LOL...

it's so wrong on so many levels

good grief....

i have SOOOoooo neglected this - no posting since december, and then i gotget to log into my picture host and THAT was deleted... shit!

so....this weekend, i have to resolve this issue. And get with it!

LET IT SNOW.....LET IT SNOW..... LET IT SNOW!!!!!!!!

omg! mother nature is at it again, and we are getting pelted. this is what it looked like last night out my front door ....
And we are getting more this afternoon & evening. I have all the essentials- food,tp & booze. LOL






Oh, and a fun quiz to take - WOO-HOO!

MERRY CHRISTMAS And may you all have a wonderfull day - i am still digging out after the holiday blizzard of 2006 and now i must go cook ! talk with you later

Happy Halloween! From me & Barnabas Collins

my favorite time of year. I haven't posted alot as of late - i got rather ill right after the last time i posted - then i tried to quit smoking- well, i fell of that bandwagon hard. And i swear, it's been one thing after another - work stuff, home stuff, work shit, home shit - teens who wont do their work at school, and then teens who drop collage classes and forget to tell me.... but at least he does his work at home! Yeah.... if he wants thecar and some mulah to put gas in za car!

And then the shit at work - dealing with new people who don;t like being told what to do...well tough shit. Ibeen there 3 years, i believe i have something to say! Although, that deal is getting better.


Ahhh, Angelique - i do believe i need to channel abit of your stedfast yet classy & haughty bitchyness. I know work will continue to improve, it's just getting there without stressing out so much. THAT certainly has to stop!!

OOOooo i have had the cutest trick-o-treaters! A ninja Turtle just came to the door - and he said he was 4 yrs old - gotta love it. Oh, and Gengis Kahn was here too.



SO , the hardest part on some sence has been going from one boss to the next - i went from high intensity to wayyyyy laid back. Now one would think that is an easy transition, but OMG! i do like the laid back version, but it has taken abit of getting used to. His key phrase - "RELAX!"

Sigh...the best part of the last month has certainly been dealing with my husband. Yeah, i know that sounds strange - and even since we've been sick together, it really all boils down to just great sex.[ thanks dear ] Yeah, we still do it after all these years. I say that because alot of my other friends who are married and female aren't having any- and by choice! OMG! strange....strange.... and yet, they think "I" am strange for not only wanting it but having it! They say i am too old! OMG! hey, 43 is not too old to get it on. HELLO!!!

aha! dinner has arrived...so i am off, to watch more horror films and enjoy my evening. To all A wonderfull All Hallows Eve

But WHat Would Constantine Say.....?

so my youngest got seriously grounded the other day. Brought home a note from the school that he is failing 2 grades Yeah, the grades are in progress, but it still isn't kosher. So privliges are taken away and we have a serious talk. I take in mind his learning disability, but it isn't an excuse for not doing work in class or not turning it in!

Soooo....

he comes home today with 4 papers.... all A's. Gotta luv it. And as i am reading thru them, i am so proud of his effort. And then i get to the paper on Europe in the middle ages. They are studying Charlemagne. And I'm thinkin, wow...he did really good...and then i get to the last question-

How did Charlemagne strengthen his empire through cooperation? and his answer was.....

"He was a nice guy"


LMAO

kids...ya gotta luv 'em!

Coconut Rum & Grapefruit Juice

and let me tell you...it tastes goooood. I am so glad it's friday. seriously. I know it seems standard to say, but it has been a stressfull week, and my back is feeling so much better, and i have let go some bs at work and dammit tgif!
Although, i like my mothers version of being happy about thursday...

SHIT = sure happy it's thursday....

