Rollercoaster Kind of Life

This last week has been a roller coaster of emotions. Just professionally, personally I am fine so I've got that going for me. Good news: I got the promotion I've been waiting for, it's only been a year!  Bad news: I know I'm barely out of college but it would be wonderful if other people stopped pretending they knew what was best for me.  Particularly people in departments that rhyme...well nothing rhymes with HR so there goes that.
Sigh.

I'm attempting to keep my Lenten resolution of staying positive even when it's not easy. Breathe in, breathe out.

Say a prayer for me, this is supposed to be a happy time!

WEEEEEE

Totally Unnecessary and a Little Newsworthy

I largely support the medical community.  Whether it's cancer research or putting mascara on little bunnies (joke!) I take great interest in the daily leaps and successes of continued medical advancement.

Today my insightful and amazing friend Jen sent me a blog article about vodka in pill form.  This article is from the original source, The Times of India.  Whoa, what?  As the blog author put it, "...a powdered form of alcohol that will soon make the consumption of vodka more convenient."  Oh good, dropping 1.5 ounces down my throat then slamming the shot glass on the bar was way too intrusive.

 “Dry” vodka can be wrapped in paper and carried around in a pocket or a bag. Vodka in form of a pill would come handy at parties when “consumers” would be able to calculate their exact required dosage." - Times of India

Leave it to Russian scientists, facing the disbandment of their Soviet labs, to create a catalyst that can only fuel Russia's drankin' problem.  For the rest of us, we must rejoice.  Now we can sneak vodka pills (which I imagine in packaging similar to that of Mentos) to dive bars, company picnics and family reunions.

I can only think of Mean Girls at a time like this.  Specifically the scene where Tim Meadows' character, high school principal Mr. Duvall, questions Ms. Norbury's class about false drug accusations.  If you haven't seen it, shame on you.  The exquisite Tina Fey plays Ms. Norbury after all.  (Girl crush alert!) 

Mr. Duvall: Has your teacher ever tried to sell you marijuana tablets?
Token brown kid, Kevin G: What are marijuana tablets?

Come all, let us rave.
