RN, I was just notifed that I won this week's Mindbender!!!!! It's a science quiz they have every two weeks on Discovery Channel. I have been playing for about a decade now and won once a year the first three years but then their audience must have gotten larger because I have had a seven year dry spell. LOL I won a jacket. YEH!!!!

RN, getting ready to do the prep work for tomorrow night's chicken cord en bleu (dh's birthday dinner). Thanks guys. I didn't tell dh last night, we just sat down to watch the show. They are going through the answers and then announce the winners (me and two runner-ups) and my name appears on screen. DH is just glazed over, I thought I would have to rewind it and point it out when he just sits bolt upright and says WTH! LOL Only downside is that the jackets are always men's styles so I do all the work and hubby gets all the prizes.

RN I had a TERRIBLE day at work. Horrible. I got in a huge fight with the boss, it's a wonder I still have my job. My boss and I don't mesh, period. I would take the blame on myself, but some things just ARE and cannot be changed, and that includes personalities. But I am so broke, and the economy so horrible, that I have to stick in there until I'm fired, And I don't see how it's avoidable after today. I saw this coming since last Friday. I had to bring my work home this week, and brought it home last week as well, I can work in isolation and make the changes I think need to be made. On everything else, a hundreds decisions made per week, I ask for her guidance. These two times I questioned her, she got all mad, and I brought the work home. The design I did got approved on Monday. I am FURIOUS that she's decided that I need to be "broken," because that's really what this is all about. The problem today: I was to work on a design that was made by another girl, who was not there today, and I suggested working on it in Photoshop, not Illustrator. Well, apparently she hates Photoshop like the devil now and got mad that I made the suggestion, then insisted that she was going to watch me to see how long it took me. I was MAD. I came to that job with a certain skill set, and I knew the changes would be made easier in Photoshop. PLUS, the file would not open in Illustrator becuase it was ENORMOUS. We got into it big time and even had to go take to the attorney. YES, the attorney. Well, and hour later and with everyone's nerves on edge, I finally got the Illustator file open and ALL the MOTIFS were JPEGS and and had been done IN PHOTOSHOP. Which I knew anyway, becuase I had shown the girl who did them how to index them just the OTHER DAY. SO it ended up that I had to do the whole thing in PHOTOSHOP anyway, but becuase I was upset, I screwed up the resolution and did a crappy job. I emailed myself the original file and will be doing it at home and NOT TELLING ANYONE. I personally HATE when someone twists your best qualities into something terrible. When she hired me I had six months of making very clean patterns in Photoshop. But now it's turned into a pissing contest and I am mad as hell.

RN, Im just feeling so sad...On my way to shopping today after work I was just getting on the freeway and right on the side of the road, on the dirt part not more then 2 feet from speeding cars (busy hour) about 30mins befor dark... is this most adorable 'tiny' little pup..white, with a shiney coller and silver tag.. it looked so confuzed and as if it were trying to cross the freeway... the min I saw this little guy my heart just sank...it was impossible to pull over with out wrecking...but all I could see in my mind was this tiny little dog (maybe 10lbs)..."somebodys baby"... lost and confuzed...probably got out of its house and wandered up the hill to the freeway... I called animal control from my cell (#2 on my speed dial) but only got a message...so I called the highway patrol... by this time I was at least 8 miles down...but I did get a kind hearted officer that said she had dogs and would go drive by there to look...but in my heart that little guy had no chance, unless by my out loud prayers that it turn around and go back...but in my heart, I dont think it had much of a chance.. This has been bothering me since I saw it and I came home and hugged my own babies.. they are my best friends and I sure hope that little guy that I saw on the freeway made it home to its owner and warm bed.... THings like this bother me so much....heartbreaking and I cant stop thinking about it... that maybe sombody is sad tonight because they have lost their baby.... oh my....

RN - having coffee & will soon get ready to go do the every other wk Walmart critter shopping trip. I don't ever look forward to this & especially during the holiday season. I spend about $50 - $60 on the critters each trip so the savings I guess is worth it. I go ahead & pick up what groceries I need for a wk too so at least I get to wipe out going to the grocery store at the same time.

Rn.. well some of you may not find this humorous, but I found it funny. Looking for those "drop dead" gifts?: (Click the Little Shop of Coroners link to start) http://www.tesh.com/ittrium/visit?path=A1x97x1y1x12ax1x65y1x4e2dx1x65y1x514cx1xa8

Rn.. NY, it sounds like your boss probably very insecure. Can you go to a higher boss to speak to them. I can tell you that this woman is probably complaining to HER boss.

RN Thanks Twig--I'm sure it's my fault, I did go off on her and it was a big deal. But I also knew since before Thanksgiving that it was coming. I'm sorry, but I work my butt off for little pay, and I know enough that if there are personality problems, they will never be resolved. I'm just going to go in Monday and do my job, but will think about looking around for something else. I need a certain amount of autonomy on the job, just a fact of life. Truth be told, I've been considered a "difficult" employee most of my life. I've tried to twist and turn to please employers, but it only works out once in a great while. I can't tell you how many employers have tried to "break" me, but finally I just explode and walk off the job. Frankly it sucks for me, because I usually am trying very, very hard. It's like I try to make myself smaller, but have that "top dog" energy that pisses people off. Oh well, no matter what I've learned a lot and have gotten faster as what I do. If I can freelance for a while, and for more pay, maybe that would be best.

Right now I am supposed to be leaving for a cocktail party. I've had a headache all day and a throbbing pain behind my right eyeball. How terrible am I if I don't go?