And in the interest of what i found interesting this week

paris hilton is and always shall be in my mind of figment of her imagination and i am SO tired of news about her

tom cruise is just fucking wierd...still

it blows my mind that mattel is un veiling a new tickle me elmo....i want to see them bring in oscar the grouch! now were talkin...

a story over at yahoo talked about how the dutch are the worlds tallest people. OMG...they strike again! it seems every time i turn around i see/hear a story about the dutch...inventing the word 'fuck' being great engineers, several other things and now this! ok...ok...it's only because i live with one... and he delights in hearing these things [ dutch/german/french ancestry ]

and last but not least.... to the few young people who are ruining every other young persons rep by acting like an ASS or a spoiled BITCH or 'what-evahr' not likeing being told what to do for the sake of their JOB....GET OVER YOURSELF and stop ruing it for the rest of them. GROW UP or at least behave...
you stupid putzez...

gosh i feel better

I am Thinking Evil.......

omg... so much since my last post- the worst indigestion of my life..... asthma problems....going for a physical with a new Dr....upper back pulled from sleeping on two pillows wrong...and coping with work. OMG! Now all is well with everything mentioned but i am still getting my muscles worked out, but what i really need to do is rant about work. i know.... everyone does it, but do they really mean it? and as a mentor of mine said to me today- we all need a good rant; It's healthy.

So, i go into work with a bad attitude to begin with- somethign screwed up and i have to fix it and it's a booger. Oh, and there is an end of month deadline. Well, we have temps in the office and for the most part they are doing good with one exception - and i have addressed it several times, to seemingly no avail because today i was told "i hound & treat this person like a child"
OMG....

well gee, if you would have stopped doing what i asked you to stop the FIRST TIME and if you would STEP IT UP like i have asked you...maybe it wouldn't seem like you were being hounded!!! And maybe.... just maybe if you didn't ACT like a child you would feel like you were being treated like one.

People - it's tough to be in charge - i have only done this for 2 months, it's a learning curve. But also i have to be the bad guy at times...and sometimes you just aren't going to like what i ahve to say. Don't take it too personl, it's business.
GET OVER IT!

And go take a minute, and have a nice hard long look at yourself and ask yourself WHY the person said what they did..... and you may just have your answer

oh sure, my initial approach may not have been the best, and i did apologize for that, but it coulda been worse.

LOL...now we'll just have to see what they do for the next couple of weeks. And i am thanking the Gods that MY supervisor has my back.

:::: thank you thank you thank you :::::

feeling rather aweful today- came home from work with a migraine/sinus headache....not good for doing computer work. So i am going to rest.... because i have class all day tomorrow, and then it's the weekend...yeah

Happy Birthday to me....Happy Birthday to me....I'll post after i party...Happy Birthday to me!

Working with Access is What?...

It's a bitch i tell ya! a bitch! This is what my face must have looked like when i thought i had it all together, imported files, structured them, then tried to append them and then POOF! i did something wrong. Then i delete the wrong fricken file.... and cause a mild panic, but then got it straight, all just to start working in access all over again in the morning.

Bleh! Although, i guess in a weird way, it's fun to work in....but when it works right. LOL

i know, i'm so wierd.

ok...time for The Closer. God i love that one guy...Det. Andy Flynn. hot hot hot

One of Those Days...
Well, here i am.I promised myself i would post, because i have missed blogging. It's mainly for myself ( doi ) and the ego in me so enjoys sharing. But in any event, i ahve alot ot share/get off my chest, so here goes.

Where have i been all this time?

