I'm the top fan for The Sound and Sad Lovers & Giants on last.fm Haha. That's funny. Maybe I listen to them too much.....?

BIrds are weird

Sun, 04 Sep 2005 12:40:45 GMT

So, its like 7:30 in the morning, and I'm sitting out on my porch with my dog, enjoying the quiet morning.. It actually feels nice out today....for now anyway. Anyway, I hear this noise and think to myself, that sure sounds like a woodpecker.. I look around and sure enough I find the little red headed bird sitting on top of someone's chimney.. then I hear it again, but this time fainter.. So I look around and there's another one on a telephone pole. They were taking turns hammering out little messages, on on the pole and one on the metal thingy that covers your chimney top. Birds are weird.

Been awhile...

So.. It's been quite awhile since I've updated. (Like anyone reads this, heh.) Work's been quite taxing on my nerves lately. What's new right? I suppose things will settle down soon enough, we've been going thru a lot of change in the way things are handled. I'm just so tired....

Well, here it is Friday, and a long weekend.. I'll be sitting home bored I'm sure. I'm broke. I figure it'll be a weekend of marathon DR-days. :P

It's been what five days since Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast, and help is just now arriving... It's just sickening to me how things are being handled.. New Orleans isn't that far from where I am, so you can imagine its been the talk of the town all week.. My city luckily didn't see the storm come thru.. Some high winds and very little rain on Monday evening, was the worst we saw. Though a city a couple hours north, is widely without power still. I'm to the point where I can't even watch the news, I'm so tired of seeing all the horrible things happening down there. Poor people, having to go thru this. :(
There are handful of people here at my job, that have family that went thru the storm, and hadn't heard anything from them until yesterday, or this morning. Thank god they are okay, is all we can say. Though, there is still someone here who has no idea where her mother is and if she's ok.. I can't even imagine not knowing where someone of my family was after something like this.

Happy Friday..!

Fri, 12 Aug 2005 13:45:28 GMT

Couldn't get here fast enough! Plan for the day: somehow get through the work day as painlessly as possible. Maybe if I stay out of sight it will work... *ponders* It's worked for the past hour, only 7 more to go.

Thu, 11 Aug 2005 21:10:41 GMT

Thanks captainlucy! I'm laughing all alone in my office after seeing that fish heads song.. People are looking at me like I've totally lost it. Maybe I have :)

Job stress..

Tue, 09 Aug 2005 23:37:26 GMT

Oh how much more fun can it get. I get up way too early this morning, and instead of sitting around procrastinating, I actually get ready and go into work. So I'm there earlier than everyone, getting into my zone; have music on, the lights are all off except where I am.. peaceful.. for the first time in ages, its peaceful. I only get about 45 minutes of this until the noise starts...Machines start to get turned on, crappy radio blasting out on the production floor. *sigh* I wish I didn't hate my job. It'd make everything so much easier.
I'm finally getting serious about moving. And have two places I'm looking into... We'll see how that goes.

Mon, 08 Aug 2005 14:15:44 GMT

If anything, this post is here to remind me how bad this weekend was, and to NEVER do it again. One day I'll learn to stop talking to a certain someone. :)
So anyway, after getting home somewhere around 3 am, and passing out on the couch, I slept pretty much all day Saturday. Had planned to do a lot around the house Sunday.. Yeah right. Was generally just a bad day overall, went to bed feeling like crap too.

Is it over yet?

