^ What the universe is saying to me (So dramatic)

I have to go to work at 7am tomorrow (Saturday). Problems. Is it too much to ask for a regular 9 to 5 weekday job? Also, it’s Cinco de Mayo tomorrow.

Important thoughts of the day

1. Emailing and calling people makes me extremely dislike people. Problems. I know you feel the same way. Sometimes I really believe that hell is other people.

2. Have you heard that song “Keep Me In Mind” by Zac Brown Band? If you listen to the lyrics, it’s pretty pathetic. He wants to be someone’s second choice? Who wants to be sloppy seconds or a backup plan?? One guy pretty much said this to my friend and I don’t think she found it to be a turn on. Nmp.

3. In other news, it looks like James Franco is back on Facebook. His new “project” has to be fake. A show called “Undergrads” that follows undergraduate students? This is a knock off of MTV’s “College Life”, which was filmed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My sister claims that she saw the “College Life” guy and he had a massive party and was arrested. Nmp.

This is the first rage post of 2012. This one goes out to people who drove to work in the snow to their part-time jobs that don’t pay them enough. Everyone in the Midwest always questions why they live here whenever it snows, which is why I applied to school in Texas (and probably will not be accepted because the snow gods hate me). I think that driving in snow puts people- especially me- in a really bad mood. I feel like the only people who like snow are skiers and people around Christmas. Other than that, snow does not have a purpose. Snow problems. Rant over. I know you all just love rants about snow! *** I’m curing the winter blues by watching crazy women break down on The Bachelor (claws out!). Courtney needs to pull the stick out of her ass. Do you think she was told to act like the villain? Her issue is that she is a princess. I figured out what’s up with Courtney’s face- it’s her mouth when she talks. It looks really strange. My favorites/the most sane ones are Emily, Lindzi, and Kacie. And finally, B is for boring and Ben. Nmp. “On a scale of 1-10 I feel like I’m going to throw up”. ??? So what number is that? This is the funniest rose ceremony yet.

Since about 75% of my friends are Jewish, I thought I should buy some Hanukkah cards for the holiday season 2012. I went to a card shop and got a set of Hanukkah cards for half off. Sadly, when I got home, I realized that Hanukkah is spelled incorrectly on the cards! I may not be Jewish, but I’ve been writing “Happy Hanukkah” (I’m not a fan of starting it with a “C”) since I was in second grade and I know that there are not two “n”s in it. Also, see wikipedia and use your spell check. Since I am me, I sent an email to the company- yes, a printing company, not an artist who makes handmade cards at his/her apartment- and they said I was wrong. I know I sound like a brat for telling them that they have been selling a spelling error for the past 4 years (cards were copyrighted in 2008), but it irks me when people tell me that I am the one who is wrong when I know that I am right, if that makes any sense. A woman named Shirlene emailed me back and said Believe it or not, Hanukkah has a few acceptable spellings based on the translation….. Acceptable spellings are Chanukah, Hanukah, as well as, Hanukkah.  Wrong! Plus, she didn’t even include the misspelling from the card in her example (Hannukah)! I think in the back of my mind I was hoping for them to send me a set of cards with the correct spelling. The store I bought it from is final sale only, so hopefully they will let me exchange it (If not, I will say they hate Jewish people. Just kidding!). Curse you, people who cannot spell Hanukkah/people who do not use spell check! How does stuff like this slip by editors?? I realize that this is a first world problem, however it’s like sending a Christmas card that says “Merry Chrissmas!”. No. Not my problem- how embarrassing! It is my problem, however, for buying something without reading it closely. Jewish friends or people who are good at spelling- please weigh in! ?

A freak of nature (?)

I feel like I am one of the only females who does not like manicures. I used to be a big brat and demand manicures when my friends had bat mitzvahs and other junior high events, but ever since high school I can’t stand them. Why have someone else paint your nails when you can do a decent job yourself? I also dislike people touching my hands constantly and since I’m a germaphobe, it slightly creeps me out that the nail polish I choose has been used on other peoples’ nails (they could have a fungus or something!).

I was recently tricked into a manicure. Yeah, yeah this should not be my problem. Some of the older women in my family wanted to get together and have a women’s day or something (I’m already gagging). I thought it was just lunch (I’m always down for food), but apparently I did not hear the first part. I’m being forced to get a manicure tomorrow. This sounds slightly ridiculous, but it’s kind of like if you dislike dogs and are forced to be in a room with a dog- you’re just not that into it. First world problems.

The older women in my family also asked me if I’m into Uggs, J.Crew, etc…I just can’t. I have no desire (or money) to be your typical [suburb] girl!

Currently having numerous rage strokes because I chose today to deal with all of my medical issues. Health insurance gives me so much rage, especially Blue Cross Blue Shield because they had a computer glitch in September, which messed up all sorts of billing. FYI. Shrinks should have secretaries because leaving multiple voice mails for three weeks with no appointment in sight is ridiculous. Hello? Anyone there? Thank goodness I’m not suicidal or I would probably be dead by now. Going to a doctor who prescribes me medication that costs $500 aka medication I cannot afford is outrageous. Also, I don’t see why patients should pay so much for 3 minute appointments. Aren’t we going through enough pain because we are in need of a dr in the first place? Why cause more pain and suffering with complicated billing/insurance? I don’t think I will ever understand the healthcare industry. I think we can all agree that it should be easier to deal with and less expensive. I haven’t been to my primary care doctor since 2008. Health care in America: so many problems.

The past 12 hours have been a doozy

1. Last night before going to sleep, I decided to randomly check a dating site where my profile is invisible (because I enjoy internet stalking and am slightly crazy). Lo and behold, said crush I was internet stalking was on there. This made me go crazy. Men make women crazy without even meaning to make them crazy. I was in bed by 2am and couldn’t sleep, which was bad because…

2. This morning I had an interview. I didn’t include waiting for public transportation into my timing so I had to run to the office. When I got there (sweaty), I had five 15 minute interviews. It was like intense speed dating- repetitive and tiring. This interview (or these interviews) are just for an internship! One of the guys who interviewed me talked about his favorite drunk food. It was kind of weird.

3. This afternoon I mixed up the time I was supposed to have a conference call with my other job. I thought central time was before east coast time for some reason, so I messed up and had to call from the train and now I fear that I am in deep shit.

(First world) problems. Not your problem. Blerg. I’ve never had this many problems in 12 hours. The remainder of today: work with the kids and FTP concert. This is the busiest day I’ve had in months.

What’s the deal with flats??

I wear them because my feet hurt too much in heels, but flats hurt, too. I walked all over the city today in a pair from Target (are cheap shoes the culprit?) and my toes were in so much pain. I don’t know if it’s normal or not, but my big toe slightly points upwards and I usually end up making a hole in the top of my shoe (maybe I have fucked up feet). Personally, I don’t think humans were meant to wear shoes or at least closed toe shoes. Do flats give you issues, too??

Problems.

Signs I have problems

I haven’t used my standard iPod since 2008 and I don’t know how to turn it on. I texted people asking how to turn it on and had to look it up online and I still cannot figure it out. I don’t think it’s dead. I feel like an old person right now. Problems.

EDIT: I gave up and am listening to spotify. The only reason I wanted to listen to it was because I had a strong bizarre urge to listen to “God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You” by *NSYNC, which I have listened to 5x. Problems. Embarrassing and longest song title ever. How many babies do you think were made to the ballads of *NSYNC? My guess is 90% of the kids I work with today.

Also, any suggestions??
