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!

Still Lovin’ It

Today my boss hands me a catalogue and tells me to pick out three shirts that I want (within reason--some of those shirts were really expensive). His wife has an embroidery business and embroiders the company logo on these shirts. I picked a black polo, a stone short sleeve button up shirt and a long sleeve denim-colored shirt. It's just one more perk of working there. My wardrobe is going to be huge! BTW, Dad and I had a blast at the race on Saturday. I discovered I love dragsters.

That’s A Lotta Doilies

Today’s humor courtesy of Nina:
There was once a man and woman who had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything.

They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about it.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.

When he opened it, he found two crocheted doilies and a stack of money totaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents.

“When we were to be married,” she said, “my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily.”

The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst into tears.

He asked where did the money come from, “Oh,” she said,“that’s the money I made from selling the doilies.”

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.
