Everyone and their friend is out today. I'm not kidding. It's me and Ester running things at ISP. 5 people are out sick. 5. FIVE.
And the lady who runs the college division? Just sent her only help home, too. How can an office function with three people, I ask you???
I have birthed a...a pimple is NOT the right word. There is a pod person living inside of my forehead. This thing is so large that it's giving me a headache.
And I don't get pimples. I really don't. That's the one area in which Mother Nature decided not to be cruel - I have some damn nice skin. Now, the day before classes start, I've got a blemish so large on my face that I could guide traffic.
I've tried everything. I tried steam. I tried toothpaste. I tried a tasty combination of Vicodin, alcohol, and Motrin, which did little for my zit, but made me feel quite delicious.
I had grad school orientation yesterday. It lasted a whole hour, and consisted of little more than 13 people bitching because they didn't get into the class they wanted. I did. What a great first impression I'm making here - already the girl who took the last spot in a course.
Hey, it pays to not sleep with the guy upstairs sometimes.
But, I want my money back! Law School Orientation was something like 4 days. Complete with a big booze party. I get an hour? What the heezie!
Also, I'd like to point out the fact that it is now after 11 a.m. and I haven't finished this entry yet. I think this evening, I'm going to make myself a nice, strong drink. If I ever make it home, that is...
This is Alyssa, and the pimple of doom, signing off.
Fin.
