back in blogtown

I pretty inconsistent at this blog business, but I'm giving it another go.
Off to Mexico tomorrow (well techinically really early Sat. morning) either way I'm crazy excited about it. Going to Virginia in Novemeber really helped me realize that I don't get out of this town often enough. I'm afraid however, that the new year will be boring as I don't have any travel plans after this. I probably won't have the money for it anyway, so if anyone wants to come and camp-out in my backyard, we can pretend we're off on the West Coast Trail or something equally exciting as that.
I have a couple of goals for my trip to Mexico:
1. Meet new people (thanks to Chryslyn for this challenge)
2. The great coffee detox (seriously, it's out of control, I need un-habituate myself)
3. Get an amazing tan (self-explanatory)
I'll see you guys in a week or so. Have an AMAZING Christmas!!

Dr. Kinley, you are a beast

****CYNICAL WARNING****JESS IS HAVING A BAD DAY****

So I went for the much dreaded root canal today.. it was pretty much the worst thing ever. I want to cry. Ok, so I'm crying just a little.
My mouth hurts, I'm tired and I still have so much to get finished before I get a break. The one consolation I'm clinging to right now is the fact that in 5 years, today will not matter one bit. In fact in 5 years I will laugh at my undergrad days where I pulled more all-nighters than is ever advisable. In 5 years I will go to bed at nine o'clock.
Kind of funny how it makes me feel better to know that everything I'm doing right now has very little lasting value... all for that piece of paper, the degree, that once I have will very quickly decrease in value.
great, my life is a joke...

Tired is only the tip of the iceberg

My deep dark confession... I am a procrastinator.
Now I won't get to sleep until next Monday night.

I'm gonna be one sleepy girl

my desk job day 2

...soon little jess, i promise you a beach...
So the office supplies are treating me better today, unfortunately my brother isn't. Seriously, the worst Bob Barker impression EVER!! As I sit roasting in the rays of my parabolic heat dish, DAMN YOU JASON!! Turn that off!! It's exactly 25 degrees celsius in here, I feel nauseous.
He thinks he's so sneaky, he walks behind my desk to fiddle with that confounded heat dish. Because broiled Jess is obviously hilarious.
He just made my stuffed dog shit a microphone... wow. He works very hard here.

my desk job

Seriously, how am i ever supposed to succeed in life if I can't adequately use a letter opener??!!! I always end up cutting the mail inside. Let's face it, I am an utter failure... don't even get me started on my troubles with the stapler. And between you and me, I'm pretty sure the fax machine is out to get me.

What is all comes down to...

What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

Who me?? A blogger?? no way

Well, here I am. Joining that secret society, the underworld of the internet, the dead-poets society of technology... I am a blogger.
Wow, feels good to get that out. So, since I'm fairly new at this, I'll need y'all to help me out. Any tricks of the trade? Let me know all your secrets... well maybe not all of them, only those secrets of the blog variety. Spread the word, generate interest. Jess is blogging everyone!! Come check it out!
