All Things Woompty

Living up to the "random" in my blog's name

First topic:
So it turns out my old boss? TOTALLY losing his shit. Found out today that he is pretty much yelling at everyone all the time, leaving his new admin in tears and causing his Freckles replacement to hang up on him. The projects are all a mess and it's basically a miserable working situation for people under him right now from what I heard today through the grapevine. Am I glad that I left that job? More than ever. I was thinking about it tonight, and Old Boss used to make me so mad on occasion that I would cry angry tears (I hate my angry tears, because it makes people think I'm sad or my feelings are hurt when really I am just PISSED.), but I never get really mad at New Boss. He frustrates me sometimes, irritates me other times, but we have a good synergy (my God I hate that word, someone smack me for using it) and we're a good team. The only time I want to cry is when I am so very, very tired from all the stuff I have to do now. So yay for me getting out JUST IN TIME!

Second topic:
It never stops tripping me out to see familiar places and bulidings on TV. The other night, the Pt. Loma lighthouse was on Pt. Pleasant (SHUT UP, you know I watch The OC and Pt. Pleasant comes on afterwards and I am too lazy to change the channel most of the time) because it turns out, they tape a show about a New England seaside town in San Diego. Go figure. I was obnoxiously excited about that fact, but not nearly as excited as I was when I saw that my beloved Doheny Library in the background of a Toyota commercial. I love that old library, with its giant marble steps that are worn in the middle. I wish I could go back to hanging out in the quiet of the reference library. I miss college. College was so simple.

Third topic:
How much do I hate, hate, hate those stupid ass KFC commercials with the stupidest families EVER? I hate them with with the hate of a thousand suns, that's how much. If I was the mother in ANY of those commercials, I would seriously kick some ass.

Fourth topic:
One of my employees, a very nice and kind and funny employee who I get along with very well despite the fact that he is located across the country so I rarely see him, has begun a strange habit of calling me by terms of endearment when we speak. Now, he's not hitting on me...he's happily married with an adorable son, and I would totally consider him a friend. But what's funny is that now when I call him on his cell phone, he always answers by saying something like "Hi, sweetheart" (because duh, I'm totally on his speed dial so his caller ID tells him it's me). Now, I don't mind him saying this because it's kind of funny and we are totally goofy with each other, but it did strike me as kind of make me think the last time it happened. Like, should this weird me out? Because it doesn't.

Fifth topic:
I had a really weird dream last night. Somehow, I ended up with a crazy stalker who like...took up residence in my apartment and I could not get rid of her. The cops wouldn't come and kick her out because she wasn't violent and hadn't done anything to physically harm me but she was totally tearing my home apart, even going so far as to rip a ktichen cabinet off the wall. And I could NOT GET RID OF HER. I kept calling the damn police and they kept saying they couldn't do anything unless she hit me so I started goading her, trying to get her to attack me but she wouldn't because she like...worshipped me or something. It was freakin' bizarre and I woke up exhausted.

Sixth topic, which is confidential to B. Mary:
OH MY GOD I got my new product shipment for February and YOU WILL LOVE THE NEW TOOL!!! Heh.
