Long time.

Its been awhile. I have been meaning to post some things. I will get to it, I promise. I have pics of my Halloween costume (Thanks mom!!!) and a few other things I want to share. I just haven't uploaded them yet.

So, last night I fired up my desktop machine. Its down in the basement.


I didn't realize how much I missed it. As you can see, the basement is a bit of a work in progress. We had to pull up the floor as it was a bit flooded. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the laptop, but there is something about sitting at my desk with my old computer that I just miss. I suppose it is because I have always had that computer, or some version of it, although at this point I don't think any of it is from my original, but I never replace the whole thing at once. It is my Frank. Sure, the laptop does everything I need it to and then some, but I like my track ball, they don't make them like that anymore. I like my monitor, I like the fact that it glows blue. the speakers don't match any of it. Oh well, eventually I will get things put back together. There is one thing that I love about the laptop that my desktop will NEVER be able to do. And no, its not the fact that I can take it with me. No, its not anything to do with specs. It keeps me warm in the winter - which is just around the corner.

What do you do if you have no pillow?

Well, if you are a panda, apparently you use your baby.

Yes. I am addicted to the panda cam at the San Diego Zoo.

Irony, party of 1?

I was on my way home today and I had to snap a photo of this. A Toyota Prius with a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker. Its like the time I was at the local grocery store and watched this woman check out in front of me. Her cart was filled with all organic health foods and containers marked free trade. She pulled out her reusable eco friendly bags. I purchased my two items and was in the parking lot with plenty of time to watch her load her bags into her HUMMER! Not even the (please ignore the oxymoron here) small variety here, but a real full size HUMMER!

On another note: I have a confession to make. I feel so guilty. I feel so dirty. In my quest to find the proper fabric for my Halloween costume I went to Walmart. I feel so gross and wrong.

Its been a long day

Only two more days left this week. Now I just have to figure out how I got talked into doing OT on Friday. I'm such an idiot. I am so burnt out at work so what do I do? I sign up for more. It just gets hard, the abuse. Everyone gets all worked up when a customer is treated poorly but I get cursed out at least once a week. I have customers hang up on me, treat me like scum, call me names, accuse me of doing horrible things and I am supposed to just ignore it? To be honest, for the most part I can, but sometimes it does get me a bit down. If you are always told you are worthless, useless, stupid, and a nobody, at some point it is hard to remember its not true.

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know!

How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

-Emily Dickinson

I'll be okay, I just need to shake it off.

If you go to the San Diego Zoo website, http://www.sandiegozoo.org/, you can check out their webcams. I was taking a look at their panda cam this morning and I got a peek at their new baby! Isn't this just a bundle of awwwww. You also can see the apes, polar bears, and elephants. This was just priceless though. I had to share the love.

Well, I am going to finish getting my act together. I am headed up to Madison with GB to visit her sister. I am going to take a walk down to this little bakery near the hospital that has these AMAZING cookies. I know, it sorta defeats the purpose of a walk but YUM. (http://www.lanesbakeryandgifts.com/)
