  Problem fixed!

For those of you who tried the link, and it was not working, it is now, so don't go all freakin out on me now! But to hold you over, I found this great quote:

  New blog!!!!!

Heya there!! I have great news!!! ::does a dance:: Hehe, I'm very happy about this. I have my new blog all set up now in movable type, hosted by the wonderful Mel, and it's all set up now, so go there from now on. I have all the messages from here on there, so if you wanted to read something again, don't worry about that. Anyway, I don't have a hell of a lot of time now, so I can't get a nifty template for it, so it'll be all blah looking for now. I'm hoping to get something done tomorrow night about that. I was thinking I could use this one, but I need a change, so I'm on the hunt for a new template. If you've got any links to good templates, let me know now!! Heh, anyway, I better put the link here before I forget:

The new blog!!!!!

I had an interesting night to say the least. I'm gonna post a new message about it to the new blog, so go there to read about it. Now!! ;o)

  "Well, fingering is a very personal thing." -Sean

Ahahahahahaha, I just had to use that as my title. It's such a great quote. It's really about playing the piano, but I thought it was appropriate for the blog. Anything really is appropriate, but whether it's good enough is really the question. So consider yourself very special, Sean, that I quoted you and put that as my title.

Don't you hate it when you wake up in the middle of the night for some unknown reason, and just sit completely up in bed, all disoriented and such, and then look at the clock and think, "Shit, I still have time left to sleep. Why the hell am I up now?" That happened to me this morning, and usually I'll wake up, but not sit completely up in bed; I'll just be laying there, and open my eyes. This morning I actually sat up all wide eyed, and got all pissed that I was up at that time. I know, I'm weird. Maybe it just happens to me. :shrug:

And another question: Isn't it just so damn wonderful when a fellow employee wears wwwaaaaayyyyyyy too much fragrance?? I don't usually get affected by it, but damn!! This new guy who is cleaning the bathrooms now wears so much cologne, it lingers in the fucking closet for about half an hour after he leaves!! And it is awful cologne. It doesn't even smell the slightest bit good. Me and the girl who I'm replacing (tomorrow's her last day) call him Stinky. We got to the area called "C-core", and he was cleaning the bathrooms earlier there, and we could still smell his cologne. Goddamn!! I know I use a lot of perfume, but not the whole bottle at once!! Seriously, I spray myself with perfume long before I leave the house for work to let it settle so it's not overwhelming, and sometimes you can't even smell it, cause it ends up being pretty light. I like smelling good. I love perfume. I have an addiction to smelly good things, and I wear a different scent every day (I must have at least 20 bottles of spray/perfume). But this guy goes way overboard. The trasher dude said, "Well, maybe he's trying to smell good for the ladies." I said, "I think he's scaring them away!" Honestly.

That said, I don't have really any news to report, other than spending a godawful amount of money on Christmas presents, but what else is new, right? I spent 2 hours at the mall last night, and I think I'm a bit over half done. The kids shopping should be simple. There's an overabundance of choices of toys I can pick from, so I don't think that'll be too hard. Of course, Melissa choosing between things can be a difficult thing, as I am too indecisive. So we'll just see how this turns out. But, anyway, I ended the night shopping at Ross for myself. Heh, I spent a lot on myself, but I needed stuff, dammit! When you haven't gone clothes shopping for a couple of years, your stuff wears out, and no matter how you take care of it, it doesn't matter. A few years of wearing the stuff repeatedly will do that. So, I bought a couple of pairs of jeans, a shirt, and some socks, and a belt. I think I'll be going back to the mall next week, so I just may acquire more than that.

Alrighty, now's the time to say goodbye. I will be back tomorrow afternoon, and if Sean doesn't monopolize my time as he always ends up doing as I am trying to read email/blog/blogread, etc, maybe I'll get this out earlier. Who knows? Well, I'm gonna end this with a few more quotes, though more serious than Sean's wonderful words of wisdom at the top. Have a superb night and morning!! I hope everyone is doing well!!! Love you all!!!

