Psycho Boy


I met a guy over the weekend.......and today he called me a cunt! That's not a good thing! and i told him so....and also told him that people who must use that word in a sentence have serious problems and probably should not be looking for relationships with other human beings. I won';t be talking to him anymore! I just knew something was amiss when I first started talking to him too.. My instincts told me. I should listen more often to them.

Come Sun


Sun's gone again...damn!!
Singing: "sun, sun, sun here we come"....."sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy"

I'm working on my Gratitude 101 list...thanks to "Myheadhurts" list which reminded me that I'd like to do that!

I'm at work now...trying to get my rear in gear and it's just now working...and I have no thoughts that want to be in this blog right now. (I do have thoughts tho, just not for sharing, lol).

Sun/Mom


I need the sun......it lifts my spirits......my spirit needs lifting......hurry back sun.

My Mom is in a nursing home....she has Alzheimer's disease. She fell two weeks ago and broke her arm. I got a call yesterday that she fell again. She's ok.. Seems she tries to get out of her bed and falls over the guards they have on each side. You've got to understand that my Mom is a funny woman. She's a happy go lucky older person with alzheimers. She sings and laughs and is like a five year old child. She's actually quite entertaining. Altho it breaks my heart that she is ridden with this disease and for all intents and purposes I've lost the mother i've known all my life, I'm happy that she is happy! Getting back to the phone call...I made the suggestion to the social worker that maybe, she may need a lower bed. I mean aren't they the ones in the business and should maybe consider that there is something wrong with this picture and take some corrective action so maybe, just maybe she won't fall out of bed again. Well...I got them to give her a lower bed. Hopefully she won't be falling anymore, at least out of bed. Bless ya Mom!

All the things they teach ya in kindergarten, he knows! However,......he smells! I give him baths, yes! But he's got this smell that really is not pleasant. He's not sick.....I clean his ears and all the folds on his face....I brush him...wipe him....to no avail......I suppose that's just the way it's going to be.....Its still ok...he's still my lil snot dog and he loves me unconditionally...and that's just fine with me.

Bad Boss?


Labor group seeks best stories of worst bosses

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. labor movement is asking workers to move their complaints about their bosses from the water cooler to the Web.
Working America, the AFL-CIO union federation's affiliate for nonunion workers, invited workers throughout the country on Monday to share their best stories about their worst bosses in its "My Bad Boss Contest."
Top prize is a one-week vacation.
"It's an opportunity for people to get this off their chests and to see what's happening out there and to shine a spotlight on this," said Working America Executive Director Karen Nussbaum.
It's also an opportunity for the worker advocacy group, which has more than 1 million members, to pick up new members, since contestants must go to www.workingamerica.org to enter.
Standing by to weigh in with on-line comments about the worst-boss stories are author Barbara Ehrenreich, who chronicled the plight of the working poor in "Nickel and Dimed," comedian tuned liberal talk show host Al Franken and liberal commentator Jim Hightower.
Voting for the best worst-boss stories will be done by Web readers over the next six weeks. Each week's top vote-getter will be eligible to compete for the grand prize, a seven-night vacation getaway and $1000 for a round trip air fare, to be announced by August 16
Leading vote-getters as of Monday were:
-- "Russ," whose table-thumping boss at a small Maryland company nixed bonuses, cut overtime and ordered managers to "instill fear" in workers to boost productivity, all because a competing company's owner had a more expensive car, and
-- "Graphics Girl," who left her Pennsylvania media company, and was publicly berated for doing so, after 10 years, including the last five where she worked 50 to 80 hours a week without overtime pay and often without seeing her children. "I missed birthdays and health and years of seasons changing since my office was in a basement with no windows, all for nothing," she wrote.
"It's important to legitimize for people that when you're treated unfairly on the job, that it's not necessarily something you have to swallow," commented Nussbaum.
And then there was "Nobody" from California who warned others by his own example of the perils of entering the contest from a workplace computer. "The fact that my entire Internet connection is monitored by my employer prohibits me from making a contribution," he wrote.

My own Dad passed away when I was 8 years old. Yeah he was young! I got my curly hair from him ya know...lol. Used to hate it. Don't now tho. I have great memories of him tho. I was his princess. I've missed him from my life. Often wonder how things would have turned out if he were here.

For the Benefit of Just D


Seems that my friend and blogger idol.(boondoggled)..is in somewhat of a pickle...........

She'd like to take a trip to a land far away...
The pickle that she's in is how will she pay?

