Am so frightfully busy!
Monkey job has taken on new dimension since boss's v. recent resignation. Finding self with twice as much to do but encountering less resistance from normally obstinate Powers that Be. They must be afraid that will abandon them. Had somewhat exciting chat with one of firm's vice presidents in which was told he would like to see yours truly step up to take new, more business-development-aimed role. Said it takes personality and that am well-suited, only lacking experience. Sounds like great opportunity to move from circus monkey to circus clown. Indeed. Show me the money.
Spent weekend in Dust Bunny Round-Up cleaning frenzy. Also spent good amount of time apologizing to Reluctant Kitten for prolonged use of frightening vacuum apparatus. Have yet to be forgiven. Was v. necessary though, as started to fear that would come home one day to discover that left-behind kitten fur had taken on life of its own. Cannot afford to feed two kittens.
Also, discovered in cleaning out refrigerator that, after emptying v. out-dated contents, all am left with is a clove of garlic and spray I-Can't-Believe-it's-not-Cancer. Err, Butter. Would go grocery shopping, but takes way more time than have scheduled for things other than reality television and laundry. Oh, and spent all of the week's grocery money on pot.
Am so v. grown up and responsible!

Plus, I always find that when I'm watching reality TV shows in my underwear, it's more pleasant for all if it's clean underwear. I know, TMI.

Posted by: Frankenstein at April 7, 2003 03:39 PMit's a tough gamble with money for groceries or money for pot. because if you buy the pot, there comes a moment in your enjoyment of it that you also need the groceries.

Posted by: michael at April 7, 2003 10:54 PMlol at the grocery money. I'm thinking of taking up knitting - I reckon I could get a sweater a week out of my dust bunnies.
Posted by: Lisa at April 8, 2003 07:09 AMhopefully the new clown job will pan out then you'll be able to afford pot and groceries. buy a bong with your bonus!
