Terrible horrible no good very bad day

web-toedchloe by web-toedchloe · Nov 20, 2002 · 264 views · · · Journal

Anyone remember the book of the same title? You'll get a bonus point. Today is that day for me. I couldn't sleep last night, finally fell asleep around 4am. Because of said lack of sleep, I woke up 25 minutes before I had to be at work. I was only 10 minutes late, so I decided to try to hide from my boss and go to another floor in my office. I there ran into my office manager who I informed that I'm not planning to go back to school in January. (I plan on regular pioneering again). She grimaced, which everyone who I've told has been doing, and jokingly said the she would be forced to fire me if I didn't go back in September. Usually I'm one for a little good-natured ribbing, but her sardonic attitude almost made me cry today. I fought with my boyfriend last night and his cell phone is off so I can't call to apologize or even to say I love him. My hot chocolate is cold and I've got a hangnail.

Far too many of my journals are regarding this kind of terrible horrible no good very bad day.

Sweet thought, Ty. I read your comment a couple times hoping it would work. Not yet...

YES!!!!

Regular Pionnering again!!! I'm sooo happy! That's so awesome!!!

Don't worry about Donovan... he loves you soooo much. You'll get through to talk with him and realize whatever the arguement was about was something stupid.

And don't worry too much about the work thing... Jehovah will bless you for the effort you're making. Even if you lose this job, a better one will come along!

Diana's going to be a regular pioneer again... my day is off to a good start!

Ok, THAT made me feel better. You're very sweet, David, thanks.

Well, you know how I feel about you pioneering. You ROCK as a pioneer... with this decision to get back on the list, Satan is going to try to discourage you. I've been there, as you know, getting back on the list. I know it's taking a lot of effort and if you look at it objectively, the arguement with Donovan and the work thing are just Satan's efforts to get you to doubt your decision about pioneering.

I am soooooooooo excited... this is soooooo cool.... uh oh, I have to get ready for service!

I am so happy you are going back to pioneering! You will be much happier that way. Dave it right, Jehovah will provide the best thing for you in everything you do. What is your work # again in case i have the chance to call you later?

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 ·

Thank you! You guys are right. J we have to get together soon. There's a little comedy club in New Brunswick that is just about half way. My work # is 973-398-7500 x.26, but maybe I could call you at home tonight and we can talk a little. So much trauma to fill you in on! Thanks honey! I love you!!!

ooooh yea lindsay.. me and you.. milkshakes are the BEST!!!!!!

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

They really are, if you think about it a lot. It's ice cream which is one of the best food items known to man..just with a goodness texture! Anything you can blend up and drink it AND still have it taste good is awe-some.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 ·

Mike made such awesome vanilla shakes last Friday... I also love chocolate malt shakes, using imported Ovaltine (which has a lot less sugar than the US version)...

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·

There was a scientific study that concluded a few years ago that determined that vodka martinis that were shaken had a higher level of antioxidents than those that were stirred (no lie!)
