Back on the blog and ready for Brit!

I would have to say it's been a good week. I started a new job as a managing editor, I am going to see Britney Spears in concert for my bachelorette party (see video immediately below) with some of my best friends and, finally, I don't have swine flu.



Now, I realize it's been quite some time since I last made you laugh hysterically, and, for that, I apologize. I've been horribly rude, inconsiderate, selfish, [insert adjective of how you envision me for leaving this blog here]. But the truth is, I wanted to see what you guys thought I should turn this blog into. Now, the poll has closed, and here are the results:

Keep it coming as often as possible in this same style!
9 (22%)
GET OVER IT. You're a Working Girl, not a Nonworking Girl. We're done.
8 (20%)
Switch the tone of the blog to follow life as a Working Girl.
15 (37%)
Change the style of the blog to something else, but keep it.
8 (20%)

So what I'm gathering from this poll is that I must, must, must keep the blog...but how I do it is up to me...but I'll try to change the tone to follow my new life.

Here we go.

This week, I started work on Monday. I was horribly tired, as I am on medicine that apparently makes me unable to sleep. After work, I came home and attempted to catch up on all of the TV I missed during the day, but to no avail. I apparently was watching way too much during the day to still keep up on my shows at night. Needless to say, I was thoroughly disappointed and contemplated quitting my new job so I could watch TV.

Not really.

But it might have crossed my mind.

The next day I convinced myself I could get through that TV if I just really, really devoted myself. After watching about 30 minutes of the "Today" show in the morning and catching up on about two game shows before Patrick got home, that was it, and I surrendered myself to deleting these shows from my DVR and my life. And then I cried.

Not really.

But it might have crossed my mind.

Today, I went to work and devoted myself to packing for my bachelorette party/bridal shower/weekend in Napoleon. I resigned myself to the fact that all I needed to do was catch up on my prime time TV from this week, and I accomplished my goal. I even met my goal of quitting watching "The Hills."

Not really.

And it really didn't cross my mind.

So now, I'm preparing for bed as I half pay attention to "The Duel 2" and wondering why I am even devoting half of my attention to it. I am really just anxiously awaiting seeing my idol, Brit, on the stage tomorrow. Perhaps I will provide you all with some high-quality photos from this concert.

Because what better things does a Working Girl have to do than upload photos of Britney while at work? Perhaps if I knew that, I would never have been a Nonworking Girl in the first place.

Juuuuust kidding.

Any ideas of what I should blog about, now that I don't have a job? I realize this blog wasn't funny, but I might need a little ammunition. As my college roommate once told me, "unemployment makes me wittier." So now I am completely drained of wit, knowledge and ideas.

  2. This blog SUCKS. It wasn't good when you were unemployed, and it's obviously not good while you're employed. People only voted for you to keep it because your friends/family are cowards who are afraid to tell you to GIVE IT UP. People only visit it because they have nothing to do at work or school. Leave the blogging to funny people like Mark Titus.

  3. If I were Patrick I'd kill myself. We get that you like TV. We don't need an article every day to reiterate that.
