I drove to my grandmas today, to be with her on Mothers Day. I was pulled over on my way over to Oxnard, for speeding. Go figure. Funny part is, to make up for the time lost while receiving said ticket, I had to speed even faster to make it for 9 AM breakfast.

I decided to take PCH home. It occurred to me that I could pull over and watch the waves crash along the reef. So I did. I'm not sure what came over me, maybe it was the fact that I was alone and with all the noise around me (waves crashing, wind blowing, cars driving)I started screaming. I screamed and screamed... I screamed until my lungs had no more air in them to breath. Joy, anger, frustration, love, fear, uncertanty all poured out of me. It felt good.

An update - If you are a mommy -- Happy Mother's Day.

I am exhausted, and if I have missed something big in the last week in your life PLEASE make a note and tell me.

The computer is up and mostly running.  The tech forgot to move the hard-drive info over - I was able to get that on a USB stick and reload my docs, pics, favorites and music.

However it seems he also forgot to hook up the audio.  I swear Richard found the most absent minded man on the planet to "help".  So I am just worn out with having to do EVERYTHING over and over again.  Word to the wise, IF YOU lost your system, how backed up is all of the stuff you use?  Your password that you count on being there when you click to pages you frequent, or pics you have on your system, articles you have saved etc.....

I am pretty well secured having MOST (not all) of my stuff handled and well - so that it is time to get it back, but achievable.  I have an ICE file for all my sites and passwords etc, in an email account in a draft.  Also I have an email account where I have sent all most of my docs so I can have fullish recovery.  But the pics were not all moved BEFORE the mother board went down, and the sickening feeling when nothing was there was not fun.

On top of missing a weeks work yesterday was the baby shower and that took some extra effort to pull off. but was all worth it of course!  I went to pick up the cupcakes (6 white, 6 chocolate - 3 of each pink, 3 of each blue - all with yellow baby booties on top) and there was an issue with the order - read not done - so that was resolved quickly.  After I said I am tired of listening to you yammering, just move to the part where you MAKE MY CUPCAKES. 

The gift came out amazing!  We took 3 different sizes of white bookshelves and filled them with matching plastic, yellow and green, buckets. that we then placed fish on with tatouage on the buckets.  The original plan was to also do the shelves BUT on Friday afternoon when we went to put them on -- the one place they do NOT work is on the shelves - sigh.  However the buckets came out perfection! and we sent the bigger pieces home to do the walls in the babies room.  Sounds like she is planning on using them for her early labor project - which made me VERY happy :)

Also my daughter and son in law to be got to the first doc apt on Weds last week, got to see a VERY active baby on the ultrasound -- and are doing very well.  I am so loving this.  I got her a card and gift for her first mother's day so she could open it early this morning before heading to work :)

The computer issue has been exhausting, and it seems every single thing in the last week has had to be done over, again, delayed etc.  From things like the kitchen sink plumbing leaking and I mean a LOT, hours before the party to the computer nonsense to simple things like cashing a check and paying the bills and the bank computer being down ...

Here is to this next week being amazing, since from here on out it is double time to catch up!

Hugely overwhelmed, today is the baby shower - will update on what happened for that, and will happen today later.

Did get the computer back -- minus ALL of my documents .....

I am HOPING he just forgot that step and they are still safe on the backup -- I can't think anything different till I call at 11....

Shared with me by a dear and close friend. I laughed. I present: tea and rap.

Yesterday at work, I got to play with a hedgehog!! Hedgehogs are super cool in person. At least, this one was. She was nervous but affectionate, and extremely cute. If you've never pet a hedgehog, you should. Her texture was the most unique I've experienced, probably ever. Seriously. She was spikey, but not sharp spikey. And her owner was carrying her in the kind of little sling/pouch thing that I'll probably carry my offspring in, which won me over right way.

I love my job. :)

Whoah, I got nudged! I think that may have been my first "official" nudge! ;)

So, um, my immediate news is that I stopped at Taco Bell on my way home, and placed my usual order, and instead of the "NO sour cream", which I make very clear, I not only got sour cream, I got charged for EXTRA sour cream! Bunch of DICKS!!!

In other news, I've had a crazy busy week. I have to wake up in approximately 4 hours for the garage sale my sister & I are having at her house. She has Bloody Mary fixin's, and I have Mimosa fixin's, which should make the 4 hours of sleep run much smoother than usual.

I promise to make a proper update soon...I apparently deleted my "drunk post" icon, which means I need to mention within the body of the post that I am, in fact, drunk. Hey, an out of town friend's band was playing in town, what can I say?

