Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kerimatheson for the cd she sent me all the way from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada!

I can't give an opinion yet as I am only 2 songs in, but you have to try really hard to screw up ska! :)

Employee Appreciation Day. Today. How am I appreciated? Dare I say? Ok, my arm is twisted. *I* have my name on a piece of paper on the wall of the lunchroom saying I am appreciated. They gave out soda and Lance cracker snack packs. Can you see how ecstatic I am?

In related news, I submitted my resume to a company that my mom clued me in on that was hiring. Brand new call center just starting out. Hiring 400 people or so. I meant to do it earlier (when I heard about it), but I submitted my resume with the online application Wednesday night and got a call back yesterday (but was not home then). I called them back today and I have some info, but I have to think things over before going to the next step.

Whew! I cannot wait to get home and lie down! My head is so spinny and dizzy from the medicine I had earlier. That would be because the pills had caffeine in them. Headache is gone, but feeling very spazzy all over.

Gah, call me "Heather the Spaz" now. I feel spaztastic! :P

I'm going now before I torture anyone else with my ramblings.

So, kind of a last minute thing, I went to OMA (Orlando Museum of Art) with [livejournal.com profile] nymphie tonight after work. She posted that she had an extra ticket, and I took the bait. In all truth, I have never been to our art museum so this was a great opportunity. A few of her pieces were in an exhibition for local artists which was neat. The theme this month was "art and science" and there were some interesting pieces. Offhand, I think the giant sperm made the biggest impression. I liked most of what I saw which was a great bonus. After that, we walked around the rest of museum and chatted and tried to get to know each other more. This was the first time meeting outside of livejournal. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a familiar painting style...Georgia O'Keefe...and it was a real Georgia O'Keefe painting! I wished it were Waterhouse, but I like O'Keefe too. I had a poster of her artwork in my room growing up. That, and Monet, along with the music posters. It was nice...I miss my old room. Anyhow, I really enjoyed meeting another friend from my friends list...it adds something special to the entries now. I hope we can get together again in the future. :)

Oh yeah, message to Noggin...just get "My So Called Life" back on already! I can't handle seeing anymore ads if I have to wait a month more! It's been ages since I saw the show originally, but I am looking forward to revisiting my youth. Heh.

Off to watch Beat the Geeks with my wonderful huggy bear in a few.

Georgia O'Keefe stuff )

Why do I feel so sick? I don't understand? I had a migraine yesterday, and felt appropriately sick to my stomach. I'm over it. But today, for the most part, has been ok. Ok, well the whole schedule and stress thing, but I began feeling sick after I left work, and went to get Chas so we could have dinner with his dad and sister. I barely touched my food, tasty as it was. And how can I resist cheese? I did so tonight. I hope I feel better in the morning...my tummy and my back. Otherwise I will have to call Dr Vernors. While Vernors ginger soda won't cure anything really, it will help the stomach feel less queasy. And it is just so fizzy and tasty. I just don't want to go out anywhere and get some right now, and my lovely huggy bear is collapsed from exhaustion in bed. He looks so cute when he is asleep. I just want to hug him more! It is getting toward that hour that I need to be heading that way myself, so I guess I will stop babbling and make my way to my welcoming bed.

I had another dream within the last night or so, where I made (and glazed) a mortar and pestle by hand for a close friend of mine who wants one. Of course, if it were painted or glazed, it would break/chip away as food was being ground in it (unless it was only glazed on the outside but I don't remember now). So that part wasn't very realistic in the dream, but I think it was the thought that counted, and my subconscious making me feel very guilty.

I had a dream last night that it was raining outside and we had a leak in our bedroom. Except that we are on the first floor of our apartment building, so we have people above us. It was strange.

I have to say that I love my Pampered Chef stoneware! I used my small bar pan last night to reheat some leftover fried foods Chas had picked up earlier. I put a piece of the fish and some shrimp on the pan, along with some hush puppies and fries. Heated until warm and the crust crisped up again. It worked perfectly.

I can't stop thinking of some of the clothes I tried on with [livejournal.com profile] glittergrrl69 on Saturday at the mall. There were some steals there, but I was good and did not buy anything. Sniff. Another time though.

I hate my allergies! Bah! Its true...I feel so disconnected right now.


Eh. I'm going.

