Well, I made it to 9am before I swore yesterday. I think. What I mean is that I know I swore at 9am, but I don't think I swore before then, but I'm not sure! We had a meeting scheduled from 9am-1pm and two of my co-workers were able to get out of it, so on my way to the meeting I popped into one of the co-workers' offices and told her she was a lucky b! It came out so easily, of course! Then I told her, "Look at what you made me do!! I gave up swearing for Lent, so let me rephrase~you lucky girl!" We laughed, I went on to my meeting and suffered for the next 4 hours. It totally sucked!
Of course working on my SADO homework until 3am Tuesday night and not even touching the assignment I had to turn in by 5pm did not help me. I don't know if being uber tired or the fact that I had to draft my statement of facts before class was more distracting. So after the meeting I worked on getting through more of my client's 1,500 file and threw together something that had the title "Statement of Facts" on it. I emailed it at 4:30pm and off to class I went. I feel like I'm turning in stuff that isn't even worth of being printed out, let alone being a completed assignment.
After class while a couple of us remained a conversation started with Prof. Fergie. It revolved around a student who opted to drop the class the day before, but failed to let her know. She then went on to tell us how the thing she can't stand is a lazy student and continued to expound on her feelings about this...of course the entire time she was staring at me...perfect eye contact. Nothing like being subtle, huh?!? She did conclude how a lazy student really has to prove something to her and show her something spectacular to bail themselves out. Does anyone need to guess what I'll be doing next week? Yup, you've got it...doing something spectacular to bail myself out.
I guess I should have known yesterday was going to be a challenge when I was getting dressed and couldn't figure out why I was having such difficulty putting my bra on. Apparently they are not reversible...who knew!?! I do now...

lent... heehee... there are alot of catholics where i work at... so i guess they asssume i am too... after being asked a million times what i was giving up i started making up stupid things "breathing - who needs to breath?" and my favorite: porn... I don't do porn so it should be easy for me to give it up for lent!
ReplyDeletei know i know its serious and please do not be offended!! but when you're the only non lent observing person in the whole freaking company you need a sense of humor to make it through!! and i am happy that laughed at my stupid answers... phew! <3
i curse worse than a sailor having a bad day so there is no way i could give up my potty mouth!
Blaez, haven't you ever heard the joke about us Catholics? Peter was showing a Baptist couple around and as they were walking down the hall they passed a door and the Baptist couple asked what was behind it. Peter replied, "Those are the Catholics. They think they are the only ones here. Shhh..." ;)
ReplyDeleteI would never be offended!! LOL The first Lent my man & I had separated I gave up sex for Lent, the second year I gave up my in-laws for Lent, the third year I gave up sex, again. LOL!!
I have pretty well failed at giving up cursing during Lent; however, I've toned it down a lot and try to think before I let it rip. I figure God will understand, because at least I'm trying! :) Same goes with the working out. It gives me something to strive for! ;)
Thanks for not being offended that I did a couple religious posts! hehe
