I haven't updated in months...
So...yeah...
In 2008...I graduated from college, bought a car, bought a house, had another kid.
2009 already sucks. Joe has 2 months left before Circuit City closes their doors. It sucks..but we're trying to be positive about it. Instead of getting my computer and our new laminate floors, we're going to stick that cash in the bank. I'm still going to get my new refrigerator, stove, and our privacy fence. We're just going to have my cousin's company come in and clean our carpets.
Joe is going to take this opportunity to go back to school, I think. He needs to decide what he wants to do first, though.
He's also going to be a stay at home dad while he's on unemployment. He could use the break.
I'm also in the market for a new job. We're not sure how much longer the firm is going to last, so I've already started putting in applications elsewhere. I might have to talk to my aunt and see if she's connected anywhere that can get me a job.
So that's it for now...

So Jack hooked me up with this awesome new computer yesterday!
I now have an Acer laptop with 3 gigs of ram, 160 gig hard drive, dvd burner, built in web cam, surround sound, and a bunch of other nifty stuff.
Its quite a bit heavier than my older computer, but oh well.
I gave my Gateway to Joe. He thought he was getting this one, but Jack gave it to me because I'm about to graduate from JALC, so this is my "yay for hard work" present. Hells yeah. I like it alot.
And Joe really doesn't have anything to bitch about. He still got a free computer out of the deal. It isn't like he's ever online anyway. The Acer is so much better for computer games. I haven't played the Sims 2 on it yet, but I'm going to here in the very near future...probably after I get done writing this as a matter of fact.
Adam was jealous. He wanted this computer and he wanted Jack to give Joe the other one (it had just about the same specs as the Gateway). Jack kept the other Acer for himself though. After I get it online and hooked up with anti-virus and anti-spyware and put his games on it, he's going to take it over the road with him.
This one has issues with the battery and the surround sound. Which is no biggie. They thought it didn't have sound at all. I switched the default from the surround sound to normal speaker, and now it works. The battery is screwed up though. If I don't have it plugged in, it randomly shuts off.
So yeah..that's it for now.

So I guess I need to update more often, now that Kate and Shoe have joined the livejournal community.
I have been pretty lax lately...ever since Rejeana got me hooked on MySpace. Now that I think about it, she was also the one that started me on livejournal too. That whore...getting me addicted to shit....

| High School Reunion |
[05 Mar 2008|08:28pm] |
So..I'm sitting here, watching tv, and a commercial comes on for a show called "High School Reunion". It says that this is an original show, made just for the TV Land network.
Strange thing is, I remember a show exactly like this one, with the same title and everything, that came on the WB a few years ago. At least I'm pretty sure it was the WB.
Does anyone else remember that show?
And also....
I'm going to Chicago for the first time at the beginning of April. I'm not sure what part of Chicago I'll be in (I'm going for a business conference), but is there anything I should see or do while I'm there?

| Work Drama!! |
[19 Feb 2008|08:01pm] |
TQC, how do you deal with drama at work?
( TL;DR back story... )
Summary: I'm taking over most of the work for another employee. She's going to view it as me stealing her job..she's going to be super pissed and create a ton of work drama..
So..how do I deal with this? There's no way in hell I can turn the job down. Not for nearly $15 an hour. It isn't my fault she's dropping the ball, but I know she's going to treat me like it is. grr..
And in case you don't care about that..
Winter storm or not, I'm going to a Seether/3 Days Grace/Breaking Benjamin concert on Thursday. Has anyone seen any of these bands live? How was it?
When was the last time you went to a concert? Who did you see?

| Video Store Clerk.... |
[01 Jul 2007|08:59pm] |
After being out of the customer service industry since September, I finally got a job at a tiny, independently owned video store in May. We're not a busy video store and it is a very laid back environment. Hell, I get paid to watch television and play my Nintendo DS while I occasionally rent out some movies and video games. I couldn't have asked for a better job.
That being said, I really don't have any rules to follow. As long as I'm not a complete asshole and don't hide from the customers, I can pretty much do whatever I want.
To Every Single Customer I had in the 6 hours I worked today:
No, we don't have any copies of Shooter in. They are due back tomorrow. No, I'm not lying to you. We only received six copies to start with and they were all rented out yesterday. Why yes you see the cases on the shelf behind me, but no there aren't any movies in them. Yes, I'm sure. Would you like me to reserve a copy for you? No? Then don't bitch when you don't get one Monday either.
- No love,
- Poor Video Store Slave
I'll have to post later about the douche bag with a foot fetish that keeps calling me and the horrible parents that have no concept of child discipline.

| Kinda OT |
[24 Jul 2006|05:48pm] |
So after almost 8 months of unemployedness, I start work tomorrorw at 6 am. Where, you ask?
A 24 hour gas station. It fit into my college schedule and its about a 3 minute walk from my house. Wish me non sucky customers for my first day!

| Bank suckiness |
[12 Jul 2006|05:49pm] |
Joe and I have our checking and savings accounts through Old National Bank. We chose that bank because they had one in the town that my husband used to work in and they have one in the town that he works in now. Usually we don't have a problem..that was until last month at least.
( Cue the badness )

| Early Valentine's Day |
[04 Feb 2006|11:34pm] |
Joe and I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day tonight instead of the 14th. We figured it would be really busy and not worth the hassel to try and go out.
We went out for dinner. We weren't in the mood for anything "fancy", so we went to Taco John's. I'm all for a churro now and then. Plus potato oles are the shit. Taco Bell sucks ass!!!
After dinner we hightailed it to the mall. I bought Joe Call of Duty 2, Big Red One. The other day I went to the mall and got him a fuzz buster. So yea...I spent about $110. On Valentine's Day I'm going to buy some flowers and go put him in his car while he is at work. :)
After we got done at EB, we went to Kay Jeweler's for my present.
I like it. It was meant to be too. It fit without any sizing. That makes me happy. I found other rings that I like, but they weren't in my budget. :(
For Mother's Day, Joe is going to get me a birthstone ring. I need one that has 2 Alexandrite stones in it. One for him and one for Xander. If we have another kid, I'll get another ring that has mine and that baby's stones in it.
Well that's all for now. Its pretty late. I don't think I'll go to bed though. Joe is in the living room playing video games. I think I'm going to sit here and watch Law and Order SVU. I might put in one of my new movies...I dunno...lalala..talking to myself...lalalala.

So..the hubby and I are going to have a talk when he gets home.
I'm tired of him being romantically deficient.

| You Have a Choleric Temperament | 
You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.
You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.
At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior. |

| totally me..i was meant for this |

| Your Career Type: Conventional | 
You are orderly and good at following a set plan.
Your talents lie in working with written records and numbers in a systematic, orderly way.
You would make an excellent:
Bank Teller - Bookkeeper - Court Clerk
Mail Carrier - Post Office Clerk - Secretary
Timekeeper - Title Examiner - Typist
The worst career options for your are artistic careers, like comedian or dancer. |

| Hehehe |

| Cheese Pizza | 
Traditional and comforting.
You focus on living a quality life.
You're not easily impressed with novelty.
Yet, you easily impress others. |

| How wrong is this? |
[18 Jan 2006|11:04pm] |
| Popular Kid | 
In high school, everyone knew your name - even if you didn't know theirs.
In fact, your still skating by on your looks and charm. Nothing wrong with that! |
