Not A G-Thing I can do

I can’t g-chat or I’ll get into g-trouble. (well now i can before i couldn't) What the g is that about? Well I g darn guess I could g tell you. My co-workers computer isn’t working the one that works in my office. So now the stupervisor is in my office doing…lets just say what she is doing is hilarious and a waste of time. BUT whatever.

Shall I explain further…sure why not. My co-workers computer has been showing up with this error for the past week. I kept trying to tell stupervisor to get it looked at. But she decided since when you hard shut down and re-started the error went away for a few days the computer was fine. Out of sight out of mind I suppose. Well now you can’t even start the computer. Our computer fixing guy went away on vacation for 2 weeks starting this week (hmmmmm if she would have listened to me last week he could have fixed it before he left). So now we either have to use his back-up (i.e. up charge) guy. Or call a totally different person. HA

So my stupervisor is now typing the error that shows up on the screen out on a laptop. Instead of doing what I suggested of taking a picture with the digital camera. (it would have been about 10 times faster.) Just to call or e-mail the IT person. HA. I am pretty sure that something is loose in the computer and that is why the error is coming up. Because years ago at my old job my PC tower used to be located in such a way that I would accidently kick it from time to time and I am pretty sure I would get the same error. My boyfriend (currently) was the IT guy but we weren’t dating yet he still covered me and just tighten the stuff up in it and told me to stop kicking it. But I am also lead to this conclusion b/c I am aware of a key piece of the puzzle that I would never tell my stupervisor…the PC tower was dropped. Oops and o’well.

So that is my morning so far. LOL meanwhile she finished typing it out and has yet to call anyone. Thank goodness it’s not my computer. Guess what? Its Thursday…Awesome!

Don't you love it when....

Something turns out better then you expected? When the world finally seems to be turning in your direction? Well i do. Not to curse anything but the project i have been crocheting is turning out quite nice. Also a side project i did as a surprise for the sis came out awesome! And that's all i can say about that since she is the main person who reads this. But don't worry I'm not leaving the surprise go too long she will get it soon. After all her birthday is coming up!

Tonight i am hoping to make turkey meat balls and visit my mom and ONE very cute and very kind caring young boy i have the pleasure of knowing! He is my maybe second cousin his name is Billy and he is such a sweetheart! When i get to see him or talk to him he brightens my day, heck even my week. His mom is really kind as well and so is his dad so i suppose that is where he gets it from! Anyways, i will also get to see the BEST MOM EVER EVER! I love her! :O)

The one problem in all this fun ness is i may have to be around the dog that makes me very sick. Don't get me wrong i like dogs but not when i react very sick face to them. O'well i guess you have to pay a price for all the fun ness.

The boyfriend took me to his magical bike shop last night. He failed to mention how he put a deposit on a 600$+ bike already. He maybe a little nutty but i still love him. The bikes were nice but I'm still of the stance that get a cheap one first see if you will ride it more then once in a lifetime then spend the money on the expensive one. BUT he is Mr. Buythebestsellitlaterifyouleaveittocollectdust! What can a person do? Kick em! LOL no kicking unfortunately does not solve everything.

So it's Wednesday and that's very nice! I like the sound of that! Have a good one on not me because I'm broke....but on someone rich.

A review for you

A long short weekend that is what I had. I woke up this morning…”it can’t be Monday! I’m not ready for Monday!!” But alas ladies and whoever else reads this it is Monday. (which is soccer day for which I’m on the fence…I want to play soccer don’t get me wrong but my brother in law is not being good to his body and the only way he will be stopped from playing the soccer is if it rains….dang catch 22!) So maybe I will get to play the soccer tonight and maybe I won’t. Also hopefully maybe perhaps my glasses will be ready tonight! Then I can read street signs and see things that are far away instead of just turning and hoping I went the right way!

