This isn't A-Hell-phia. My teammates in RIG threw an actual party for me today, my last day. They got permission from our supervisor to have everyone off the phones between 2 and 2:30, and got pizza and wings and a cake, and they bought me presents. It was so nice! And I was COMPLETELY surprised. I had thought, "It'd be nice if they got me a cake. Even a cupcake. And maybe a card." I was totally not expecting to be surprised. No one ever gave me a surprise party before! It made me so happy. I feel like I am going to really be missed, I felt so special. And not Special Ed for once!
I will really miss a lot of the people here, and even some of the ones I've complained about in the past. I'll miss: Candi, Christina, Christine, Dale, Stacy, Barbie, Beau, Beth, T-Walk, Matt, Margaret, Jodie, Audrey, and if I've forgotten anyone I'm sorry! I hope the people at my new job are as nice.
In good news, I forgot to take the 12 hr painkiller before leaving for work this morning, but my headache hasn't gotten too bad, I only took one dose of Tylenol in the car at 9 this morning, and another around 4 PM, but the second dose wasn't for headache. So my sinusitis is going away. Hooray!
I think that's all for now. Blessed Be and Merry Part!

3 days left at A-Hell-phia
I got the job in Salamanca!!! No more hour long commute! No more of Taffy's singing! No more smelly Wes! Huzzah!!
In other news, my grandpa was in the hospital getting surgery and he got through today okay, so he should be home tomorrow. Everyone has given a "Hey, that sounds like fun" for the Outer Banks 2006 plan. I'm going to a concert with Jess and Frosh 4/28, we're going to see Reel Big Fish in Olean at the Reilly Center. This will make 3 concerts that I've been to.
My last day at Adelphia is 4/20, then I start the new job 4/25.
MP and BB!

Dice and Jobs
And I have to say I whole-heartedly disagree with this assessment.
In other news I have a job interview in Salamanca today with Injun Enterprises. It's an inbound call center that takes orders for discount cigarettes. I'm not sure that I am not morally opposed to selling cigarettes.
Wish me luck, y'all. Merry Part and Blessed Be

Diet Day.... I don't know anymore
Hello Sunshine! This good weather is going to do wonders for my diet, I can already tell.
I am sad because Jeff is going away from 4/24 - 4/30. He's going to learn how to keep crazy people from hurting him better, so that I am glad of, but I wish he didn't have to go away for a whole week! I'm going to need to get a stuffed animal...
Anyway, working and need to impress a new boss, so that's all for today.

Neat stuff online
Here is a link from The Cauldron that I thought some of my Potter fanatic friends might enjoy:
The Witching Hour: A Harry Potter Symposium Apparently they are looking for writing submissions.
Also I found a neat site today where I read all about gas/electric hybrids. It's called HowStuffWorks.com Now I really want a Toyota Prius as my next car. Those are cars that love the Earth!
That's about all here. The scale this morning said I'm now at 154 lbs, so it's time to adjust the Fat Meter again!

Diet Day 17
I went for a short walk on my morning break, I'm going to try to do it again this afternoon. Boy can I tell I didn't walk last week, my hamstrings are already singing.
Last night I talked to Allison on the phone for two hours, so that was fun. I also did the dishes and watched more Charmed.
I'm working with my exercises from Evolutionary Witchcraft. I especially like the consciousness keys. Basically you pick an activity you do regularly, for example I picked washing my hands, and for that activity, you try to be completely present and in the moment, and not doing it on auto-pilot while thinking about other things. I think this is especially helpful for me, because as most people who would be reading this blog know, I'm walking around in a fog half the time. I'd lose my head if it wasn't so far up my *ss.

