I am still reeling over what happened in the women's snowboard cross Olympic semifinals last night. Why did this happen? *wails* Today is the men's halfpipe, so I'm crossing fingers for my babies Shaun White and Louie Vito. So far the weather continues to make everything dangerous for the athletes ( Read more... )

Today was my parent's 35th anniversary. My dad is back visiting us from Trinidad, where he is still hell bent on fixing up an old house there and living. I no longer resent him for leaving not only my mother here, in Texas, but also me. I know I'm an adult now, but I can't deny that I cried the first time he left to fly to Trinidad ( Read more... )

So I'm out of work again. The Census work comes in shifts so right now we're eligible for unemployment and then we can be re-hired for the next phase in July. I hope I get picked b/c they told our team that we did a good job. And you can't beat $19.95 an hour. Well, you can but you know what I mean ( Read more... )

I've finished my so called sabbatical from my own journal. Just wasn't in the mood to update. I see I've been de-friended by several people. Jeez. That's kind of harsh. I don't de-friend people just because they haven't updated in a while. *pouts ( Read more... )

dreambastion and asinnerofsorts, thanks for trying to cheer me up. I've been kind of out of lately but there's not much anyone can do until my life sorts itself out. Also, Angel, I am very sorry I missed wishing you a "Happy Birthday". I hope your day was wonderful, hon ( Read more... )

I've been very down of late and crying a lot. It's a combination of things dealing with my family life and work that is getting me down. I wish I could talk to a counselor, but that's costs lots of money and I don't have the budget for that right now ( Read more... )

So I haven't been feeling well as usual. The doctor told me I have some form of anemia and they took further blood tests. I feel weak and tired all the time and I'm always cold. I hope they don't tell me I have Aplastic anemia or sickle cell. I am really worried about this so I haven't gone in for my test results yet. I know. I know. It's ( Read more... )

Had a mini breakdown at work yesterday. This entire spreadsheet that I had been working on uploading into the system didn't save. More than half the taxpayers' entries just did not import. All that work--fucking gone. What do you do when you try to save your work, and it says it saved, only to find out later that your computer system is a ( Read more... )

Okay so work is driving me insane. It's like today is: "Let's see how much shit we can pile on top of Rashida" day. My boss better let up or give me a fucking raise. I mean it. I'm doing entirely too much shit in a day to be getting paid my current salary. Things need to improve. And he says I'm doing a good job! Ugh! I'll bring this up ( Read more... )