Well, for the benefit of Mrs. D
There will be a show, you see.....
A small donation is all we ask.....
So she can get around to the task
Of going off to this distant land..
So she can hold the sweet sweet hand
Of a prince who'll sweep her off her feet...
The one she's going there to meet...
She'll be so sad if she cannot go
So I urge you all to see the show!

Robotically I Go


HAPPY DANCE FRIDAY!!!!

Fake it til you make it. I'm pretending I'm in a wonderful mood! Blah blah blah blah.

Glad that's its Friday....Looking forward to a nice weekend.

Wish I had a joke to tell. But I don't.

I'm so exciting, arent' I?

Thursday, June 15, 2006


Ok..It's Thursday and I don't give a fuck. It sucks being me today. I'm in one of those moods so people ought to keep away from me. Might be due to the fact that I hurt my shoulder and I'm in a lil pain....might be because I ate lots of carbs for breakfast (after being off them for awhile). Doesn't matter! Just look out or leave me alone. HAVE A NICE DAY!

"Birth" day

http://www.bethanyroberts.com/MondaysChildIsFairofFace.htm

Find the day you were born and what it means.....it's fun!

Hot and dark



BTW, "Easy" ass Tuesday resulted in a power outage on the train I took home. Sat underground for about 45 minutes, in the dark, no a/c, train full of people. Amazingly enough, everyone remained calm and took a nap. I did too! There was nothing I could do about it anyway. (however, if it lasted any longer than that I would have started to freak!) But for that little while, I kept a positive attitude!
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Awake!


Ok Wednesday! They call it hump day cause it's now the slide down to Friday. I don't particularly feel that it should be called that. To me Wednesdays are the awakening to the week!
Got past Monday...Easy Tuesday....Awake Wednesday!...yeah that's it, AWAKE! I usually can tackle anything on a Wednesday. Maybe that's because I was born on a Wednesday. Altho
"they" say "Wednesday's child is full of woe". Oh woe is me! :-) (not really, or at least not at the present moment). LOAP!

<<<<<<<(The god Woden, after whom 'Wednesday' was named. "Odin, the Wanderer" 1886 by Georg von Rosen (1843-1923)

Here's some facts about Wednesdays:

Wednesday is considered either the third or the fourth day of the week, between Tuesday and Thursday. The name comes from the Middle English Wednes dei, which is from Old English Wodnes dæg, meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden who was a god of the Anglo-Saxons in England until about the 7th century AD. Wodnes dæg is like the Old Norse Othinsdagr ("Odin's day"), which is an early translation of the Latin dies Mercurii ("Mercury's day").

An English language idiom for Wednesday is "hump day", a reference to making it through the middle of the work week as getting "over the hump". It is also unofficially (and with some irony) referred to as "the peak of the week".

On TV's The Addams Family, Wednesday (Lisa Loring) was the pale-skinned, black-haired daughter of Morticia and Gomez Addams

easy

Tuesday! Does Tuesday have a feel? (Seinfeld). I think so. It's better than a Monday, for sure. The tension and the dread of coming back to work on a monday is gone. It feels easy! Yeah that's it...Easy....(not like a Sunday morning easy tho, just a Tuesday EASY). Maybe I'll write a song!!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Thank you Susan!


My friend Susan...who passed away a few years back..sent me this card that I have hanging in my office and I read it when I need it. I need it today and maybe you do too:

May you always have an angel by your side~Watching out for you in all the things you do~Reminding you to keep believing in brighter days~Finding ways for your wishes and dreams to take you to beautiful places~Giving you hope that is certain as the sun~Giving you strength of serenity as your guide~May you always have love and comfort and courage~And may you always have an angel by your side........

Grocercy time


Have you ever observed men at the supermarket? I don't mean oogling over them. (altho that's nice too)...I mean watching how they pick items to put in their carts. They have these painstaking expressions on their faces, as if to say, "is this the right one" "should i get this one"?, often with a list in hand most likely prepared by their better halves. Then the cell phone comes out. Calls are made....with item in hand while they read it into the phone, saying something like "well why didn't you say that on the list"? Geeze....come on men, get a lil educated here.... I mean can't you read the minds of those that prepared the list? When it says, "hotdogs" doncha know it means Nathan's? When it says bottled water, doncha know it means Evian? LOL Poor men!

Actually the only men that DO know what they're doing in a supermarket are firemen. I love watching what they're buying. They're usually great cooks too! I usually ask them: What's for dinner tonite? I've actually gotten some hints from them too! (and some phone numbers! ). ;-)
Only kidding about the phone numbers.....I can dream, can't I?