Saturday was dance, dance, dance day! LOL two of my cousins had their dance recitals. They were good! My one cousin (the book lending cousin) had 7 dances in the one show! 7 dances, all different outfits! She looked super cute in all of them and she did very well! My other cousin did well as well and she looked cute in her little outfit. I went to the Promenade..the PROMENADE! LOL if you have been around my aunt at all she talks about the Promenade like it’s Disney or something. It is a nice strip mall but it’s an expensive shops. I did have a yummy pizza and a yummy mini cookie ice cream sandwich….and there was a candy store! CANDY! I love candy. So that was my Saturday.

Sunday I used a cream and it made my face numb for mostly the whole day. Oops. Other then that I went grocery shopping and bought snacks….and some real food too. But mostly snacks. I love snacks. I should have crocheted yesterday but I didn’t. Naughty topaz I know.

Anywho, I’m done you talk now.

What happens when left by me onesies!

A great way to offer people things that you really don’t want to share say…..”Would you like some of my Swine Flu _____ ?” Fill in the blank with whatever applies: cake, cookies, paper, ice cream, burrito, taco, chips…. You get the point. Not that I have put this in practice but I will in the future. (I know now I am going to get the Swine Flu so bad that I am going to die of it b/c I keep joking around about it…but I can’t help it ok….i have problems.)

So yesterday my co-worker and I went to lunch and she was wearing a coat that belongs to a guy she is staying with but doesn’t really want everyone to know she is staying with him. As we are getting ready to walk back into work she says to me “If anyone asks I stole this coat from him a long time ago and forgot to give it back to him when we broke up.” And I say “yeah like anyone is even going to care!” Well the 1st person we walk by starts commenting about her coat…..thanks for proving me wrong right away universe! Then a few other people commented on it after!! LOL I guess I gave too much credit to my fellow employees and the nature of their noses.

So I was a good girl the other night at the mall and I did not buy a bunch of stuff. Now only to continue to be a good girl and not go back to the mall! I suppose I forget how great the mall is when I stay away….i need to keep repeating to myself…..Crochet….crochet….crochet…..no shop….crochet…. shop…. sales….clothes…..stuff….i like stuff….i like stuff on sale…..i like stuff shopping….i need stuff….i use stuff….i wear clothes……stuff….stuff….must have stuff……wait….. Crochet….stay home and crochet….This will be so easy…..

So NO ONE is at work today! (ok by no one I mean sis and my friend who chat with me!) I’m glad it’s Friday and it was nice to see the sun for a whole 2 hours before it was hidden once again by bastard clouds of doom and gloom! And I being the optimistic type (ppffft) left my darn windows open. How sun…how am I supposed to get rid of my crazy tan before my friends wedding where I have to wear a strapless dress if you never stay out? I don’t want to go to a tanning place….ugh. I don’t even really want to be tan BUT I have these awesome strap tan lines from like the 2 times I was in my bathing suit this year! Damn you CA!

So what else can I ramble on and on about since I have one more hour up front until upfront girl comes in! I really hope we get out super early today instead of pretend early. Stupid pretend early! I guess I’ll know at lunch time b/c if we don’t get lunch that means we will get out early! YES! Keep those fingers crossed for me.

I have been thinking a lot about past relationships. Not just the lovey dovey ones but friendships as well. I know I do this often maybe too often but I suppose I can’t get over how things just disappear sometimes with no warning. How you’re just left with the memories. How does it happen? Maybe I’m thinking of one person or maybe I’m thinking about a whole mountain of people. Facebook makes it stranger b/c some of these people are your facebook friends and you see that they function just fine that there is no real reason they dropped off the face of the planet (in your world that is). Frustrating is just one word for it. I guess at some point you just have to let it go (but not before blaming them for everything! Come on now you didn’t think I was that mature did you? LOL).

Ok I guess I wasted enough of your time with my endless words. Have a good Friday and hey maybe the sun will come out for another 2 hours!

Money Troubles....

So this weekend was fun. Well parts of it were. Like the part where we went to my friends house and played Apples to Apples. It was super fun. Especially when played in our own sadistic way. Also seeing my family (minus some other people) was fun. Going for a walk on Sunday with my baby was fun. Crocheting is always fun.

Things that were un-fun….let us not go there.

