1. I think I'm going to quit my job.

2. I've been feeling "taken advantage of" since I took the position as a fill-in unit clerk while a girl was on maternity leave.

3. Well today was the last straw..I refuse to be taken advantage of or made to feel like a sucker!

4. When I took this fill-in position I was told I'd be taken out of my every-other weekend rotation until this girl came back to take over her position., unless there was a total emergency and they really needed me, which they would inform me of immediately and with advance warning.

5. Well today at 3pm I'm told I'm to work this weekend. Um, hello...NO! I have plans made and in my opinion this is NOT advanced warning!

6. This was just icing on the cake for me! I was never trained properly for this "fill-in" position in the first place, which in the long run may everyone else's job harder than it needed to be. So the whole time I've been doing this job I get attitude because they have to take time out of doing their work to help me. Well it's not my fault I wasn't trained and I always tried my best.

7. My fiance isn't happy with me at all, but I don't care. I feel like if I go in tomorrow they will have "won". Does that make sense? I do like 3 different jobs in that place and just feel under-appreciated and not respected at all! Communication is they key here..if they would have communicated their need for me to work this weekend when the schedule came out a week and a half ago, I would have done it. Now, I'm just fed up!

8. Jbean beat me to 7...sorry for b*itching through my 7 other facts.

boy, do i know how to clear a room or what?

1. i am going to be a factoid hog today (sorry to anyone who gets sick of my facts, lol), but since no one is posting and i have had an interesting past 12 hours.

2. relay for life was mostly good, but so freakin' cold, even all bundled up and by a fire. it got to 42 f, and it was windy, blech! it was so windy that most people couldn't keep their luminaria candles lit. my gang got a system down, though, so we were able to keep ours going.

3. i am catching a cold (this started on thursday night), and only stayed until a little after 2am, because i didn't want to worsen my situation. i had thought it was just my dang allergies, but it ain't goin' away!

4. i stopped by the walmart supercenter before i came home, to get some cold medicine so i could get some rest, as i told the gang i would come back this morning. we decided around 7 am, and closing ceremonies were at 10 am.

5. so i got about 3 hours of sleep (from 3-6 am), and warmed up, and that helped a lot. i went back at 7 am, like i said i would, but then, everyone decided to leave, and we were outta there by 8 am!

6. i was disappointed in myself for not staying the whole time, but i was just miserable, and still am, even with taking the medicine.

7. i smell like a campfire, too.

8. thank you jewels and juju for clearing up the landline phone thing for me.

9. i am excited about my upcoming meet with ducky and family! woo hoo!

happy saturday everyone!

1. jbeany, sorry to hear you're coming down with a cold.

2. This morning Egbob got up early and apologized to me for not telling me this earlier in the week, but he had to go to his high school track/stadium to help the American Cancer Society get started on their walk today!!

3. Small world, huh jbeany? <giggle>

4. I didn't mind that he had to go in, he's such a good, good man and is so very giving of his time and talents and I admire him greatly.

5. Apparently this group is going to use the all-weather track as a focal point for their walking, however there is a route outside the school and through town to walk as well.

6. Since Egbob went into work this morning, I will too, lol. And actually, I knew I would be putting in a few hours today...

7. It's a gorgeous day out this morning...warm and sunny.

8. I'm hoping that Egbob will go take a walk with me at the beach later today and then maybe we can eat at a restaurant near the pier...we'll see.

9. I rented and watched "In America" last night with Egbob...he sorta fell asleep but that was a good thing because I cried my eyes out while watching this movie...it was very bittersweet and touching.

10. Oh! I just remembered, I have to be home by 12 noon so I can hear my son's DJ radio show. I think this is his last show for the school year. And looky here, I did 10 facts...yay!

1. My cordless phone rang and rang, and I talked on it so many times today that it had to recharge!
2. I hope Jbean is feeling better
3. Forget gasoline prices - How much are you paying for MILK? My last purchase a few days ago was $3.49/gallon!

1. In an attempt to save money, I swithced hairdressers.
2. She cut and colored my hair (loved the cut, color a little too dark).
3. Went back and she put in some highlights to lighten it up, but they were a little too chunky.
4. Went and bought a box of color and did it myself, and I love it! LOL
4.5 Essence, where in Texas are you going to be?
5. I get to go to dad's wife's dance class presentation. She is a children's dance teacher. So I get to sit through a boring recital of children I don't even know!!!

5.5 Couldn't an 'emergency' suddenly arise, so you are unable to attend, Annie?

Then before the next invitation, take Dad aside and explain that going to your own daughter's recitals are enough entertainment for you.

Don't let them 'guilt' you in to things, sweetie or it will be never ending. You're a big girl and your Dad should understand 'other' obligations with your own family.

Ah well, do what you must, kiddo. (((hug)))

1. My parents left on Saturday with an upright grand antique piano in their pick-up truck. They drove 650 miles back to Illinois and I'm sure annoyed everyone on the interstate who got stuck behind them!

2. I am now down to one piano and one organ. I can't believe how big my house looks minus two pianos!

3. I have all my grades in for spring semester and have taught one week out of the three week summer session. I am looking forward to getting the summer session over so I can look for houses and move!

4. I probably won't be going to Germany for research this summer, but am going to try to squeeze in another trip to New York City before I move!

5. I had another two days of a garage sale and even though it wasn't advertized and it rained all day both my friend and I cleared $100 each. I need to move my dining room table set and a couple of bookcases out for the next one. I have not gotten rid of everything that I didn't want to move that was bulky or broken. WHEW!

6. I think that I should buy a house with a swimming pool. Mom disagrees. I think that I will house hunt alone because of this. So how much work is a pool? I would be able to use it from March to October for sure, maybe longer. I used to swim everyday and I really miss it.

