Ola!

March has been a long, strange, and DEPRESSING. It's a long month, but, at least it's almost over. I hope April turns out better. I hope the rain will just stop, and Spring will be sunny! I would really like to plant the little flowers I bought Monday. It's Thursday already, and I haven't had a chance to plant them in the ground!

It's been slow at work. The only time I seem busy is when I take a day off and then come back. Maybe it's just that I am getting bored with this place. The thrill is gone. Oh hum. I'd rather plant my little flowers in the ground right now instead. Well, at least I can write a little blog and get paid for doing it. Where else can you get away with that? I'm actually being PAID as I write this! Oh my God--I'm a PAID WRITER!!! Yooohooo! What am I really complaining about? Maybe it's because the atmosphere around here could be better. I need a big open window overlooking the beach---yeah, that is what I need. I am surrounded by lack of inspiration.

The other day was an exceptionally strange day at the office. The receptionist had to deal with someone who didn't want to talk to her through the hole in the window, but actually wanted to come inside the confines of her office. (It is a wonder she came to work today.) Then there was this crazy chick who was off her meds, rambling and rambling in a very high voice, and the wannabe Jesus guy walking around the halls repeating "The second sin...the second sin..." over and over again.

Did I mention that the sleazy guy at the Chevron was actually brushing his teeth at the cash register yesterday morning? Now who is he trying to impress?

While I was sitting here at my office, staring at the computer screen, I had this crazy and fantastic idea of a new job career. Coelha baskets! Yes, I could manufacter gift baskets from my home. I could make birthday, special occasion, anniversary, baby arrival, get well, even sympathy baskets at home and sell them over the internet and bring them to various floral stores or gift shops and sell them. I could have a major chain called "COELHA BASKETS" (BUNNY BASKETS). Ain't that cute, or what? Now, nobody steal my idea. The crazy people around me have inspired me. It's mine! Back off!
