My Job Style

I took a test online to see what kind of jobs I would like...this pretty much hits me on the head!

People with yellow Interests like job responsibilities that include organizing and systematizing, and professions that are detail-oriented, predictable, and objective. People with yellow Interests enjoy activities that include: ordering, numbering, scheduling, systematizing, preserving, maintaining, measuring, specifying details, and archiving, which often lead to work in research, banking, accounting, systems analysis, tax law, finance, government work, and engineering.

People with blue styles prefer to perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is supportive and helpful to others with a minimum of confrontation. They prefer to work where they have time to think things through before acting. People with blue style tend to be insightful, reflective, selectively sociable, creative, thoughtful, emotional, imaginative, and sensitive. Usually they thrive in a cutting edge, informally paced, future-oriented environment. You will want to choose a work environment or career path in which your style is welcomed and produces results.

I have said this before!

Wouldn't it be nice to have someone die, who you didn't know, leave you some money? I have said this on more than one occasion. I certainly don't want to wish bad luck on anyone but this would be a fantastic surprise!

BROWNSVILLE, Texas - For nearly seven years Melina Salazar did her best to put on a smile and tend to the every need of her most loyal and cantankerous customer.

She made sure his food was as hot as he wanted, even if it meant he burned his mouth. And she smiled through his demands and curses. The 89-year-old Walter "Buck" Swords obviously appreciated it, leaving the waitress $50,000 and a 2000 Buick when he died.

"I still can't believe it," the Luby's cafeteria employee told Harlingen television station KGBT-TV in an interview during which she described Swords as "kind of mean."

Swords, a World War II veteran, died in July. But Salazar learned just a few days before Christmas that he had left her the money and car.

Friday, AT LAST

There are a couple of things, which makes this day, Friday, a bad thing.

 

1.  I had to get up and go to work.

2. Owner is in today.

 

I can't think of any other reasons.

 

Let me tell you why the owner gets on my last nerves...other than I am treated like 2nd class...one of our techs got a "new" used car.  It is not that great of a car, there is a very large dent on the side but neverless, this is a step up for the tech.  He came in SO EXCITED about the car.  Was telling me all about the leather seats and all the goodies the car came with.  I, of course, was excited for him....you could see how excited he was, so how could you not be?  The owner comes in and asked where tech is and I told him he was here and that he got a new car and how excited he was about having it... (thus the reason why he didn't see his car in the lot) and then the owner said..."I was wondering who's piece of trash that was.." 

 

I need to say nothing more....hurts my heart.

Quote of the day! I love this one too!

"Each of us is here to discover our true selves; that essentially we are spiritual beings who have taken manifestation in physical form; that we're not human beings that have occasional spiritual experiences, that we're spiritual beings that have occasional human experiences."

Re-Gifting

I had a very good Christmas, however I read 83% of American adults receive unwanted gifts during the holiday season. This can't be just the casual-acquaintance category of gifts--it has to include gifts from loved ones too. This means that most people are potential re-gifters or resellers. Do you think the gift you gave could end up being re-gifted? The survey said that nearly half of those adults (47%) typically re-gift or resell items.

I want to know....did you get anything this year you don't care for? Or did you get a gift, which you don't think the person put any effort into?

Are you planning on re-gifting or re-selling the item(s)?

Merry Christmas and Many Blessings

Hope everyone is having a wonderful and blessed day. When I sit back and look at my many blessings, I find I have so many to even count. What a wonderful thing to have to much of!

Here is a picture of my Maggie girl I took this morning. She is getting so big and becomes more beautiful to me every day. Looking at this picture really makes me take a priorty check. I so am thankful to have such a wonderful niece and wonderful family!!!

Monday Early Morning

I woke up around 3 am this morning so I decided to get up and watch a little TV. I was very rested and felt great. I went downstairs and put in a movie, which I have been wanting to watch for over a year now (The Holiday). I watched about half of it and dozed off. When I woke up it was 9:30ish. Maggie said something to me. I had fallen asleep sitting up on the couch. Funny part was my dream....

I had dreamed that I lived in a house, something like a sorority house, with many different people and I had a very bad habit. A habit, which everyone overlooked but me. I made a short puffing sound of air out of my mouth (something like a raspberry sound) and it was a bad habit, which I did uncontrollable and all the darn time! I know I was trying to stop but it was very difficult and I was losing the battle. Very FUNNY! When I told SIL about my dream we both laughed and laughed. Every now and then I will make the sound...we laugh again.

Hope you had a great night and crazy dreams to share too!