Thu, 04 Aug 2005 20:00:36 GMT

I'm sitting here wondering 'Is this day ever going to be over?' The past three hours have been murder. Yet I've still got an hour or so to go before I can even think about leaving for home. The day's been super busy, and my brain is fried. I'm not even sure why I'm making myself stare at the screen right now to write this. Or really, why I write at all. Like I actually have an audience or something. Oh well. ;)

So I'm looking forward to tomorrow night, actually have plans to go out. Fun times to be had, for sure. I'm sure all I'll be able to talk about is how excited I am about FINALLY getting back in touch with my best friend ever. :) We lost touch after high school, he joined the Navy and moved off, I got married..and then divorced. I guess drifting apart was to be expected. About two years ago I started looking for him. I couldn't find an address or phone number to save my life. But to everyone's surprise, we reconnected last week. I couldn't be happier. And to make it even BETTER!! He's moving to FL at the end of the month, which means I'll get to see him all the time. It'll be great to have a friend around again, not to mention having a place to crash at the beach. :)

Long time..

Wed, 03 Aug 2005 13:50:49 GMT

So yeah, been awhile. I've nothing to say! Cept its oooonly Wednesday, and that's depressing. :P
Well...more when I actually have something worth writing.

Monday...

Mon, 06 Jun 2005 13:11:37 GMT

...already! If it weren't for this cup of coffee, I don't think I'd be all that happy right now. I just had the most relaxing weekend--considering. First one I've spent at home in almost two months, maybe more. Even the three hours I spent cleaning the inside of my car was okay. And let me tell you; It was horrible in there. Too much carting around my dog. I'll tell you though, after getting all the dog hair off the backseat, I'll surely think twice about letting her in the car! Anyway... This week at work should be pretty interesting. It's nice, Jan's on vacation.. The production floor is quieter than normal, though I still have to hear redneck music that they insist on playing way too loudly out there. You can only ask nicely so many times to turn it down. Should be a fairly easy week, we don't seem so busy. I busted my ass on Friday to get most of my work done so I could take this week easy. I won't be here for a couple days at the end of the week , so I didn't want any surprises.
So, I'm such a nice daughter..I'm helping my parents move back to S.C. this weekend. Quite a drive for me, but it'll be nice to go back home and play tourist for a couple days. Who knows maybe I'll look into a few things for a job while I'm there. I'm trying to find somewhere to move... just can't decide where! I'm not that sure I'd want to go back there, what, with all the family BS that I'd have to put up with. Though, I am entertaining the idea. Decisions, decisions... ::ponders west:: :P
Okay time to actually work!

Thu, 31 Mar 2005 14:13:22 GMT

I keep playing this song over and over. Maybe its the weather...?

LUFTHANSA, TheChameleons

I'm in a spin
I won't let this darkness in
Turning around
Grinning as I leave the ground
Wanting it all
I'm tearing right through that wall
Once and for all
I'm tearing through that wall
Taking it out

A little rain's going to keep on falling on me
I'm going to keep on calling to you

I'm in a spin
Spinning at the speed of sound
I'm in a spin
Hanging with the lost and found
I'm on fire
rushing on my way to you
I'm on fire
Rushing on my way to you
Checking it out

A little rain's going to keep on falling on me
I'm going to keep on calling to you

I'm on fire
Beside you
I'm on fire

Fri, 25 Mar 2005 13:29:55 GMT

It's Friday, I should be happy.. I was in a perfectly good mood until I sat in front of this computer... I just found out a close friend is leaving DR. I just don't know what to say.. I realize not everyone stays forever. Hell, we do actually have real lives. But when it's out of the blue like that it just leaves me feeling--

Oh well.

Finally

Thu, 24 Mar 2005 04:28:18 GMT

It's here! My laptop has arrived, I can quit bitching now. It couldn't have gotten here at a better time. My other one died AGAIN tonight. Yay..!

So this week at work has been odd. I barely remember Monday, But I know the past two days have been hell. And the best part...I have to work on Saturday! :( Came home with a terrible headache again. Fun times...

