Compelled to Write, I Feel Not

I'm totally in love with "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS.  There are people who feel so uncomfortable watching it, but I feel that it's innocent enough that it's not a problem.  For me, at least.  I really appreciate Kunal Nayyar the most - he really makes the show for me; conversely, I feel that there may have been better options than Kaylee Cuoco (though none come to mind at the moment).

I was just going to say that I had nothing to say until I thought of this: Jenna Bush.

It pisses me off that the entire area is making a big deal about her arrival.  I would really hate to be the person living in close proximity to her and her husband - all the press this is generating is exasperating.  So she decided to move to Fed Hill?  So her husband works for Constellation Energy?  That's one more reason to dislike him, in my opinion.  I can't stand Mayo Shattuck, and Molly just irritates me.  I can't make up my mind, however, if that's because she's a trophy wife or because they're rolling in money.

What hypocrisy.  I just looked CE's career postings.  I should be dragged out in the street and shot.  Actually because I want to be rich and greedy and rolling in money, I should actually be strung up by my thumbs.

As much as I want to be pissed about my current (non-graduated) situation, I can't, because I know that I wouldn't be able to get a job in HR if I had graduated.  I'd be stuck in a hole with nowhere to go (hey, that rhymes!) and that would just bite.  Still, it's a wishful situation: I find myself looking at HR jobs I could have a good chance at getting, but I know I'll be more qualified when I'm ready.  I'm just bitter (get over it, Elle).

Which brings me to something else: it irritates me that people in the business world have this vendetta against HR.  I'm willing to concede that in some companies that don't have a good department, HR would actually suck.  Companies that do have a great HR team, though, should be given credit.  There are some people who genuinely care about their jobs and the people that they impact while they're doing their jobs and/or making decisions pertaining to the workforce.  That's just irritating that people take HR's functions for granted, because in many cases, working conditions would be shit without that kind of regulation.  I'm fortunate to work with a team that is amazing at what they do.  The Assistant knows literally everyone and everything that is going on in the organization, no small feat when you think about what goes into even a mid-sized company (which I work for).  That's a lot of stuff to keep track of, a lot of politics to watch out for, a lot of things to watch for that are being thrown your way.

I used to work for an organization whose HR left much to be desired.  That's all I'm going to say.

I think my dog hates that I make him feel/seem subordinate to me.  This dog is so funny.

Oh, so last week I saw an old friend who I had a falling out with some months ago.  We actually live near each other, and I'm surprised it's taken this long for us to get a glance at each other; our falling out was over a year ago.  I'm not experiencing any heartbreak over it, though I thought it was funny that this person thought it necessary to tear through the intersection we were both stopped at after the light turned green.  I can take this one of a few ways:

1.  That he assumes I have some kind of ridiculous emotion to him/his car and feels the need to emphasize on this (theoretical) fact.  [If this is the case, it's really not that serious.  I don't have any kind of feelings about anything, though a year ago I was still fuming about something.  Besides, I know the Accord has something like 210hp, tearing out of the intersection like that does nothing but waste one's gas.]

2.  That he's still irritated and doesn't want to look at me.  [Which would amuse me greatly.  We exist, we might as well coexist peacefully.]

3.  That he probably thought I would pull an ignorant driver move and attempt to beat him out at the light in order to cut in front of him (a frequent occurrence until the HOA put in two designated lanes).  [It's ridiculous.  I can drive like a moron frequently, but it raises my blood pressure when someone does that to me, and therefore I am in no position or want to be a hypocrite.]

Perhaps that I'm writing about it just proves that I'm still irritated about the whole situation in some way, shape, or form.  Whatever, I'm working on getting over it.

My boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Montreal, which is incredibly exciting.  Honestly, I feel so grown up!  I'm sure my father will have a cow, but no matter, he's not paying for the trip, and I'm frankly in a position to be making these kinds of decisions, anyway.  (Good Lord, who am I justifying these decisions to??  I must be trying to just reassure myself.) 

Le boyfriend bought a Wii and I want to play Mario.