Homemade Christmas

Each year, this being the 2nd year, my 3 girl friends and I make homemade gifts and then exchange them. This year we went to Carrabba's Italian Restaurant and had a nice dinner and exchanged presents with each other. This is all the goodies I got this year! Some of the items in the picture...a calendar, box of homemade cards to use, chocolate, a collage, homemade cookies, homemade fudge, a receipe holder with favorite cookie receipes (and a few others) and cookie scoops. I gave each friend a stained glass piece made my myself, home made beef stew (made by my mother) and a little box ornament. It was a fun evening!

LOVE THIS THOUGHT!

It's not just that when one door closes, another door opens.   When one door closes, choirs burst into chorus, orchestras orchestrate, bugles bugle, marching bands march, dogs catch Frisbees, cats 'chow, chow, chow,' pigs fly, and 10,000 new doors open.   Kind of makes you want a door to close, huh?

Tired of Monday's

Okay, not so much tired of them, it is I am just tired and it is Monday.

I am still not well but I would say 70% better. The drink just makes the bloody cold go away! I am still coughing and have bronchitis. How do I know? I have had it in the past and it feels the same. I took a breathing treatment last night and slept like Sleeping Beauty and just now took another one. I am almost out of the Aburterol and this makes me sad. I only use it when I desperately need it but the cost is out of this world. On top of that, no new Rx. This means I will have to go see MD again...another $300-440 gone. I know if you don't have your health you have nothing...just makes me mad since it is the same problem and I know I will sit in waiting room for 2 hours, be in the room for 40 minutes and 5 minutes later will walk out with the same Rx as before. Frustrating! I would buy it online if I could...I swear I would.


The picture I have uploaded is a stained glass piece I made last weekend. The soldering isn't great but it looks pretty if you are arms distances away...or...don't touch it!

Just finished another one

Had another drink just now before bed...and starting to sweat so this will be short. I just wanted to upload a couple pictures so here they are! My nice made these items in her craft class. I just think they are a hoot and had to share them!!!!

Sunday Morning Update

I am really excited for several reasons. The most important reason is that I had a decent sleep last night. Although I still am not well, I did get some rest. I believe the rest had to do with the drink I fixed myself last night. I have found if I drink this when I have a cold, the cold gets better. I guess the alcohol kills the germs. I wonder if alcoholics ever get colds? Okay well, here is what I fix when I get a cold. I fill a cup about 3/4 the way up with tea and heat it to the point of boiling point. You want to have the drink as hot as you can possibly drink it! Then after it is hot, you put a teaspoon of honey, squeeze some lemon (I LIKE A LOT OF LEMON!...(it kills the taste of the alcohol for me!) then I put AT LEAST a shot of whiskey. We have been using Southern Comfort. The first time I bought a bottle...what 2 years ago?....it was the cheapest whiskey I could find so that is what we have stuck with! I drink the drink as quickly as I can. Then wrap myself up in a blanket and sweat it out!!!!! By the morning, you will fill a difference! Normally 1 or 2 nights of this and I am completely well. I hope you don't have to use the recipe but there it is in case you do!

Next reason I am excited is I found a cable so I can now download my pictures from my camera! I haven't been able to do this for awhile but my brother said the same one for my phone can be used for my camera. Who knew? I am going to be uploading many pictures today. The first being a picture of my favorite gal, which is another reason why I am excited...she has let me take pictures of her again...it has been YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last 3

I have been sick for the last few days. I am really, really sick of it. I haven't hae a good nights sleep for the last fw al

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.....see I keep falling asleep while wrihting this! Sitting up!

Black Tuesday and other tales

The alarm went off this morning and I decided to hit the snooze button.  At the time I should be leaving is when I woke up again.  I guess I didn't hit the right button...ya think?  So I jumped in the shower and washed off like I was running for a medal in the Olympics.  I sure wished at this point I would have washed my hair even if it meant I had to come in with it wet.  It feels awful!  My car is on total EMPTY and I didn't have time to stop and get gas.  I came in on fumes.  I hope my car will start when I leave tonight.  I should have stopped for gas.  I didn't know what I was going to wear today so I threw on some clothes....black sweats and sweatshirt and black boots.  This is one of good things I can say about my job.  I can wear this kind of clothes!

 

I was so tired last evening!  I worked and worked on a stained glass project and ended up hanging it up when I was done.  It looks beautiful from a distance but don't look to close!  I am still learning how to use the soldering iron and so it not very pretty up close.  I am telling you the truth when I say, the joints are not pretty.  The pattern is pretty though.  It was a pattern, which Maggie started.  She was playing with the pieces and I thought what she came up with was pretty.  My brother and I played with the pieces some more and came up with the design.  I sure wish I could post a picture but I don't know how do it with my camera phone.  Maybe I could later....

