state of the meg: aw hell no  
So, I have a very high tolerance for shit.

I can handle the equivalent of working 70 hours a week. I might not like it, but I can handle it. I still get some me time.

Well.........
 
I got home from work, after 2 am, and Dad was still up.

Ok. Totally not cool with that. Dude, after 1:30, it's MY time. To quote Samuel L. Jackson... GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP.

My work got in a new product - we now carry Fruit Loop flavored vodka. Out of everything we stock, that's the thing I've been most tempted by. If it tastes half as good as it smells.... Well, I don't have to worry about that for a while, now do I. I really, really, really want to try it though. I'll behave, though, for obvious reasons. I'm totally gonna go buy some damn fruit loops tomorrow, though.

OH! I forgot to mention. Got a phone call last week, the probation department decided I needed to be ETG'd and drug screened. (ETG is an alcohol test that goes back 72 hrs). Needless to say, I passed. :D The drug test pops up immediately if you have nothing in your system, so I was sitting there humming and I flipped out for a second because everything popped up immediately except for the THC test... that took about an extra second or two. Why? Go figure, I work in a rock concert hall and am subjected to secondhand smoke. I didn't test positive by any means, but my heart seized up for a second there. Remember that whole deal last spring? Yeah, not going for a repeat. I like wearing underwire bras too much.

School is still completely overwhelming. I kind of want to drop pre-calc, but I have a 3.5 in there, so I can't justify doing as such. I can't drop Human Sexuality, either - before the exam we just took, I had 100% after at least 7 in-class assignments. Not only that, but it feels like I'd be giving up if I dropped either. I have a paper due at midnight tomorrow, and after that I'm going to be redoing a ton of precalc homework - I just don't get it yet, so I'm going to subscribe to my former train of thought where if you don't you get it, you keep redoing it until you do.

I also have a reputation nowadays!! In comparison to previous bars, I have a stellar one now. It's been generally accepted that I'm super quick, very good at my job, 'very very nice', 'freakishly smart', and 'the hottest geek ever'. (the quotes are my favs by the way). Despite some altercations/issues with two coworkers (they started it, the bitches), I've got a reputation as a peacemaker, and apparently I've set myself up to be the bar tutor for math, which endlessly amuses me.

Anyways. I'd love to babble more, but it's 3 am, and I go to bed around 1 nowadays, so I'm Really Damn Tired. However, I figured a good ole' fashioned state o' the meg was due, so babble babble babble i go. :)

Hang on in there and DO NOT taste fruit loop vodka, which sounds rather disgusting to yours truly. Vodka should be untainted and mixed only with tomato juice or orange juice depending on whether you want a Bloody Mary or a Screwdriver.

Well done on passing the tests the probation people put you through, didn't expect less.

I think you're doing well in your studies so don't give up, just do the best you can and organize yourself (says disorganization in process - lol)

Hugs

Yeah, it's made by Three Olives, which makes the most random flavors. Off the top of my head, we have...

Root Beer
Cherry
Bubblegum
Dude (lemon lime)
Grape
Mixed Berry
Cake
Fruit Loop
RangTang (orange and tangerine)
and plain ole basic vodka.

That's just Three olives, we only stock about half of their flavors. We don't really stock many duplicates, and since we carried Stoli first, we have more flavors through them.

Stoli, we have:
lemon
raspberry
blueberry
orange
strawberry
vanilla

Does it sound good to me? Yup. Do I want to try it? Yup. Am I gonna try it? Nope. Maybe after probation is over. It's probably loaded with sugar and stuff anyways. A couple people said it was really good, though. I just thought it was really amusing we have it. Oh, and one of the suggested shots is called breakfast of champions - one oz loopy vodka, 2 oz milk. *boggles* Personally, I'm concerned about the mix, but... Whatever ya like, ya know?

Have to confess none of them appeal to me whatsoever. Haven't had a Bloody Mary in years because not many places have people who know how to prepare it properly.
I'm a Gin&Tonic girl and a finiky one at that, so fortunately I wouldn't be tempted - LOL
That mix sounds awful, but then I've seen people drink top grade whiskey and coke so.....

Of course it could be like the "Escocés" we have here in Bilbao: strong black coffee, sugar to taste, vanilla ice-cream and a shot of your favourite whiskey - can recommend that provided there's only a small shot of whiskey, some places it's almost half a tumbler unless you stop them. Then there's the "Irlandés" where ice-cream is replaced by whipped cream, and it's Irish Whiskey instead of Scotch whiskey.

Proud of you for passing the tests and being all busy-busy and a good gal overall! *thumbs up* I do have to admit that I'm a bit concerned by your work environment, for the simple that that it poses so many temptations.

And for crissakes, pace yourself! Nobody's gonna win if you run yourself into the ground at school, ya know? Haven't done calculus in literally decades, so I'll probably just give you a blank stare, but is there maybe anything I can help you with? The matrixes kinda worked, after all, and nobody was more surprised than I. LOL!

Sounds like you're overall in a good state! Congrats on the grades and the passing the tests and all that good stuff. Just make sure to find a little Meg-time in all of the craziness. Don't burn out!

Atta girl, Megs! You're doing so well! Just keep at it, and yeah, if something is too much or it's all too much, find something to let slide. Though if it's summer term, it might be worth humping through.

Woot! Keep it up!
