workblogging again..............& rant

day 5 & still bored, still not in a permanent place. Just hope things speed up some. makes the day go slower when not much to do. bleh.
*******************
Jeff's boss is screwing him out of a career move. He'd placed a bid to do wireless internet for a hotel. His boss' company knows jack about wireless setup. Jeff does. So when he won the bid to do the job, he was ecstatic, as it would be a step to his business taking off finally. Well..............boss decided he wants to venture there after all AFTER Jeff got the bid, & since he was going to do the biz as his biz for his job, his job has final say so.
& to top it off, his boss wants Jeff to do the work for him at hourly pay. Refuses to give him a raise, refuses to make him on site, refuses to give him the title of manager even tho he does the job & then some. Hes been working all week 10-14 hour days. For what?
Being screwed over?
What an asshole.
*****************

Tomorrow is My oldest's 14th birthday. Unbelievable. Shes growing so fast. Shes such a good kid too.
Im lucky. Wonder how long it will last?
lol

workblogging pt oh hell who knows....

So todays the 2nd day here. IM getting more of an idea of things. I can like it here so far. People are nice, very friendly, I like that.
I got my laptop going here, dont have a decent computer so far. Theres an oldddd desktop here running win 98! omg, i never even worked on a 98. LMAO noone seems to really be worried what IM doing. Ill get my own deskspace later today or tomorrow. The only thing that bugs me so far is I have to wait til someone opens the doors to get in the building. Hope they give a key b4 long.
anyhoo, thats all for now.

random rants and ramblings, or workblogging part 92,387,536,776,598

It's been a jumbled up crazy kind of time here in okiemom land.

so last week I went to the courthouse, as I generally do 2x a week for my job, dropping off docs to be recorded & picking up some, etc. I clipped my keys on a carbiner clip I have on my bag. Walk thru the parking lot, thru the courtyard, halfway across the courthouse, treasurers office, clerks office, 2 elevators & back across & down to the garage again. No keys.....

Shit....

I trace my steps over & over, looking under every car I may have passed, the stairs, check in all the surrounding buildings front desks in case they were turned in, had the sheriffs deputy even feeling bad for me. I was stuck.

Finally, after about an hour or more of this, I broke down & called Jeff, who seemed quite annoyed, he fired up the mammoth behemoth & trekked downtown, after borrowing 10. to put in the tank of the beast & came to my rescue. He unlocked the door w/ his key & lo & behold, guess what sat on the front passenger seat?

(insert stupid moment here)

****************************

We have got till Nov to decide to either buy the house we're in (not) or move. We choose to move. We have found the perfect home, it's a mobile home, now to find somewhere to put the damn thing.

4 bedrooms, an office for Jeff, 2 living areas, a HUGE kitchen & pantry, big utility rooms, 3 bathrooms. I'll be in 7th heaven if we get it.

**********************

Anyone remember my huge work dilemma?

It has arisen again. Same job, same company, I finally interviewed, It pays MUCH more than IM making now, so keep your fingers crossed. A few of you know the issues I face @ current job, & how its pretty much dissolved 1 friendship, so all loyalties aside. I'm taking it if it goes thru.

hurting like hell today. Haven t ached like this in some time. There are days when I forget I have FM/CFS. Other days it slams me in the face as a nice little reminder. Like the days I cannot keep awake. Oh how I love falling asleep in the bathroom! Or dozing off at my desk & in my shallow sleep, making some moaning-ish sound. Yeah, loads of fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Had a near panic attack today. I was getting a DHL packet ready for OKC & looked at my hand. No engagement ring! I FREAKED! I rarely ever take it off. I tore my car apart, my purse, looked all over the office & sent out an office wide email to have them keep their eyes open. I called mom to have her check my desk, just in case. No ring. SHIT.

She walked to the other bathroom & checked the cabinet. No ring. SHIT SHIT. Looked around some more & there in the bath floor, it lay. WOO HOOOOOO. I don't have to get an ass whooping from Jeff. I have to go get that thing resized. I don't want to go thru that ever again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Had a baby scare Sunday night. Jessica called & thought her water had broke. So her dr says to have her come in to the hospital. We go get her & sit up there til 1 am. Come to find out, the little shit & Andrew were getting it on earlier & as the Dr. put it..."What goes up, must come down." UGH

However, the look on her face was priceless.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gotten addicted to myspace surveys lately. Have a look.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friday, we had company. It was supposed to be Abigail inviting her BFF Sandy over for the night, turns out Sandy never informed her Dad. lol, they were going camping. Before we knew this, I had told Kayla she could invite her BFF Valerie over as well. Well, she invited Valerie, & Rachel & Lois......The Gruesome Foursome.lol

They were surprisingly good tho. May be having them over again this weekend if Sandy can come. Should be tons of fun......