Am I the only person NOT watching the Oscars? Probably. Well, I can hear them from the other room where Sean and Chas are watching. I have a nice cup of hot ginger spice tea with me here. Ahhh. :)

Am SO tired right now. I spent the afternoon with [livejournal.com profile] shyystarr and the tykes. They came over here for a little bit, and I fed them the last of my cherry cobbler. We went to Stardust to get some coffee, though I ended up getting an Odwalla Super Food bar and a bottle of water. Despite being greenish brown in color (from the greens [ie the super foods] and the fruits like the dates and bananas), the bar was actually really good. In fact, Mackenna asked for some, without knowing what it was (just because I was eating it), liked it and asked for more of my "cookie" after eating her little bite. Except that I had eaten the last bit so she threw a temper tantrum. Cameron was continually hitting Haley and all 3 kids were driving us crazy! We decided to take them to a park nearby and let them run around until they got tired. We got a bit peckish after that and we decided to search for some bbq. We had a good meal not too far away, and then I came home.

Not much else to say I guess. I do want to tell a few of my close lj friends that I love them, and I hope they can make it through these tough and trying times. I am not going to mention names, as those that this is intended for should already know who they are. I love you always and I am constantly thinking of you. :)

I want some chocolate now, so bye for now.

So on Thursday, before the last part of my training began, my manager comes up to me to tell me that someone from the class had complained to her about me from the day before. I didn't really know why. She was told that I was holding up the class from learning with my questions and debates. I wasn't the only person asking questions and delaying the training from progressing. There was a fair amount of bitching from the whole class, in fact. And I told her this. The only thing I can think that would have offended anyone is that I mentioned I was tired, had a headache and cramps. I don't know if I said I was PMS-ing or not, but if I did, it was said as a warning that my emotional state was fragile, and the littlest thing could trigger a downpour of tears or a nasty backlash or what have you. It would not have been said to gross anyone out. Anyhow, so I made a generally vague apology at the end of the class saying that if I had done or said anything yesterday that offended anyone that I was sorry. No one knew what I was talking about, so I didn't elaborate. I should mention that the trainer from the first day had a morning appointment and we had someone else do our Mac training, though she arrived at the end of the class. Well, so yesterday at work comes and goes, and as I am getting ready to leave, I run into her. She mentions that my manager told her the same thing about the employee who complained about me. She had also heard my apology. And she stood up for me saying I had done nothing wrong, and had there been a problem she'd have said so during the training. How cool is that?! So she stood up for me to my manager. I had tried to stand up to her saying I didn't do or say anything wrong and she didn't care. And do you know what? Even after the trainer stood up for me, I didn't get an apology or anything from my manager. Fucking figures.

Anyhow, Chas came to get me after work, since he needed the car during the day. He was late but that was ok, because it all worked out. My parent's took us out for dinner last night to celebrate their anniversary (which is actually today). So since my parents live near the interstate on the way home, we just met them there a little early. We were also able to sneak to the store to get a nice card for them. Dinner wasn't anything fancy...we had an all you can eat seafood dinner at the Picadilly cafeteria buffet near their place. It was kind of them to take *us* out. We are still going to take them out, just not sure when. Came home and had a nice evening. I watched the Good Eats episode on nuts I had missed Wednesday...oh how I love the PVR!! And I was in heaven since of all the nuts he could have talked about and cooked with, he picked pistachios! Yay! I only wish Chas could handle nuts better...I'd love to try that pistachio pesto sauce (minus the tarragon...ew!) he made. I watched the last half of How Do I Look? and went to bed. I'm not sure why I was so tired at 10:30. Maybe it is that my schedule is back to normal now (at least for the most part) and I have been getting up earlier again. I was really tired regardless of reason. What sucks is that I woke up around the time Chas was coming to bed, and then got a massive cramp in my right calf, and had to >i>go, so I hopped to the bathroom with my left leg at 2am since I couldn't walk. It was probably a funny sight to see. Heh. ;) In fact, it is still sore now. I don't think I have ever had a cramp that made me sore the next day. I think this calls for some hot bath and bubbles action. :)

I am not sure what the rest of the day holds for me just yet. Chas is coming to pick me up after his doctor appointment, and we will likely grab lunch somewhere and then visit my grandad, since we haven't seen him the last two weekends. After that, it is up in the air. Might go shopping with [livejournal.com profile] glittergrrl69 for some work clothes, or get together with [livejournal.com profile] shyystarr for a little while or something. I don't know yet, but I will play it by ear I guess. If something works out...great! If not, it's ok.