  Yucky Mondays

I know, that sounds like a young kid wrote that, but that's how I felt today. Not because I woke up in a yucky mood, or felt bad, but I had a crappy surprise this morning. I walk into the building, and my supervisor, Jason, decides to tell me that I'd be cleaning the bathrooms for just today, and then go back to training with the other girl, Amy. I almost cried. That was not nice news to give me first thing Monday morning. Especially when you haven't done that for about 4-5 days, thought you'd never have to deal with that bullshit again, and know that almost every damn department had mandatory overtime, so the place is gonna look like a total shithole. (Excuse the language; I'm not too fond of how my day started)

Once I got done the one building's bathrooms, I wasn't in such a bad mood, and I was just getting back in the swing of things, and then I get the freaking cart out of the closet, and the wheel is messed up. The rubber on it was split down the middle, and it was a real bitch to try to push that thing. So I called the boss, and he told me Jason'd be down in 15 minutes. Well, I was almost done the first two bathrooms, which take all of about 45 minutes to get done for both, and I heard Jason page me. I didn't hear the extension number, so I said "F--- that, he'll page me again." (Not to mention, I forgot where the nearest phone was, so I didn't feel like wasting my time looking for one; I was late already, dammit!!) He didn't page me again, but him and the boss came strolling down to find me, and Jason told me that after my break, he'd replace the wheel. Well, that was quite a show there. Him and this other dude that does the "trashing" (aka pushing dumpsters, and emptying them) had one hell of a time trying to get the wheel off. And I'm standing there thinking, "If only Josh were here..." So, that made me even later, and because of all the nasty filth on the floor, I mopped each bathroom, and I ended up having to skip 3 bathrooms. I supplied it, but I knew the second shift bathroom cleaner was coming in, and I had to do what I had to do. I wasn't gonna kill myself, and she's done it to me, so that was another "f--- it" thought I had today. I hate doing that, but it wasn't exactly my fault the damn wheel got fucked up.

So. That was the gist of my day. I won't go into anymore details; I'm sure you don't want to hear the lovely happenings of the bathroom cleaner, anyway. I told as many of the guys that I've been getting to know about the new position I have, and this one forklift driver, Tony, asked me if I ever thought about modeling. He said that I'm pretty enough to do it. When someone tells you that, it's hard to know how to react. Especially when it's some 30-40 year old guy who's married telling you that. He's a real nice guy, but that did catch me off-guard.

Everyone else was really nice about the news, and I'm gonna miss some of those guys, but some of 'em just freak me the hell out, and I'm glad I won't have to work around them any more. Most of them aren't of the latter group, tho.

After work, I came home and took my shower, cause I felt real dirty and sweaty after cleaning those nasty-ass bathrooms, and then I took a trip to Walmart. I needed to find a cheap winter coat, that wasn't dry-clean only, for work, and I found some other things I needed, so I was happy about that. I saw my one buddy there; apparently she's working there now. I haven't seen her for quite a bit, so that was nice. I wanted to stop and try to have a short convo, but she was talking to her boss, so I figured that would be a bad idea. I should call her sometime, and see if we can get together. At least I know she's still in the area, anyway. I may do that tonight. Hmmm....

Anyway, I shall go now. I know this wasn't a very inspiring post, but I've had a bad day, and I really didn't wanna blog too much tonight, but I decided to to let you all now I'm still alive. So yes, (to quote one of the residents at my weekend job) "I'm still pluggin along." :o) Well guys and gals, have a wonderful night, and Tuesday morning!!!

  Finally!!

I went home last night all pissed about the Mary Kay package thing, but it was sitting there waiting when I walked in the door. So, I was very thrilled about that. Then, of course I stayed up way too late last night organizing things, not just the stuff I got from the Mary Kay order, but other things around my room and such. I'm so tired now. Bleh.

But I had a very good day, and I think I will enjoy myself immensely with the new job. Yes, I told them I'd take the job, and I was supposed to go back to cleaning the bathrooms tomorrow, even if I did choose to take the new job, but the boss told me I would be with the other girl, training. So, another easy day for me tomorrow.

