A list. Because I like lists.
1. I think my job is a little more secure now. I have now been assigned to a third attorney. That means I now support two partners and one associate and between supporting three attorneys and working at the paint studio approximately 30 hours per week, my blogging time has now been decreased to even less time than I previously had. Also, nothing very interesting has been going on in my life to blog about anyway so I don't know why you or I would even care that I have no time to write anything.
2. We were in the middle of a severe drought here in Atlanta last year. Our building decided to put small signs by the sinks in all of our restrooms reminding us to conserve water. Last week, we received an email from the building management that because of the swine flu they are removing those signs so that people don't feel intimidated into not washing their hands. Uhm, I think those of us who are clean and wash our hands after going to the restroom never stopped doing so because of those stupid little signs asking us to conserve water. Is that what those meant? That the building would prefer we all just go and spread our bathroom germs to all of our co-workers and totally forgo washing because of the drought? Why not ask us to not flush every single time someone goes to the bathroom and only flush every third or fourth person while you're at it? That would conserve a lot of water. Oh, that's right. Because our toilets automatically flush and almost suck you down before you can step away from the seat.
3. I have no clue what to get my mom or my sister-in-law for Mother's Day. Any suggestions would be welcomed. I thought about getting my mom a subscription to match.com so that she would perhaps admit she doesn't need it since she's already dating two men. But her denial probably runs much too deep for that.
4. I met a friend of mine for dinner last night. She wanted Italian which was totally okay with me. I showed some self-control and only ate half of my pasta. The other half is still sitting in my refrigerator because I walked out this morning without it and now the salad bar is going to be highly disappointing to me for lunch.
5. The owner of the studio is going to be at the studio while I'm teaching a class tonight. I think it's going to make me nervous because she's never observed me teaching before. I will probably fall of the stage or sneeze straight into the microphone and scare people or do something equally stupid simply because she'll be there to see me do it.
6. I spent almost $500 on new brakes for my car last week. It almost made me cry because a couple of weeks before that, I spent almost $1,000 paying my taxes. Being an adult really sucks sometimes.
7. Sometimes I hate that one of my bosses constantly wanders up and down the hall talking on his phone with his blue tooth. I constantly answer questions I hear him ask only to quickly realize he's talking to his wife or one of his children and doesn't care what I think. You would think I would have learned this after two years of working for him, but when I sometimes think he's talking on his blue tooth and don't answer him, he then follows me to my office and repeats his question and then I realize he was actually talking to me.
8. I am currently counting down the hours until May 17. I have just booked myself a TWO HOUR massage. I have a membership at a therapeutic massage place in my neighborhood and get an hour massage per month for $49. I'm approximately 3 or 4 months behind on my massages (see number 1 above: I have no free time) so they told me I can combine two of them at once to use some of them. My poor massage therapist went snow boarding last month and broke her leg and is now giving massages while on crutches. They told me she may need to take a 10 minute break in the middle of my two hours and I told them I am fully okay with that. I've never received a massage from someone on crutches so this should be interesting. I told them I could wait until she's feeling more herself but they said she's determined to not let her crutches interfere with her massaging abilities.
9. If you're still reading this, it's your own fault. Go back and read number one. I clearly stated nothing interesting has been going on in my life lately. And if that didn't give it away, the title of this post should have.

I'm glad your job situation is a little more secure. As for your drought, in Maryland, we are now on our eighth straight rainy day.
I'll send you some rain from St. Louis. We've had more than our share lately.
I hate bluetooth, because not only is it annoying to the people around the one using the device, its annoying to the person on the other end of the line who is constantly saying "what" because the the static and quietness.
Encouraging people to stop using water "in the bathroom" is just wrong.
It is good that you feel more secure at your job.
Bluetooth people really bother me. I never know who they are talking to, and then they get mad when you don't answer them because, like you said, you thought they were talking on the phone.
As for nothing happening in your life, it's a different type of nothing from my nothing so it's interesting. Keep writing.
I am so jealous of your massage. Enjoy it!
Job security is a good thing. Even if the knucklehead you work for walks around with a bluetooth. He seems like the type of person who wears it at home. I'm sure his wife often thinks he's talking to her when he's probably just leaving a message to you on voicemail.