well, as i have said before, i do a temp gig for a job that lasts for 6 months out of the year. For 2 yrs i have been trying to get on permanent. I started in March and if anyone has ever watched The Office, that is alot what my life is like at work. Oh i enjoy it, but it does get to be like a soap opera at times. There has been a changing of the guards if you will in the office; the good part is some people have quit, and some were fired; the bad part is that the rest moved to other quarters and it was hard to see them go. The best part is i FINALLY made permanent. ::: loud thunderous applaus ::: it has been a hard fight, with lot's of meetings and ass kissing, but worth it. I do good work. The hard part yet ironically facinating is that i have had to learn a shit load of supervisor work in a very short space of time, and therfore have had to lead the other 5 in the office in doing our job correctly. I guess it would be safe to say i feel like the executive secretary to the new supervisor. Don't have the better title yet i should have, but that will come in time. It's been tough and time consuming.
Now for the part that has just chapped my ass for the last month & a half-
problem employee Yes, we all know one. You may even be one! How have i dealt with you? Well, first off, I am a nice person. I strive to befair, yet tough when needed. I am a good listener but i am exacting. I can be your best friend or your worst nightmare :: with a smile :: Your Choice. This particular person i was told from day 1 was GREAT! a SUPER worker! they ROCK! well..... then the air freshener wore off and she started to stink. I took the Godfather approach ; it's nothing personal, just business. And lead by example. Which i must say I have done very well.
Problem? always late. cheated on records. Got calls from clients who say she bullied them for information and they weren't even the client.She lied to me, alot. But the one that irritated me was being late. Yep...i know, seems so small really. But hey, i don;t care if you are a temp ( which she was ) or a regular- BE ON TIME! especially when one is paid $15 an hour! beontime-beontime-beontime. I asked, very nicely what was up- is there anything wrong. Oh i got the usual no...nothing wrong. Or i had stuff to attend too...or nothing at all, a phone call stating they would be in later. It got to the point where me and another co-worker made bets as to whether we'd get a call, or when the phone rang if it would be her. Yea, it's her money/time/stupidity. She's makin the whole of young people under 25 look bad....but still, beontime-beontime-beontime. Oh, did i mention the cellphone use? OMG!
Well, being the anal retentive soul i am, i keep track. Of everyone. What they do, and what we all are getting done. It's my job. And I had poetic justice on Friday- I walked into my supervisors office and stated she had called again, to be in later...no reason given, and said hey, this has gone on long enough, and we need to cut her loose. Please give me permission to call her and say Buh Bye. And so folks-
I had my first experiance in "letting someone go". YOU'RE FIRED MCFLY! And it felt sooooooooooooooooo good. Adios sister- I was not really your friend, you are rather likeable, but in business i couldn;t stand you or your work eithic. BUH BYE!

And so now, work life will move on....I will continue to do my job, and do it well. I will continue to learn supervisor work to move on and up. Yes, I know i will meet these types again....but one thing for sure, i will be able to weed them out before they get too far and when the time comes when i am top banana, I will be a good boss...an exacting one...and wont have to ask anyone to tell 'em hit the road buster!

ok...now, what else have i been doing? Hmmm.... oldest son learns to finally drive at 19 in June- youngest paddywan is finally taller than me in July, Parents were here for 2 week vacation in May, dyed my hair my normal brown/red to get rid of silver but leave white stripe in June, become a Grt Aunt again in June and will again in October, { sisters children are breeding like rabbits } paid off washer in July, husband buys new lawn mower in August. WHEW! damn, i know i am forgetting something.

Today....well, last nioght my husband and i planned on having a great sex review in our own bedroom. He is waiting for me to finish html work from hell- i finish, tell him, and he is still watching band of Brothers on t.v.; well, after i brush teeth and then walk right by him and he is STILL doing something else, i delcare i am heading to bed! it's almost midnight and i am so tired my night of sexual debauchery with him may not happen. So then he gets all pissed telling me he's waiting for ME that we get into quite the nasty argument. he's stomping, throwing flashlights and i ask why the hell he's so frustrated!? And then when all gets said and done { he wasn't paying attention } i go out to the living room to turn off the t.v., and it won't shut down. It does this from time to time. We have a DVR, and it gets pouty. After 15 min...i went to bed. Figured it would resolve itself. Well..in hindsight, i could/should have gone to get my husband. I didn't. He was still pissy and it's always best to just leave him ALONE.I did. So when morning comes, i tell him what happened....and OMG did all hell break loose. He got it working again, but it erased ALOT of prgramming we had saved....and had yet to put on a disk. And i got yelled at all over again, and now he is making my life hell because of it.
I look at it this way-
i am sorry
didn't do it on purpose
didn't tell him last night because i was upset and didn;t want to further irritate him by talking to him when he's in that mood
i can't change it
IT ISN'T LIFE OR DEATH THAT THOSE SHOWS ARE FUCKING GONE
and my personal fav, one he always advocates-
GET OVER IT
I know he is upset, and i sympathize ::did i spell that right?::: i lost things too- but i try to look at the bigger picture, and you know what? in the end of things, it just doesn't matter. It isn't a priority to the point that i will lose money or my life over it. He hasn't spoken to me all day, i will more than likely walk to the train and back from work all week, and who knows what other childish ways to punish me he;ll come up with. Besides never letting me forget it. Sigh....been a painfull day today.

