(no subject)
Well last week was pretty shitty. I of course had last Monday off. I had a nice day, didn't really do much. We didn't have a cookout, just cookout food and Shawnelle came over so that was fun. Afterwards me, Betsy, Nora, and Jill went downtown to the viewing of the mayor. I didn't know him personally or anything, I just thought it was so sad. Pittsburghs last mayor really sucked, so I think everyone was just as excited about Bob O'Connor as he was about being the mayor. So then Tuesday happened, no big deal. I think I had my normal bad day at work but whatever. Then I woke up on Wednesday morning to the news that my beloved dog Missy died :o( Our family will never be the same. We got her in 1995 when me and Betsy were in 8th grade. So she was about 13. She's been sick all summer, but she was just at the vet 6 days before. He found a tumor in her lungs, but said it wasn't life threatening. I of course don't blame him, I think it was just her time. Needless to say we all took it very hard. I didn't tell anyone at work though. Kinda weird. I think I just don't want to be close with these people. I really like them, but whatever. Also it seems like anytime I start talking about something, I get interrupted with "Oh that's like the time blah blah blah" and I just didn't feel like listening to it. When our last dog Cindypup died, we got another one like 3 days later. That dog actually bit me, so we gave him away (don't worry, he went to a very nice family!) and then two weeks later we got Missy. Without a dog in the house it's SO weird! Missy was of course a welcome addition to our family. She had so much personality, she was totally her own person (dog..don't tell her that), she made her own decisions, complete attitude, so precious, etc. With a family full of girls, she fit right in. So natually (I guess) we were all thinking right away of getting another dog. We still have Copey which is nice so the house doesn't seem so empty. It seems so weird without Missy. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we are not ready to fill her spot yet. I think Copey might be a little lonely, but he's so different that Missy was, it's hard to tell with him. He was definitely looking for her the morning it happened. Then I gave him a dog treat that has a fortune written on it..named Fortune Snookies haha. His fortune was "You will have a four legged friend that brings you great joy." I literally just stood there and stared at it, I couldn't believe it! How weird is that?
Thursday was supposed to be a fun day for me. My boyfriend had Steelers tickets so I was totally looking forward to going to my first game. Well I woke up on Thursday sick as hell. I had to take yet another unpaid day off (5th one this summer, beautiful), and I had to cancel my Steeler plans. Let me tell you...my dog dies, I get sick and have to take the day off, then you're taking the Steeler game away from me?!?!?! Yea, I definitely had a black cloud over my head. Friday I was just as depressed...I didn't even do anything all day except sulk around at work then later at home. I couldn't even eat due to my sickness from the day before...so I couldn't even drown my sorrows in food! I started getting better on Saturday. Me and Mike had a really nice day. We went to his dads church picnic for a little, then to the mall. I wanted to check out stuff at Coach since I got the 25% coupon. I ended up doing some damage at the Limited and Victorias Secret. Then on our way home we got some liquor and chinese food, then watched the first 4 episodes of Lost from season 2. Definitely Saturday was a nice day. I didnt do much yesterday, took advantage of my CVS discount and bought some makeup, filled up the ole tank ($2.56/gal isn't too shabby!), then me and Mike went to dinner at Fridays. They have new apetizers which are pretty delicious. We got the Potato Skinny Dippers. Very spicy! Things with me and Mike are going so well. I of course really like him, but I also like his parents/family that I've met so far. His mom and aunt met my mom, grandma, aunt, etc. at Betsys candle party. Everyone liked everyone so that was great. I just can't believe that it's been 10 1/2 months already! Crazy how fast time flies. He's looking into buying an ice company from one of his vendors. I can't get used to the idea. I just worry that he doesn't know what he is getting in to.
I have been waiting on word from my HR manager about the 2nd job I interviewed for her...6 weeks ago. Well I think I can forget about that job. She came to me today telling me about another job she applied to for me. This one is Workforce Management Analyst. I am trying to stay positive, so I am excited about another possible opportunity. I'd be working in the call center, and I think working with statistics and scheduling, etc. So hopefully 3rd time is the charm here!
Sorry about the pity party and the boring events of my weekend haha...I am just bored at work and felt like typing. Finally, the countdown is on, 15 minutes until I can get out of here so I better start cleaning up.