Wed, 16 Mar 2005 20:45:15 GMT

It's already after two o'clock! I'm being very unproductive at work today. Am I ever going to catch up? I guess its my own fault, really. I spent the better part of the morning messing around with stuff for my car. Hopefully I'll have it sold fairly quick. Less painful that way, haha. :)

So, after work yesterday, I went home and made myself a too strong vodka tonic w/ a splash of chambord (yum!). Didn't even begin to put a dent in the mood I was in. Poked around in DR pretty much the whole evening. Luckily I didn't have a repeat performance of dying like I did earlier in the day. I've moved myself out to M'riss for awhile, the Theren area was just seeming so...confined. I think this is the first time I've been away from "home" and not whined about going back within an hour or so. Heh. I've been out here for days now, and I'm wondering if I'll go back anytime soon. A break from Theren and everything happening or not happening there, is needed. Anyway..

Woke up in the middle of the night last night, and couldnt go back to sleep--only to find my laptop with that horrible blue screen of death. Took me an hour to get it working enough again to boot it. So I had to go ahead and buy a new one. This day was coming, I just didn't plan on it so soon. Ahh well, it was old, it was its time! Hah. Hopefully I can get it by Friday, if I have to not have a computer over the weekend I'm likely to go crazy. Though I'd surely get a lot done around the house if I didn't have the distraction. Hey, there's an idea :P

All day I thought it was Tuesday.. Umm where'd I loose a day!? That's good of course, means only two more days of hell. Oh how I've been living for the weekends lately.

Frustrated

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 16:40:07 GMT

Ok, so I stayed glued to my desk all morning trying to get thru the pile of work. I think I've actually put a dent in it. I just got out of a BS meeting with everyone about our new inventory/fulfillment system. And as always there someone that bitches and complains because "they aren't involved"... and its always the people that doesn't *need* to be involved. It just annoys the crap out of me. There's a whole string of words I'd like to scream at these certain people. None of which are very nice, at all.
What makes it worse is, I'm pretty certain I'm the only person that sees the problem with letting everyone and their brother in the building get into the workings of the system. There were only two of us, myself and another lady in the office, messing around with it last week during training...and we *still* managed to screw something up. Why? Well, because 1. we didn't know what the other one was doing, or not doing. and 2. it's just that damn easy to screw up. I'm sure once we get the kinks worked out everything will run smoothly. But not if five people are doing whatever they feel like. It just doesn't work that way.
I hate this job. Ok, I take it back, I just hate the redneck idiots I work with.
On a lighter note, my dad is going to help me sell my car. Think I'm going to bring it down to where he lives and let him drive it around. Probably more people where he is that'd appreciate it anyway. People here only want thier stupid pickup trucks. If it isn't 5 feet off the ground its not a vehicle. Someone save me from this madness. :P

I think its a trend, I'm in a constant bad mood. Time for a job change don'cha think? Who even reads this?

Aarrrrgh!

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 13:47:58 GMT

It's too damn early for this shit. It's going to be a looooong day. I'm reminded again why its BAD to work with your spouse, or in my case ex-spouse.

When do things..

Mon, 14 Mar 2005 16:48:58 GMT

..go back to normal? I'm starting to think never. So our helpful fulfillment trainer guy, (heh), was here from Wednesday last week thru Friday. I never knew it was possible to make your actual brain hurt. Boy, was I wrong. I was so tired after the three days of having a shit load of info stuffed into my head, it wasn't even funny. I went to bed Friday night before the sun went down.
Hopefully I will remember everything and not have to call him every other day with stupid questions. I'm sure he'd really LOVE that. Haha. I'm glad he was nice, and didn't come in here with an "I'm better than you attitude". The whole thing was actually enjoyable. Though I could've used a break from his talking sometimes! Once he started, get comfy, cause he didn't stop. Which was good, I guess.
The only thing bad about the end of last week was dealing with all the fucking high school drama from other people I work with. If you know me, you know what I mean, and there's no point in going into it. So most of you are spared the bitching and moaning.
I've finally convinced myself its a good thing to sell my Nissan. It is good, it is... Getting to be more of an expense than anything. I mean it just sits there in the driveway. I don't know why I'm making such an issue out of it. I guess because I *wanted* it so badly and finally got it..then my life went to shit. It's just a car right? So what. I think I'll write up and ad today if I have time. Maybe I can have it sold pretty quickly, I could use the money anyway. :)
My lease is up in September...six months. That's really not that long considering how the past six flew past without me even being aware. I need to start taking steps to get out of this place..change is good.