Diet Day 16
Well, back to work today. Blah.
We did end up playing Paul's Buffy game last night and it was awesome.
First Saoirse, Lily and Amy found Marek in the Watcher's basement, almost entirely encased in a cocoon, with a ugly little creature attached to his chest, that looked like a strange lobster/beetle hybrid. Then they went to Tom's house and found a tunnel leading from the basement and followed it down, down, down into the same dark cave they had visited before to battle with shadow demons. Tom was cocooned the same as Marek had been, except he was stuck to the ceiling and not the floor. There were hundreds of the strange little creatures, swarming and writhing en masse at the center of the cave.
Three cloaked men were also in the cavern. One was in the center, covered waist high in the cocooning substance that encased Marek and Tom. Violet lightning streamed from him to the cave's ceiling. Lily and Amy entered first, both too shocked by the scene to make any witty comments. First the bugs leapt onto Amy. Lily began stabbing the bugs with the golden kris that Marek had given her. Saoirse used her magic to force the bugs away from the Slayer and her Watcher. Vinnie stood ready to defend Saoirse, depsite having to hold his sword left-handed, due to Theresa's treachery. Then the cavern began to shake, and Tom's chrysalis shattered and he fell from the ceiling. Fissures opened in the cave floor and bugs fell through them.
Throughout the course of the battle, Saoirse killed dozens of bugs by dropping boulders on them. Lily and Amy hacked a path through those remaining to attack the hooded figures. Tom's father, Max Lowe, was there, and spewed forth more bugs than than the White Hats could keep up with. At the sight of this, Vinnie vomited on Saoirse's sandals. The second man was a stranger who attacked Amy, knocking her unconscious. The man being encased in the center of the room was the Slayer's own father! Saoirse tossed a boulder at him to try to stop the spell, or whatever was causing the purple lightning.
The strain of using so much magic made Saoirse's fingernails bleed, and her eyes turned blood red. As she dug deeper to find more strength to help her friends, her ash blonde hair turned fire engine red from root to tip, and then back to its original shade. Tom's father, Max, was killed in the fray, and Lily ended it by stabbing her father with the golden kris. A lilac-colored mist drifted along the cave floor, and the fissures closed, swallowing the remaining bugs.
When the purple glow dissipated, a naked man was left lying face down in the center of the cavern. Tom carried his father's body over there, and turned it over to reveal Saoirse's previously incorporeal father. She dropped to her knees from shock and exertion, and then the credits rolled on Season One.

Let me know what you think of my synopis; I know I glazed over details that I couldn't remember clearly. I'll happily add in details about anyone else, like who actually dealt the death blow on Tom's dad. I am aware right now that it sounds like Saoirse was the hero of the episode, which I know is not 100% true. ;-)

Happy Bunny Day!
Or, as Jeff put it this morning, Martyr On A Stick Day. I took today off work because Jeff was called off, and I wanted to spend the day with him. We've watched Charmed and Highlander. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a bathroom scale, and new shampoo.
I've been very lazy and haven't showered all day, and since none of the Pitt gang are online to ask, I'll assume not everyone has returned yet, so we can't play Buffy tonight.
Here's the good news:
Merry Part and Blessed Be!!

Diet Day 13
I'm so hungry... I've got some reduced fat Cheez-its in my desk. I'm thinking about having a handful of those now. Or, I would, if the incoming calls would stop for 30 seconds!!! Arr!!
Okay, I feel better now. This new break schedule they've put us on sucks. It doesn't take into account that in any given week, we MIGHT all be here 1 day of it. Before we could be flexible and work around the incoming calls and each other's breaks. Now it's all buggered up.
The diet's going well. I'm going to weigh myself again on Sunday. I think it will go a lot better once the weather improves and I can go out and walk more.
Well, that's all for now. My 2005 Witches Datebook and my new Chants CD should be coming from Amazon today, so I'll be starting my new studies on Saturday.

Diet Day 7
Yesterday I fell off the diet wagon a bit because Jeff and I went to Erie with Jess and Frosh. The Krispy Kreme light was on as we were leaving Erie, and if you've never had hot, fresh, straight off the conveyor belt Krispy Kremes... you have no frame of reference to judge me for this moment of weakness. Those doughnuts are like mana from the gods.
I also got a new book, Evolutionary Witchcraft. I think once I finish reading it I'm going to do a review for The Cauldron.
Anyway, at work and it's Sunday, so I'll end this here for now. Sunday also means weigh-in day, I really need to get a more reliable scale, I don't trust this one at work entirely.
Hope you all enjoyed Lord Of The Peeps.
Merry Part and Blessed Be!
Go me! 2 Pounds!

