« April 2006 | Main | June 2006 » May 30, 2006DVD HuntI joined Columbia House DVD club last week. I am trying to upgrade all my VHS movies to DVDs. I've got about half of them done so far. It's going to take a while since I have over 100 movies left. Even at $10 each that would be about $1000 bucks. *shudders* If they come out with something else to improve DVDs I'm going to scream.
[keywords: Movies DVDs] May 24, 2006Friends and GossipJake and I got together with one of my old coworkers last Friday for dinner and gossip. It was good to see her again. It's funny how I gripe about my job, and yet are able to meet all kinds of nice people because of it. We went to Marie Callendars and I totally blew my die.. err.... new eating habits. From there we went to her house for wine and chatted until the wee hours of the morning. I didn't want to drive right after drinking so it was perfect. It was really nice to get away from the computer for a while, even if I did feel like I was cheating. :P
[keywords: Friends gossip dinner] May 20, 2006Avast!I am dying to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. My only reservation is that they are making a third one at the same time. That can only mean one thing: A fucking cliffhanger. I loathe cliffhangers. I want to see what happens NOW! When Kill Bill Part ONE came out we waited until Part TWO was about to be released to watch it. No way was I going to be left hanging. Now I'm left with a huge decision: See this movie when it comes out or wait until the third installment is almost ready. Watch this video. What would YOU do?
[keywords: Movies video Pirates-of-the-Caribbean] May 18, 2006Dueling DoorsI don't understand why people can't think past themselves. I walked to the car yesterday morning and noticed my neighbor had parked too far over again. There still seemed to be enough room until I opened the door. The side view mirrors clicked and left enough room for an anorexic midget to fit through. Maybe.... I tried everything. Short of cutting my tits off there was no way I was fitting through that slot. I decided to be swift and climb through the back door. As I shut the door and sat in the back seat like a child waiting for her mom to finish shopping the neighbor came down. I felt like such an ass. I tried climbing over the seat only to hook my foot underneath and fall forward. I slowly climbed BACK into the rear seat and yelled that I couldn't get through the front. I opened the door and it swung forward, hitting her new car. Shit. After babbling like a child I just closed the door and sat there... waiting for her to leave so I could regain some of my dignity and get into the front seat. Yeppers, a great way to start the day. On the bright side I pulled into the garage last night and noticed she left enough room for a circus elephant to get in.
[keywords: blonde car neighbor parking] May 16, 2006Early Morning GripingI don't get it. I go to bed at 8:30pm and still feel like shit when I wake up at 5:30am. I just think we're not meant to get up that early. Period. I take multivitimins, plus an extra B12 and still move like the dead. I don't even want to think about that 'I'm just getting old' mind set, either. I loathe when people start talking like that. You might as well plop yourself in a rocker and drink prune juice all day. My new friend from SU, Joepa, seems to be burning the candle at both ends every night and still manages to drag his ass to work and be productive. When I took those classes on Thursday nights I thought I was going to die Friday morning. I used to have so much fun.... *sigh* Time for another change. Soon... Soon...
[keywords: Health Friends sleep] May 12, 2006Things That Go Burp in the NightLast night was fun. I crashed out early, wanting to ready myself for today. My boss has been out for two days and is sure to be on the lurk for any little thing. Jake crawled into bed sometime around midnight. I awoke to the bed shaking. At first I thought it was an earthquake. When it happened again I realized it was something worse. Jake had the hiccups. What's worse was the smell that was flowing through our apartment. I jumped up and went for the kitchen, thinking he had left something on the stove. Nope. It was something he cooked and ate. Ew. It smelled rancid. After putting a layer of air freshner in every room I went back to bed. He hiccuped, I bitched. Finally I made him get up to try the usual remedies that work for me. He refused to do them correctly and then insisted they didn't work. I even went online to look up remedies. They were that bad. After teaspoons of sugar, a huge glass of water and me trying to scare him the hiccups remained. He refused to try anything else so I went to bed. He followed. A minute later he was on the couch. After twenty minutes of the cats jumping on me I was back to sleep. I woke up about 1:15am and went to check on him. No more hiccups, thank G-d. I woke him up and told him to come to bed. Thirty minutes after that I started hearing a high pitch whining sound coming from him. I wanted to scream. I started pushing him, telling him to go blow his nose. The fucker refused. No way was I going to listen to that all night. I took both hands and feet and pushed him to the edge of the bed. "Go blower yer nose!" I couldn't believe this was happening. He's such an ass when he's sleepy. Finally he listened and I fell asleep. Three hours later I am up to start the day and my energy is shot. I would love to call in, but know it will be a nail in my coffin if I do. I'm sending this to all my single friends who whine about how bad they want to be in a relationship. :P
