And then...

I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I completed my last final on Friday. By Monday evening I was sick. By this afternoon I found myself wishing I didn't have sinuses, a throat, or a head for that matter. Holy crap, does this suck.

I'm a big proponet of all things homeopathic and natural. But I'm also a big believer in OTC medicines to relieve the symptoms.So coupled with 18 million glasses of vitamin C, lysine and Zinc, I'm taking Alk*a Seltzer and S*udafed. Here's hoping I get better before my road trip with the boyfriend. We're headed to his sister's house for the holidays. The last time I spent a holiday with out my parents or other family members present was with the previous inlaws. In which I and my ex-mother-in-law received matching outfits. I kid you not.

I've mentioned the boyfriend's family before. They are nothing short of perfect. When I exclaimed my recluctancy to spend Christmas with his family, he mentioned "well one of my uncles has been divorced like 3 or 4 times. It'll be fine" I thought and retorted back "great, so I'll be compared to and thought of like the crazy uncle" Perfect!

In other news -

I've spent the day hiding in my office. Granted I've cleared a whole heck a lot off my piles-of-work, but honestly between you and me internet - I'm avoiding her. She's upset that she has more vacation time than she originally thought. And demands to know why. (Seriously!) First it was that she didn't have any, then surprise you actually have this much more. Now she's demanding to know why she doesn't have even more. Hint #1 - you've taken shitloads of time off. Hint #2 - I really, really, really dislike you and your requests to know WHY and RIGHT NOW automatically go to the bottom of my to-do pile.

Our 2nd work Christmas gathering is Thursday. Guess who I have to buy for? Go on, guess. Hint #1 - Murphy and Karma have totally over stayed their welcome.

The first company Christmas party consisted of one of my bosses getting rip roaring drunk and grabbing my boyfriend's butt. Then telling us that if I drank more than 2 drinks, the boyfriend was definitely getting some tonight. (b/c in his words "CPA's are easy drunks) We chatted long enough that he ended up telling us that if I chose not to stay on with them after graduation, he was pretty sure (word from his inside source) that a large accounting firm would hire me.

The oddest part of the evening came when she came up to me and declared "give me back my movies bitch" Turns out she had bought her exchange gift for herself. But was pissed when it got "stolen" by another contestant.
