Friday night was Neal's game. Ben and I ate fruit pastry during it. It was rather yummy. (Thanks Jenny!)

Afterwards, Ben mentioned to me that I really don't speak up much in games. He's right, but it bothered me and I ended up crying cause I let him down again.

Saturday we went back to Rockethouse for billy's game. I'm glad I don't have to do two games every week. I don't think I'd be able to handle it. I tried extra hard so that I wouldn't dissapoint ben again. However, around 11 I was already passing out. :(

Sunday, Ben and I went christmas shopping. He bought me my christmas gift. It's pretty. And we found something good for the Rocketharem. Also, we got some good ideas for Rockethouse. Then ben spent the rest of the day spoiling me with beignets and chocolate. It was fun.

We were incredibly tired when we got home and ben wasn't feeling well. We rested for a bit, and then went over to Rockethouse to celebrate dani's 20th birthday. (She's old.) We ate cake and but didn't join them downtown. Ben was still not feeling well.

On the way home we got into a stupid argument. It really was stupid and useless and I wish the topic never came up. Anyway, we spent a lot of the evening not talking to each other. Eventually I broke down and started crying. That seems to be my mind's way of dealing with anything that makes it unhappy. Ben had to reassure me he wouldn't break up with me over this argument. I was really tired after that from all the crying.

However, I didn't go to bed cause ben still wasn't feeling well and I was worried about him. I don't like when he's sick or hurting. I wish I could fix things. I'm thinking of going to the store after work to get him some orange juice. And I might as well pick up milk too.

A nap in the arms of my boy has much improved my mood. Sorry to those that had to deal with my crankyness.

I forgot to mention, on Saturday I was told to arrive with bells on. So I made sure to wear my jingle bell christmas socks. Ben said I sounded like a sleigh. ^^;

This afternoon, after work, I went home and made jello for ben since he has a sore throat. I'm hoping it will hurt less for him to eat that.

Then I took a nap and overslept by quite a bit. Now I'm at work and I plan on working until ben lets me know he wants me to come home, or when there's no reason for me to be here.

I discovered the staff room today. Jason told me about it when I excitedly told him about the free hot cocoa I stole from the other b-school. Turns out theres a whole room that I am allowed to use for tea and cocoa. Wheee! That makes me happy. :)

So, my boss is letting me work extra. He does this cause I actually show up, and actually do the work. Unlike a lot of my coworkers who neglect one or two or both responsibilities.

Today as I was working, this girl comes up to me and asks if I was working now. I replied that I was. Then she asked if I was on the schedule. I explained that no, I wasn't, but Jason was letting me work extra during finals since people aren't showing up.

In a less polite tone than she started with, she tells me that she's on the schedule and that I'm going to ahve to move. That seemed silly to me since I was already sitting and working and there were plenty of desks for her to sit at. I pointed out the many desks she could use, but she continued to insist that I move since she has a lot of work to do. In one of my few demonstrations of my squishy backbone, I told her taht she could do her work at any of the free desks in the lab.

Heh ^^; That really annoyed her. She got rather annoyed, to put it polite and was demanding that I leave. It was then that I realized I was arguing with an idiot. So, rather than antagonize her further and bring myself down to that level, I told her that if it really made that much of a difference, I would move. She said it would and for some reason, dashed out of the lab.

As I was signing out of my account, my boss comes by and tells me not to move since he told me to sit there in the first place. The girl came back a few minutes later and my boss told her that I was supposed to sit here. The girl told him the same things that she told me. She also demanded to know why I got overtime and she didn't. My boss pointed out that she was half an hour late, whereas I show up on time. Then they argued a bit about scheduling conflicts and not reporting when she was not going to show up to work.

They argued a bit more, but in the end I eventually had to move. But my boss doesn't seem happy about this. Now the girl and her friend are taing together. I am almost positive she's complaining about the incident. Oh well. Not my problem.

Funny thing, when I got up to change computers, I checked the printers. All empty. I'm glad my other coworkers were working hard too.

This job would be easier if it was just me and my friends. The rest of the people can just go away. :P
