Still nothing to do here at the old 2nd job. I had one task to do this morning that I drug out as long as possible, but as of 11 am--nada. So, I went to lunch early and have been surfing the Internet ever since. As soon as the art director gets back from lunch (he and the owner have been gone since 11:30), I might ask if I can go home. I feel guilty for getting paid to surf the web. Especially since I know this company can't really afford it. I'd rather be home throwing stuff out.

So, I'm driving from one job to the other this morning and pass Invesco Field. There's a huge banner on the side proclaiming you can win a $500,000 dream home and it gives the following web address:
winahomedenver.com

It's a raffle.

You have to spend $100 for a chance to win this house in Green Valley Ranch. Granted, with only 25,000 possible entries, the chances of winning this is better than the lottery, but still. Screw that.

Happy July everyone! At noon today the year is half over. Wow, hard to believe the year is half over already.

I actually slept for 11 hours last night. I didn't have to go to the pizza job since we're going to be closed on Monday for Independence Day. My neck has been all jacked up lately (almost as bad as after the accident a year ago) and sleeping on it that long killed it. I'm awake but in sooooo much pain. I took 3 ibuprofins about an hour ago and it hasn't done squat. Joy.

We have a 2nd Dish Network receive that we hardly ever used because the television was hard to see and the remote was bad. When Marcus rearranged the house, the television is actually in a place that is convenient to use, so I got a new remote on eBay. I can't get it to work. *sigh*

Well, that's about all I've got time for right now. Gotta get off to work. Hopefully traffic will be light for once.

Marcus came back from Tennessee wanting a change. Since we can't afford to move away from this hell hole trailer park, he went for the next best thing--this last weekend he rearranged our house. Our computer room and living room flip-flopped. The reason we had not done this before was the huge sectional sofa we had would only fit in the living room. Our fireplace has gone pretty much unused because it's hard to enjoy it in the midst of all the computer stuff. We were trying to figure out how to get rid of the big couch and get something smaller, but after looking at the god-awful ugly sofas on the market right now, we decided to just save our money and make the other one work in the other room. It looks a little goofy, but people don't come here much and we decided we could live with it. It's a little more intimate and you can sit closer to the television now.

Now comes the hard part--getting all the small stuff put away. Fortunately, I got into a cleaning up my life mood a couple of weeks ago and I've been slowing going through things and throwing out the stuff I don't/won't use. When the time comes to finally move away from here, I don't want to move the crap AGAIN that I haven't used in the 13 years Marcus and I have been together. Since I've learned the hard way (thanks to fruitless eBay sales) that the stuff I own is worthless, I'm giving it to charity or throwing it out. The thing that sucks most is work keeps getting in the way of my industrious mood. Boooooooooo.

Speaking of work, I'd better get to bed. I kept staying up too late last week in some sick mind game that I was playing with myself. It was like I thought that if I put off going to sleep, I'd put off going to crappy pizza job. Logically I knew that not to be true, but I was doing it anyway. Stupid. I was tired and cranky and would bawl at the drop of a hat. So, on that note, G'Night.

Oh, yeah...I get total control over what music I listen to when I have my own business. The stuff I'm listening to is making me tired and giving me a headache. I changed the tunes during lunch, but art director guy changed it back. Grrrr.