Either that or I'm just freaking nuts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sitting here jamming to tunes @ work while I blog. Gotta love it.

I have my mp3 in one ear, the other open so I can hear whats going on around me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Work has been a total bitch of late. I'm so burned out. Cant hardly wait til June to get away for a week. Don't even mind the long ass drive just so I can get away. However, I have a feeling Ill walk into the 7th layer of hell when I come back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way, a special thanks to out men & women serving our country. Especially the hot ass Marines. lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Im a bad bad girl . Things have been crazy. Looks like IM not taking over the CHildrens Circle as planned. WHEW! Im relieved, I didnt realllllly want to, but Id have been glad to do it nonetheless, just too many things on my plate right now. Between work & home & the outside things Ive committed to, Id much rather be a spectator at it than the one who is being spectated. Workblogging right now, quiet in here. Yesterday was HELL. I took monday off cuz I had exploding butt syndrome, like half of town seems to have of late. Its either the flu, upper respiratory or some intestinal bug. I got blessed with the latter. lol
So Tues I was still feeling off, but came to work, had a busting headache alllll day. Had a HUGE pile of work. It almost made me cry. I skipped lunch-not that it hurt me- & busted ass all day & got most of it done, leaving only a small bit for today. Went & got mine & Mom's hair done yesterday, the shampoo alone was worth every penny. It felt soo good. Anyhoo, feeling tons better, actually smiling & laughing today, must be feeling human again.

Oh my! I am just stuffed. Someone from one of the private mortgage insurance companies brought the entire office lunch from Johnny Carino's. Yummmmmmmmmmmm
Can't beat free food & good free food at that!
Today will have to be my diet free day. lol
I'll have to be good the rest of the week & depending on the weather, Ill get my ass out on the bike too. Do plan on walking though.
Talked to BB last night, she's been quite sick, completely lost her vopice, she's finally on the up end of it. They're all moved into her own apt now. IM so happy for her. She got a decent job at a hotel, rebuilding her life in paradise, just across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. Awesome view there. It's been pretty quiet lately, at least since our last counseling thing. That was.....well...it was. How about icky?
Can I say it was icky?
Anyhoo, things are quiet now, the OKie girls are doing better in school, the rooms are cleaner, dont know what else to add. lol

What a weekend.

What a weekend.

Only worked 2 days last week. That part was nice. LOL, & got paid for all 5, even nicer. However......Thursday, official Thanksgiving, we spent at the meeting, as previously noted, that evening was quiet & calm. Friday I worked in My youngests' room, cleaning, purging no longer needed toys, no longer fitting clothes, gathered up 2 bags for Freecycle. rearranged stuff, hung pictures & her awards from school up, & some butterflies Id been keeping for her. Room really looks cute & comfy now. If only she could keep it clean......
Saturday, I spent the day in my eldest's room, doing the same. I was exhausted by days end, Sunday was our big dinner, as some of us are invariably having to work on thanksgiving day. Oh my, did Mom ever outdo herself. She REALLY gets into the cooking part. No wonder I'm fat.LOL
We only had 8 people there, but there was -& still is- enough food for 30!
I'm sure I will be really sick of turkey before it is over. After dinner was over & company had departed, I realized one of our kitties, the Terrorist Kitty himself, was nowhere to be found. Oh shit.
We looked in closets, under beds, in cabinets, in the attic, furnace closet, anywhere you could imagine. No Terrorist Kitty. We grabbed a flashlight & ventured out in the rain, my eldest & I, calling & searching, to no avail.:( Terrorist Kitty was nowhere to be seen. I was going to make another pass in the attic, sat down to talk to Mom for a few & out of the corner of my eye, saw movement. There sat the little shit on the table, calmly licking leftover gravy.......I wanted to choke him. Instead I grabbed him & hugged him. I still have no clue where he managed to hide but I don't care. He wasn't lost outside in the rain & cold. :)
So I deposited him in my daughters hands & went to get ready for bed, already almost 1:30 AM. Bleh. Suddenly a knock on my door, "Mama, come here quick!"
I rush out to see whats wrong & the lights are all off & everyone is gathered by the front door. What in the world?
I peer out & there, on the porch is the biggest, fattest possum I have seen. It was HUGE. Looking for dinner I guess (REALLY glad now Kitty wasn't outside!). He finally wondered off the porch & I went around the side of the house to make sure the trash was secured. Sure enough, it was there, about to tear in. Uh-Uh! No you don't! I stomped my foot & made a hissing sound & that fat little possum ran like hell. LOL
I grabbed the loose bag of trash & moved it higher then walked back inside. How funny.
SO that was my weekend.
Now today, here I sit, workblogging, braindead as hell. Must be something in the air, as everyone in this office is drag-assing around & sluggish. I think I just need caffeine to be injected intravenously & I'll be OK.

