God, I hate being clerical.

I have to waste an hour of my time taking notes at Fofie's meeting. I've never been to such meeting, so I have no idea what notes I should be taking. I have a feeling she's going to come to me later and ask me to write up minutes, and she can kiss my ass if she expects that. (This is why I'm not cut out for this sort of thing, folks.) I'm so tempted to feign illness and leave early. I hate feeling imposed upon. And if she writes such "horrible notes", why hasn't this been brought up sooner?

The boss recently said he wants me to start learning more about what's done here and go to trainings and meetings and such. Joe and I suspect Fofie spoke to the boss (remember, her brother-in-law) to get me to take notes at her meetings. Unfortunately, I agreed to both his request and hers, because I have a horrible time saying no. I really wanted to say it to Fofie. I really did. I think she knew I did.

RRRGH. Why did I ever start working with the state? (Oh, that's right, Mom.) I don't want this job. Seriously, who wants it? Lucky them I still have Ashworth and a credit card bill to pay off, although I'm going to be good about my spending and get them both paid off earlier than my original planned date in July. That was if I put $100 a paycheck toward each of them. I already went over that with the credit card by paying $150 yesterday. Ashworth is the bigger of the two, but Ashworth can be paid off slower. (I'm only supposed to be paying $49 a month on it.) I'm not messing around with the card. You don't mess around with credit cards.

I want to go home. I want to quit this job, go back to school full-time, get some other job elsewhere that has absolutely nothing to do with office work (unless LaGuardia needs a full-time office assistant, because I wouldn't mind working there).

I need to go home and play with the dog. And I really do think I'm going to skip out early. Fofie can keep taking her crappy notes.

My god.

Fofie owes me 40 minutes. Freaking meeting. I don't like meetings. People run around in circles, bringing up the same point over and over because two don't get it and have to argue it out.

Damn. XD;

I had a chance to get The World Ends With You through a trade for one of my books on Swaptree, and the deal was gone when I got back from walking Oliver. In fact, HALF the games I could have received are gone. I'm stuck with old PS2 and Xbox games no one would want anyway. Sob. I knew I should have just initiated the trade... I wanted to see what the game was all about.

EDIT: Also, making Mom a Mother's Day card. (I told her I want to start making cards, and she was admiring the scrapbooking/papercraft stuff I bought from HSN. She said she'd wanted to get into crafting before. I'm going to tell her she can mess around with it if she wants.) My first time trying to make a card, but I think she'll like it. Nothing on the inside yet, but the outside looks okay. I lack some of the tools people usually use, but considering how much money's going to go flying out of me over the next few months, the supplies will have to wait a bit. ^^; I DO want to get a box of blank cards & envelopes, though. As it is, I'm going to have to make my own envelope for this card because I have no idea what size I actually made it. HSN has three sets of them (I believe 50 in two of the packs, 40 in the last one) for $10 each. They weren't there as part of craft month, so the price shouldn't change.

I had to banish Oliver from Mom's room because he kept barking at people he heard in the hallway. He's sleeping outside her door now. XD

The fact that Lotto is up to $29 million, when it starts at $3 million and only goes up one million each drawing, should tell the New York Lottery that they seriously need to revamp the game. Every drawing I buy a ticket and check the morning after the drawing and think, "Surely someone's hit it by now." And it's gone up another million. Lotto does not hit $29 million.

(no subject)

Oh, and I've been accepted to LaGuardia as a Liberal Arts student, yay. May delcare a major when I go in for advisement. May just stay Liberal Arts. There's a Psychology option in LA. (I swear that school has everything.)
