The straggly aftermath of New Years...

Okay...back to work...wooh, I have a suggestion for all you young'uns who haven't been horribly unwise about what they drank for New Years. (Can't believe it, but bear with me, willya?) OOoh...Do NOT, under any circumstances drink any kind of creme liquer after a chartreuse and vodka martini...DO NOT DO THIS!!!EVER!!! I am rarely stupid enough to drink enough to make me ill, but...um, it sure wasn't pretty..neither was the next morning..and even today, I have a slight headache and sunlight hurts...(At least I've GOT sunlight now...and can't deal...ooog..) At least I wasn't the only one suffering that night; the party I went to was full of programmers who were all on call last year...they had some catching up to do. Goddess bless the programmers!!! I kiss them full on the mouth!!! (Okay, I did...quite a bit, actually...boy, was that a good party...except for hurling my guts in a snowbank outside the police station at 5 in the morning...and no, I didn't get arrested for it:))

so now I'm back at work, humbled, chastened by the new year...and verrry quiet:) I do think it's time to give myself a brithday treat of something intereting with my hair...black streaks would be nice...Even though i'm tempted to just grab some Manic Panic and let fly, I'm going to a local place that does great hair and extensions and suck...after I get paid again..the holidays hurt me pretty bad checkbook-wise. (I can make it till payday, but just barely.) At least I'm better off than my friend Brian, who has to armor-plate his ass after he was on call and missed a call for an hour. (It is not fair he's getting screamed at--he worked all night, caught the call within an hour, and ended up sleeping 3 hours in 30. He must leave this job!!)

Anyway, time to...work...and no more 3-day weekends for me...(I know, I'm lucky to get the weekends, and you're right--I shouldn't sniffle for the good things I got:) Just the obligatory work grumble...)

Ms Fledermaus....just coffee, please....
