48 degrees inside and a furnace that won't turn on. Even double the fun- having the plumbers out last week for the 2nd time in 2 months and a ton of sewer in the basement. Even MORE fun- a broken car and no one for 300 miles that will fix it (literally). The MOST fun- the thousands of dollars, which I don't have, to pay for all this shit. Ok, profanity rule officially broken. This fuckin sucks. At least the on-call heating guy is super cute. Too bad he's not quite my type. Fun fuckin times.

In other notsodamndismal news... I was interviewed for a story in the local paper today. How random is that. Reporter called me at work to talk to me about couples. As if working on a PhD has taught me something- who knew! We did a whole little interview and then he asks for a head shot. A WHAT? So the readers know who they are getting their advice from, he says. Oh the fame.

If I can manage to wade through all my work I am REALLY looking forward to this weekend. Who wouldn't love a tacky prom party? I am busting out the old bridesmaids dress and doing it up 80's style. Smokin hot! Before that- women's basketball. And beer. There will be beer. After the events of this week, beer is necessary. Not optional. Silver lining- gosh, I can't drive my car. Guess I won't be the DD!
