LOL, that sounds like a great idea. Anyone know where they do those PC commercials? You find, we buy it dudes? I could use that.

 

[ckrickett]

aw man sunnyd, that''s lame-o.

 

[misskitty]

Aww, sunnyd, that sucks!

What kind of specs do you need in a computer? You can get netbooks (which, btw, are awesome) now for around 200. Still an expense, but not as much damage as 800.

Is it bad to celebrate when somebody got fired/quit?

Because my single most obnoxioius customer - the one who has caused every stressed out, I hate my job post in this thread - is gone. GONE. And I''m celebrating. And it''s wrong to celebrate anybody losing their job, but I am so freaking grateful I don''t have to deal with him anymore. SO grateful.

Eh, who cares.

They''re not driving you nuts anymore! Woohoooooo!

Thanks misskitty! There''s hope that it might be able to be fixed AND covered under our service plan.

Otherwise we found a kick ass one for $500. Fingers crossed!

It''s his fault he was so obnoxious not yours, altho you had to deal with it... so celebrate away!

nope, nothing wrong with celebrating at all!

yes, it sucks that they lost their job but at the same time, it''s better for you and the company as a whole in the long run. cheers!

sunnyd - i''m sorry about your computer.

*DUST* that it''ll be fixed and covered!

 

[vip0802]

so after waiting for the UPS guy to come ALL freaking day long, i finally got my b-day present from BF!!!!! i've been needing a new point & shoot digital camera for a while now, so i'm just over the moon happy. she's the 16th and the newest edition to my camera collection.

here's my new baby!

 

[vip0802]

here's the screen compared to my old Cyber-shot on the left. it's a world of difference!

 

[Lauren8211]

Cool camera vip!

The bigger screen is *so* much nicer to use! Point-and-shoots have gotten so much smaller and better, and CHEAPER! It''s so nice!


My mom and step-dad are landing at 5 today! Yay! Haven''t seen my mom in like 6 months!

 

[CNOS128]

Hiya ladies!

I''m writing from home today, ''cause my internship is over!


I have an interview in a couple hours for a fall internship - I really, really want this one!!


Princesss - I''m glad your daily headache is gone! (But hope he finds another job somewhere far away)
VIP - nice camera!! Happy birthday!
Elle - enjoy your parents visit! yay!

Good luck on your interview, BigT! ******DUST*******

 

[ckrickett]

Oh good luck on your interview!!!

 

[princesss]

DUST!!!!!!


So, yesterday one of my friends asked if BF is "content at his current place of employment," and when I (rather emphatically) said no, she said she might have a lead for him! It wouldn''t be a great job, but it would be a grown up job where he has to wear slacks and would probably work 8-5, M-F. I''m trying so hard not to get my hopes up because nothing''s worked out yet, but I have a really good feeling about this. It would work out for my friend''s cousin, too, since she gets a $500 bonus for everybody she reccomends that gets (and keeps) a job there.

 

[ckrickett]

oh princess... i hope it works out then.
It would be good for you your so and your cousin!

 

[Miscka]

Happy Friday everyone!!!

SunnyD, hope your comp issues get worked out! My DH has a netbook and loves it.
Elle, have fun with your family!!
Princesss, celebrate away! You are nice to feel a little bad, bc yes, losing jobs in this economy sucks, but hey, obnoxious people are taking up jobs that people with better attitudes need!

I am in a fab mood today. My invites are almost here, and I baked a KICK A$$ layer cake for my cousin''s bday party tonight. Took me forever. I still need to ice it, but I am excited! I made a huge mess in the kitchen but I love it.

I got a crappy response from my ex-BFF yesterday, that email I told you guys about. But, life moves on, right?

Other good news, my DH got offered school-year work with the firm he did his summer work with! That is a HUGE deal to us (and our budget!) so I am REALLY happy. Also, it means they like the work he did this summer so I am just so proud of him.

Anyone got any wedding inspiration flower pics they want to post? I need some direction.

Awesome! A lead is a lead, and in this economy... that is fantasticf.

I hope that it works out, Princesss!

I''m glad you''re having a good day, despite the crappy email.

Thats awesome about your DH! Way to go, Mr Miscka!!

Re: Flower pics. Oh dear god no. I have no idea. I wish I could pawn this portion of the wedding off on somebody!

 

[princesss]

Go Miscka with your awesome baking skills! I''m impressed.

 

[Miscka]

Elle, me too! I am DIYing with a wholesale florist, who is awesome, but I have to decide on a color, etc. Bleahhh. I am either doing very fall-ish colors or blue hydrangeas.

BigT-GOOD LUCK!!!

Princesss.....YAY for your BF! I hope something works out, I know that would alleviate some major stress. Fingers crossed!

 

[sunnyd]

Don''t fry the ''puter! They sell cooling pads at Best Buy, because laptops are dumb and put all their fans underneath. I''m now a huge supporter of cooling pads. Hahaha.

Okay so here''s the funny thing...my bpics are on the hard drive. When we send ''puter away, they might determine that it would cost them more to fix it so we''d get a new ''puter, meaning the hard drive would be tossed. So we need to backup the hard drive. Best Buy could do that, but I was freaked out that they''d see me half naked in 80 different pictures!!! So now poor FI has to buy a thing so we could back it up ourselves before sending it out. Then it takes 2 weeks to get back, which puts us 2 weeks before the invites need to be sent out.

Good christ people, get a cooling pad.

 

[CNOS128]

Thanks for the dust everyone - I REALLY want this internship!! I can never tell what interviewers (or anyone else..) think of me, so i''ll just wait & see!

Princesss, I hope it works out for your BF!!
Miscka, yay for your DH!!
sunnyd, yay for your ''puter being fixed!!

 

[FrekeChild]

I''m home. With new bling. Of a certain branded maul store variety. Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I never thought I''d say this, but HOLY MOLEY it''s a BEAUTIFUL day outside. I just want to go sit in my dad''s backyard for the rest of the day. And thanks to Vegas, I now think 94 degrees is cool.

+1...
pics or it didn''t happen

 

[FrekeChild]

FINE. Sneak peek for you ladies. More later in SMTR.

Let me just say that in this case, Tiffany = Instant Gratification.

Also, we got there on Monday. Went to Tiffs at Bellagio on a whim. They didn't have it in yet--only the earrings and the bracelet. Sales lady said to call the next day to see if it had come in because they were expecting it any day now. Called Tuesday to Tiffs at Bellagio and Caesar's Palace, and decided to go Caesar's Palace (made more sense with our dinner plans). So yeah. Bought it the first day it was in the store. And they were almost sold out already...
