Maggie and Nana


Nana made Maggie's costume again this year. It was a soft and cuddly kitten. She was so cute in it! Mommy, Daddy, and Uncle Daniel took her out while the rest of us stayed back to pass out candy. Maggie went to 1 house and was done. After all the work my mom put into the costume! It wasn't until we spotted a friend in our cul de sac who was going did she decide to go again. So they went with her friend and walked the local area. We only had a very few treaters this year. Less than 20 would be my guess. We have so much candy it isn't even funny. Last year we had lots of treaters. I wonder what happened especially since it was a nice night and everything.

Happy Halloween

Happy Eve of Halloween

Would that be correct? Happy Eve of Halloween?? This being Tuesday? I am not sure of this...

Anyway, today all the guys were scheduled to be in the office so I brought in little tins for each of them with candy. It was like they hadn't ever gotten anything from anyone before. "I got candy, I got candy!" Was what one of the guys said. They all seemed so excited. Glad I could be of service gentlemen. So now I know.

Better

I got a little sleep today and so I am feeling better. Hopefully I will be all new tomorrow.

Maggie was very nice, loving and fun with me today. It was like the Maggie I used to know. I am sure being 6 is hard as she is working on being dependent but it was so much more fun with her today laughing and playing with me.

Terrible Night

I was up all night because I was sick. Each time I lay down I wake up due to the phelm choking me. So I have been up since 2 a.m. I went to bed around 11:30 so I have had a total nights rest of about...2 1/2 hours. Go me!

Feeling Kaput!

Today at work I came in and the computer wouldn't work. Well, the computer worked but I couldn't get online to get the techs schedules. So I called AT&T, our Internet provider, and was told the Internet would be back up at 7:45 a.m. It was after 8 when I called...I knew I was in trouble. About 20 minutes passed and it was determined by the gal in India the problem was on their end and not out end. She stated to continue checking. An hour passed and I called again. Spoke to another guy who made me run all the darn tests I did with the first girl even though I told him she had said it was AT&T issue. Finally about 30 minutes later, he said the issue wasn't on our end. He said the issue should be resolved at 11:45 a.m. So I called at noon because it wasn't up. I had to go through the entire situation all over again with a new guy. After 30 minutes he said the computer should be up at 1:45 and I could call back after that time if I had an issue. Well, I called again at 2 p.m. Same as before. I was told the computer should be up around 2:15 and I was like, it is after 2:15 now...oh well...okay...studder...was what I heard. Then he did some more research and I was told the situation with AT&T was repaired and I should be able to get on. Guess what?....no go with that. It was almost 3 p.m. and I told the guy, "I am done with this. I have less than an hour here and I am tired of dealing with this." I figure if it doesn't work tomorrow, then the owner can mess with it. He likes to mess with the computers but I am hoping the issue resolves itself overnight and all is a go tomorrow. So I cleaned the office...one of the techs helped me. Also, my mom brought me my lunch so it was a pretty good work day considering it all.

I took a couple things to "I Sold It On Ebay" tonight after work. I found out some very bad news. They will only take things, which has sold for more than $30.00. I had 2 ink cartridges (bought new for over $100 each) and since the average sold cost was under $30, they wouldn't take my goods. This disappoints me as I wanted to sell some craft supplies through them. I guess I will either have to do the ebay selling myself or give the goods to charity. I was so hoping to recover some money through selling items on ebay since I am now being paid at the poverty level...

One day at a time........

Tuesday

What a crazy day! Work was pretty good because the boss was out of town. I got a HUGH job done. I have been working on balancing the checkbook for over a month...it was NEVER balanced since the company started and it was a mess!!! So, I told the owner I could "make" it balance or I could do it right and fix the issues. I have basically worked on this non-stop for 30 days. I got 6 months balanced so far. The first 3 months was absolutely the worse mess I have ever seen so the rest of it shouldn't take anytime. I am feeling so much better about having this done and off my plate. It will be so much easier to keep it updated and current and I can't wait to be able to just be able to do just that. The only other issue is he has another account for the credit card payments. I haven't even looked at that account. I sure hope it isn't messed up like the checking account was.

Nothing else really to report right now....I have nothing going on on the personal front to really talk about.

Long Time

I realize it has been a very long time since I have written....I believe I have a pretty good reason. Since I have been working, I haven't felt like it. That is pretty much the reason. I am on the computer from 7:30 in the morning until I leave work at 4 Monday-Friday. I really don't feel like getting on the computer. It is really the last thing I feel like when I get home at night. With that said, I realize there are also Saturday and Sunday every week...so I have been thinking about why I haven't been writting durning those days, it is simple. Writing about what I have been up to is the last thing I have wanted to write. The job is going "just okay". It has been very hard for me to adapt to my new role. The owner is younger than I am (at least 10 years) and he just doesn't understand he has someone great working for him. I don't mean to toot my own horn but I know the types of workers out there available. I guess the reason why I haven't gone postal on him is because I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. This is a new business for him and he hasn't learned to let go. Looking at his fingers says a lot about him. You can tell he is nervous as he not only is chewing on his nails, he chews on his skin around his nails too. If I happen to say a word wrong on the phone, he asks me about it. I just hope I can get through this without getting fired first.

After a very long day of headache, I finally got to feeling well enough to go to a party. It was a bonfire and hay ride. I actually took a ride on the hay ride! This is only the 2nd time in my life I have been on a hay ride. It was pretty darn fun!
