who came up with 8 to 5?


What I want to know is what idiot decided that we should work 5 days a week and get only 2 days break? Probably the same idiot who came up with the idea that we should work 8 to 5. Now I realize that work makes the world go round and stock markets and the economy and healthcare and blah blah blah, but I want to know what it would hurt anybody to take just one more day off a week, I'd settle for 1 day of every other week. Basically this is my life right now: I wait around for doctor's all day, come home, watch Law and Order, of course, and go to bed. I am like a merry go round for 5 days a week doing the same thing. Or a hamster on one of those wheels, that sounds more like it. In the summer we non-teachers have to suffer through the knowledge that our teacher friends (who I LOVE very much) are not working, which is pretty much agony. So I am very happy that they are going back to work very soon (sorry Kat and JoJo). For all you younsters out there who have not yet entered into the world of benefits, paychecks, and bills, take a hint from my husband: get a sugar mama or daddy and stay outside all day, even in the heat it sure as hell beats 8 to 5.
Ive finally figured out the very worst thing about being away from Emmett. When he is gone I beg time to go by quickly, I want to wake up and have 3 weeks gone so he will be back with me. But when I think about life with him, I don't want to rush ANYTHING, I want to have every moment and every day just go on forever because one more day gone is one less day I get to be with him. Does that make sense?
For the last item, Rock Band rules and so does me turning 27 because that means my wonderful husband is getting it for me!!!!! I dominate the microphone and my dream is to beat Frank on the guitar. Im out for you Mullins.

Aw, I totally understand the wanting time to fly when you're apart and then wanting time to stand still thing... I'm the same exact way, for sure.

I can't wait to play Rock Band :) It's gonna be aaaaaaaawesome...
