inauguration highlights:

- after laura bush is announced she comes out, sees the crowd, and as though she's surprised there's a billion people there says, 'heyyyy everybody!' in a rather awkward tone. i laughed my ass off.

- WHAT THE FUCK was up with all the flamboyant scarves on the men?? george senior wins "most inappropriately bright scarf" for his grape nightmare. he should have switched with barbara....who, by the way, is looking entirely too spry when next to his surprising feebleness. (does anyone remember him banging his head on the way out the door while skydiving on his birthday only a few years ago?)

- do the ex-presidents get to choose their own intro-music when they're announced at an inauguration? because they each had something different. i remember jimmy carter's sounding really state-fair-band americana. then george senior's came up next and sounded very marshal and grim in comparison. i can't remember the others, but i'm interested to know if they choose their own. i just read that this was the first inauguration where all living ex-presidents and ex-vice presidents attended, so this may never have been an issue before.

- i think cheney was in a wheelchair to keep him well below the bullet-proof glass line. and that hat he had on, SINISTER. a fucking gangster fedora.

- speaking of hats. aretha, gatdam!

- biden is sworn in, does a move a few moments later like he's the fonz. hahahaha, nice one, joe.

- president obama's inaugural address made me cry. and finally, FINALLY....i feel proud to be an american again.



in other news.....

my bosses called me in to discuss my promotion today. they've divided the counties up and created another secretary position. the girl above me moves into that new position, and i take over her spot. we hire a new file clerk to take mine. tomorrow we discuss how we're going to redistribute the work because the balance is tipped heavily onto the file clerk at this point. if i weren't awesome that job would be impossible. it will be impossible for the likely average girl who will replace me. i said so to my bosses and asked if we could re-work the position i'm moving into. i've been answering the phones instead of letting the machines get them, and no one else there wants to do it. our office manager also hates that she sits up front and has to deal with all the people coming in and out. so she is going to take the office off to the side of the one she's in, move me up to her spot (BIG WINDOWS!) and i'll also be a receptionist. give me the mail, let me keep the phones, and i'll also keep sending summonses because it's a stuck-at-your-desk job. i was offered a little more than they are paying the woman i'm replacing, which makes me VERY happy. it's still not much, but $1/hr more is better than $0.50/hr. it'll put an extra $100 in my new savings account every month. totally kick ass.

the day after i call out 'sick' to watch tv, i get a better raise than i expected. that makes me want to jump up and kick, like i'm really kicking ass. because i totally, totally am.

i re-opened my okcupid profile and two days later, much to my surprise, a boy i had a crush on in middle school views it. he looks awesome. still cute, but no more baby-face. grew into a man. i won't send him a message. my deal with myself for filling the profile out again was no aggressive tactics. i'm not a cougar in real-life, i don't want to get laid, and what i wrote is pretty clear and honest. if anyone is looking for the same things i am and they think i'm cute, they'll send me a message. they always do. i do have good luck with that site. never met anyone i didn't really like.

i am very unfortunately horny. unfortunate because it may be a while again before i get any.

on nights like this, when it's freezing and you just wish for someone comfortable and warm to snuggle with, nothing sounds cozier than monogamy. one more reason to gently move in that direction.web stats
