and
though this doesn't really rank up to the loss their family and friends are feeling...
but...
My company just let two people go today.
Thank GOD I still have my job.
HOWEVER...
pay cut starting July 1st.
fuck.
What? yes. Silver lining.
I'm not dead.
RIP, Ed, Farrah and Michael.
I'm still employed.
Yeah. OK. It's all good.
Let's hope that this weekend will make up for it all.
Cause, y'all, I'm going to a GREAT REUNION this weekend. I can't wait, I hope it gives me lots to blog about ;). It might just start with, this one time...at band camp...or not...
(this movie cracked ME UP...and my band camps were nothing like theirs...just sayin)
Bet you all didn't know I was a band geek.
What's that?
You did?
Yeah well. HOT BAND GEEK, thankyouverymuch.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
HOT BAND GEEK??.... allllrighty then! lol
ReplyDeleteYes the whole MJ and FF this week was a little too intense too and sorry to hear about the people at work.
Enjoy your weekend too, ma'am.
Ok, I was so a band geek! I was percussion I am going to guess you were clarinet?
ReplyDeleteHope that you have a good time. I was a study geek. I agree that yesterday was a weird day--God was busy.
ReplyDeleteI was a band geek too!!!! Color guard baby!
ReplyDelete:) Actually if you were in the band at our school it meant you were pretty cool...great music dept.
Our stories were more like "this one time, on the band bus..."
oh yeah, what instrument did you "play" ?... something that blows me thinks? : )
ReplyDelete*raises hand* i was a band geek at least for 2 years and 2 instruments...i couldn't play anything if you asked me to with those instruments. oh well..
ReplyDeleteMy kids are band geeks and I'm worse than that----a BAND PARENT!!! Arrgghhh!! Except I'm not 300 lbs, so I'm a HOT band parent. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, is anyone surprised at the 3 celebs who died?? I'm not. Not even MJ--that guy has been killing himself with drugs and surgeries for the last 20 years. Who's surprised?? With all the suffering all 3 have done, I say they are finally at rest.
I'd safely say those of us who are losing our jobs and cannot figure out how to feed the family probably have it worse off.
"Hot band geek." Don't see those words together very often. LMAO @ Pork Star. "Something that blows." HA!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend! Look forward to stories and pictures.
Lin, MJ died of food poisoning. Ate a 5 year old weiner and 7 year old nuts.
Gross, Samsmama, but probably as close to the truth as anything:)
ReplyDeleteToo much loss... craziness... have a good weekend though!
ReplyDeleteIt's been crazy in the world of celebs, yes. Crappy on the paycut, totally crappy but it is wonderful that you still have a job.
ReplyDeletethis one time at band camp....Ha! I loved that. I was a band geek too, though we never had band camp. Oh and I sucked royally at actually playing my instrument. So you know..
Have a great weekend too!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, enough with the loss. It's been a sad week but life goes on. We have a lot to be thankful for, like you said, you still have a job.
Hope you'll enjoy the reunion.
Not really a band geek but I play a mean skin flute. Does that count? And here's to silver linings.
ReplyDeleteHave fun. And sorry about the pay cut. That really sucks.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good weekend too. Just what a good weekend to you is I don't know, but I hope you have one.
ReplyDeleteAs far as dead celebs go, thank God they die often like the rest of us. I love making fun of dead celebs. It's what I was born for.
band geek in middle school. it happens.
ReplyDeletejust grabbed your blog button!
He Hee
ReplyDeleteAnother band geek here. Flute of course!
Thought I would let you know I came and grabbed your button too. (hmm that does sound a bit odd eh?)
Hey! Love your blog! I left you an award on my blog - allstace.blogspot.com. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I missed out on something, no band geek here, lol
ReplyDeleteAnd now, the saddest one to me, the most entertaining man in show business...no, not Michael Jackson...Billy Mays...
ReplyDeleteNobody will ever be able to get me to buy something by screaming at me again...
so...how was it?
ReplyDeletexo
Yeah...I have so had enough of the deaths but I guess it does put some things into perspective!
ReplyDeleteI was a flag girl. But hey, those poles were good for something... but not that. They were used poles. And umm... I don't even know where to go with that one. So, I'll just shut up now.
