I celebrated the fact that I had my teeth cleaned at the dentist's today in the most logical manner possible: Easter candy! LOL. Hayley is a candy freak and every holiday, she makes up little bags for the whole team and leaves them on our desks. Today's had the unfortunate inclusion of a spearmint-flavoured jellybean. Ewwwwwww. Not a mint fan at all - peppermint quite randomly triggers my gag reflex so it's not high on my list of favourite flavours. Strangely, it doesn't bother my throat when it's mixed with chocolate, though, so I'm all for that combo! (And yes, I use cinnamon toothpaste, lol.) Getting up to go to the dentist in the first place was sooooooooooooo haaaaaaaaaaaaaard this morning though! Argh. I caught an extra hour of sorta-sleep when I got back before I had to go to work, but it wasn't a deep sleep or anything. Just long and deep enough for some really vivid, fucked-up dreams. Something involving an essay? I think I'm having sympathy exam pains for the portion of my flist which is in school.
Although getting a jellybean I didn't like reminded me of Bertie Botts's jellybeans in Harry Potter, which made me think that since they have such ridiculous flavours as ear wax and vomit, they must also have come-flavoured jellybeans. Which kinda made me glad I didn't have any white ones in the bag. *is so in that proverbial handbasket*
Also, yes, yes, yes I will take some pictures once I have my new glasses. Yeesh! Actually, I'm getting my hair cut next Saturday so I'll wait till after that. This weekend I need to scout out stuff so I can do the dyeing myself, now that Elz has given me some idea of what I'm doing, lol. If I can't find it yet, I'll get it done pro once more and keep looking and possibly get it online if I have to. I'd rather get something right here though, in case I need to ask someone questions! And if all else fails, she offered to mail me some LOL so we could work something out that way.
Update on the work sitch: apparently they finished the painting after-hours on Tuesday. My manager went after the super yesterday and his explanation was that he'd thought it would be okay b/c it was in an enclosed space, i.e., a room with the door closed. Obviously the guy has never painted a small room b/c the way the workers left the tray outside the door is *standard* so that you don't end up stepping in the damn thing! Anyway, my manager basically told him off and also empowered me to pretty much do what I said I would if it happened again, namely inform the manager on duty that it was to stop immediately and the equipment be removed, and to leave the building if I needed to. Have I mentioned recently that I love her? She really is awesome. I've been *so* incredibly lucky in my bosses to date. Course, I'm also a very good employee so it's worth it to kiss my ass. ;-D
