My name is Jujubee and I am a workaholic.

I work so much that I never go out with my friends anymore. I'm surprised they remember my name if I EVER, EVER get to go out. I'm surprised some of them showed up to my birthday party.

I work so much that I feel like I have abandoned my two closest friends because I can...

You are missed, honey. And sorry I missed your birthday party. I need to utilize my ical- phone calendar syncing possibilities.

mrs_misha:
you need to put yourself on the highest priority. What is the point of life if all you ever do is work. You aren't letting your friends down you are letting yourself down because working all the time is not living. We work to afford to live, not live to work.

I know this because my new job has given me back my life. The hours are shorter and I am not tired all the time. I now have more time to see my friends and I realize how much I was missing by working all the time. Back with my old job, even when I would go out I wouldn't really be there because I was so wiped all the time.

Ask yourself this...
Why do I work so much?
Am I hiding from something in my life by working so much or am I afraid I can't afford my bills with out so many hours?
What is my payoff for so much work (financial, emotional or other)?
What am I missing by working so much?
Is there a way I could work less and still afford (financially) to live?

When I answered these questions myself I was really surprised at the answers. then when I made the change I was even more surprised by the things I got back that I didn't know were missing.

Remember it is not selfish to take care of yourself, you are worth it.

Roxymonoxcide and Nonsense threw me the most awesome birthday party this Saturday. It was a mad hatter tea party theme. She planted large cartoonish flowers outside and two large playing cards stood century outside the front door. You walked into the front room and there were playing cards all over the walls and ceiling, ivy hanging from the walls to the chandelier and paper lights...

It sucks about the program, I tried to get onto Canada's next top chef, but they wouldn't take contestants from Canada. That is what really sucks. Hell's Kitchen won't take Canadians either.

Bravo, the network, has been trying to get a hold of me all week apparently. I finally called them back today. It's not for the show Top Chef (which I hear is great but I don't think I would like to compete), but for a new series they are going for which (from what I gather) they place a personal chef with a celebrity and...

I really don't know if I would consider most things I do "normal", but sometimes I do make-up stories for inanimate objects, it just kinda pours out of me.

Story for pending application:

One night before the start of service, I was down in the basement having my meal and relaxing. The basement is taken by 1/2 prep area and 1/2 offices. The owners office door was open and her favorite waiter came down for a conversation. The conversation was ending and she was saying they all better get the floor organized or the servers will look stupid out there. So, her favorite waiter states "Even when I'm stupid, I'm still pretty!" The rest of the kitchen found the comment quite hilarious.

If you require a story with blood, burns, trauma, and chaos, I have those as well. But, I still trying to figure how "Even when I'm stupid, I'm still pretty" is a good thing.

Crappy update.
Crappy health.
Lovely friends.
Okay work.


Went to the Pirates Marathon at El Capitan last Thursday with PunkJr. We had an absolute BLAST. Worth every penny. I also palmed a piece of eight from the table (I'm a pirate, I see something shiny lying around I take it). We did Disneyland the next day and walked around the new Pirates Cove that used...

roxymonoxcide:
Davy Jones' Locker Why sailors should have given the name Davy Jones to "the fiend that presides over all the evil spirits of the deep" (Smollett) is not clear. Some philologists, nothing that Black West Indians refer to ghosts as duppies, suggest that "Davy Jones" may derive from "Duppy Jonah"--Jonah's ghost. Certainly sailors long used "Jonah" to mean anyone (or anything) that, like the original Jonah, was thought to mean bad luck aboard ship--which was why Jonah was flung overboard to be swallowed by the whale. However Davy Jones acquired his name, his locker is the ocean bottom, the final resting place of sunken ships, drowned sailors and anything else given the deep six.

Deep six, the.Though this phrase sometimes means the grave, it doesn't, as you might think, refer to a deep "six by three" hole in the ground; it's from the sea, not the land. When a ship moved toward shallow water, the crew would take soundings with a lead weight attached to a line. The line was marked at specific intervals, as with a knot, a piece of calico, a strip of leather and so on. The marks were placed at one fathom (six feet or 1.83 meters), two fathoms, five fathoms and ten fathoms. If the line ran out to one of the marks, the leadsman would call out "Mark five!" or whatever the depth was; for depths between the marks, he'd estimate and call out "Deep four!" or "Deep six!"
But--why do we say "deep six" rather than one of the other "deeps"? I'd guess it had to do with the tides, whose rise and fall almost anywhere in the world is less--usually much less--than six fathoms. That is, something or someone thrown overboard in six fathoms at high tide would remain submerged even at extreme low water; if you give something the deep six, you've disposed of it permanently.

Between the devil and the deep seaThe "devil" in question was the outermost seam of the deck of a wooden ship. If you're between the devil and the deep sea, you're in imminent danger of going overboard--though the modern sense is closer to "between a rock and a hard place."

ARRR!!!

"I Don't Love You"

Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

When you go
Would you even...

usually love takes longer then a day to go away ... although partners can do stuff you hate ...
