oh crap
saturday night i left early from the club we were at because i had to wake up at 8am the next morning for the run/walk for cancer i had signed up to do.
so i woke up the next morning, put on my cap (to protect my head from the rain) and made my way to times square. alas when i got there, there were no runner/walkers in sight. i walked a couple of blocks up and across and saw no sign of a run/walk. i did see a horde of bikers and policemen though, so i enquired about the run/walk and maybe i had mistook the biking for running/walking. apparently that was the five-boro bike tour so phew, i had not yet lost my mind. i checked my phone and it said april 30th- which was the day of the run/walk. by now i was totally confused (like one of those moments when you wake up after a mid-day nap thinking it's the next morning and you're sent into a huge panic?). i checked the calendar on the phone and only then i realized the 30th is a saturday not a sunday!! i was about a day late for the event- so much for good intentions.
then today i set the oven on self-clean mode because i thought it was about time for that appliance to adopt some hygiene practices. i think what actually happens during self-cleaning is the oven raises the temperature so high it turns everything to ash. unfortunately we have a very sensitive fire alarm and it would not shut up for the life of us. it was squealing away and would only stop if we stood below it and fanned the smoke away. yup, it was behaving exactly like a wailing baby and it annoyed the hell out of me i wanted to rip it out if not for the fact that i would probably have to pay for the damage later.
6 mth review due on friday and i have to evaluate myself. how about this: EXCELLENT EMPLOYEE! EXEMPLARY PERFORMANCE!!! PLEASE RAISE HER PAY!!!
