Conspiracy Theory
I have decided that it is absolutely necessary for me to blame various events in my life on the fact that it must be some sort of conspiracy behind their occurrence. I am especially convinced of this since when I just typed up this whole blog and went to publish, it magically had an "internal server error" - in other words, it was a conspiracy to delete my blog so that I did not expose the conspiracies running rampant in my world these days!!! Anyways, I will try to reconstruct my original blog to the best of my ability and this time save it before trying to republish so it is not again erased. The reason behind me pointing out these conspiracies are 1) weird things have been happening and I have to blame someone/something and 2) I really like saying "It's a conspiracy!" So here are a few that I are at the top of my mind for your enjoyment and reading pleasure.
1) It is definitely a conspiracy that I have yet to receive my absentee ballot to vote. Considering the election is all of four days away, I am guessing I will not be voting this year. Despite requesting my absentee ballot on two separate occasions, I have yet to receive it, and I even called yesterday to ask the lady about it, and she claims it was already mailed and verified the address and that was that. I guess it's my fault somehow that I didn't get my absentee ballot - whatever, it's a conspiracy! I've decided that if Mr. Bush does not win Florida, then I will obviously have to call up the attorneys for Bush that are already posted in Florida due to the 60,000 absentee ballots that have mysteriously disappeared from Brevard County as well and 2000's voting disaster, and make sure that I inform them of my situation to add to their list!
2) It is a conspiracy that everyone and their brother (well not really but still) that I know has either recently gotten a promotion at work or has gotten a cool new job. EXCEPT ME!!!! I mean come on, I've been trying for about a year now off and on, when is it my turn?! ;) Even my husband called me this morning saying that they had talked to him at work about a possible promotion and maybe even a raise by the beginning of the year - hello, he just started working full time there this summer and I've been here two years! Yikes!!!! Alrighty then, point being it's definitely a conspiracy and I'm waiting my turn to reap the benefits of being denied for so long! I better get an extra good job next time around!!!
3) It's a conspiracy that I got all my work done and filing done (our file clerk is on maternity leave and the duty has fallen to us to handle on top of the gobs of work we already have) and thought today might actually be decent. And then I was informed that because I was already done with my filing, that I had to be a "team player" and help the ONE person that can't keep up with their own filing. So let me get this straight - I am a good little worker bee and get all my stuff done and then I have to continue to do boring old filing for someone else just because they've been a big slacker and didn't get it done themselves?! I see how this works - can you say CONSPIRACY?!
4) My last conspiracy of the day is that it has rained all week long just because of the fact that I got a pretty shiny new car last Saturday. Oh and it's going to get cool this weekend so after waiting almost a year to get air conditioning in my car, I now only have had the pleasure of enjoying it for a week before it will be turned off for most of the winter months. Grrr!
I think that is all the conspiracies I have recently realized. I'm sure there will be more soon and feel free to add some more of your own! :)

Well, I lay my head on the railroad track
Waitin' on the "double e"
But the train don't run through here no more
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Chorus:
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Oh, these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe, woe is me!
Well, I met a man out in Hollywood
And I ain't namin' names
But he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James
Yes, he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
He put me through some changes
Lord, sorta like a waring blender
Repeat Chorus
Well, I met a boy in Vieux-Carres
Down in Yokohama
He picked me up and he threw me down
Sayin', "please don't hurt me, mama"
Repeat Chorus
Poor, poor poor me!
Poor, poor pitiful me...
Well, well well....guess what happened when I tried to sign in to post a comment? Internal Service Error!!! Go figure. Yes I have to agree with Mel....especially about the work one...although at the moment I am personally behind on my filing as well...I know that its my fault and I dont have the boss telling everyone that they should be doing MY filing. Mel and I first noticed "Be a good employee and end up taking it up the ass" phenomenon when we worked in our first bar. We were good workers, didnt bitch and moan comstantly, and what did we get for it? Crappy schedules and thusly crappy tips. Its a conspiracy for sure. As for the good job thing, I have yet to get my really cool dream job, so I dont think I fit into that category, but since I havent been here all that long Mel tried to tell me I did....now, several of you that read this blog know my job.....would you consider it cool? Even my boyfriend also just got a cool new job. Sigh
Hey, I'm aiming for the new AND exciting job thing. But Sara at least you got the new part down! ;) Even a change of scenery would be nice. My cubicle walls are starting to come in on me, and I've probably memorized their patterns and where everything is posted on them in my head! Ugh! ;)
Yeah well, when I was still working in the bars, my goal was to get a cool new job....and I ended up here....what a letdown. So I go from a job where the person that annoys me is a teeth grinding speed freak to a place where the person that annoys me is just kind of a lazy drunk....thats kind of a step in the right direction, I guess.
From a personal perspective: NO COMMENT.
Otherwise: Hey, Melissa, if you get a new job, how much notice will you give?
Depends on what the new job wanted. If asked how long, I might do 2-3 weeks depending on my mood at the time and how sorry I feel for my replacement! ;) Ha!