Awww, that's too bad Annie. Be nice if you could sneak him off for a lunch, just the two of ya.

Well, I can see the problem. New step seems to be hanging on to him for dear life. Where's she think he's going? lol

1. I just got back from visiting with Jmm, Draheid and their DS!
2. Miss Melodie didn't make it this time, because she had previous obligations to visit her other grandparents
3. My DH and I worked on my DS's closet doors today. He did the preparation and I've been putting on the second application of stain. Tomorrow we will put on the clear coat, then when it's been sanded and the last coat is dry we will have to install them.
4. We miss the grandbabies already.
5. The sky was a most beautiful blue today with just a few puffy clouds floating by once in a while
6. I also have to mow the grass tomorrow and do the edging
7. I'm hoping Essence has a great time in Texas, too!

1. texannie, sorry to hear about your situation with your daddy, that is too bad.

2. i bought new work shoes today. we get reimbursed once a year up to $25 for them, so i try not to go over that amount.

3. my other ones are so worn (have had them since last march) that my left sock was always black when i took it off...there were holes through the sole!

4. these new ones are slip on style, so i don't even have to tie them. is that the epitome of laziness or what?

5. my cold is getting better thanks to all the cold-eeze and echinacea i have forced myself to take. (those cold eeze are just awful tasting, but if you can handle them, they really do reduce the severity and endurance time). thanks for your well wishes eggie and gracie.

6. i am taping helter skelter, because i don't want to watch it before i go to bed. i am a baby like that.

7. i have been watching gilmore girls season one. i that show so much.
a little trivia for any of you who are GG watchers: in one of the first 2 eps, (can't remember which one), kirk's character actually introduces himself as "mick". isn't that funny? wonder why they changed it? he was installing dsl at their house, because emily ordered it.
(sorry, that was random i know.)


8. oops, gracie beat me to 7. glad you guys had a great time!

1. Egbob and I went to the Redondo Beach Pier and acted like tourists today!

2. We had a blast! It's so neat to be re-discovering our relationship once again.

3. Egbob kept trying to get me to eat all those yummy treats like, soft-swirl ice-cream, churros, pizza, cotton candy....I'm tellin' ya, it was hard to keep saying 'no'...LOL!!

4. We ended up having a nice lunch at a great restaurant that overlooked the ocean.

5. Then we walked about 2 miles along The Strand and people watched. Egbob probably got a better view then me with all the bikinis here and there.

6. I noticed more 'real' tourists at the Pier and along the beach. It'll get crazier in about 2 more weeks and then I'll be staying away until the end of summer.

7. I do love the beach and the ocean and to get my beach/ocean in over the summer, I will go walking along the bluffs of the Peninsula near Donald Trumps new golf course and luxury homes to be.

8. Time for me to start something for dinner.

9. Tostadas are sounding really good right now...yum!

1. I just got home from riding around with ex looking at all the flooding in our area.

2. A friend of mine and her boyfriend's home has been surrounded by water since Wednesday. They can't get out because the water is too deep to pass their cars through. They are running out of beer and vodka. Not good.

3. I offered to drive over with ex's dump truck, we might be able to get through with supplies.

4. An Australian tv crew was in town this past week filming for their series. We had a crawfish boil for them Friday night. It was quite interesting.

5. My son only has two more weeks of school left. He'll be working with ex this summer.

6. Tomorrow my mother is having her cataract surgery. I have to pick her up at 7:15 in the morning.

7. We are having a crawfish boil for the legislature at the Governor's mansion on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to that.

8. I actually did laundry today!!!!

9. I borrowed Kill Bill from a friend and watched it this weekend. I can't wait to see Kill Bill 2 now.

10. Hope everyone has a great week!

1. My antique piano made it safely to Illinois and is now in my brother's living room. The 6-year-old niece was very happy and playing it already. Of course she was "bossing" her 4-year old brother on "how to play". Hope they don't drive my brother nuts! (LOL!)

2. Ahhhhhh....I'm home alone right now! But the housekeeper is here this afternoon and I will have a couple of students working tonight. WHY do I have water in my basement????? There are no drip marks anywhere. Could it be seeping in through the freshly painted floor? Or is it just condensation from our 99.9% humidity and all this rain??? Water in the basement is HORRIBLE when you are trying to sell your house!

1. Unbelievable. I have a lot to talk about for a change and I end up with three! I always have 8, 9, or 10 facts! I guess I'll just do long facts instead of breaking them up.

2. I had a great time camping this weekend at the Wisconsin Geocaching Association's annual campout. I met some really nice, fun people...although a bit obsessed with geocaching. Tim always thought I was obsessed- now he can see that I'm actually pretty casual about it! But we did have a lot of fun and I'd do it again. Yes it was cold friday night (cold enough for a thick layer of frost on my tent in the morning), but the rain had cleared up earlier in the day and overall we couldn't have had better weather. Clear sky and sunny all weekend- in the upper 60s to lower 70s. It's a bit early yet for the mosquitoes to be out in full force- it was perfect. Well, except for the 5 ticks I found. Ugh. None got the chance to get in my though. Anyway- it was fun and made me wish even more I could go to Chicago and meet you guys too! I have a few pictures I'm just going to puit in my folder so I don't make this page too slow to load for people.

3. Hmmm....that was my whole weekend. I guess I didn't need more facts! Today I'm going to clean the fish tanks, do laundry, make something to reheat for dinner after work, then go to work. Hope you all had great weekends!

1. I am officially unemployed.

2. I felt pretty good about my decision all weekend, but now it's starting to sink in that I have to start looking for a new job. I hate job hunting.

3. I'm trying to stay positive...everything will work out.

4. Thanks to HP and Jbean for thinking of me! I appreciate it.
