What's up with all the drama? Is it the religious holidays or just that time of the month? Either way my patience is wearing thin... REAL thin. Some woman semi-stalks my friend who was married to her ex husband (a complete loser) for a short while and now I have to deal with possibly booting her ass. Meanwhile the woman decides to show up on NoChickTrix while my friend is off having a great time on her honeymoon. I'm going to have to cool my heels until she returns, which I am horrible at doing. I just want to get this over with before it gets stupid.

Update: Okay, so my PMS got the bet of me and I seemed to have had a raging bitch-fest. The woman was nice enough not to post until my friend returned so it's all good. Gah! I should just take PMS weeks off.

I got an email the other day asking to either give credit or remove a post. She gave a snarky remark about me being in 'bad taste' by not giving her credit. I clicked on the link she provided and was sent back in time. Back to 2003... when the thread was created. This shit wasn't even current. I don't post things without giving credit so I was pretty miffed. In the FIRST line of the thread I stated that it was something I found on MSN. You know, one of those life style posts that people send their work in to be published. It was so old that the link was no longer valid. I also placed the 'meat' of the post in quotes. The reason is that a lot of threads go dead fast and I wanted some referrence kept. Considering it was so old I simply removed the quoted bit, but kept the referrence to the dead link so she could she there was credit given. It wasn't good enough. Apparently she thought her name should have been there. Oh give me a break. I quote parts of news articles all the time and link back to the source: the website I got it from. It's not like I'm quoting from some book. These websites (MSN, CNN, Local news stations, etc...) PAY people for their articles. They want recognition? Write a fucking novel. Bah! I'm done...

Another site dropped NoChickTrix from their referrers. Either that or I'm not showing because I'm not sending them enough hits. It's a porn site so the traffic is usually hit and run anyway. Part of me wants to just delete the adult section (minus the humor) and be done with it. The site will be slow but any hits will be for the content and not the photos. Ah content, that's where it gets tricky. Lately I've been sticking to my private blog (here) and posting news stories on Imeem. It's like NoChickTrix has a little less of me every day and it kills me to think about it. My mind is swirling with ideas, some good and some not so much. What started out as a place for me to rant to the world ended up being news links and a forum for people to chit chat. Nothing too deep, nothing too hot topic. Whenever the meat of the discussion gets going someone has to get their feelings hurt and I have to make a choice: Step in or let it ride. Lately I've been letting it ride. I long for the days where it was alive with content from the members and not just me and Jake Now those days are pleasant surprises instead of the norm. That's not the way a forum is supposed to work. I've been thinking about ways to make it better, or at least less a burden. Just posting news links without a rant is one. Finding someone to help with the rants is another. It can't keep going like this. At this rate it's going to turn into a quiet place where the Admin's name sits and waits... while doing everything else but be on the board. Members there in username only, not in heart. I'll shut it down before it gets to that... If only I knew what the final hint will be.

My weekends are flying by lately. I blink and it's Sunday evening again. My evenings during the week are practically non-existant. I hope it slows down soon. I spent this weekend uploading a ton of humor pictures for the NoChickTrix gallery. The funny part is that it was only one section. I have so many pictures saved for the site. Sometimes I just want to delete them all and start all over. I can see it now... Three months later and over 3 gigs of NEW pictures to go through. Is there a Packrat Anonymous group I can sign up with?

My boss made sure I had too much to do on friday. At least I finished it all and added a new report just for good measure. My coworker also approached me and told me that she's looking for a new job. She said that she knew they were going to lay her off just by how my boss was acting and even if she wasn't laid off she didn't want to drive all the extra miles to the new jobsite. Then she cried. *sigh*

I was feeling bad for her until she mentioned that she was leaving early to board her 3 purebred animals before leaving for her vacation. Personally, I would have called off the trip and saved my money... but that's just me. It's very hard to talk to someone who's complaining about their money woes when you know they're spending habits.

By the way... 1,014 people found my NCT site searching for Brianna Banks. Porn rules the internet!
