I'm not dead, really.

Ok, so yeah, I totally haven't been posting but really REALLY soon, I will. The cool thing is that some of you have see me without knowing it, on a news clip that made some decent headlines.

Like I told the reporter, "No Comment", but as soon as the trial (not about me) is over, I can comment all I want, heh heh.

I can title my posts again!!

Unfortunately, I just didn't feel like coming up with an actual title.

Anyway, start my new job on Tuesday, I was the first of three interviews, and I was offered the job about 1/2 an hour after my interview, and amusingly enough, before the other two people interviewed at all. (Shh, don't tell them, they might get upset at me.)

Still in good ol Human Resources, but I will be getting into new stuff I've never done, so good all around.

Stressful weekend though, as we are moving (again) from city life (gunshots, assaults, break ins, etc.) to peaceful country living. The cool thing is that even though I am out in the country, my drive to work is going to be shorter with less traffic than before!

As soon as I get all moved, I will play some catch up on everyone's blogs, as I know I am behind.

Blogger decided it wouldn't let me title this post.... typical.

Oh well, the title was going to be crap anyway. Had a promising call this morning about a job, yes, still looking. My small severance package is long gone, heh, and I need to get back to work!

Hope everyone had a great fourth of July. Besides Justin trying to launch a firework into four of our faces (accident), we had a good time.

Here's my rant for the day though, I went to cash a check at WalMart, since the bank was closed and I needed some money, and the woman said my driver's license picture didn't look like me. She called a manager over, he said it was me. So I asked why she thought it wasn't me, other than I hadn't shaved in a few days, and she said, "Oh, you've gotten fatter since that picture."

Yes, she went there. Ok, I have gained weight since that picture, but I am not fat. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But she said this right in front of her manager, and most places I've ever worked in retail, the manager would have told her to say she was sorry, or said he was sorry to me, or gave me a five dollar gift certificate, or something. I got zip.

Ironically, she was fat.

Anyway, I will keep you updated on the job, keep your fingers crossed.

Stuff I steal.....

Riding :: Bareback. (horses, get your mind out of the gutters, freaks.)
Actress :: Winona Ryder. Poor, poor, Winona Ryder.

Have a great day everyone. If you think you are having a bad day, think of me, it can't be worse than mine. Promise.

Had a good weekend though, whew! (Mostly)

Keepher

A long, long time ago, for those of you who have been around with me, I told you I got a digital camera and would start posting some pics.

Well, I only thought it appropriate the first personal pic would be of my baby, Keepher.

He looks kinda sad here, but really, he was just posing. "Contemplative" is what I think he was going for here.

Job Hunt Week 2

Ok, so it's really week 1, as during week 1 I really just browsed online, went to the placement service that got me my last job, and waited for my severance check to arrive.

However, I was motivated today as I found out my severance check isn't coming for two more weeks and the check for today (which will arrive in the mail who knows when?) is only for one week. Better than nothing, yes, but trust me, I have put some people off until today as today was supposed to be my "big check". My ex manager called to let me know I left some personal stuff behind, and I let her know they should have had someone better prepare the letters (oh, I don't know, someone thorough, competent, experienced, you know, like me) as the letter had numerous mistakes.

The biggest, in my favor, was that the letter made it seem like my health insurance ended on May 31, when in fact it ends June 30. I am thinking of being entirely reckless for the next two weeks so they have to foot the bill.

Anyway, I got my resume in, and now I am waiting for the calls to pour in, as I kick ass. (No, humility is not listed as a skill on my resume.)

I will keep you posted, all four of you who still stop by.... and I may try to update my link list I never finished.

Fill in the blank.....

When all else fails.....

You must be insane, drunk, or high.....

Not really, I am here. Major work, major pc issues, and I was avoiding posting from work, lest I get into trouble, and ironically my position got eliminated. Along with 4,000 other people if that tells you where I worked. I was at their corporate office, and apparently, when you don't have as many employees, you don't need as many Human Resources people, let alone the more expensive ones.

Yes, I am expensive. :)

Hope all is well in your lives, unless some amazing job that doesn't require lots of OT comes up real soon, I will blog away until the internet is turned off.

I have some leads here and there, but nothing solid yet, but hey, it's the first week of the rest of my life. (that didnt even convince me, so don't worry.)

Thanks for standing by.

The "new and improved" blogger totally doesn't work with my pc and software. I just found a way in, by logging into google first, then using a link to get here. But before, I could only post titles of posts, and then I found how to post text, but if I went to edit it, it disappeared.

And I still can't get pics to upload.

Thanks to those of you stopping by, I think I am just going to violate my "blogging at work" policy and post stuff from there.

Happy Easter, and if that doesn't apply to you, Happy Sunday.

(It was 80 degrees here three days ago, and this weekend we had snow. Crazy.)

i am temporarily experiencing technical difficulties

testing if any text comes up. please standy by.

hold on for one more day.....

ponder this.....

think this over while I try to get my pc to work with this whole new google blogger thing. bloogle? whatever, it is ticking me off, and made me lose stuff, so think this over for now.....

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but, they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Now just try to not sing the slinky song all day long.

I am playing for the other team, now.

I switched to the google version, after numerous tries (not impressing me too much, but it could be the crappy pc I am using, who knows?)