SO anyways I was looking at my dismal finances and actually they aren’t as dismal….I may even get my credit cards paid off by October. Yes I will still owe money to my mom and to my boyfriend. BUT my car will also be paid off! Which means I can give my mom more money….and pay her off sooner! I know I bet I talk about this a lot but…ugh. I think about it 10 times more. I think of the glorious day I will stop paying interest for something I purchased over 7 years ago. (that would be the one credit card I have.) And to be honest if you have a shopping problem and you have someone you love and trust in your life enough to give them all your credit cards. Do it. My life has become like 90% better in the money part since I gave over my credit cards to my honey.

I pay in cash all the time and I really think about the things I buy instead of just buying shit b/c it’s A. Cheap or B. there! It’s amazing what a little thing can do. And when I tell people I don’t have the money it’s for real! Also if you have an awesome sister who will let you on her cell phone plan so you can stop bending over to the cell companies do it! Seriously I would be paying more then double what I currently do if it were not for her and her husband!

Such little things but since taking notice and hold of my own money I have cut out at least 100$ in useless money I spend a month. Not to mention the 2 ½ credit cards I paid off (with help from my honey 3 if you count him paying off as part of it). Which is a bunch of money saved over time b/c no more interest payments! And my car is so close to being paid off I can taste it! TASTE THAT CAR! I will have a title in my hands I haven’t had that for 6 if not 7 years! I know why do you care about all this….well you care if you read this b/c you’re reading it! Duh!

So anyways it’s MONDAY and I don’t get to play soccer. Instead I get to go to the eye doctor. So don’t let me forget to ask for more allergy eye drops! Geez! Bye now.

the unController

Hey my name is not Controller. I don't choose who gets paid and on most weeks i don't even print the checks. I don't sign them or assign them. I just enter the FUCKING bills. SO yelling at me for things not being paid, things being approved that you didn't want approved, the kitten across the street crying, and various other things that are not my job will get you no where and fast. I have no control (i.e. i am not THE CONTROLLER) over these things.

Also get better cell service b/c why the hell would i hang up on the person who controls my pay check?

So anyways that is my morning so far. Hope yours is much better!

2 apartments & 2 places people think are apartments

So after the looking at the 3rd place last night i started going into apartment overload but we got one more in before i shut down. UGH. The first place we looked at was nice, cheap, and we could deal with it so i think. It was a 2 bedroom with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and basement. It's been on the market for sometime and i think that caused them to lower the asking price for rent. The second place we looked at was very nice but way too much money. Way way too much. It has a pool in the complex but it's only open from 11am-7pm? And they have a gym again open 5am-11pm which is better then the pool but what about 24 hour since you have key passes for it anyway? The pool i can understand not being open 24 hour but it could be open till like 10pm at least. Anyways it's a moot point because it's too overpriced.

The third place OH the third place you will forever haunt my memory. Sometimes i feel like i am walking through a convicted felons house. Or a child molester....third place that is what i felt like walking through you. 1st you know it's going to be bad when the stench gets you before the front door is even opened. Then all the peeling paint (yes people peeling paint on ceilings as well). It was dirty, dank, smelly, and OVER priced. It would have been a nice place had it been kept up with. B/c there were neat built ins. but like i said it looked like a convicted felon or child molester had been living there for 20 years never letting anyone inside.

The fourth place was....ok it was....OY! It reminded me of the wardens quarters at the Jim Thorpe prison. It went around in a circle so most of the rooms were connected. They were trying to improve it like make up for not keeping up with it for years. But it failed. Was over priced with no refrigerator or dish washer. It had a big attic that was finished but had no heat or a/c going up to it. Oh but in the attic my nightmare almost came true! I always have dreams where i can't get away from whatever is causing me stress b/c my feet go through the floor/ground and i can't get them back out!! The one floor board was broken and almost had a foot go through it! NOT cool! So yikes to that!

After all the apartment looking we went to Red Lobster. Mind you i felt slightly guilty going there without a mother or a grandmother. They both like the lobster but my grandmother more so....not that I have ever taken her but one day i want to. Anyhow, we had dinner there and tried to regain our sanity. Did it work.....i don't think so. Maybe b/c we lost it a long time ago.