Btw, HAPPY MONDAY!!!!

Saturday, June 10, 2006

Do nothing day


yessss.......it's Saturday morning!!!! No work today! Going to take it easy. Veg out. It's a good feeling!

Friday, June 09, 2006

oh well


Happy Dance Friday!!!! (NOT)

It's been one of those weeks for me. A roller coaster of emotions. I hate when that happens. All the seemingly bad stuff happening at once. Started with Mom falling down and going boom (she 's ok now :-) . Rainy weather cloaded my mood too.

I've also been dealing with someone who is very depressed. Clinically, bad. I'm at my wit's end too. All the anger I've been holding in finally came out this week. Couldn't help it. If it didn't I would have wound up in a black hole too. I've walked away from this before, came back, then walked away. Now I want to run! Where do I go? And how do I deal with the feelings of abandonment that always come up for me? I know the answers will come. I just want them now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rain


Day 7 of rain....just for your info.

And here's a bit of rainy day humor to brighten up your day...he he he

A physician claims these are actual comments from his patients
made while he was performing colonoscopies:

1. Take it easy, Doc, you're boldly going where no man has gone
before.
2. Find Amelia Earhart yet?
3. Can you hear me NOW?
4. Oh boy, that was sphincterrific!
5. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
6. You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married.
7. Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?
8. You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out. You
do the Hokey Pokey...
9. Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!
10. If your hand doesn't fit, you must aquit!
11. Hey, Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.
12. You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?
13. Could you write me a note for my wife, saying that my
head is not, in fact, up there?

Rain, Rain, Go Away


It was a dark and dreary night.......Oh wait, someone wrote that already, huh?
How about "singing in the rain............." (nope someone did that one too).
Rainy days and Sundays? (already taken)...........

Well...day 6 here of rainy, cloudy, humid weather...Kinda goes with my mood...or is it vice versa? Actually I like rain in warm weather. What I don't like is the mile walk from the train to work in it. Have to try and stay a lil dry for the office ya know? Although there are some who would wish I would arrive with a wet T-shirt....but that's a story for another day! Have a good one! ;-)

To My Friends ;-)


Are you tired of those sissy-ass "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship:

1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you finally got laid.

4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about howmuchworse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are wellagain. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.

This is my oath..... I pledge it to the end. "Why?" you may ask;"becauseyou are my friend!!!

Send this to 10 of your closest friends, then get depressed because youcanonly think of 4.

Red Faced


So I went to see Mom in the hospital tonight. Asked the nurse, very indignently, why my mom was sharing a room with a man! Nurse said: "That's a woman". Me: "Oops".

Seeing the Light


Sometimes life hands us dirt. By that I mean sometimes things don't go exactly the way we'd like them to and it seems so unfair and it hurts, hurts real bad. Seems like it'll never get better. So we lash out and hurt those things or people that hurt us. In effect, all this does is make the cycle of hurt keep going, when all we want is for it to cease. It can stop, you know. I've found that I must take responsibility for my part in it all and acknowledge that it's not all one sided, take a deep breath and then become grateful. Yes be grateful for it because once i've crossed over to the other side of the pain and darkness, things look and feel so different...brighter even.
I have found that when I go through the pain, I grow. Lessons are learned because now I have it in my experience. I know at my very essence what it feels like. So now, I don't fear the painful times so much, I look at them as my growing spurts! And if I don't learn any lessons, then shame on me!

Quick Thoughts

Not to go on about the sunglasses thing...but.....Why do people wear them when it's raining out???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Anyway...HAPPY MONDAY !!!!!! A new day, a new beginning!

Came to work to get some rest...lol....spent the weekend visiting Mom at the hospital and arguing with stubborn people about the simplest things.....(more of that later).

One of those days, pt.2

so, is it the hot weather that causes this?

Need I Say More?

Ta Ta For Now


Well.....I finally got around to uncluttering my clothes this past Monday. The "hot" weather brought it on when I suddenly realized that I had no "hot weather" clothes readily available to snatch up off one of the chairs in my bedroom. Not only did I put away my wintery type clothes, I let go of lots of that "stuff" that seemed to be accumulating and multiplying like rabbits. Put them right into big black garbage bags and marked them for donation to a local church. And no, I didn't go thru the "maybe" or "recyle" piles advised by those "experts". Just chucked them in there and closed up the bags! Maybe a year from now I'll wonder "what ever happened to those purple flip flops, or that tee shirt I spent all night tie dying? Right now, tho, no attachments for me. Bye Bye...old clothes....as I revel in my newfound spaciousness!!!!!