But i do so feel better getting it all off nmy chest. :)

O-M-G....
she posts....she changes the look....and she is so fricken eye tired it aint funny.
So tomorrow, i will rant about what has been bothering me lately.

people who lie
useless co-workers
trash
and all the rest of it

i sure missed blogging!

see ya tomorrow

And Now For Something Completely Different...

a post! and it seems from my habits of late, it's month to month! LOL.... not that alot of folks read it- a few, and i am gratefull for that. But mainly it is an outlet for me....

So, work is going abit better of late. 2 people have now left, and I may get that darn job yet. So keep your fingers crossed.

My parents are comming to town next week, so that means i am cleaning...alot. I must confess, yet again, that i am a slob. I am not one of those neet & tidy everything in it's place all the time people. Now my husband is. Oh yeah... it makes for some interesting arguments to say the least. And bless his ever livin heart, he is a patient saint. Now don't get me wrong, i know how to clean...and there are certain things i tend to be very picky about and do keep clean...like the bathroom & kitchen. But i am the queen of stack&pile. I did get quite abit done today, but alas, there will more to do tomorrow.

So, how are your allegies lately? I am thinking mine go in 10 yr cycles. i had the owrst allegy/asthma attack 2 weeks ago today, and let me tell you- it's been hell! I so do not want to repeat that. Mine was a result of raking dead leaves,dirt, moldy garden parts and weeds. It screwed with my sinuses as well. I don;t usually do what others do...no sneezing, no watery eyes, no post nasal drip.... this is were the 10 yr cycle hits me, in the head/sinus area. It is like the gobi desert...dry and no movemnt My asmtha is low on the scale of things, but i had to go the doc, and ratchett up my meds, and bought a humidifier to get the other swelling down. I like to breathe....

So now i am breathing better.... i am starting to feel moisterized...i think it would take a month straight of running the thing to get my house to be not so dry, and am feeling oh so much better.

you must go see this site...i may have posted it before, but it's always worth a look-

Cute Overload

Where Does The Time Go...?

to hell in hand basket for sure. Well, to anyone who knows, i am back at work as a temp....A-G-A-I-N. Now for one thing, it's a good thing- money in my pocket. But the other half is, i have been trying to get on full time, and i almost made it last december, but it was given to another ( i had better scores ) and NOW the other person is thinking of qitting...and then there is no guarentee "I" will get it or anyone else.

it's a mess.

things are-a-changin

and who knows what will happen when the dust settles.

Sigh....

it's been a real grind this time, and right now, i just don;t feel like talking about it. Maybe later

Other than that, my home life is good.
We FINALLY have finished the kitchen project from hell, and just need to fine tune some painting and it will be all done. I am beginning to believe that those who enjoy remodling and/or projects like stripping paint from furniture are masochists. OMG! i could not do it for a living. Pure un-mittigated hell.
Painting a room is one thing, but stripping old paint & varnish and re-doing the varnish....i would rather clean an out house. UHG!

Sigh, and besides getting it done and spending quality time with my husabdn, i have got to thank Robert for giving me pure joy; he popped my back the other day. OHHhhh was that bliss. And let me tell you, it popped all the way down. GAWD did that feel good.
You ought to try it sometime.

and now, I am going to go eat....

so nice to see you- takl to you all later
