There’s these 2 girls at my job. Both tall as or taller than me. Both thin withlong healthy dark hair. Both Beautiful. One’s prettier in the face, but way too skinny. Model skinny, which I find blech!. The other is not as hot-faced (she’s still pretty), but her  body’s healthier. Thin, but no hip bone pokin out. Only a little clavicle action. Nice hip:waist ratio.

Anyway, I get frustrated and annoyed with myself because I could be closer to goal if I worked harder. I don’t work hard enough.  My weight  has stayed the same since 9/17. My final weigh in is next week, unless I ssign up for the next Weight Watcher’s session.

Oh and work is kicking the ever-loving scheisser out of me.  I have so much to do, and even more to learn. Stuff that’s not even my job, yet I have to learn it because my whole major department (Production) hands the tasks I’m learning. I can has more money please? I don’t have to do anythin for live jobs, I just have due dates for practice pieces.Like I have time for that! Maybe last week I did, but not this week!

Bah.

My job should be going to the gym during the day and doing my hair/nails/make-up, cooking and housekeeping. That should be my job. I’m hopping in a time machine and bleaching my skin (cuz I really don’t feel like getting lynched).
