and another thing....
GRRRR. I cannot get on the healthy eating and working out train this week!! I have been craving chocolate all day and I think I'm gonna cave after work and get some instead of going to the gym. lol, good idea, huh? Ugh, I know that I'm going to be mad at myself, actually I might not, because I'm getting Cadburry Mini Eggs and those are like a gift from heaven and only around during Easter time. Yes, I have already planned on what I am getting. I have been trying to lose weight for probably a month now, and nothing. I know it's because I haven't committed to it full-out yet, only little spurts. My wedding dress doesn't fit and I am wearing a swimsuit on the honeymoon so I'd better get my rear in gear, literally. And I will, I will. ...tomorrow....
Clearly, I am bored at work today. Hence the second post. And, btw, I believe that is adding to my lack of motivation to go to the gym. When I just sit here all day, I would rather just go home, but when I'm busy all day, I can't wait to go to the gym.
This afternoon I make some very much needed trips to the tag agency and to the courthouse. The courthouse was... interesting. I do believe that I would be quite depressed if I had to go there everyday. I went there to send in my passport application. (only about 4 months behind my target date, but whatever) I thought that it was on the 3rd floor. I couldn't find it so I asked a lady in the treasury department, and she acted like I asked her where the Wizengamot was. (harry potter reference) She just stared at me. Here's the rough convo:
Her: You need to do what with your passport?
Me: I need to turn in my application, I was told there was an office for that in the courthouse
Her: ...silence and stares at me with large eyes... I have never had anyone ask me that. What kind of passport is it for?
Me: (confused) It's just a regular passport
Her: ...silence and large eye staring... I don't think you can do that here, I have never heard of that before ...large eye staring again....
Me: (wondering if, by saying "that", she meant passport) Okay ....turning to leave...
Her: What account is it for? ...large staring eyes...
Me: Huh? It's just a regular passport, nevermind, you obviously have no idea.
And I turned around and left. Went back to the lobby and found that it was on the 2nd floor. Gosh, I can see why she was so confused, the passport office is one whole floor below hers! Idiot. I contemplated going back up to let her know in case anyone else got lost, which apparently never happens there.
I get to leave in 30 minutes. Yay. I would like to introduce the "get your work done and leave whenever you're finished" idea to the corporate world. I think it's a good idea. Go to work, get things done, leave.

HAHAHAHA! I agree the courthouse is a depressing, weird place. And the people there are also weird! That sucks about your passport!!! When I went to get mine, the lady was like "oh, yeah.. we dont take (whatever form of payment I was attempting to make)." I wanted to hit her in the face. She also kept asking me when my honeymoon was... I was with my boyfriend and he was NOT my fiance. It was weird all around.
hello, denton!!! wow, i remember getting a passport at the t-town courthouse when i was 17... damn that was ten years ago, yeah, cuz the damn thing just expired. anyway, i went through a similar rigamarole. i thought all courthouses were dark and depressing until i filmed something at the courthouse here in l.a. last spring and was surprised to find it bright and actually quite beautiful. who'da thunk? but then, i'm just disinclined to hate the tulsa courthouse. i remember filing for my marriage license: the woman told me what i needed to do to change my name and i was like, "oh, thanks, but i'm not going to change my name." she looked at me like i was crazy and was just plain RUDE from then on out. close-minded, what what? ;) anyway, glad to see you blogging!!!
