Category Archives: Everyday Stuff

Just an area for what I’m doing on an everyday basis.

A Work Post

Work was ok, but hit a small snag with something we missed that our main boss pointed out.  It doesn’t really bother me that we missed something.  It happens and we have been totally swamped with projects.

What bothers me was how she addressed it.  As if we did it on purpose.  With as many emails as we get, the over flow of never ending projects and the micromanaging we go thorough, things sometimes get missed.  It didn’t help that one email was addressing the deadline that we have on a project that I had to interrupt just to address the emails.  If you want me to get something done, don’t have me stop for paperwork.

It doesn’t help that one something rubs it wrong it drives me nuts.  Once I was able to address it, I was able to get it out of my system.  But I still hate the time wasted on it.

I really need to get to my messages and stuff done.  But I just seem to not to be able to put my mind to it.  So I’m vegging out watching our Scrubs that we are addicted to.  Maybe I’ll get to it tomorrow………but I’m not holding my breath.

I guess tomorrow I will find out what colors I’m doing my nails in Sunday.  It is a toss up between the Colts & the Saints…………we’ll see.

First Day Back

It wasn’t bad first day back.  It was a good thing that I went in early.  With being gone for 5 days I had to ease my way in and then it took me about half a shift to get my work “feet” back under me and all I wanted to do was go back home….grin  But that is natural.

Well, I just wanted to check in and I’m blank on what else to say.  But that is ok; I have to work in the morning tomorrow anyway.  So I need to get off my ass and head on to bed.  I hope to have time to check in tomorrow.

My Last Day Off

It has been a long day.  

I took the truck in to get the stereo put in.  They were nice enough to let me know that it would be a couple of hours and that they would call me when they were ready. (It was first come first serve)  So I didn’t have to wait around and head on home.

I got the call about 2 hrs later and headed on in.  Towards the end of 2 hrs found out that the tuner wasn’t working.    =(  So I was totally disappointed.  I was able to get the stereo exchanged, but didn’t have time to try and get it back in.  It didn’t help that I was starving.

So I picked up some food and headed on home.  We ate and chilled out.  As time went on I wasn’t just feeling well.  I wasn’t feeling too well last night and I just felt like crap tonight.  I had some hot tea and then hot chicken soup and biscuits for supper.  I am currently having hot cocoa and in my sweats.

We did get all of our music converted for my ipod.  I’m still trying to figure out how to use it from the external…….with having itunes on my laptop with its own library.  Harold has downloaded itunes to his laptop and may have it figured out…..go figure.  I am just not feeling well enough to think.

After all the crap that Harold went through with the horrible support from MS for his xbox, we decided to see if we could just exchange it where I brought it.  It was the most simplest of returns we ever did.  We didn’t think about it because most electronics say you can’t return and you have to deal with the manufacture.   Now let’s see if we don’t have anymore issues with it.

Oh yeah, we also picked up season 1 of Scrubs……..grin  We now have all available seasons. =)  We are addicted to that show…………grin

I have a dental cleaning tomorrow morning and then it off to work…….ugh  Harold is going to see if he can get the truck in for the stereo installation.  I hope so, I’m so looking forward to it.

News Flash :  (Since I haven’t done it in awhile)

Have you seen this :
‘Tigger’ attack instigated, lawyer says

What is funny about it is that we both figured that kid was doing something. When you see the video you can see the Tigger trap the kids arm as if to stop him from doing something.  There was no doubt in our minds that Tigger was provoked…..it is kids like that make me thankful that we don’t have any.

Bush Accepts Responsibility for Mistakes, Outlines the Way Forward

About time the “Decider” admitted to his mistakes.  I’m torn on what should be done.

Without having our troops there so many more innocents will suffer with a full blown civil war and then there is the fact that we caused the mess so I feel that it is our responsibility to make sure that it doesn’t happen.  On the other hand I don’t think that there is anything we can do without making it worst.  And I feel the troops need to come home.  They are going through so much and it seems for nothing………especially with the shitty way this administration treats them with the cutting of VA funding….ggrrr

1 More Day Left Off

Harold had a horrible day……his phone died and his mouse died. =( So he wasn’t too happy.

I did get a few things done online that I needed to get done. There are few more things I need to get done, but I’m not able get done due to other site issues and not able to use the external right now. Hopefully I’ll be able to get to it tomorrow.

I also didn’t go anywhere today! I’ve gone somewhere every day on my day off and my goal was to have one day where I didn’t have to go anywhere. That was nice, even though I didn’t set myself outside like I going to do. I just never got to it.

I still haven’t heard from the designer for my blog. But I haven’t seen him online in awhile. I really want to get that started.

Tomorrow I’m going get my stereo put into my truck!! Hurrah! I’m so looking forward to it.

Damn…..I don’t want to go in Thursday…..there is so much I’d rather and need to do around here.

Between all that we’ve just been watching our Scrubs DVDs……dang, we love that show no matter how times we’ve seen it……….grin

2 More Days Left

Yes, another productive day!!!  I’m on a role.

We started the day off with bike ride.  We then ran on to the bank so we can get new check cards ordered and then on to get a few storage containers

I got the sheets changed on the bed, more laundry done, and then attacked the garage.  I got the majority of our books into storage containers, which are so much better then the boxes they were in.  Boy, we have a ton of books…….lol ….cool to look at some of the books I used in my Political Science and Women’s Studies classes.  One day I will have a room that is lined with shelves just for them.  =)

While Harold went to the foot doctor (as you saw), I stayed home to wait for the bug guy….again.  I know they are trying to find the where the ants are coming from, but this is getting old.  We haven’t seen them in the kitchen (where they were everywhere) but now they are in the office.  =(    So the bug guy went to powder all the trees and fingers crossed, that it will take of it………finally.

We have the OSU & FU game on………this sucks!  Come on OSU!!  I am not going to say much more, except that I’m not a happy camper and more then a little frustrated…..gggrrrrr   I’m not sure if I can even handle watching the end of it.  =(

Tomorrow my goal is not to leave the house.  I want one day at home and nothing else.  I still have things that I need to do online, but unless I really have to….I’m not going anywhere.

We finally have a cold front moving in…..it is about 66 now.  It was about 84 today and the pool was about 80.  I got so hot and sticky from working in the garage that I almost jumped in.  At least we can go to bed without the air on, but I took the flannel sheets off today…………..doh.  But at least it will be comfortable enough that I can set myself outside tomorrow to get some work done or even just chill out and do some reading.  =)