I am now going to resort to possibly illegal tasks, and wait for my hot, hot boyfriend to get home and do me. :x

I hope the rest of you have had as awesome a day/night that I have. :)

looks like i also lost my mother board, so i am the proud owner of a full on dead puter

that is in the shop

folks that need me, need to use the phone and call

i should be back up friday -- maybe sat

OH HOLY SHIRT!

Official Twilight teaser trailer released! HERE!

So I think it was Friday when my router died, then my power supply went out on Sunday...

After new parts and work -- I find out the actual plug in, is a PROBLEM for my system, back at the breaker.  Yes I have a power strip bar there, and yes the power issues were so bad ... all is well now though! and for about 2 hours of time (actually fixes not down time) and $60 :)

Now today the tree trimmers are here, working for FREE and I am so excited!!

I have made some Feng Shui changes, and am LOVING see the shifts so fast :)

Today felt like a Monday. It was a hard day. And everything that could have gone wrong with my training did. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

I heard the best thing today,"This job doesn't define you." Which I've totally lost sight of over the course of months. At the end of the day, I'm not curing cancer. It has no baring on my intelligence, or humility. Its just a fucking job. I have to do my best to remember that.

Before I do that however, let me rant about what upsets me most:

Today, one of the doctors, (who on a side note, had an affair with one of his research associates and had to call off the engagement two months before he was to marry. - I bring this up to establish his foundation of doucheness - I know, I've been there two months and know all the gossip already.) called me complaining about this note I left on his desk. The note said clearly, that I couldn't accept his training documentation because there was huge smear running down it and frankly, you couldn't read the paper. I can't present that to the FDA when they are going to audit. The FDA doesn't give a fuck that their printer isn't working properly. Anyway, so of course I anticipate this and attached to the note and the smeared paper, I attached a fresh copy. That he only needs to sign. Mind you, this is all explained in the note I left him. Which he could clearly read, cause it was typed.

Anyway, this doctor calls me with his panties in a twist. Talking about how he can't help what the printer does, and he did the training and blah blah blah. Mind you, I'm irritated as hell, so I'm sure his blah blah blah really only lasted 45 seconds. It felt like minutes though, trying to be as nice as possible I say, "uh huh, flip your the paper... (long pause)." To which he replies, "oh, i guess I should have done that before I called you." (long pause). "So what do I do now, with this." [again, he if would just look at the note I typed out he would clearly see the answer] I reply, "inter-office it to me, I'm in the QM department." He proceeds to make some lame joke, something about how he'll try. I fake laugh and hangup.

FUCK PEOPLE. I guess what bugs me even more is that for me grammar and articulation is hard. So to write a fucking note/email takes me forever. I look it over millions of times to make sure I'm spelling things right. Nothing at all like on live journal. Here i just type it out and post it. With work, these are people I work with you know. Its so damn time consuming on my end because I try not only have grammar and spelling on point, but also provide as much information in my emails to make both our lives easier. So when you call me about shit you can easily find in the note/email. It sort of bugs, cause it shows me you didn't bother reading it.

UGH. alright I'm done ranting. It's monday. I'm happy tomorrow is Tuesday.

Sometimes I have to remind myself I'm way to normal, dare I say dull for certain people. No matter how attracted they may be to me, that is a deal killer.


On another note, Thank God for Death Cab For Cutie. I'm so in love with their song Cath.

I have friends that read my LJ in ID, WA and OR -- and while this is an Idaho deal -- I an see how it could directly effect you folks too...So I am pasting a note I sent to some local folks here for you to have a chance to check out the link too. 



It concerns me that no one seems to KNOW about this, and it is not being discussed in detail ...

Have you heard yet about Blackwater wanting to team up here??

There is so much going on in my head right now. I just wish there was something I could do to settle these thoughts down.

I have a feeling more change in the wind. The details are still really fuzzy.

I'm driven for more. I can feel a part of myself pushing and another part of myself scared. I'm at odds with myself and its un nerving. I'm confused by my drive, I'm not sure if its a quest for true education or greed. The good thing is, I'm allowing myself to feel my way through this, and I'm not holding anyones hand.

One this is for sure, I am busy these days.


On a slightly different topic: I'm obsessed the show OZ. First of all my love for Christopher Meloni has grown to enormous proportions. I mean anyone who's a fan of SVU can agree that the man is hot... now, there is something to be said about a bad boy in prison, with an amazing body and a repenting heart. The fact that he's so bad and tries to be good, is such a turn on.

Lets be honest, all girls want a bad boy with a soft spot. We want to either save someone or change them. Try as we might to fight that, I think its something innate in us. Anyway, the man is hot on this show. Which I'm sure is why I'm such a fan now.

During the year I take advantage of a lot of the Free Trainings with James Ray - I ordered this book, and it should be here Tuesday, and I can't wait to have time to see the free movie bonus.

I do not get anything out of you buying his book, I just believe it is a good value, check it out :)
