Cory left his guitar up here, and I'm teaching myself how to play it. So when he gets back to work from doing laundry, I'll play for him and it'll suck, but he'll love me.

Donnita told me that yesterday she was talking to Lisa about how bad Nan treats me (I didn't know anything about it until today) and the girls in the cubes near the mailroom went to Nan the next morning (today) and told her that Donnita said she was going to try to "take over the mailroom" or try to take her job or something. So Nan was really mad, and after Donnita tried to get it out of her for a long time she finally said something. Our office is full of barbed tongues. You can't be too careful about who you talk to. I'm so glad I can come home to people like Cory... when he's in Portland, that is.

My sister Haley posted! Go comment in her journal so maybe she'll start writing more!

Why is my sister the way she is? I called her and asked if she'd come over tonight. She said she wanted to come over this weekend. I'm going to Cory's this weekend. She tried to lay a guilt trip on me, asking why I'd rather hang out with my boyfriend than my sister. (Well hmm, I wonder...) But even though she has nothing to do tonight, she doesn't want to come over, even after I offered to take the stupid MAX all the way over the river (half an hour trip at least) to pick her up, pay her MAX fare, and stay up late even though I have to be up at quarter to seven in the morning. She had no reason, she just didn't feel like it. Whatever. I'm tired of her doing things like that.

I'm also tired of Nan. I try to be nice to her... last Friday I said "Merry Christmas!" as she was leaving and she ignored me. On Wednesday morning, I said "Good morning!" and she ignored me. I've had to work on the mailroom computer for a day and a half, updating phone lists, and the receptionists told me that she went down and complained to them about me piddling around on the computer while she was run off her feet. (Phyllis asked her why she didn't ask me to help [I always offer to help and she says no] and she said "it's a one person job." She also told Nan that I was updating lists for the receptionists.) Then a little later, one of my supervisors walked by and told me that she had stuff to do for me if I'd go up and see her. I wonder if Nan told her that I wasn't doing anything. I had even decided yesterday that I wasn't going to say anything to her or try to tell a supervisor because I didn't want a big row. But if she's trying to give me a bad reputation, I can't let that happen!

I'm tired of coming home at night and being in a bad mood. It doesn't help when the person I work with and the person I talk to on the phone are both stupid and annoying....

Cory, where are you? I emailed you... I figured you'd be at work... you aren't going to call me, you said, but I haven't been able to talk to you much today at all...

I don't know why I suddenly remembered this, but...
A few years ago, Dad and my sister Haley and I went to
Mt. St. Helens to look around. We got to a viewpoint
that looked over a huge ravine and showed flattened
trees and other devastation from the eruption about
fifteen or so years earlier, in 1980. As we got out of the
car and walked to the point, Haley looked around her
and gasped, "What DID this?!" Duh, Haley.

Another funny story... yesterday Mike and I were at his
parents' house, and he went downstairs to get lotion
because he said his face felt dry. He brought the bottle
upstairs and slathered it on his hands and face and up
his arms. He always puts way too much on, so I went to
him so I could get the excess and put it on my hands,
and I commented how it smelled like shampoo. We both
looked at the bottle that he had brought up, and it said,
very plainly, HEAD AND SHOULDERS.