Waiting...

Wed, 09 Mar 2005 14:26:19 GMT

I'm back at work today, trying to keep busy and not fall asleep. Hah. I swear it's going to take a week to recover from this trip. The guy that is coming from...Atlanta? Somewhere, I don't know--out of town, how about that, is late. He's going to be here for three days for training. Fun times. Ooh wait he's here...

Fun...

Tue, 08 Mar 2005 15:11:00 GMT

Well, its been awhile since I've written. Just got home from Vegas a day ago.. Still tired, and now I'm sick. It was a wild time. Very glad I went. Three days of drunken fun. Haha. I can't believe I hadn't gone back in so many years. Will definitely be going next year too. Think I'll take an extra day or two next time, though.
I was so tired at work yesterday it wasn't even funny. Had to call in this morning..sleepless night and feeling terrible. Our new fulfillment system goes live tomorrow so I HAVE to be there...
I need sleep.

Calm before the storm..

Thu, 24 Feb 2005 04:25:03 GMT

Today's certainly been a trying day. It's over--yay! Feeling ten times better than I have all day, or even in the past few. A friend was nice enough to let me cry, and get some things off my chest. I feel so much better now. Ok back to DR land for me, gotta stop drifting on my friends like this....

There go my plans..

Wed, 23 Feb 2005 18:56:50 GMT

...what can I say.. My job is going to kill me. Next week and two days off (not counting the weekend) CANNOT get here soon enough. I just found out that I'm working Saturday morning. There goes my trip to FL. I just feel like laying down in front of a big truck right now.. This CD isnt helping..the guy committed suicide..

Just a phase

Wed, 23 Feb 2005 03:22:30 GMT

Glad the day is over, only good thing was it's payday. I'd have to admit though, the day went by pretty fast. I'm so stressed over work its not even funny. Almost broke down in tears today about something, what it was--I couldn't even tell you now. Didn't sleep for shit last night, and it looks like another sleepless one tonight...
Sitting here listening to The Chameleons, which has got to be my most favorite band. A song called "Nathan's Phase" is on now.. Here're the lyrics, like anyone really cares:

Of all the faces that you wear
Sometimes joy, sometimes despair
The mask has gone, no mystery
Replaced by vague transparency

Oh, it's just a phase you're going through
It's you
It's just a phase you're going through

The streets of London paved with lead
Just as my lungs are paved with Leb
Brush the cobwebs from my head
Feels like I'm stapled to this bed

Oh, it's just a phase you're going through
It's you
It's just a phase you're going through

The streets of London paved with lead
Just as my lungs are paved with Leb
Brush the cobwebs from my head
Feels like I'm stapled to this bed

Oh, it's just a phase you're going through
It's you
It's just a phase you're going through
Out of tune
Yeah, with this phase you're going through
__

Anyway...

Dust is bad.

Tue, 22 Feb 2005 02:00:56 GMT

Haha, dust is bad. That's the word of the day. Typical monday morning. Didnt want to get up and go to work. No surprise there. Today was a "holiday" -- if you can even call President's Day a holiday. Anyway since it's a federal holiday, the post office was closed. Which means we didn't have to get any of our jobs ready to drop. (Sometimes its nice working at a mailing company) Anyway.. because we had this "free day", we all spent the whole day in the warehouse, rearranging things, cleaning, etc.
It was so dusty in there you could grow something in it. I picked up and moved more boxes than I care to even think about. My legs are killing me! Soon my arms will start to feel it. At least I didn't hurt my back this time. Anyway, it was 8 hours of hellish work, I'm glad the day is oooovvaaah! Haha. And so is this post!
