I couldn’t do it

Sunday, August 22nd, 2004

When it came down to taking the job permanently or helping my coworker get it back, I chose to help her get it back. I helped convince the boss that the terms she wanted to work under were completely possible and doable. End result: I have no job again. I feel good that I helped someone out, but I’m bummed that I have to go through interviews and stuff all over again. I really hate the interview process! But I’m prepared again, lol. I got my nails redone in a nice simple french manicure (they were a shimmery green) and my hair is chopped to a flattering style. (Jayson says that it streamlines my face. I asked him if that meant it makes me look less fat and he responded that I said it, not him! :oops::b-lol: ) Anyway, today is the day to get started on job hunting again and tomorrow is Sam’s first day back at school! Woot! I’ll keep y’all posted, lol.

BO Stinks

Tuesday, August 17th, 2004

I decided yesterday that BO is annoying. It’s definitely worse than someone who puts on too much perfume or cologne! Some guy got on the bus yesterday and he just smelled so gross. And I wasn’t sitting that close to him! And I make my terrors take showers when I can smell them. BO is just a pet peeve of mine, I think! :yes:

Zacky ear surgery outcome

Saturday, August 14th, 2004

Well, his ENT removed the tonsils, anoids, and polyp, as he said he would. He didn’t put a tube in the left ear because Zack’s polyp came from an infected mastoid. He’s refering us to a specialist in mastoid surgery to have it done. We’ll be taking him in for a CT Xray to map what needs to be done and then we’ll set the date. My mom is coming out to help with his recovery (Thank God for that, because I don’t think I could handle this otherwise.) He’s a real trooper through all this though. I just can’t wait for it to be done so that we don’t have to keep interrupting his life with surgeries.

Last night was awesome, today is the complete opposite

Thursday, August 12th, 2004

Talk about a bad turn of events. I found out today that I royally screwed up by not speaking to the correct people on a problem here at work. So now I have to write a long email detailing what I did, who knew about it, and what needs to be done. In the end, I think I’ll be vindicated, but my boss’s boss told me that he fires people for not following chain of command. So now I have the big cheese annoyed with me! And I thought I was doing a good job!!

As for last night, we went and saw the Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. It’s a blast. I highly suggest that you go see it. Very funny and has some nice witty moments. It also has some nice “call backs” to the original film. Just little comments that will make those who’ve seen the first one laugh. :D

I’m going to get back to work and hopefully be invisible (but not wet :lol:).

Bus Stories

Tuesday, August 10th, 2004

I ride the bus to and from work each day. It’s a short little 20 minute one bus ride, so I really don’t mind it. Heck, it would take me almost that long to drive it! Anyway, my morning bus has the same driver every day and today he asked why I ring the bell when he knows where I get off. I told him that I do it just to remind him, lol. But I agreed that tomorrow I wouldn’t ring the bell. :D

I used to have the same driver for my morning and afternoon rides and he would drop me off at my work and at my house. I mean it! Right in front of them, lol. I was sp0iled, I tell you.

Of course, not all my bus rides are that much fun. I once got hit on by a guy who had just been released from prison. He was so proud of it that he showed me the card they gave him that stated he was a convict. Hello, moron! Don’t tell chicks that you’re a convict! Duh…

I also got hit on by this guy who thought I was single and available. Where do they get these ideas? I’ve got a nice shiny wedding band on and it’s not like I’m the best looking chicky in the world. It was just so silly. He was trying to be impressive, but once I mentioned that I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kids, he went away, lol. I guess he didn’t like my past times! :lol:
