Mrs. Sisyphus

My week, now that I'm back to work:
(Yes, I know I need to lay off of the steroids.)

I'm not abandoning you, I'm just busy:
  • working
  • working
  • working
  • managing stress and a hobbled back
  • working
  • working
  • misdirecting my stress at the Mr.
  • wishing I wasn't working
and...
  • working.
I miss you, and if I were there I'd give you a big, sloppy tongue kiss and a nice pat on the bum. Then I might try to hump your leg, but that's neither here nor there.

XO

So how weird of me is it that I dig the pic of you in the eye patch?

So that's something new I found out about myself today.

Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein said...

So tell me, are you back to work yet?

Jeannie said...

Ok, so we know you don't like to work, but do you like your job?

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

JUST a pat on the bum?

Suze said...

You can misdirect your stress at my Mr. if you'd like. I haven't had much stress lately and I don't like him to get too comfortable :)

EmBee said...

I hate it when work gets in the way of leg humping.

WendyB said...

Down, girl! Down!

John said...

I'm not abandoning YOU either, my bleedin' pirate wench; I'm just WORKING, WORKING, WORKIN, WORKING, WORKING too!

BUT - I DID take time to visit the pirate name generator on your behalf and from now on when you fly the Jolly Roger, you shall be deemed, "Navigatin' Faith Dagger!"

Which is sort of appropriate for you I guess, since you seem to have a fondness for cuttin' yourself (and possibly other scallywags)...though for some reason I thought you had a lousy sense of direction... : )

John said...

...which may be why you're always cuttin' yourself.

Now it makes sense.

John said...

BTW, I'm "Pirate Barney The Infected."

I'd stay away from me if I were you.

I'm done now.

Seriously.

Whiskeymarie said...

Benny- I'll try to work it into my wardrobe more often, just for you.

Monkey- No, no I'm not.

Jeannie- I DO like my job quite a bit. The hours are fabulous, the perks are great, and I get to be sort of creative. I just hate having to work in general.

Cal- I'll give you a lttle pinch as well, since you asked.

Suze- Yay!! My Mr. will be thrilled. I went off on him this week about (of all things) the dog's poop schedule. I think I need Xanax.

Embee- If it were up to me it would be all humping, all the time.

Lol- Thanks- I've been working out.

WendyB- You're such a humper-hater. Maybe I could just sniff your butt then?

John- I'm envisioning that "Pirate Barney the Infected" would have both a case of crabs and raging syphilis. But in a good way.
;)

Countess said...

If its neither here nor there, you're not doing it right.

Keith said...

There is always the intimate time that you and the Mr. can share as you and he walk back down the hill to get your rock each day.

Just a suggestion ...

Gwen said...

Sisyphus earned his fate by being a complete jerkhole which makes me wonder what you've done to deserve yours? Are you pulling the wings off of flies again?

Unindicted Co-Conspirator said...

I always liked that Camus' essay ends with: Still, one must imagine Sysiphus happy. Actually, it always pissed me off. At least Sysiphus had a break once in a while from rolling the stone up hill. Work is all rolling up without the rolling down.

Beth said...

Yikes! I start a new job tomorrow, after being on the hunt for 4 months! I have a feeling I might end up much the same as you...

...may all the blogs survive!

WM said...

You: stressed , working your arse of and have hobbled back.

Me: stressed , working mine arse off and have a bunyon riddled foot.

Damn it sucks to be old (er)

Jon said...

Did you know that Baltimore is the Sisyphus capital of the U.S.? Oh wait, that's Syphilis. Never mind...

Gloriana Beausoleil said...

Sept. 7: Miss you, Whiskeygirl!

Kate said...

I hope you're coming up for air soon! I'm guessing you're doing what I'm doing, which is cramming the last of summer and a new semester into one. Busy.

Hey! My Old Germans turned out pretty good. They're really tangy and don't turn sweet unless salted - is that how yours were?

Brillig said...

Oh. Mygosh. Laughing my head off. Hope things ease up soon.

Rebecca said...

I THINK I have just tried to friend you on facebook. Is totally bizarre - was looking for you on facebook - as whiskey Marie - and then facebook suggested a friend (with a totally different name) and I'm SURE it's you. Is it? Was it? Is this comment completely incomprehensible?

Failcooks said...

Have you abandoned us forever? Say it ain't so. . .

Renaissance Woman said...

I miss you too...work is always getting in the way of writing and reading blogs. Hope you are well and that we will see each other soon.
