random: May 2006 Archives

1. I hate my job. Which is not surprising. I haven't liked a lot of the jobs I've had. The ones I have liked have all had some event happen that forced me to leave or start looking. My jobs have been like bad relationships. You know how people get into a cycle of one horrible, not good for them guy after another and can't see that these aren't the kind of people they should be around? That seems to be me with my jobs.
2. I have this great idea. For a web portal site that could be quite useful. But I think if it was to ever be implemented, I'd need to write a business plan, get a business loan, work on it full time and hire people to work on it with me. That makes it quite overwhelming and it will probably never happen.
3. I had so much fun taking pictures of John. I took about 160 pictures at Gold Cup. Probably about half of them were of John. Now I see why my friend Kerry loves taking photos of kids.
4. I had a great birthday. My husband who's not supposed to get my any presents this year 'cause I got awesome earings on our cruise last December surprised me with flowers and a card, and a 1GB compact flash card for the camera that I mentioned I wanted and a new alarm clock (I've been looking on and off for like 5 years for something smaller and less complicated). I got some beautiful flowers from my inlaws and my friend Deb surprised me with three agility books, which was so thoughtful of her. My mom even managed to time the arriving of a card to actually get here on my birthday.
5. Today is Kathy's birthday. So happy birthday Kathy!

I'm thinking I need to have this tatooed across my forhead.

I am so sick of the e-mails: open a ticket that says XYZ. I would have taken THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME to open a ticket as it did to send the e-mail.

Please coordinate a meeting with everyone listed on this e-mail to discuss blah. It would HAVE TAKEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME to send a meeting notice as it took to send the e-mail to everyone asking me to invite them to a meeting.

Please write an e-mail saying XYZ for so and so to send out. Ummm, if you know what the e-mail should say then you or so and so should write the e-mail not me.

Please add this to the contacts. Why didn't you just add it to the contacts INSEAD OF E-MAILING ME TO DO IT?!?!?!?

T.G.I.F.

This hasn't been a good week for pets in my family. My cousin Sue and her husband Mike lost Fuzz Ball yesterday.

It's nice to have those on occassion. Okay, so it wasn't really uneventful, it was just low-key compared to what May has in store for us.

Saturday I did some work on a website and we went shopping for my birthday bbq. Nothing too exciting just some hamburgers, chicken, and beer from Costco. I asked Chris if it was bad luck to have a 30th birthday party before I actually turn 30. Maybe my 30th year will be a bad one or what if I don't even make it to 30? Nothing like being superstitious.

Well, the bbq is this weekend and I won't actually turn 30 until Tuesday. Hopefully I'll still have a good 30th year. This was the only weekend this month though that there was time for a celebration. And for once we're not celebrating my birthday the same weekend as Mother's Day! Not that that's really a bad thing, but last year, we never did get around to my birthday dinner. Oh well.

Sunday morning I had a private agility lesson with Cisco and Berkley. I'm really liking private lessons, you get so much more feedback that is specific to you and your dog(s). Cisco, Berkley and I were run ragged. They took naps when we got home. I watched the LOST recap (now I at least have some idea what the show is about) and then Chris and I went out to West Virginia to see my parents' new house.
