Today was a better day than yesterday. I don’t have days that bad too often, thank goodness. I’m tired, but physically now. Tomorrow’s Friday then I can sleep in on Saturday, do the 10 million things I know I’ll have to do and start a busy half week before I leave on vacation. But that’s ok.

Work was ok, I actually set up a meeting without losing my composure and left a few messages sounding totally professional like I do the same things that everyone else in the office does, even though I’m the admin. Sometimes I really hate being so good at everything I do, because then people expect more out of me. Just because I’m good at something doesn’t mean I like it. And the stuff we do at work involves a lot of phone time and quite a few cold calls and warm calls. Sales, basically. When I try to do that myself I really feel like I’m gonna hurl.

For spending, well, I spent $7 on lunch today, mostly because I’m an idiot and a follower and Time-Flying Dudette and Pretty Lady Dammit were both going to FruitBug Neighborhood Restaurant, so I had to get something too. Just an appetizer (plus tax and tip). I also ate my salad so it wasn’t a total waste. I washed it all down with some Double-Stuf Oreos.
I also spent $4.38 at War-Mart because the lack of sleep is really getting to me and I was out of the things that make that kind of headache go away: tylenol and caffeine. I bought store brand drugs and had a 2-for-1 bottle cap coupon for the 20oz bottles of soda, and I was happy because they had my diet cherry flavor today. I drank one today and saved the other for tomorrow, when I know I will definitely need it.

I’ve also got a little project to do. This one is fun. Every once in awhile (ok, quite often, actually), Digsters like to get together to do random exchanges. The CD exchange is the most popular, we’ve had at least half-dozen of those now but this is the first time I’ve decided to jump in and participate. At first I didn’t because, well, I had no way to make a mix cd (no burner). The last few times I don’t know why, but now I’m doing it, and I’m having fun already. We’ve got a scavenger list of the kinds of songs we need to put on it, so that makes it even more fun. The list is this:

1. A song from the last record you bought
2. A blues song: not necessasarily a blues record but a song that is labelled (something) blues
3. A song that gets you going in the morning
4. A song that you think is romantic
5. A song from one of the earliest records you can remember listening to
6. A song that you discovered from a film
7. A song from your favorite band/artist
8. A song from an artist/band that you normally don’t like
9. A Lullaby
10. A song that makes you laugh/you find funny
11. A really good cover version
12. A song that reminds you of school days
13. A song from an artist that you are embarrased to admit you like
14. Whatever it is, it’s got to be funky
15. A song for those quite rainy days
16. A song that no matter when you hear it, it makes you “Feelgood”
17. A song with the word “Look” in the title
18. A song from a member of the “Dead Rockers Society”
19. Your favorite Elvis song
20. Wildcard - just put any song you like on!

So, I’ve been paired with Shortcake for this, and we did pm each other with a few major no-no’s. For me that would be techno, (c)rap, and anything by the Black Eyed Peas. They make my ears bleed. What we receieve on these cd’s is a complete suprise, and I’m hoping to be introduced to even more music that I must purchase. As if Radio Paradise hasn’t been helpful enough in that department. Anyhoo, I do have quite a few ideas in mind for this cd, but if anyone has any other ideas, I’m open to suggestions. However, I will not post the final track listing until I know that Shortcake as received her CD. I know she knows how to find my blog, so I don’t want to ruin it for her.

I promised myself I wouldn’t blog tonite, because this is a major contributing factor into my oversleeping. But I did it anyway. *sigh* I gotta do it sometime, because I really shouldn’t be blogging from work, so I guess staying up late to do it is the only way to get it done. Oh well. Time to get to bed.
