Fall Back, Spring Forward

This is the 17th year I am going through this...and i have a vague memory of the first year I went through it...it was such a new concept, changing clocks and watches, and sleeping in one more hour.

Another year, and it's dark at 5p.m. and you end up working at your desk, staring at darkness outside the window. And I want to achieve so much before the next "Spring Forward" hits us... in April 2007. I don't know what exactly I need to do to get there, but I need to be better off, happier, more confident and more together by April 2007. After all, my private loans can no longer go into forbearance by April 2007...I have used all of allowed ones. So there...

Panty Hose

They bug me. The other day, I tried five pair at 7:45 a.m. before finding a good pair, that was not torn...then I put on my skirt suit, left the house, got into my car, and decided to re-apply my nail polish. As I did so, a drop of my brown nail polished fell on my skirt suit and made a mess...so then I had to go back upstairs and change into pant suits.

What a waste of panty hose. Five of them...yet, I need them, I need to buy more, try to get expensive ones that don't tear the moment u put them on...one of my biggest fears is one day, I walk into the courtroom with a ripped panty hose and stand in front of the judge...while the judge won't see it most likely, the attorneys behind me will. And they will wake up from their sleep. U do need some entertainment while u wait for your turn and hear everyone else's BS...

One of my other nightmares is what if one day my shoe heel breaks while walking to the courtroom...this is why I keep telling myself to always have extra shoes and extra panty hose in the car...ready for emergencies...But then, that's such a "mom thing" to do. And that's another thing on the "to do list"...among many others.

Pant suits with flat shoes will solve the issue. But then...that's just boring and not very feminine..?

This issue has now become too complicated...

The awkward silence & the mindless chatter...

The elevator is such an interesting place...how thankful I am that on the days I am not in the mood for the "awkward silence & the mindless chatter", I can take the elevator in the back which is for delivery persons only, and you are not supposed to ride on...but I just can't take it sometimes...how people pretend that they are happy to come to work...I can't take it when I see fat women getting on the elevator b/c I am so scared that would be me in 5 years, stuck in an office building somewhere, in a chair all day long...or I can't take it when people wear aweful clothing to work...and of course those bastards on the 2nd floor, who refuse to take the stairs down and when I am ready to jump out, the elevator still makes a stop for them.

Thank God for the elevator in the back.
