This lady's  blog is hilarious. And her point about Starbucks relates to every job I've ever worked; you get absolutely nothing for doing a good job. Zero. Zip. If you're super-lucky, you get a "way to go".

Does anyone else use Halloween as their New Year's Day? I use it as my plan-for-traditional-New-Year's Day. Then I revise that plan on my new year/birthday two weeks later. That way I get a little jump start on "normal" New Year's Resolutions.

And YAY, my birthday is a Friday the Thirteenth this year. *bouncy bouncy bouncy*.

Anyone else thinking ( Read more... )

I normally listen to Loveline on 93.1 Sunday through Thursday nights. I listened Thursday night, expecting James Van Pragh, one of several famed "mediums" who can talk to the dead. Instead, re-runs of Loveline shows were aired because Dr. Drew's dad died that day. I'm just wondering, when the studio called to ( Read more... )

I've been taking CNA classes since last week and my classmates and I sat outside the building for an hour today, waiting for our instructor to show up. Finally we left a group message, roll-call style to prove that we'd all been there and went home.

Once classmate raged on about how we'd paid to be there and how disrespectful it was that none of ( Read more... )

 So...my drunk/angry post last week took place before my buzz wore off to the point that I started feeling energized and productive. As my inebriation was subsiding, I started drunk dialing several gyms in the area to find out their terms and fees. My logic was that drinking every time I get upset is not a healthy way to deal with stress and likely ( Read more... )

I figured out *both* how to download and how to use Audacity. Go me! This will make audio recording and editing a billion times easier. Yay passive income! Even though one of the websites I work for is undergoing massive overhauls, I'm thinking that the new products will get approved by the end of next week (provided that I do not get lazy over the ( Read more... )

My back hurts. I'm beginning to wonder if the futon is really any better than the floor, considering all of the boards that stick up into my back. I need to do another Passion Party and read the books & magazines I bought. Also, I should figure out a way to take one online class at IUS so that I can get free/cheap parking on campus. Plus, I need to ( Read more... )

Ok, I don't know what officially makes one a "country girl" but it's a label I definitely do not apply to myself. I dislike many things about living in the country-the bugs, the snakes, the small-minded Bible thumpers you have to deal with when you go into "town".

I don't like putting my clothes on a line where birds are more likley to poop on them ( Read more... )

I have finally gotten my external webcam to pick up both sound & picture. I so love having some control over my earnings/life in general. I'm wondering though if my super-quick paycheck last week didn't get made because it was a payday week-I knew I'd be getting money anyway, so I already had it in my head that I was receiving money.

I've just gotta ( Read more... )