Well, that hot bubbly bath idea is looking pretty good, so I think I will take advantage of my alone time now.

There are too many gamers at this place I call work.

Oh yeah, and we have an honest to god Miss Chokesondick here, too.

A couple of "Happy Birthdays" go out to a couple of my friends today.

Hope your day was great [livejournal.com profile] pluralist_baby and [livejournal.com profile] maggie226!

Plunkybug is sad when her huggy bear feels bad. :(

Mark day two of rain, and day one of CSI training. Blah. It's too early, my head is hurting, and I have cramps. Looks like a fun day ahead.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why? Why? Why? I just want to ball up and cry. And make it all go away. I need some massive love injections from my huggy bear. I should go now. I have to get up super early tomorrow for work.

Well, we will be coming home tomorrow. Wish we could stay longer. It's been fun. Especially seeing the transgender person staring at us periodically from the table outside possibly the smallest bbq restaurant ever. And let's not forget the drunk guy on steroids with way too much jewelry on for a man. :) We got to meet up with people out here who we have only ever corresponded with online, on the phone, or on paper. Sunday Chas and I met his long time music idol Ron '"the God" Kane, and last night I met a member from my Tears For Fears news digest. Ironically, we met these people in the same place. Weird. We got to go to the best music store ever last night, Amoeba Records. Chas got a Devo dvd and the new Undertones cd. I got The Beatles (Rubber Soul), The Black Watch (Very Mary Beth), Ima Robot (self titled), and The Delgados (Hate). Tonight we plan on going for a late dinner at a place called La Paella. We ate there last year, and had a meal of tapas...little appetizers everyone shares with each other. This time I think I will get a regular item form the menu, but who knows. In the meantime, we are just relaxing until then. I am trying to catch up on posts...I have gotten through them all, though as I still have close to 100 emails to get through, I have skimmed some posts to save time. But I have to to say this, [livejournal.com profile] phishtails, you crack me up man. I love you! I will go through them more thoroughly once I get back to work and am sufficiently bored. :) Ok, back to tackle the emails. :)

I had such a wonderful time last night with Chas, despite being scheduled to work until 7, and despite having to work until 7:30 because of a long call. But all was changed when I left. I was going to call him and ask him to prep a few things for me so when I got home I could make dinner faster, but I got a voicemail on my cell from Chas saying he had bought stuff to make dinner for me tonight...and he didn't tell me what it was. :)

Once I got home, he forbid me from looking in the oven, but it sure smelled yummy. So I watched Sunday's episode of Charmed from the pvr while dinner was cooking. When it was ready, Chas did everything...he got me a drink, brought my plate out, etc. So, what did he prepare for his lovely wife? I'll tell you. He made a pork roast and corn souffle with cheddar biscuits. It was all very tasty. The pork, in particular, was juicy and slightly pink inside. Ok, so the pork was pre-seasoned, the corn souffle was a frozen side, and the biscuits were from a bag mix, but that doesn't matter. He MADE it all just for me and that alone makes me happy. His effort into preparing it was so welcome. :) While we ate dinner, we watched some old music clips and videos that he'd transfered to DVD the previous night. During that time, he had forgotten about the dessert. (Head tilt) Dessert?? So, he got dessert into the oven while we watched more videos. The videos were done by the time the dessert was done and had cooled. He brought out dessert which was individual peach cobblers. They were so cute and so yummy! So while we ate our dessert, we put in another music DVD. This time it was a 2DVD set Split Enz compilation a friend made for us. We were watching the American released videos on the first disc. My my how those boys from down under can be wacky. Especially in their early period. Very artsy. Very theatrical make up and costumes. Anyhow, so I was in my huggy bear's arms and we were just feeling all bliss-like. I was very happy last night. I wanted to update how I felt then, but figured it would probably ruin the moment, so I stayed in Chas'arms instead, until I was ready for bed.

I'll be on vacation by the end of the week! Lots of wonderful people to see! Oh, how excited I am! :]

Still have laundry to do so I can pack though. Blah.

My weekend... )

The phones are so messed up today. This is the second time they have totally dropped. Good for us not taking calls, but bad for the customers we were talking to (for thinkking we intentionally hung up on them), and for all the people waiting for help. At least the other call centers are taking some of the calls until we get back up. Some people are already back up, but others, like myself, have no power to my phone right now. I wonder how long the wackiness will ensue. :P