Sad...

BB left this morning. At 7:20, they pulled out of the driveway & headed for Galveston. I knew it was really going to happen, but now it's real. The last few weeks have been very interesting. I think we all learned a lot about each other & about ourselves. I'm weepy today. This liquid substance keeps coming out of my eyes, but I know those aren't tears. Nuh-uh. No way. I don't cry....At least, not where anyone can see me. Maybe just those silent hiccupy cries where your eyes turn red but your nose doesn't puff up.
But I digress................
I am going to be a bit on edge until I hear from them. It's about a 9 hour drive so I figure it will be well after I get home from work. I just pray all goes well & uneventful, but I hope it's one of those road trips where you discover things about yourselves. Driving alone, for a lot of people, is empowering. I know she's not alone, but she's the lone adult. The kids might be both 18, but they're still kids.
Anyways, blessings to you all & I hope you find what your life has been missing.

Workblogginhg Part 3 & Troll Drivel

So the silly little troll thinks he found a way to air his hateful side without being caught. LMFAo, Ummm. no. You are so sad with your anonymous little comments that sound SOooo much lke you. Your usage of words & your pathetic attempts to throw me off. Nuh-uh. Didn't work. You're still stupid. Get a life, or go back & stick it to your horse faced wife a little harder.
Throwing Biblical quotes at me must have been hard. Must have burned as your hypocritical fingers held open that Bible. Even harder having to use spell check for a change. lol Sorry, Haven't stepped on anyone or actually really even pissed anyone off. Dream on troll, Go jerk off your light saber in the bathroom a little longer. You obviously missed me or you wouldn't keep visiting my blog. As for posting photos, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, get over yourself, I'll post what I like. (rolls eyes) Anyone who wants to read the pathetic comment he left, drop me a line

So back in the world that doesn't contain a troll......fairly quiet day @ work today, nothing like the fireworks of yesterday, funny how things can pile up huh?
Got a lot done already, about 4 committments for title insurance, several note packages, 2 recording packages, signed a gazillion checks, mailed out some insurance policies, & about to order some final title certificates. It's great to be at a job where you're appreciated. Even better to get paid well for it.:-)
Don't you wish you had a real job loser?
If only you could be me! :-)

Workblogging Part 2 & Anonymous comments

Feel a teensy bit guilty blogging from work yet again. Theres a few things I could be doing but I did get a lot done this morning, so...............Anyhoo, so this morning I check my email & theres a request to approve a comment. AN anonymous comment. Hmmmm, seems my little troll buddy has struck again. For those of you familiar with the groups I hang in, it's also more well known as Kenzie Knights. Do a google.LOL He just can't shut up. Seems he replied to my Yeah I'm drunk post. He felt the burning need to mention that" it was good I didnt have my kids with me instead of beating on them like I normally do." Note in point: Anyone who knows me knows of my unfailing & unconditional love 'in love' for my girls, so no worries there.So here's a big F*ck you Kenzie. Keep making stupid comments, it only makes you look stupid.& have a nice happy fucking day.

Workbloggin'

I don't generally get time to do this, but today is one of thospe days where I just feel lazy, & dont want to be anywhere but curled up in bed, air on, fuzzy blankie wrapped around me, tv buzzing, & doze in & out of reality all day long. Ever get the feeling something is in the air? Like something is about to happen that will cataclysmically affect your life?
Yeah, me either......

Seriously, I've had this feeling the last 2 days, like somethign is going to happen. Maybe drastic weather, huge relationship changes, uprooting at home, job chganges, or maybe just a hangnail, eh?
