Good luck, Sammy!

I find it''s best to just jump in where you can at the time you''re here. It''s hard to keep up!

Aud- to answert your Q from May LIw, yes and no on the proposal. I''d be lying if i said i wasnt hoping for one, but deep down i know its not going to happen. poo. pretty depressing b/c it all stems from E not managing money and making things a priority over others (like, new video games, camera, etc, things we already have). It sucks harder becuase both my paychecks go to all bills (mostely mine and ours) so its kinda like...WTF.

What happened?

 

[jcarlylew]

so, 3 orders for this morning were not put in. fortunately, non of them were mine. not so fortunately, i got yelled at by each customer. also, my phone had 6 lines going at once. 3 of these were the missing orders. firefox is not working, and it has all my saved work websites and passwords. I cannot access our ordering system via explorer. Tech''s solution was to re istall firefox.
I stubbed my (good) toe on a desk and then ran into the desk.
I promptly kicked the chair into the cubical, slammed shut a cabnit and yelled profanities at the top of my lungs.


hissy. Fit.

 

[jcarlylew]

ps - its okay to laugh. normally i would. its just the crap keeps getting higher.

Holy crap Jcar!

Sorry to laugh at your misfortune, but when that many things go wrong at once, it''s comical.

Hopefully after your hissy your day goes a bit better!

I feel you, FF is still in the ''I''m young and want to have fun!'' phase of his life and is much more interested in spending money on toys (guns, flying planes, scuba, hiking, etc.) than saving for the future. *sigh* He pays his half of the bills, but I''m always the one who foots the grocery bill and extras (like movies) because I''m the only one with any extra money since he''s already spent all his on fun for him.

Got it back. She gave me a B+

w.h.a.t.e.v.e.r...

At least I''m not waiting anymore, you know? I''m okay with the grade. I obviously have something to prove, because she says my paper went beyond, and yet, she didn''t give me an A. And aparrently there are quite a few others that are hopping mad because she was so unfair. She has her favorites Elle, and I''m not one of them it seems...and that''s fine. BUT, my next paper is going to be soooo perfect, I want to see her try to give me anything other than an A. I''m moving on...

The weekend was good. I had class but then the rest of the weekend was relaxing. FI and I had a picnic yesterday at our *special place*. The weather was perfect, so we had a blast.

How about you all?

Ugh. Obviously you deserved better. I''m sorry you didn''t get an A, but a B+ is nothing to scoff at, and you will rock the next paper. I''m just glad you finally have your grade back and you can relax!

Glad you had a good weekend!

FF and I and a few friends went bowling Saturday night for his birthday. He turns 30 tomorrow!

I finally got the dining room painted. I missed one little section that I thought that plate that covers electrical sockets would cover. It doesn''t. Lame. But otherwise it looks good. I''m proud of myself. I only had minimal help from BF, so I''m feeling all handy. Now I just have to paint my sister''s bedroom and the house will be pretty much ready for my family. Oh, and I have to hang pictures. That''s not too bad.

Am I the only one that gets annoyed with people for changing plans without telling you? I made plans with some friends for them to come over last night for a beer and to hang out, and so I call one of our other friends to let her know about it, and she says, "Oh yeah, about an hour ago I decided we should all go to the bar and so *insert names of people I had plans with* all said they''d go, and so did x, y, and z." Awesome. Thanks for letting me know, guys. These are the same people I get fed up with every week. Why am I still trying to hang out with them??? Because I''m a sucker with no other friends who thinks maybe this time things will change. Nope. Not gonna happen. It means I probably won''t see my friend that''s visiting from Argentina. And while it''s not totally necessary to see her (we were friends for 6 months and then she moved), it would be nice.

Good job on the painting! It''s tough work. It seems fun at first, but about half way through you start to resent it. At least I do.

I am also a plan-changer-hater. I also feel your lack of friends issue. I held on to crappy friends for a long time because there was no one else. I feel so much better now that they''re gone.

I''m sorry you might not see your friend. That sucks!

I hate when things like that happen, it''s so rude to just make other plans and not tell you

Not uncommon p. Some people are lucky enough to make, and keep, lifelong friends, but many of us outgrow our friends, and go on to make new ones. I've outgrown practically all of my HS friends, and even most of my college friends. Making the consistent effort, IMO, is how you differentiate real friends from "now" friends. Of all the friends I've made in my life, I only have two friends that have stuck by me through the years (since college). It's never just me calling them, or making plans. It's never them flaking on me, or being shady. And I'm always down to make new ones.

If these friends flake on you more often than not, then stop being the only one who tries. Let them try. If they don't, send them packing.

 

[jcarlylew]

ugh. firefox STILL not working *grrR*

 

[princesss]

Yeah, I''m just going to stop making an effort. I could really care less if I ever see any of them again. *crosses fingers for the women''s Ultimate team to happen* I do have other people I''d like to hang out with, so I''ll try making plans with them.

Elle, you and I should go bowling sometime. That''s about my skill level, too.
