200th Post!!!

I'd like to take a moment to recognize myself and the fact that this is my 200th post. I am just so proud of me and all that I have accomplished on this blog, I feel it really says a lot about me as a person. But to be completely honest, this isn't all me, not in the least bit. I definitely could not have done this all on my own. If this blog was entirely about me I wouldn't have anything to make fun of, you can't exactly make fun of perfection. So perhaps this would be a good time to thank a few people. First of all, I would like to thank reality tv personalities. More specifically, girls from the Bachelor, especially monkey Gia and trashy barbie Vienna. Of course all of the lovely young ladies on Teen Mom, yes, April (Catelynn's mom is in this list, as well.) God love ya. Also, the entire cast of Joysey Shore. Even though it's been a while I can't forget to give a shout out to the Hills Cast, that crazy mouthed Ali Lutz in particular. Ugh I just feel like I am forgetting someone. Oh yes, high school students, of course! The douche bags especially. And last but not least, Mark Zuckerberg. Ol' Zucky as I like to call him. I don't even want to think where I would be today if he hadn't stolen the idea for Facebook. I know I say this a lot but I just don't think people truly understand the importance of this network. Of the mini feed. Of statuses. Of wall posts. Before Facebook we were only able to communicate with our loved ones who had passed via dreams and prayers, it just seems so old fashioned to me now. The only way people could see the new mini dress I bought from the Deb was to actually see me wearing it in person at Brothers. No way for me to tell people I am going to the gym today, then tanning, then pedi then drinking heavily tonight with my girls woo woo. And what about vacations? Did we really used to vacay without telling everyone? I don't think so. And now I've gone off on a tangent again. I guess what I just want to say is thanks Zucky. Thanks for eliminating that whole pesky notion of real life people interaction.
But on a more somber note, I learned yesterday on our monthly conference call that there have been a few very serious changes within our company. So sadly, today isn't all celebrations. Thanks to the government and a little notion about equal education, or a movement regarding for profit schools, I don't know actually- I wasn't paying that much attention. But anyway, because of this government act our company is going to be greatly affected as soon as it is officially underway. Affected so much so, that our boss told us yesterday company awards are no more. That's right. No more internal awards. I'm devastated. I'm angry. But most of all, I'm just sad. It's like the award I got this year was just a little teaser. Just a simple crystal paper weight shaped like a culinary knife with my initials to taunt me that I won't have the chance to win another. I'll never have the opportunity to work my way up toward getting the prestigious chef jacket shaped paper weight, that is after all, what everyone is truly working for. It just kinda ruins my spirit I guess. If I can't get recognized once a year for five seconds by individuals I see but three times a year, well then how in the hell am I supposed to keep myself motivated? Chris told me this is always how it starts. This is the forewarning of a company about to go under. First it's just the awards, then it's the jobs. It's a scary thought. Then again, I could go for a little break for a while. My GRA isn't quite here (goal retirement age) it's actually 32. But, hells, sometimes you just gotta go with the flow, right?
So I hope you all celebrate with me and my 200th post. I double dog dare ya to become an "official follower" if you're not, especially if you've come up to me drunk downtown and say you read. I won't judge.
