Jeans and Sneakers

I was late for work and ended up helping to make a mistake, enough so that my boss called me in the conference room for a talk.  It really pissed me off, not that I was getting spoken to about being late, that was my own damned fault and I took responsibility for it.  But the mistake. . .I had asked him to check on before it was made, and he checked it and said it was ok, but then felt the need to speak to me about it, as if I should take total responsibility for it anyway.

I was fine until he asked me if I was ok. . .that’s when I started to lose it and had to get up and exit the room.  I considered giving in my notice right then and there, telling them I’m not the office girl they’re looking for **waves her hand like a Jedi Master**, but I would like to (and at this point, it’s really not need to, I set back my next payment due date until 2011 by paying what I have already) pay off my debt.  Just get it gone.  Clean slate and all of that.  But I know it’s going to take me until March at least to pay it off.  And I’m miserable about having to stay there that long.  It’s not like it’s some horrible place like my last job.  It’s just that I’ve finally accepted that I don’t want to work in an office.  And now that I know, having to do it anyway really sucks.

So tonight when I came home I was pretty bummed out.  Rob was great and cleaned up the kitchen and made us dinner.  Afterwards, my night looked like this:

Well, this and a bunch of XFiles episodes.  Yes, that’s an empty bottle of wine.  Yes, I emptied it pretty much by myself.

I had a different bottle opened first, but I didn’t like it, so Rob drank half of that one, and I drank this one.  This one had a really low alcohol content though, and tasted like cider.  I’m hardly buzzed, but it was tasty.

It’s not as good as the Marco Negri, but whatever.

So last night I finished Sheldon’s legs, and tonight I did the back of his shell.  Two more pieces, some stuffing and I’m done!!  Please excuse the horrible coloring of these photos, it’s about 10pm, and I took these pics like 10 mins ago.

I’m pretty excited to have another FO coming up, I can’t wait to see how he comes out.  And immediately after that, I have to work on my sister’s present.

And after that, I’ll have to work on my dad’s sweater, which I’ve made absolutely no progress on in far too long.  GRR.

I’ll get back to it soon.  I hope.
