Went to visit Angela. She's in the hospital, poor girl. She's been in and out for over a week now. Met her at work, fell in love. She's adorable and feisty and sweet and determined and intelligent and adorable!  Got to missing her at work, as we have mostly the same days to be there slaving away. Got ahold of her and found out where she is, ( Read more... )

Really, you shouldn't do it. It can end up a very painful way. Nuff said.

So the friends that I were worried about.. they seem to be doing okay. Got to talk to them. Yay! Well, the female part of the duo, at any rate. It's nice to know that others can survive the nasties of life. I adore that duo.

I started reading a book with a forward ( Read more... )

Getting together with a handful of friends today to celebrate Christmas, New Year and birthdays. Yes, lumped all together because of schedules not meshing very well. I haven't seen them in far too long. I am looking forward to this time with them. I know one friend is going to fix mashed potatoes. I tossed together green beans with onions and red ( Read more... )

Ever had an encounter that made you oh so greatfull for something that's currently going on.. or not going on.. in your life?  Yes, well, my job dealing with people for hours on end sometimes does that for me. Like last night. I don't know how I know.. but I /KNOW/ that this woman was very afraid of her husband. She was talking very softly with me ( Read more... )

I think the title speaks for itself. I'm tired. Though I love the fact that I have a job, and enjoy helping folks, I miss my family. Ah well, what can you do?

11:38. There will be a new President soon. At a time when history has been happening during my life, this is another thing that is going to impact it. For ill or good, I do not know. I am not gifted with a foresight like my friend.. and I hope his ill feelings are wrong.

But what I want to know is how the Associated Press could possibly have a ( Read more... )

So talking to a customer today, while waiting for some action to happen, was just chattering about today's economy and how hard it is to find a job worth what effort you put into learning the 'trade'. This gentleman had YEARS of experience..had company people telling him "You could teach ME how to do this job!" then turn around and offer him entry ( Read more... )

I have them for fingers. I woke up swollen today, and it seems like my fingers are big, fat sausages. Ick. Hurts to bend them. Oh well. My 12 hr shift yesterday went pretty quickly. Guess that's 'cause I was so freakin' busy. I barely had any time to crochet. I do that between calls. Right now I'm making a blanket, though I stopped to work up a ( Read more... )

So I'll be pulling a 12 hour shift today. Part of me dreads being at work that long.. wow, 12 hours of unhappy people. (You see, I am a customer service rep, inbound call center. ) Don't get me wrong, I am so very very grateful to have a job. I got laid off in January from my career of choice. (HVAC/R) 9 months of not being able to get hired on ( Read more... )

Yes, this is my first post, as the subject title says. I was directed here by masterloganspet.. lovely lovely sweet woman. Not sure what all I will put here, as I'm not overly talkative where myself is concerned. I was on her page looking at some of her posts and boggling. Wow. Paragraphs. Then I hit Master Logan's page and boggled again. Wow. I ( Read more... )
