The Catherinette Chronicles

How lame am I?  No, really.  It’s Thursday night, I’m in my pjs, and I’m in tears.  Real life actual tears.  They are streaming down my cheeks and I can’t make them stop.  You see, I’ve experienced a huge loss.  Major!  Someone that has been a part of me for as long as I can [...]

Dear people of the blogosphere,
I need you right now. I’m at home, dying from the plague. Had I been smart, I never would have gone to work yesterday. Yet, I felt obligated to go since I was supposed to do some training. Too bad the market got housed yesterday and my sessions were cancelled. You’d [...]

Happy Cinco de Mayo, bitches!!  My celebrating today will probably include some lawn mowing, a taco, and a margarita.  As should yours.  Thankfully, it will not include being picked up by the INS and being deported as I am an American citizen.  Un-boyfriend thinks he’s funny and frequently threatens to call them and have me [...]

Let me ask you a question: how reasonable is it for a 9 year old to be screaming and yelling while jumping on a trampoline at 9:00 PM on a god damned school night?  Shouldn’t she be inside watching Hannah Montana or something?  For some reason, all of the neighborhood kids end up next door [...]

There are 3 indicators that this is going to be a very bad day:

I sauntered into the office 30 minutes late today because we had been told that all the managers were going to be in an off site meeting today.  Turns out that the “off site” part was cancelled and now it’s just being [...]
