Ready to go home....

Day 3 of nothing to do is winding down, slowly. And when I say nothing to do I truly mean NOTHING to do. I have sat here all week and surfed the internet. My eyes are burning!! I find myself just walking around the building-just to get some sort of circulation going in my legs.

We had a meeting yesterday with a few "big wig" doctors thanking us for all of our hardwork. Pshht! Only if they knew most of spend our days on www.freetetris.org

I have a Co-worker, I call her the "blood queen" because she enrolls in more clinicial trials than anyone I know. She misses, at the least, one day of work each week because she stays the night at some Pharmaceutical Companies office-allowing the doctor take blood from her every so many hours. You would think all the studies she is in she would at least have a partially decent wardrobe. ::GAG:: She is the most annoying person in the office. She should have a plaque on the outside of her cube that says: "I am an idiot."

So I have spent all week looking and applying for jobs in Charleston, South Carolina. I am looking to relocate this summer. And I am trying to get ahead of the game. This weekend I am headed down for a wedding at the Isle of Palms, with my boyfriend. Should be lots of fun!

Well apparently Ms. Blood Queen decides she has work for us-so I am gonig to at least get some work done.

Take it easy, until tomorrow.

So I am sitting at work right now counting down the minutes until it is time to go home. I think the clock has stopped...

So as I am sitting surfing the internet, I keep coming across some more Anna Nicole hoop-la. Personally, I am so tired of hearing about it. It's getting old. They need to bury the damn woman and tell everyone who the damn baby's daddy is! I think her mother is trying to get her 15 minutes of fame and Stern is trying to get the money. He's such a slime ball. I think the only normal person in this whole thing is Larry Birkhead. I hope he really is this baby's father. He seems to be the one who really cares about her welfare. Enough about that.

I don't know how many of you like American Idol but I am excited to see the show tonight. There are some really good female singers this season, so I am very excited to see who will be the next idol. Speaking of American Idol, so this whole mess with semi-finalist Antonella Barba is crazy. Seems like everytime someone gets one minute of fame, some jealous person has to come in and try to ruin it for the person. I know I don't care about any photos that she's in or not in. She's not Britney Spears so I really don't care to read about what she supposedly did or didn't do. Let's just worry about the competition and talent. Thanks!

So my only highlight at work today was the fact that I got a new computer with dual monitors. I'm all about it because it gave me more room to look up jobs to apply for. Mwahahahahahaha!! (evil laugh) I really am so over this place. 20 minutes left....

Office Talk

This is what I want to know...

Since when was it appropriate to talk about your sexual escapades and nasty habits in the office?!?!? Someone PLEASE tell me.

So I have this girl in my office, Miss Davis (this is my nickname for her) and she is probably one of the nastiest chicks I know. First of all, I've never liked her. She has this aura about her that just makes you want to vomit and pull your hair out at the same time. She couldn't be more annoying. When we first started working together, she'd ask like a zillion questions, that sometimes I don't have an answer to. Then an hour later, she'd ask you the same question. It took all I had not to scream at her then. She also does this thing with her hair. Her hair is long and curly and for some reason she always does this head flick with her hair. Not just a hair flick like you're trying to be flirty and cute, but a head flick where her whole damn head goes with her hair. And she does this flick like every 30.5 seconds! So annoying!

(p.s. and she has one of the ugliest faces I've ever seen...yes it's mean I know but I can't help it)

So back to the topic at hand. So over the past month or so, Miss Davis has broken up with her fiance of 2 years, slept with 4 different guys, got a UTI & yeast infection (I know I know...TMI TMI, but she told the entire office.) After her breakup, she went on a nasty skank spree. She met some 30-something with a 5 year old in the Dominican Republic (btw, which was her family vaca) and ended up sleeping with him. He originally lived in St. Louis, so a few weeks after her return, she made a trip there. She ended up not liking him anymore, and broke it off.

She then met some dude through Facebook on accident. He confused her with someone else but she then ended up stalking him and asking him to befriend her. So he did. They ended up meeting in person for drinks and went home with him that night. She then met another guy, who happened to be a drug dealer. He would only communicate her after 12 a.m. Not before. (obviously, he is only wanting her for one thing but she is too dumb to know that.) He ends up using her and making her buy groceries for his house so she can eat. He ended up breaking it off with her by just ignoring her. She would text message him all day at work and kept asking him "why are you ignoring me?" "I'm done." "Please talk to me." Psycho I know.