Damn, I am not at all liking the weather forecast for tomorrow and the weekend. Snow is not a good thing. I just don't want it. It may be pretty to look at, but it is just a big pain in the ass if you've gotta be out driving about in it. Not gonna be very happy if I look out the window tomorrow morning, and it's completely white. That means it's a suck-ass driving trip home, and I won't be coming here if it's that bad. So, that would explain if there is no word from me tomorrow. But I dunno how much they're forecasting, so I might be making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Ah well, I know there was more to blog about, but my heart isn't into it. I dunno why it's been like that lately; maybe because I go home after work, take a shower and then come here. A lot of my good stuff pops into my head in that time period, and I get all excited to get here, but I get sidetracked and stuff, and by the time I get home again tonight, the night's half over for me to do laundry and other crap. In fact, the other night, I didn't even eat dinner til about 7 something. Damn, it's getting late already!! I think I may have to re-think my time schedule here. I think taking my shower right when I get home from work is a good idea, but I'm starting to think that maybe I should just head on over here right after work, and then go home early and take my shower then. I dunno. I know I think too much, but ever since I've been doing this routine after work this week, I've been too tired, I don't get to bed early enough, and I'm eating too late. I know tonight I'm skipping a lot of stuff online, since I want to leave in a few minutes, but I still won't have a hell of a lot of time. Well, I'll try to shower after stopping by here tomorrow (if I am coming over), and then I can leave earlier, and get more done. Ah well. I'll figure out something that works. I just know I have to change something, otherwise it'll just keep annoying me.

Well, here's a couple of quotes for ya, and have a good night, and a great day tomorrow!!! :oD

  Geez!!!

Just a question: How late do UPS guys work? I'm really curious, because it is now 5:30 pm, the arrival date is still today, and it's still in transit. Goddammit. I'm not liking the UPS service at the particular moment!

Like I stated a few moments ago, I'm too damn impatient.

What Melippa thought ~ 12/03/2003 05:34:00 PM  Permalink

  Too impatient

I'm waaaaay too impatient today. Just ask Sean. I checked my Mary Kay order, and it says it's "in transit" and it left at 8 something this morning, and I just keep checking it, but I see nothing new there. I'm gonna cry if it's not at home when I get there. Seriously. I feel like such a little spoiled kid about it, like waiting for Christmas, and then waking up at like 4 am on Christmas morning and realizing you have to wait another few hours. Dammit. I am not that patient. Never have been, and I doubt that I ever will. Gah.

Well, I have found out some more news about the job. I am going to follow around the girl who is quitting tomorrow for the entire day to see what she does, and I can decide after that whether I want it or not. I think I already have my answer of course, but I'm just going with the flow here. I get a break from my real job anyway, so all is good. And it's payday tomorrow, and I found out that I will be getting paid for the holidays, unlike what was originally thought (Did I write about that yesterday? Damn, I can't remember. Well, if I did, sorry for repeating myself; just so happy about that lil bit of news). Let's see, what other news did I have?? Oh this is not so good news. I also found out that if I do take the new job, then they may offer the first shift position to the now second shift bathroom cleaner. Remember, the one who nearly drove me to murder?? Not really murder, but close. I wanted to get away from her asap. Now, she has the chance to work the same shift as me, and I know I'll be seeing her too much for my liking in that situation. That's another thing I may cry about.

Ah, I almost forgot my dream. It wasn't of a sexual nature (which seems weird not to have anything to do with sex for me), but it really was a bit weird. I was dreaming that I was at my grandmother's house with my sister, and the barn that my grandmother apparently was supposed to own (which isn't really there in the real world) was burning down, and I was completely freaking out. I was so upset, and the firefighters weren't getting there fast enough...it was not a pleasant dream, to say the least. I hope tomorrow I wake up to a nicer dream.

Well, I don't have much else to talk about. Hopefully I will be more energetic tomorrow, and have more to blog about. Other than that, enjoy the quotes below, have a grand ol' night, and I will be back tomorrow!!