So it's Wednesday now...oh and there is a drawing of the ok cheap apartment complete with stick figure me doing Shred in the living room. LOL. Have a great day!

What a day it shall be.

So today is Tuesday....so it's bend over and take it day for me. It also happens to be pouring and i had the worst dream/nightmare ever. Woke up to my own whimpering. AWESOME. I dreamt that my boyfriend not only broke up with me but he told me that everything he ever said about loving me and wanting to be with me was a total and complete lie said just to keep me around until he was done with me. UGH. BUT to top it off my sister was pregnant with twin girls (shudder) and i was trying to get her shower together before she popped those suckers out! But she refused to go anywhere that might seem like a "shower" location. (that is so her by the way.) So i had just been dumped and I'm trying to be happy for pending doom. What a fun dream.

I think it all leads up to the fact that the boyfriend and i are going to look at two apartments tonight in Ambler (shudder). I don't like apartment hunting, car shopping or lobotomies....and out of the three guess which one i would do first? My boy on the other hand LOVES apartment hunting and car shopping... in fact he shops for cars when he is perfectly happy with his. Crazy man i date i know.

i can't believe it's the second week of June....does anyone else feel like time is swiftly depleting? It's the middle of the year next year will be 2010 and i will have been out of Hell i mean high school for 10 years. Damn i am old! I guess i kind of already knew that since my cousin is graduating this year! Anyways, time in general just feels like it escapes so fast! I sure hope I'm spending some of that time doing worthwhile things......

Which brings me to hanging out with my mom (a worthwhile thing!!). She is cute! We always have fun and last night i almost got her to get pizza with me but the place was closed! UGH! Oh well she made yummy pasta mushroom ness! We watched the Monday night show and she really does not like that one guy or the girl and i decided that then you don't like the show but she disagreed....she said.... "Anyone could do that what they are doing.....anyone.....so why them?" or something along those lines. LOL.

On that note i better go assume the position. Have a swell Tuesday. (no not that kind of swell.)

It's not Cute, funny or anything but annoying!

Ok you call i answer: Good Afternoon Company I slave for.

Stupid man: Is person i want to reach there?

Me: Sure may I ask who is calling?

SM: Sure.......

Me: (ughhhhhhhh not one of these people and no sissy i don't mean THOSE people i mean THESE people) OK...Who is calling?

SM: STUPID MORON MAN WHO THINKS HE IS FUNNY!!

I was glad when he wasn't at his desk to talk to you and i was almost tempted to just put you directly into voicemail so i wouldn't have to hear your lame voice again....BUT i knew better! I knew you would be the guy who called right back and said "you must have made a mistake you put me into voicemail!" Ugh

So it's been almost a week since i wrote and Boy what a week it has been. I am currently bitching about the wedding i'm in. Sorry friend whose wedding i'm in but this blows. All the money i am spending on your wedding (yes people you heard me right YOUR wedding not MINE...YOURS) So far the total is near 500$! I don't have 500$ just lying around. NO no i don't! That 500$ could go towards why here is a nice list of things:

- 2.5 car payments making my pay off month August instead of October
- My mom b/c lord knows i owe her plenty of money
- paying off a credit card
- saving it so that i could get an apartment
-HELL my own wedding... (yeah i know people you should be engaged i'm just saying)
- Food i like food
- Lots of shopping b/c i could buy a mountain of stuff for 500$
- a vacation my ticket to Cali and the money i spent there was less then 500$ (that is awesome)
- supporting several small children in poor countries
- a nice down payment on a new car! (ok not really but i can add ridiculous things if i please)

I could keep going but the more i put on the list the more i die inside. Again Sorry friend having this destination wedding but i might just have to get married so you will be in my wedding and you will pay sums of money for SOMEONE ELSE'S wedding as well.

The shower was nice but we spent too much money b/c as ALWAYS hardly anyone showed up. ALWAYS the story. People don't like to show up to parties i swear. Especially if they have to bring a gift. UGH.

Ok i should stop right now before i get all worked up all over again. THANK GOD it will be FRIDAY soon. Bye now.
