autumn perks

so, i have to start enrolling at the end of this week... which means i have to have an answer from my boss by tomorrow at the latest. i have a yearly review that i will also have sometime this week, in which i'll probably bring up the subject again .... but only after they tell me how much my raise is. if it sucks, i may just tell them to bite me and become a full time student again. actually, i think that might be kind of nice for a change. i am so sick of sharing an office with chompy and hacky, that i could scream. today, the hacking seems magnified for some reason.... and it happens every thirty seconds or so. *hack hack* *hack haaaack hack* all. morning. long. and she's already taken 3 cigarette breaks. i'm betting she has no idea how annoying her nasty flegm induced smoker's hack is. if she did, she would quit cold turkey. ick. anyway, other than that -- today is a pretty good day. i had the windows rolled down today on my way to work, and it was like a fall morning. the cool, crisp air was wonderfully refreshing!! i do love my summertime, and although we haven't had much of a summer this year... i am looking forward to the fall. it is my absolute favorite. the smell of the air is so good, the clothes are cute, it's my Libran birthday, football season is in full swing, AAAAAAAAAND the tulsa state fair comes to town!! oh, i am about to prove that i'm a big nerd by telling you how much i love the state fair! things i love about the state fair include: beef jerky corn dogs funnel cakes turkey legs carnies (the pick up lines are great. my favorite is,"you're so fine, i'd stick pencils in your ears and ride you like a harley.) the janky rides characature portraits new gadgets barber shop quartets people watching live music entertainment the chinese people that do cool acrobatic stuff hypnotists cheap jewelry dip-n-dots ice cream did i mention the beef jerky? watching people have their kids' pictures taken, and then put on a t-shirt that says "i heart grandma" new cooking utensils that i buy and then never use i could go on, but you get the point. i love the fair. love it, love it, love it. i am buying a good digital camera soon, so by then -- i will be able to post pictures of this great event. it's some of the best people watching you'll ever see......almost better than going to the country bar!