Diet Day 4
Today I had chicken noodle soup with crackers, and a little cup of peaches for lunch. I had Frosted Flakes with 2% milk for breakfast. I have consumed over 100 ozs of water, sugar free lemonade, sugar free iced tea, and camomile tea today. Tonight we are having pasta for dinner.
I walked for 10 minutes at work, and last night I did sit ups and leg lifts.
I plan to weigh myself again on Sunday. Then hopefully I get to adjust my fat meter, as Jeff so eloquently called it. Even one pound would cheer me, I don't want to be this hungry and grumpy all the time for no reason. I wonder if this is what quitting smoking is like? Twice now I've abandoned the breakroom and my soaps at lunch, because I don't want to look at the vending machine. Today I started and finished Dead to the World, the 4th book in Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series. It's very enjoyable, I'd reccommend it to anyone who liked the Anita Blake series prior to Obsidian Butterfly.
Well, still at work, so I'll end this here. Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Wow, almost a month between posts.
We've been pretty busy. We visited the casino in Salamanca and went to the buffet, got two new seasons of Highlander, had dinner with Jess and Frosh and played Trivial Pursuit (I won! I won!) That's a brief recap.
I've kind of got the winter blahs. I've been gaining weight, and I'm just sick of it. Of course, the winter weather does not encourage me to get into shape. It encourages me to stay inside and to eat more cookies. So I'm going to try to shake this. Here's a neat little goal meter I found online.
Let's see if I can do this.

My Battle Cry
Rampaging through the plains, carrying buzzsaw hand extensions, cometh Suzanne! And she gives an ominous grunt:
"For the love of carnage and discord, I bring annihilation and cheap beer!!!"
Get yours: What is your Battle Cry?
Tonight, I am playing Paul's Buffy game. Hopefully we can bring the season to a satisfying close.
Hey Paul, can my character leave game next season to go study with my evil dad?

Good Weekend
I am sooo glad it's Thursday! Tomorrow we're going out to the buffet and casino in Slamanca. Then Saturday we're having dinner with my in-laws at Westline. I am excited.
We've also started tentatively hunting for houses to buy.
Sorry no posts in so long, I've been spending time elsewhere on the 'Net. It's a Pagan online community called The Cauldron There are a lot of interesting discussions there. The people seem very nice.
We're a week from the full moon, I think I need to plan a small ritual.
So, wish me luck at the casino. Maybe when I next post it'll be from the Bahamas...

I know, it's been forever
Here are some funnies I wanted to share, that I found while poking around The Cauldron
This guy found a bottle on the ocean, and he opened it and out popped a genie, and he gave him three wishes. The guy wished for a million dollars, and poof! there was a million dollars. Then he wished for a convertible, and poof! there was a convertible. And then, he wished he could be irresistible to all women... poof! he turned into a box of chocolates.
If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose. An entire garment industry would be devastated.
Exercise is a dirty word... Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
Also, read this - http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/zogg/zogg1.html
As for life, it's still good. Going to campus tonight to play the Buffy the Vampire Slayer game. It's been a week of indulging in all things Joss. I got Firefly on DVD, watched couple Buffy episodes. I also got 2 new books, by Gregory Maguire. The first was Wicked, the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. The second is Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. Wicked was excellent, now I also want to read Wizard of Oz. I've never read the book, only watched the movie.

Snow bad, Fire pretty
So after sliding off the road into someone's yard on the way to work today, I decided to cut the day short and come home. So I got to spend the day with Jeff, watching Season 4 of Buffy. Isn't that Marc Blucas a cutie? I especially liked him in the movie Summer Catch.
Back to work tomorrow. I hope they can deal with me leaving. I need to talk to Candi about a contingency plan for Sundays. Both myself and the other girl that works with me, Jodie, have a 30+ mile commute. On a day like today, there's too much chance neither of us will make it. And if only one of us does, it's impossible to get anything done but take incoming calls.
Anyway, that's today's post. We're not playing Buffy tonight cuz Paul has work today. He's a Writing major, what work could he possibly have? (just kidding)
Merry Part and Blessed Be!
Miles: Excuse me, I am tired of living a lie. I need it to be known that I like a big girl. In fact, a large, zaftig, voluptuous, full-figured, big-boned, massive-assive honey, that is what gets me going. I like fat women and they like me... big girls need love too, baby!

Adjustments
I've been adjusting to my new work schedule, and getting up before 8 AM, which has taken away from my normal blog updating time. I'll try to get back to it, especially as I've just joined a message board community. Other people may actually come read my blog now. I'm a little scared.
Still working through Be A Goddess. I got a little behind on this weeks lesson (see above for reason) but I've done the ritual and I need to practice the Purification by earth another time or two. This would be easier in March I think. I don't have bare earth to stand on, just snow. And my objection to that doesn't have anything to do with the snow blocking the energy, just with me having cold, wet feet.
Must shower now. Skiing today with Jess. :) I'm also going to Wal-Mart.
