The Sonia Show

Yeah, so, I didn’t see the elimination of rocker nurse Amanda on “American Idol” coming at all. That should make allebaram happy. In fact, my bottom three was waaay off. Oh well. Eh, what the hell do I know, right?

Sigh. I can’t believe I have listen to another week of Kristy.

So anyway, the higher-ups around here have become overly obsessed with people’s comings and goings. They have the receptionist keeping track of when everyone comes in and when they leave. Apparently, someone is bilking the company out of tens of dollars a year by coming in at 8:35 a.m. and leaving at 5:25 p.m. or something like that. Lame! It’s made some folks in the office very tense and grouchy. It’s ridiculous. How about treating people like grownups and trust them to do their jobs? If employees aren’t getting their shit done, I’m pretty sure it’s not because they rolled in at 8:35 a.m. and left at 5:25 p.m. I don’t need to worry. I always work eight hours (well, I’m here in the cube for eight hours anyway). Yesterday, I got stuck in traffic. I didn’t come in until 9:02 a.m. (the receptionist wrote it down), so I stayed until (no joke) 6:02 p.m. (but the receptionist wrote me out for 6:03 p.m. because she thought it would be funny). Seriously, my office is turning into “Office Space.”

Last night, Chris and I went grocery shopping. There was no food in my house and I went nuts and probably spent way more than I should have. Never go to the grocery store hungry. We had some very delicious spicy lamb with whole wheat pasta with a few glasses of wine for dinner. I just love having Chris around to cook for me. If he didn’t, I suspect I would eat cereal every night, because I’m lazy.

Michelle and I were just chatting about Captain Jackass. For a few weeks I've been joking about sending him job listings for Baghdad. Now, I've decided that he should get a job on a fishing boat and we could all pray for the perfect storm. Just an idea ...

I see tickets are on sale for the Doobie Brothers and Chicago at the Concord Pavilion. Anyone? Anyone? Oh Concord Pavilion, now called the Sleep Train Pavilion, I would love for you to take down the evil Shoreline, but with acts like that … well, you are making it unlikely. This concert venue spent so much money on renovations and it still rarely attracts big-name acts. I think Eddie Money is still opening and closing the season. Two tickets to, errr, paradise? Rush is playing there. Duran Duran is playing there, too. That would be big news 25 or 30 years ago. I must admit though, Chris and I are going to see The Police there, so, ummm, yeah …
