once again

I am reminded of why I hate my job. Come to work on a Saturday & just sit around while other people work. Um, no thanks.

A-ha!

I was able to circumvent the work blockage or I just had no idea where my blog was! Now I can add my blog to my favorites and blog away......

phew!

Writing from La Jolla, CA. On vaca with the family. Went to Disneyland on Sunday. Drove down to La Jolla on Monday. Went to the San Diego Zoo today & going to Legoland tomorrow. Then we are driving back home. I'm tired just writing this!

I've been wanting to update my blog from work, since I don't have much to do, but I think I'm blocked! Will try again when I return on Monday the 31st.

Quick update

I was off work for a little less than 3 months. Not too bad. I started my new job in mid-Dec. I find out today that I (well the whole company) have to take a paycut. I found out though, I only had to take 1%. I guess a small price to pay to keep my job. It should be offset with this new stimulus tax thing.

My Grandpa turned 100. He's still in really good health. I hope I inherited his longevity genes.

More to post later............

long time no post

It's been a while since I've posted. Not much has changed, except for the fact that after 7 years of loyalty I was laid off of work. Thanks alot! I'd mention names, bit I still need a reference, so they will remain nameless!

Aside from that here's a few little tid-bits that are on my mind today:

• When I woke up at 6:30 this morning, (thanks daylight savings time) it was raining. About 2 hours later I heard a neighbor washing off his patio area for about 30 minutes. Really???
• Daylight savings time, anyone know who I can write to to get rid of it for California???
• Why am I the only one eating the Halloween cake that I baked, anyone else live here, want to help?
• I can't wait for Tues, so we can be over the election and twenty thousand propositions. My daughter is reading the signs, I hope she's not going around saying yes on 8, since I'm not voting yes on 8, but apparently the neighbor is.
• I already mailed in my ballot. Yea me!
• I think I owe my SIL $40, but I keep forgetting to ask her.
• I am so hooked on the Parking Wars TV show.
• I heard King of the Hill was cancelled. That sucks, I love that show.
• After I updated my PC with something from Microsoft, whenever I shut down, I get a message that something is still running, sprtsomething.exe. I don't even know what that is.
• Houses in RB gave out good candy this Halloween. Thanks neighbors!!
• Some people in my city were not so nice this Halloween: http://tinyurl.com/rbobama

Since, I got up at 6:30 today, I am ready for bed. Good night......

work

Why does work blow? Does management think we are all stupid? They lay off someone 10 days ago & think no one will notice, so they don't make an announcement? Hello, everyone knows that there's going to be more lay-offs, so get them over with, so we can all resume normal life. Geez!

Friday notes

I haven't posted in a while. Not much going on. Had a pretty good laugh today. I have a few friends at work, but generally, I keep work as work. But, my 1 good friend tells me today that she was at Happy Hour with work people a couple weeks ago. Alot of the marketing people were there. As a back story, I really don't like the marketing department because I feel like they get special treatment and all kinds of perks that no one else gets. Which is really funny too, because DH does marketing & we used to enjoy those perks ourselves. Anyways, one of the marketing girls asks my friend what was up with me. My friend tells her that I am cool, but that I am not really a people person. The marketing girl says that she wants to be my friend, but that I never talk to her! I think that is so funny, yet true. I don't even know why she would want to be my friend. She's probably in her early 20's, cute, single, no kids, dresses really nice. I have no idea what I would bring to that friendship! I think I'm going to toy with her. Be nice & say hi one day & then go back to ignoring her the next! I might have to give her a shot though, there's so much drama with the other work friends that I was thinking I might just have to keep the 1 good one & just be professional with the rest. We'll see what happens!
