I Can't Make This Stuff Up....

Yesterday at the gas station......

Drunk Girl: Hey! Do you have an awesome Valentine like I do?
Me: Yes! Mine is pretty awesome!
Her: Did he get you something?
Me: No.
Her: What! He doesn't sound awesome at all!!
Me: Trust me, he is.
Her: Well he better make up for his empty hands!
Me: He has.
Her: Oh really?!? How?
Me: He's taking me on a trip.
Her: Where to? The ocean (Ocean City)?
Me: No. South Africa.
Her: OMG! How did you manage that?
Me: I'm fabulous!
Her: He (points to the guy walking towards us) never takes me anywhere.
Me: Well maybe you aren't fabulous.
Her: Oh I'm fabulous alright!
Me: Oookkaaayyy
Her: (screaming) Honey! Am I fabulous?
Him: Not really, but you are a really good lay.
Her: Stunned.
Me: Hysterically laughing
Her: Extremely pissed
Him: Completely oblivious

I'm an idiot!

Can I tell you why?  Because I forgot to submit my application and schedule my FSWE.  How in the world did I do that? 

Yes, my name is Victoria, and I'm an idiot. 

Now I have to wait until June. This could be a good thing.  In the meantime, I'm going to get my MS Cert squared away before the OMS announcement comes out. 

Other than that, nothing much is happening in Baltimore. It's warm, not cold and it doesn't look like I'm going to get any sort of snow day to get off work.  I just need a nice nor'easter that will force Governor O'Malley to close government offices.  5ft of snow will do, please and thank you.   Everyone at work says why don't you take a day. Duh! I can't take a day because I need 25 days of leave and that doesn't include weekends.  Originally, it was supposed to be 3 weeks but it dawned on me that I could just say an extra couple of weeks in London after we get back from Africa and then J and I could do stuff together.  So, we're going to take the Eurostar to Paris for a couple of days. I've been before but I want to go minus the big bus and the group I was traveling with. Then we're going to take a road trip up to Edinburgh for a couple of days, too. I've never been and I've always wanted to go.  Ahh, I'm so excited!  

All of this means that for the next 10 months, I have to come to work every. single. day.

Dear Lord, I need a snow day.