 

I think I have finished buying for Christmas.  I have to count to see how many "little" gifts I have for Maggie.  I put a stocking on her door handle and each morning she gets up to find a small stocking gift from me.  For example, yesterday was soap and it looked like a duck.  She loves animals and loves to play in the bathtub so I figured she would love the duck soap.  This morning I put a pair of socks in the stocking.  They have the words Hugs and Kisses and XOXO stitched on them.  I think she will love them.  Anyway, I am going to be putting a little something in each morning until the 25Th.  I may have to throw in a pack of gum or something if I don't have enough little goodies to put in.  I hope when she is grown, she will remember these little things I did for her.  I remember the little things when I was little and this is what is carried with you for a lifetime.

 

Hope everyone is having a better morning than what I had today!

Sunglasses

I need to find a new pair of sunglasses. Help me? Go here
and help me! I need nose piece too. Remember...I am a conservative person with a large face! This place has larger sunglasses to choose from.

Breakfast

A couple weeks ago I stopped at Chick-fil-A and the owner came in and went "ARGH!!  That is my favorite place!  I would eat there 5 out of the 7 nights if I there was one close to me...how could you bring that in this office because I LOVE IT?  I love sweet tea!!"  On and on he went! 

 

Well, this morning I stopped by Chick-fil-A and bought him a large sweet tea and some chick-n-mini's. 

 

Also, owner's brother almost went nuts that I didn't bring him in any....He kept pretending to pick up the tea.  He also sat at my desk and picked up the sack twice.  I told him the story about me bringing it in a few weeks ago and so what did he do?  He said exactly the same thing right back to me!  Just like a parrot. 

 

Oh boy.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

DON'T I WISH!  I am still at work!  Just finished eating my peanut butter sandwich (and it was pretty darn good) and I am SO TIRED!  I would love to lay down for just a bit...it just isn't going to happen...now, if I were at home...that would be another story!

 

My mouth and tongue are going through some tough times the last couple days.  I ate something rough and the top of my mouth is sore.  I also burnt the heck out of my tongue (I can actually see the difference in colors)!  I couldn't remember what it was I burnt my tongue on until today I decided I wanted some hot chocolate....oh yes, HOT BOILING HOT BURN my tongue chocolate.  That reminded me and I decided against it.

 

Instead, I think I will try a nap....`

All I Want

is to go back to BED!

 

I am very tired this afternoon.  The sun is shinning in my office and looks warm and inviting...we all know this can't be true...never less, I want to take my blue blanket, which my friend Laurie gave me last year and lay down on the floor with it and take a quick nap!  Unfortunately, my work will not be done if I surrendered to this thought!

 

Hope everyone got where they needed to go today after all the snow we got last night!  It took me 35 extra minutes to get to work.  Speaking of snow, I don't know why it is, it seems anytime I do something extra to my hair, it is a day, which the snow and rain will destroy or the wind will blow it down.  I hope one day I can actually have my hair look half way decent and make it out the door to my destination before it looks like a rats nest! 

 

I guess we all have our dreams.

Feel Better Now?

No...not really.  I went out for my lunch to get some air and cried.  I read just because I don't know what path I am on or think maybe the path I am on is wrong, I am not supposed to judge it.  I am supposed to know I am headed exactly where I am supposed to be going.  This means even if I am encounter detours, hairpin turns or passing cars with noses and whatnot pressed to the windows I am to know, I am headed in the right direction and I am supposed to be getting closer to what I am supposed to be doing every flippin' day.

 

Road trip?  I don't want to take any more road trips!

 

I want to park the car and enjoy the scenic view.

Depressing

I just figured up commission for the techs.  2 of them are going to be devastated again with the little amount they are bringing home, especially since the work so many hours a week.

 

I figured up how much the company would have to bring in each month in order for me to get the amount of money, which I the ad stated....$83,000.00 a month.  That is just to get me in the middle of the amount of which I was told I would be paid.  I get a salary plus commission.  The ad I answered said I would be paid between $32-36K a year.  In order to get in between this amount, the company would have to bring in $83,000.00 a month.  A "good" estimate as to what the company is bringing in....$30,000.00 a month.    That is a long way from the $$....

Freezing

If I think it is cold, then it is COLD!

 

The dial in the office reads 70 degrees.  I have a shaw on my shoulders and a blanket on my lap.  I have boots with insulation but my toes are frozen!  If I think it is cold, then it is COLD because I like it cool.
