Long Time No See

Wow, I haven't posted anything of substance in quite a while. I haven't had much to say, I'm afraid. New job is going well, old job isn't, I'm busy, I'm not getting enough sleep, I don't eat well, I don't get any excercise, my car sucks, I hate where I live and I don't have enough money. That about sums up all that's been going on.

I did, however, get free tickets to Bandimere again from work, so Dad and I spent a day out at the track. I got majorly sunburned, especially on my legs. I wore shorts and the poor things haven't seen any substantial sun in almost two year. Pictures are here if you care to see them.

Trying Something New

Busy week. I've been wanting to take a few minutes to write here, but just couldn't find the time. The following is going to be a jumble of randomness from the week:

I'm starting to get my self-confidence back. I'm really starting to believe that I am going to be designing part-time soon and that the pizza job will be just an unpleasant memory. I think I can have my bills caught up by the middle of June and then I can start getting my software, my domain, PO Box, nice clothes, etc.

I really wanted to get my hair styled before graduation on Saturday. I haven't had my hair done in many, many years. Doesn't look like I'm going to be able to do that, though. Wouldn't have been a problem if I had been hired two weeks earlier or if graduation was a couple of weeks later. *sigh* Oh, well. Maybe I can get it done Friday night when I get paid. We'll see.

Pizza job is getting unbearable. I keep having a hard time getting the front door lock open. Makes me feel really safe to be standing outside at 3 am fighting with a lock. I complained about it last Saturday and the manager said he had been having problems with it too. SO GET IT FIXED, YOU FREAKING MORON! Some days it turns easily and some days it takes 15 minutes of turning the key back and forth (and blistering my index finger) to get the tumblers to turn. I'm either going to get picked up by the cops or get assaulted by someone. I have a feeling that dumbass manager is spraying WD40 in it, which probably works for a day or two, but in the end makes the problem worse. It probably needs to be disassembled and greased with the right lubricant.

The sales are sucking bad, too. I need to quit comparing this year's sales to last year's. It just depresses me. I've lost an entire paycheck this year compared to last. *sigh* Good thing I've got other work now.

Since I was so bummed about the state of things at the pizza job on Thursday morning, I was just sitting on my butt in the office. I was listening to Rick Barber on KOA nad he was having his astrologer/psychic night. He had astrologist to the stars Maria Shaw on and I decided to do something I had never done before--call a radio show! All I gave her was my birth date and some of the things she told me were uncanny. We'll see if any of them are true. If nothing else, it made my evening interesting. One thing she said that I will mention here is that I'm going to have a blow up with someone who zaps my energy (my dumbass manager?) by Memorial Day if I don't learn to keep a bubble of white light around me.

OK, that's enough for now. I need to start marathon web coding. The queen of procrastination strikes again. I must get my final web project turned in this week so I can get my degree on Saturday. I won't poke my head in here until that's accomplished.

Have a great week!

Going My Way

Wow, first free race tickets and now this:



Yay, things are finally looking up for me!!!!!

BTW, if you haven't already signed up at Blingo (a google search engine that gives away prizes like my movie ticket), join as one of my Blingo Friends. That way when I win again, you'll get a prize, too (or vice versa).

I like how Blingo can be added to the Firefox search bar, too.

I Am Soooo Tired, So Tired *

Wow, this is shaping up to be a long week. I can't wait for Sunday so I can sleep. Normally I'd catch up on Saturday, but I was given tickets to an auto race at work so I'm going to take Dad. I haven't been to a race in eons. Should be fun.

I was going to work some overtime tonight to help them do a job that was screwed up by using bad shirts that a client provided. I was kind of looking forward to the extra cash, but they found one of the owners to come back in and help. Oh, well. I told them I'd be fine as long as I got four hours of sleep. Oh, well. Next time.

Man, I'm having a nose bleed. I can't even remember the last time I had one of those. Damn it.