Her best friend then hooked her up with her boyfriend's brother. Miss Davis has this guy wrapped around her finger. How you ask?? I do not know myself. So they're "dating" now. Well one day last week, she came into work and pretty loudly spoke about how her neighbors below and beside her complained that she was too loud during sex. YUCK. First of all, NO ONE in this office wants to know that and second, what made her think that that subject was appropriate conversation. I just looked at her with disgust. Her now "boyfriend" is scared because she might be going off to med school and he told her he was worried about her leaving because he knows how much she craves sex. YUCK. (FYI, they've only been dating like 3 weeks now.)

I'm just in amazement on how nasty and open she is about it while at work. Maybe I am just ol' fashion but it's just plain disgusting.

I'm out.

Heyyy bloggers!

Sooooo Jessica and I have decided to do this because we experience some of the funniest, craziest, weirdiest stuff everyday. We'll blog about work, relationships, celebrities, etc. So to get started...

So I graduated from college a few months ago and I thought I landed the "dream" job when I started working for Duke. (Yes, the school known for the so-called lacroose rape..) Don't get me wrong...Duke is a good place as a whole to work for...BUT (yes, folks, there is a but) the department I work for SUCKS! First of all, I got tricked into the position. I was a public relations major and I definitely wanted to go into my field of work post graduation. The department was new and just starting out. The job description said I would be doing PR work, managing, as well as other "fun and exciting" things. I also told Jessica about the position, since they were looking for 10 coordinators. We both were hired and rented an apartment together all in the same day! We were so excited to start our new "grown-up" lives!

Little did we know, we would NEVER be doing any PR work. We ended up stuck doing bitch work that a person with just a high school dipolma could do. The only thing I am learning at this job is office politics and employee relations. Everyone in my department are post college, so of course our boss knows we'll do anything for our paychecks. The only good thing about working at this department is....well, can't really think of anything.

So like any new department, it changed and I was transferred to another department related to what I was working on. Pretty much ALL DAY I sit in front of a computer and assign medical bills to the patient's insurance or to the clinical trial they are enrolled in. BORING! I count down the minutes til it's time to leave. Even worse, sometimes we run out of work and I have nothing to do. Some people would say "why are you complaining? I'd rather be doing nothing." Well I thought so too, at the beginning, but after a while there is only so much you can look up on the internet. I check my personal email like 20 times a day, check myspace about 10 times, check facebook 5 times, and check my email again. It truly blows!

So it's been 8 months since I got the job and I am already looking for something else. I've tried to look for real PR jobs within Duke, but the HR website is just like a HUGE black hole. Your resume disappears and never comes back. So I am now looking outside of Duke. I need to get my PR experience now, so that I can accomplish my dream of moving to the Big Apple and being a big timer. We shall see what happens....

Nice to meet ya!

Pshht! Well here I am SUPER excited about this blog! I guess I would be considered a stranger to the blogging world. But do not hold your breath, I am a fast learner just wait! I only hope I can be that inner voice of witty sarcasm that we all have but there is only a few that have the guts to spit it out...."dododo you have it? GUTS!" HaHa such an old school show!



So who am I? I guess you will learn lil things here and there. I graduated from UNCP in May 2006 and landed a job with Duke University and was well on my way to the beginning stages of my career, right? EHHHHH wrong! I have finally adjusted to life beyond college where sweatpants and a hoodie were acceptable fashion paws for class. The days when your only worries were when you were going to find the time to manage partying and studying. Yeahh those days are OVER! No one gave me that "Welcome to the real world" speech.

So I hate the job! And have been trying to get out since the first month I started. Dukes recruiters could probably recite my resume front to back. BLAH! See Tashas post for more information on how we got tricked into this job! Needless to say I spend 8 straight hours in front of a computer screen each day. Hence the need for a blog. There is only so much stalking you can do on Myspace and Facebook. Homegirl needs a hobby!

Lets get right into it...with Oscar Fashion.....Yay!

*Kirsten Dunst-WTF is she wearing? Nothing about this dress is working for her, it looks like she was attached by a bird and she definitely LOST!

*Leonardo Decaprio-Maybe the slicked back hair is his "trademark" but he continues to look like Danny Zuko from Grease.

*Jennifer Hudson-WOAH is she going to fly away with that "jacket." ::GAG::


*The Likes- Or should I say the loves. Cameron Diaz, Celine Dion and Reese Witherspoon look FABULOUS!


This is all for now.
