Today has been a way lame day. Here is why:
-I turned my alarm off and went back to sleep on accident.
-Because I slept in, I had to do my hair curly and curly is very ugly on me.
-When I got to work my office smelled of Chinese food because I left my leftovers in there all night last night.
-I have to move offices and I really don't want to so I have been putting it off. But, I guess that today is the day. (side note: I wouldn't mind moving if all of my stuff could be magically transported to my new office... and all organized. It's the actual moving that sucks.)
-I went to go get some water from the break room and I put my elbow in a puddle of coffee. I am wearing a white sweater. And now my left elbow is brown.
-I am angered by the fact that someone spilled coffee and didn't clean it up.

You wish, Donald.
Today I was at lunch when I saw this 
advertisement:
advertisement:It took me 3 FULL minutes before I realized that this was supposed to be Donald Trump. I seriously discussed with my co worker who could possibly be taking over The Apprentice. Who are you kidding Donald? I have seen this man in real life. He looks nothing like that.
He looks like this, only more horrifying and disgusting.
YOU'RE FIRED, Donald, for actually thinking you look like the man in that poster.

Pet Peevie
Oh my heavens how I love msn.com . I don’t get the news paper so I would say it’s where I get 99% of my news. The other 1% comes when I accidentally walk into the living room when roommate Erika is watching the news on tv. They always have fun articles about how to snag a man and how to tell, once you’ve snagged him, if he’s cheating. Now I know this doesn’t count as “news” but it’s a nice little bonus when I get sick of reading about Organic and Sustainable Décor.
Anyway, today on msn they had a great article about Pet Peeves. I hate the term pet peeve, you might even say the term pet peeves is one of my pet peeves. Oh boy. But, when I was home at Christmas my nephew Campbell was reading something and it listed a pet peeve and he proceeded to read it as pet peevie which I think sounds fantastic and will now be using that term instead of the original for the rest of my life. But please folks, let’s talk about our pet peevies because the ones in this article are PATHETIC. Who cares! Here are mine:
1. When I am being shushed or being told to “calm down.” There is nothing like a good shushing that will make me feel like a 3rd grader who needs to use her “inside voice” all over again. And I hate feeling like a 3rd grader. Also, calm down? Really? You think that I need to calm down? Tell me one more time and I will show you needing to CALM DOWN. Please don’t take my passionate debates for loss of control. I rarely lose control but you are bound to see me if you keep that up.
2. The phrase, “I’d better let you go.” There is nothing worse than being on the phone, having a perfectly normal conversation and then the other person takes the liberty of tell me that they will let me go. Who said I needed to go? I didn’t. I am fine. I can stay on this phone for hours. If you are done with a conversation with me or if you need to go, take responsibility for that and do not try to put that off on me. Don’t let me go, let yourself go.
3. Me: “Hello, my name is Cassidy. Nice to meet you.”
Them: “Hey Cass.”
Wait… What? Did you just call me Cass mere seconds after we’ve met? Oh no. You didn’t.
4. Traffic stops during rush hour. I think that traffic stops are bad enough. Really, Mr. Officer? You are going to pull her over for crossing that solid line? You are a ridiculous person. BUT! During rush hour? We have a hard enough time as a society trying to drive in large groups without slow going and needless breaking. Now you are going to give us a reason to slow down, pause to see that poor sucker get a ticket. And for what? Passing on the right? Give me a break.
5. Being told what to do as opposed to being asked. I have no idea why being told what to do will immediately make me want to do the opposite. I know that I work for you and that I am here at to be at your beck and call, but if you phrased everything in the form of a question instead of a demand, I think that we would get along much better. Thank you.
6. Unnecessary Texts (this I am going to copy from my friend Craig’s Things That Suck list because he words it so well and it is exactly what I hate.) After a conversation is complete, no “OK” is needed. The thrill of receiving an electronic message is completely ruined by the following words: “OK,” “All right,” “Bye,” “Haha.” Please, let’s just move on with our lives. (Thanks Craig.)
Ok, now let's hear yours.

Fast Food
I really enjoy fast food. There are many reasons. It's fast (obviously), it's cheap and for the most part it's good. I don't get to eat it very often but I was thinking today about what a great idea the dollar menu is. My favorite items from dollar menus are:
1. The Whopper Jr. (Burger King)
2. McChicken (McDonalds)
3. Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger (Wendys)
What are yours? I would love to hear it.
Also, I know that the opposite is supposed to be true, but whenever I watch this it makes me want McDonalds even more. Is there something seriously wrong with me?
