Proof that I can be witty on any subject
Posted Apr 27, 2007
So I was hanging out on Gaia last night, in my guild, and I noticed an enticing thread called "Greek Myths." Clicked on it, and found out that one of my guild members was doing a school project where she had to come up with three Newspaper adverts using Greek myths as subject matter. By the time I happened on the thread she had already finished her project but I couldn't help but contribute. This is what I came up with...I hope you enjoy it!
"Proserpina, please come home. The villagers are starving but I just can't bring myself to make the corn grow without you. And don't you DARE eat anything while you're down there!!! I MEAN IT!!! With love from your mother, Demeter."
"For sale

"Tired of staring at the same old stone aqueducts every day? Let Vulcan turn those boring sandstone monstrocities into pure, sparkling, picure-perfect wraught iron! Call 555-4202 today! special discount for demigods"
"Come on down to King Midas's Gold Leaf Emporium. We guarantee we can gild anything to your specifications or your money back! Let our "Midas Touch" work wonders for your old, tarnished gold jewelry. Be the envy of all your friends at the next palace dinner/orgy!"
"SWG, 3000 years old, seeks wood or water nymph to share relaxing romp in the underbrush. I like: lightening, thunder, promiscuity. You like: promiscuity, being turned into animals by jealous wives. Send letter to box 3976 in the name of Jupiter."
"Neighbors getting on your nerves? Wealthy family member hanging onto life by a thin thread? Wish they'd all just DIE already? Let us help with all your underworld needs! Simply give a gold coin to the always-ready Styx ferryman and we'll send cerberus to collect whomever you want offed. Pranksters need not apply. Come on down!"
"With Valentine's day just around the corner, many of us are hoping that one special someone will finally notice us. Let Venus help with your love troubles. Simply sacrifice three peacocks and a peahen in the temple of Venus at Rome and she'll send her son Cupid to shoot his arrow of love into the heart of whomever you desire. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISTAKEN IDENTITY!"
"LOST DOG

"Seances, Tarot Card reading, palms read, your personal Horoscope. Call Hecate for all your spiritual needs. We specialize in Witchcraft!"
"Looking for that perfect bottle of wine? Look no further than Bacchus's Wine Cellar! 3 miles down the Appian way, Rome. Discount for nymphs and demigods. Only two mortals allowed in the store at a time after 3PM"
And in the "where are they now?" spotlight...
"Genuine WWII weapons complete with ammo. Reasonable prices. Contact Mars for pricing and shipping details. No, I cannot tell you when the Iraq war will end...I had nothing to do with it."
...and in case you were wondering..."SWG" stands for "Single White God." I don't know if it's because I was a History major in University with my concentration in Ancient Rome, but I find these to be incredibly funny lol. Wish I could somehow turn this into a Guide entry or something so more people would see it. No one seems to look at my PS...

Yeah I'm a moron

So the night before the anniversary of my Grandfather's death I got pissed. And no, for those of you like me who are from the USA, that does not mean angry...that means drunk. And woah mama was I drunk. It's sad really...I only had 6 beers lol. Well, I shouldn't laugh really. First of all, I was using alcohol as a coping mechanism which is so not like me whatsoever. Not to mention it's not a good idea. Second of all, it was an effing work night. So here's me the next day: hung over and depressed all to hell. Not a good day. It was already going to be a bad day because it was the anniversary but then I made it bloody well worse by throwing a hang over into the mix. So my punnishment was I forced myself to stay at work the entire day (9 hours of hung over amusements). That'll learn me.
In other news...erm...yeah...no other news. I can't wait until May...I take vacation in May and I totally need my vacation right now. I've just been too bloody busy lately.
Me needs 
in mass quantities!

Ugh...entirely too busy lately. And when I'm not busy I'm so tired from being busy all the time that all I do is lay on the couch and stare at the wall. Plus the depression is creeping back up on me...like I knew it would. April 16th will mark a year since my Grandfather died. I just finally got out of the depression/grief cycle over his death in late February and now I'm going back into it because that black anniversary is coming. Ugh...it sucks when depression and other mental illnesses run in your family.
In other news, I've done about 10 loans in the past 2 weeks which is pretty cool. It's nice to get more practice...I sometimes feel like I don't do them enough to really get trained well on them. I've only been doing this since October after all. I work at a slow branch, I keep having to remind myself, so of course training is slow going. I can't help it though...I'm the type of person who wants to stay busy all the time when I'm at work. I hate sitting here doing nothing (though it is currently affording me time to write in my hootoo journal and perhaps to work on my Gaia entry some more). Yeah, I know, I complain when I'm busy and I complain when I'm not busy. I don't know...it's not so much that I'm complaining when I'm busy...it's just I'm tired of being so whipped by the time I get off work you know? I've had a good week and a half of nothing but busy days and it's beginning to really take a toll on me. I actually went to bed at 8:30 last night. How pathetic is that?
Ugh, it's not even close to cig break time. Oh well...time to go back to work I guess. Just had another member needing a loan walk into my office. Yay for being busy!

Having a "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" moment
Posted Mar 30, 2007
Like Arthur Dent after randomly calculating where his cave was on old Earth and discovering it to be the house where Fenchurch lived, I'm feeling Vigorus and Dynamic today. I don't know why. I mean, I had a pretty good day today so that's contributing. I had my BWC hearing today (BWC = Bureau of Workman's Compensation) and got some good news from that. I had a fall at work in January...slipped in some ice in the parking lot and fell on my knee pretty hard. So blah blah doctor's visits blah blah physical therapy blah blah blah. My work contested the workman's comp claim because my doc was an a**hole and in the middle of the course of treatment added a specification to my claim without explaining why. So today was the hearing to see whether my work's appeal would be upheld or not. And I was a little freaked because I can't afford to pay for physical therapy and about a million doctor's visits and I thought if they sided with my work then I'd be on the hook for all those medical bills. But today, at the hearing, I learned that work didn't contest the claim itself, just the extra specification the doc added. And I also learned that the a**hole doc sent them a clarification of the added specification but they didn't get it until 2 days before the hearing or else they would have cancled the hearing and stopped the appeal. And on top of all that, it doesn't matter whether BWC sides with me or with my work because all my treatments were filed under the original claim and didn't have anything to do with the extra specification. So even if they side with work, all my medical bills will be paid thru BWC. So this is a huge weight off my shoulders. And that plus caffeine would probably be what's putting me into this Vigorus and Dynamic mood lol.
So my friend Gail who lives in the UK just told me you don't have Mountain Dew over there. That is truly a saddening thought. I mean, Mountain Dew is only the best soda ever! Except when it makes you hyper...like it's doing to me right now.
