Thursday, January 30, 2003
Location: my room
Description: jeans and a t-shirt
Emotion: lethargic
paige, this is for you
well it's certainly been awhile. i've been planning on updating for about the past month, but i kept thinking i should wait until i've fixed the layout and everything, but i'm starting to think that may not happen so i'm going to work on the content for now and maybe then i'll be motivated to enhance the layout.
life has been treating me well lately. my new house is wonderful, my roommates are fabulous and even though i don't have a job i've been keeping busy. there's all sorts of things to tal about but i'm starting to get pretty tired, so i'm just going to crash.

Another Thanksgiving list
Wednesday, November 27, 2002
Location: Dell
Description: black sweater, jeans
Emotion: shaken but still thankful
i intended to start this out with a list of things that i'm thankful for or that i appreciate - but i have a rant first. You've all heard this rant before, but this has just gotten out of control. I'm at work i've just been hung up on by a man who yelled at me for at least 5 minutes, claiming that i did not show him the respect he deserved. How was i disresepctful to him? Let me give you a para-phrasing of the conversation.
CUSTOMER: I'm very angry with deal blah blah blah
ME: I understand that your frustrated, but i work with online sales, and you have spoken with a sales rep - so i'm going to have to....
CUSTOMER: Look honey, that's not ok
ME: my name is Allyson
CUSTOMER: what? are you saying i've disrespected you?
ME: No sir, i would appreciate it if you didn't call me honey
This is where the customer goes completely nuts. He claimed that he was older than me and deserved more respect than that and he was going to be following up with my manager and several others, i had no right to disrespect him in that manner and he was going to take his business to gateway. - good riddance
anyway - thankful for
punk-rock
Dish sessions with Jill
my fabulous room-mates
a family that can't wait for me to get to dallas
the ability to speak up when things bother me
The air right before it rains
facial masks
pat's non-assuming humor
richard's totally assuming humor
the fact that my car is going to make at least one more trip
my hourglass figure
malls and shopping in general
the fact that i feel like i could go on with this list forever
Everyone have a great Thanksgiving!

mornings are hard
Wednesday, November 20, 2002
Location: Dell
Description: black sweater and jeans
Emotion: motivated
There's a point every morning when I realize my alarm clock is set 13 minutes fast. Hopefully I don't realize this until I’m already at least half dressed, because if I’m still in pajamas and realize it's actually 7:47 and not 8:00 then I’m going to get back in bed and convince myself that a 10 minute nap is exactly what I need. Unfortunately this always leads to me sleeping for at least 30 minutes, and I inevitably wake up at 8:30(8:17) and realize I have to leave in 5 minutes to make it to work on time. So I spend 5 minutes getting dressed and chewing myself out for doing this once again, then I have about 10 minutes in the car where I’m running late but there's nothing I can do to get to work any faster - I spend that 10 minutes calming myself down and trying to convince myself that today was the last day I’m going to go back to sleep - I don't need that extra sleep time and I’ve got have more self control! However, these pep talks go in one ear and out the other because at 7:47 in the morning there is nothing more important than getting back into my warm soft bed.

back and better than ever
Tuesday, November 12, 2002
Location: Dell
Description: winter clothes!
Emotion: excited
it's been awhile since i've done any real updates, but all that is going to change - of course right now i'm swamped at work - but i'm sure before the end of the day i'll come up with something brilliant to post. until then, i'm feeling much better, i guess a weekend at home was exactly what i needed. it's great to be back though - the drama this week has been super exciting and it's only tuesday, of course i can call it exciting because it's not actually happeneing to me, all the people involved in the drama probably wouldn't use exciting to describe it, but luckily i'm only superficially involved so i can be excited about it.

Allyson and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad couple of days
Friday, November 8, 2002
Location: Dell
Description: blah
Emotion: terrible, horrible, no good, very bad pretty much sums it up
I don’t know how to explain the last few days without coming across like a whiney baby. Those of you that no me hopefully realize how far that is from the truth. but I honestly don’t have the energy to explain why I’m so disappointed in life right now. So, I’m going to Houston for a change of scenery and pace and mindset – I guess one could say I’m looking for a whole paradigm shift. So anyway, I’ll be back on Monday in a much better mood I’m sure.
