annoying peeps, annoy me!
I think I have mentioned this before, but of course now can't seem to find the previous post. Doesn't it annoy you when, people you know happen to be in a (bad) mood nothing to do with you, but decide to take it out on you? Well that's just how I feel today! Someone I know was told information (which to be honest (s)he already knew from a year ago) that upset him/her and now all day today (s)he's been in a rotten mood & acting as if I did something wrong to him/her. Albeit I did have to be the bearer of the news, but don't hurt the messenger, I'm only doing my job and HELLO, you knew this info over a year ago, so why are you so surprised now about it?!?!?!?! UGH, people frustrate me so much sometimes. I'm 90% sure people around me can't tell when I'm in a bad mood cause I can keep what ever the issue is separate from them (unless of course they had something to do with the reason I'm in the mood, then you will more than likely know about it.
Okay, just had to get that out there. In happier news, I got to see photos of my cousin Carolyn's daughter, Eloise Joan, who was born March 11, 2008 at 11.39pm, very exciting!! Okay it's almost 5pm and I've been here since 8am so I'm going to finish off my
Chamomile-Honey-Vanilla tea & head home :)

busy semi crappy week
yeah so i need to vent about my week . . . as if having my period with horrible cramps wasn't enough this week i also found out that my mum's b'day present didn't arrive b/c my credit card was denied (probably frozen but as I can't call 800 numbers from the UK I can't find out) then I finally get the non-800 number & my phone card dies - so mum had to pay for it herself . . . felt like a schmuck. then tried to get my transcripts sent to PeaceCorps - asked mom to mail a check & fill out the form with my dates of attendance etc then she called today to tell me they can't do it without
me signing it or me faxing it in, so now tomorrow i have to pay £2.50 to fax it over, but can't use my credit card since it's FLIPPIN frozen or whatever it's deal is my mum has to remail the check - the PC wanted all this info within 4 weeks (that's Friday) so obviously that's not happening & I know they're flexible, I just wanted to have it all done on time b/c without it they can't set up my appt for an interview & I WANT to do that whilst I'm home since i doubt I'll be home again this year. then in case all that wasn't enough stress, i also for no good reason (aside from maybe cramps) couldn't sleep one night & the more I tried to sleep & thought about how I had to give 120 in infections the following day in the cat 3 the less I could sleep, so I was still up at 4.45am, that's right I got 2 hours if that of sleep & then if you don't think I've had a tough day I leave work semi early to come home & get my shower fixed but NOOOOOOOOOOO the lady calls to say the van broke down & they'll be coming tomorrow - UGH!!!!!!!!! oh yeah did I mention my home phone doesn't work & my cable still hasn't been fixed & my internet is running at molasses speed? oh yeah other thing (not as important but whatever) i had the chance to go to Prague this weekend for £100 return including hotel - GREAT deal but I had to find someone to go with me to get that price & all my friends here suck and didn't want to go, so I got my hopes up & now can't go. oh I remember one more bad thing - i told you about our liquid nitrogen disaster right? well we're having "the meeting" with my boss about it on monday for sure, not looking forward to that - i did however manage to grow up 3 lines of cells (RAW, J774 and KY-1, I know they're all easy to grow but I wasn't expecting them to survive the indefinite period at room temp in DMSO) and then I think it didn't help that everyone around me at work the other day was talking about how great their husband or boyfriends are & I was feeling rather left out of the conversation & this new girl said so Sara you don't have a boyfriend, why not? as if I've chosen to be single for the rest of my life like a loser
UPDATE:- the plumber finally showed up today (at 7.30pm - appt was for half 5! and was able to do a temp fix, which means he has to come back - WTF!?!?!?
- mailed off my peacecorps paperwork from this end today & i suspect they should have received mum's check by now, so that's moving along at a snails pace instead of molasses :)
Okay feeling much much better now - thanks for listening - i'm sure some of you are glad my phone card is broken - LOL - I can't wait to be home in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!

thanks to miss mccann for asking . . .
So Dr. Crazy is a who is driving me nuts today (and for awhile now). She's super competitive, HATES Dr. Best. She is just freakin (would use a curse word but don't want to upset anyone with my use of 4 letter words) crazy!! I can't even begin to describe it, there is only one person who can put up with her & that's her flatmate. She's been working here 3 years & blames Dr Best's poor management style on the reason she doesn't have any papers written. She was working in a lab one day & didn't even notice that the hood wasn't on (not sure how that happens, but not the point) so she'd been making stocks of bugs with out any airflow so there was HUGE potential for her to be infected & it was only b/c of Dr. Elegant coming over to ask her a question & noticing the hood was off that they got outta the lab - she was ban from the cat 3 for 6 months after that. She's just a fruit . . . what can I say? She's always saying how she's the professional in the lab, but then minutes later she bursts into tears over just about anything. I don't like to be negative as she is actually seeing a therapist, but for goodness sakes get ahold of yourself woman!! We all have shit going on in our lives & we come to work just like you do. I so badly wanna say, "shut the F up Dr Crazy, not like you've got a terminal illness or homeless or starving to death" but in reality I KNOW it would only shut her up for a few seconds. Everything is about her annoys me today, nothing is every her fault . . . okay I have to stop as I could go on & on & on for hours, days, weeks probably, and to be honest you don't really wanna hear about it - she's just a freakin bint/cow/annoying bugger!