[keywords: boyfriend jake sleeping hiccups] May 10, 2006That's Nice... NOW WORK!The two new girls that work our department have finally lost their 'new person' shine and are showing their less than attractive quirks. I really like them, so I'm hoping the boss' claim to be able to 'whip them into shape' is true. The first gal doesn't want to write down notes... ever. So now we're learning about all the mistakes she's done because she didn't listen to directions. She's really pushy, which threw me off at first. Now I just tell her to calm down and it breaks the steam engine that is her personality down. The second gal is a worldwind of gab. I'm amazed she finds time to breathe. I adore her sweetness but the energery that girl kicks out is tiring. Unfortunately she sits next to the ladies in the next department who love to chat and it's going to get her into trouble. She also seems to forget how to do things, and that's wearing thin on the boss' nerves. REAL thin. Yesterday the bossasked me to show her how to do something AGAIN because if she showed her she'd start yelling. She also caught her painting her nails. There is no way you can be slow enough to paint nails during work hours at this job. When I found out the information I had been begging people to enter into the computer was sitting on her desk I wanted to cry. She doesn't understand the idea of time limits and urgencies. Oy... Yesterday I went through April stats to get a head start on it. They fucked up on so much stuff... today I plan on having a long meeting with the boss. She keeps saying how she has someone check their work and yet it's not being checked. My daily reports for them are going to be one hundred pages long just so they can check everything. The next step is to hire people to sit next to them and point what to do.
[keywords: Work stress coworkers] May 07, 2006Oh Well... Guess I'll Do Some CleaningWhat is up with everything being down on the web today? I woke up feeling like crap and tried SU. Down. I clicked on my Motherload game. Down. I went to lay down for a while and just got up. I tried them again. and got nothing. It's now 2:30 PM and they're BOTH still down. *grumbles* I don't feel well enough to do anything else. Well... except for complain.
[keywords: sick weekend SU Motherboard] May 05, 2006It's Over? Thank G-d!Today was a test of my inner strength. We were swamped with projects and all I could think about was going home and having an enjoyable evening with :jake:. My boss was in a good mood and even drove to get the Cinco de Mayo food from El Pollo Loco. I think that's what kept me sane enough to make it. If she had been in one of her 'moods' I think I would have been looking for a job. Seriously. All I want to do is kick back and relax this weekend. Chat with people on and off but for the most part get away from it all. As of 5 O'Clock the world ceased to exist as we know it. Now it's just me, Jake and the cats... getting ready to drink some Don Julio tequila and watch a flick or two. Not the cats. They're not allowed to drink. :p
[keywords: Work stress weekend] May 03, 2006I'm So RudeAt least I feel that way. is a blast to use and I've met some really nice people there. I've also had some annoying people hit on me, which I pretty much ignored. It's the people who aren't quite blatant about it are the ones that are hard to deal with. I have one guy who keeps sending me messages to be my friend. We're talking multiple times a day. I said hello once before looking at his profile. "I'm interested in making friends of different cultures/religion so that I'll know more about the different cultures/religions. I'm more interested in girls/women." Of course you are, big guy. He hasn't even used SU to rate any sites, and he's added 86 people to his "Friends" list and they're all women. Well, except Joepa. But his avatar is a pair of tits so I don't think the guy knows it yet. I don't want to be mean, which is why I haven't responded yet. I've had a few others who contacted me who list their relationship status as "Open Marriage". WTF!?! I don't even touch those messages with a ten foot pole. Why take vows if you're still going to fool around? It's like you're still dating, but with all the tax breaks.
[keywords: Friends stumble-upon SU] May 01, 2006The (not so) Incredible Shrinking WomanSo I lost five pounds. I chugged 16 to 20 glasses of water a day, cut down on my carbs, traded in my condiments for low cal shit and started exercising (kinda sorta maybe when I'm in the mood). It's been the first time in a while that I really tried to lose weight so it felt good to actually succeed. Plus we're eating better and feeling better. They say it takes thirty days to change a habit. So I have about seven days left of feeling hungry and cranky. I hope.