And like Spinning Girl mentioned, I am having some issues, viewing icons and all, but I have just started to check it out.

Just thought I would share that without my baby (the culinary arts graduate) at home, I actually cooked a pizza with the cardboard still underneath it. Luckily, it was on a pizza stone (thanks for the great Christmas gift to my mother in law.) so it didn't catch fire, and was still actually edible. I blame it on stress, others I have shared the story with blame in on bourbon.

I will not be having a vote on this one, it was stress.

Insanity Rehab

Do they have rehab for when you've recently gone insane, but think you're better now? (No, I don't have a doctor's note, saying I am sane now, but I think I am.) Anyway, sorry for the lapse, but get this, Justin leaves for 3 1/2 weeks so far for California (the opposite side of the country, for those of you who remember where I am at) and leaves me with no phone, internet, or cable. So, insanity ensued. And plenty of drinking. I really should donate some money to Henry McKenna, he kept me sane. Of course, now that I am sane, I didn't give Henry up or anything, he stuck through it all with me.

Anyway, I thought I was getting hugely popular, with no posting, but it turns out the spammers are on to me. So I am going to do some house cleaning, promise.

How's everyone? This is literally my first night with phone, cable and internet in almost a month, so I have a lot of catching up to do, as I don't do too much inappropriate web surfing at work, but I have been reading a few of you that are mildly work appropriate.

More to come, may be moving to San Diego, more on that later, too. Henry has started to kick in, meaning my typing skills have gone all to hell....

Thanks for those of you who still check in, I'll be checking on you too.

And as for you SG, I have been keeping tabs on you from work, despite the precarious ledge you walk as to being work appropriate.

wow. another one gone?

yes, another year gone. another year pending. and I seem to be in a similar place as the past several, several, years. oh well, there are some happy times mixed in there with all the other moments, so it could be worse.

i wish all of you the best. and now, for some random crap.

Random Crap Item #1: I haven't been posting as much, mostly because I refuse (as does my blogger friend Happy Librarian) to post from work. I have slacked a little and read some of your blogs from work (those of you whose blogs are work acceptable), but I won't be associated with my own blog at work. Sorry, and I will be posting more in '07 again, it has been calling to me lately.

Random Crap Item #2: Ever wonder if your writing is more male or female? Now you can find out. go to the gender genie and it will tell you.

Random Crap Item #3: Your trash cans and trash do not belong to you. Even while on your own property. We have had some people go through our trash lately, and the trash cans sit on our property. However, since the official trash people are nice enough to pick up the trash from that spot (instead of me having to haul it to the curb) it is considered public abandoned property. And it doesnt matter to the police that the people doing it are rude, look into the cars, and won't leave. I learn something new every day. Whether I want to or not. So guard your trash, shred those credit card numbers, and don't throw away anything a wandering crack addict might consider wanting, as they come back. I am thinking about putting some disgusting foul things in there, just for them. what exactly disgusts a wandering crack addict?

That's it for now.

Happy new year, and if you have gift cards you just don't know what to do with, my birthday is only 9 days away, and I will kindly provide you my mailing address.

i'm still here....

I promise. i am back. maybe just not as full force as i was for a while there. but i am back. and there's some good stuff coming. really. i am trying to catch up on everyone's lives, but give me some time, please.

i will get back to normal posting. normal. not hyper-active everday posting maybe, but at least once in a while.

merry Christmas friends.

I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you.

I would tell you who I stole the idea for this from, but it's part of the quiz, so I won't. (But a freebie for those of you who visit my link list on the right.)

HappyVille?

Okay, I try to keep the blog lighthearted, except when I am bitchin about stuff, but come one...Room for gay penguins in school libraries? - Education - MSNBC.com Is this for real? It's based on a true story. And they are animals for crying out loud.

I am sure there is some kind of "happy feet" joke in here somewhere, I am just way too intoxicated to think of it right now.

Seriously. My life would be so much easier if I was a gay penguin, I mean, they just went and adopted a kid, no problems whatsoever. *SIGH*

Happy Librarian (link on the right, check her out), what is your library's policy on this book? Just wondering.....

Where oh where....?

I am refusing to update my links on the right, hoping that some of the now missing people will return. *SIGH*. And some aren't just not posting, they are officially gone.

Anyway, while I soak the misery of my missing blog friends with bourbon, I will be posting this weekend on the events of last weekend, which included getting drunk with some preteen and teen girls (they weren't drunk, I was), a 16 year old drunk boy, and some of their parents. Heh, it's amusing, not perverted, so don't come back expecting something perverted. That's next week's post.

Totally unrelated, did you ever notice how people you like disappear from your life, yet people you don't like end up resurfacing time and time again? Argh. (Yes, I just typed argh. I never actually say argh out loud, but I do find myself typing it a lot.)

So, what's been up with everyone? I am trying to catch up on everyone's blogs, until then.....

Tina Fey loves Spinning Girl

Spinning Girl Tina Fey reads Spinning Girls' blog, as should you. In tonight's episode of 30 rock, (yes, I had nothing better to do than drink bourbon and watch 30 rock), they used the word vajayjay. I give all credit to SG for making the word popular, despite other theories of where it originated. Check SG out. For the pervs, no vajayjays are actually pictured.
