I hate it when I sit down and my buttcrack shows

Well HELLOOOOOO happy shiny party people!

Where do I even begin?

Ok, I guess at the beginning. That would make the most sense, yes? But this blog is supposed to be full of nonsense, so be prepared for a bit of randomness as I have what, a month's worth of catching up to do?

Training is going good. Its filling my brain with new stuff and i'm worried its pushing out the good stuff... .like colors and memories lol

Thanksgiving was great. I ate entirely TOO MUCH food, 2 days in a row. I flew my best friend Nikk in from Chicago, and he's here till Dec 2. Its been nice for him to get away from his mother and the snow and 19 degree weather.
Our days have been full of half price booking and goodwilling and game stores and comic shops with Pete and Josh. Today, we are sitting outside my favorite Sunday spot, Epoch.

Its cold and ive already had too much coffee because its fucking cold out.
We are sitting outside so we can smoke. its cold.

damnitt is it cold

We went and did Karaoke last night and I am proud to say I walked out on my own 2 feet. The last time i went with everyone to sing badly I had to be carried out and then killed my friends front lawn by waking up on it at 3am.
I started on the couch... not sure still how i ended up outside.. Yes the grass is dead where I slept and i will never ever live it down.

Everyone got sick about 2 weeks ago, I still have the cough, which sucks.. maybe its the pack of camels i smoke a day... nah... lol

im pissed cause i updated my iphone and it deleted everything ive done on it since the last time i backed it up. I'm going to have to reinstall a bunch of apps!

Ok, I think that's it. Training ends on Dec 4th so i will be back to blogging with some consistency then

highlight of the day: ITS FUCKING COLD!!!

I'm a bad bad blogger

I have started my new team at work, and as a result, I am spending until December the 4th in training classes. I have no time to get on the internet except for the rare time like right this second, which is about to end to get onto the internet, and I dont have internet at home, yet.

dont worry 1 follower, I'll be back soon to fill your head with stuff, ramblings, nonsense, win and awesome

Baby showers

Today, I am in Dallas for my oldest friend, Eva's baby shower.

Only Eva would have a baby shower that ends in girls getting drunk and showing their boobs and leaving her house a wreck like it was a fucking house party

yeah, i have nothing else to add to that. no you cant see the pics

yes there were pics


her dog ate the rest of my taco bueno nachos. damn dog

The Usual Suspects

I'm sitting at Epoch again, because like the last few days, I have nothing better to do, and they have free Wifi.

I got tired of waiting around for American Airlines to get back to me in response to the snail mail I sent them about the refunds for the Paris trip and found where I could go online to request it. I've submitted the requests and now, I wait.

I hope they just give me the money back because I owe my dad a lot of money. I will take a travel voucher, and maybe i can sell it on ebay, but i just really hope more than anything i get my money back.

The 2nd part of that trip I added my then boyfriend, Josh, on to go with me. It was my fault we couldnt go, long sad story, and i feel so horrible that he was unable to go.

So..

His ticket i am working on getting a travel voucher for him for the amount of what I paid for his ticket (a little over $1,000) to give to him because he means more to me than i care to explain here, and he is the only person i have ever met that has the GTFO bug worse than I do. He deserves to be able to go on a vacation and this way, he can.

Tomorrow when I wake up, I make the 4 hour drive to Dallas for my friend Eva's baby shower. I am excited to see her again under better circumstances (the last time i saw her was because her nephew was killed by a cop car) but I am flat fucking broke (less than 50 bucks in my pocket to last me till the 15th) and I hate the drive. its so long and boring. Also, I'm missing the game.

BUT


I love her, so i'm going :)

Highlight of the day: more indy hipsters to laugh at at Epoch

I've been drinking since noon

So in my last adventure's in life update, I was unsure whether or not I still had a job. Here's what's happened since the last time I was able to sit in front of a computer with internet access..

I still have a job, HOWEVER, it doesn't start until Monday. This means that since Tuesday at around 2:00pm, I have been not working, and not getting paid for it. I am thrilled to have a job, and to be starting on this new project.
NO MORE HP!! This excites me greatly.
What I will be working on now, is closed loop sales for Qwest. This basically means that i will be working for commissions, and its not a pay cut or raise, and I have to go thru 2 months of really intense training with no hope of hitting bonus for those 2 months. But its an actual SALES position, so i'm really happy about that. I am so much more a sales person as opposed to a telemarketer.




Other happenings:

OBAMA WON! holy shit. I actually CRIED. Tears of Joy, never you fear oh ONE loyal reader of this blog of win and awesome, tears of joy! Let's hope it wasnt just a lot of hype and let's REALLY hope someone doesnt peg him off ala Lincoln style!!


I found out why it looks like my housemate is trying to drink himself to death. It's because he ACTUALLY IS!
He has Hep C (yet another thing that would have been FANTASTIC to know before-hand) and was given 10 years. This was 8 years ago. He has no family, little to no friends. No body actually cares (in his mind) whether of not he lives or dies. Great. If this man ends up dying in my apartment, I'm going to be really pissed off.


Tuesday was a pretty rough day for me. It started off great, and then we got the calender invite for an "all hands on deck" meeting. Never a good sign to have all 50 people on the team in the same meeting. That's when we were told them news about HP going dark temporarily.

So, needless to say, the rest of the day was pretty shit. Now, I'm not much of a drinker. I've been known to go out with friends or see a band, and come crawling home at 3am drunk off my ass, or in one case, be put on a couch by a friend, only to wake up on his lawn thinking it was the bathroom, but for the most part, if I buy a 6 pack of beer, it will sit in my fridge for a month.

I had a bottle of champagne chilling in my fridge for the last month or so, should be NICE and cold, and all I really wanted to do when I got home was crack open that bottle of champagne, and drink myself silly. And yes, I literally mean silly. Me on champagne is like normal people on laughing gas.

I get home, set down my stuff, and head for the kitchen. I go to feed my fish, Old Gregg, and I notice my kitty, Requiem, has decided to bite a hole in the bottom of the cat food bag and have herself a nice kitty buffet. ok... that pisses me off cause the cat food I buy is not cheap. (yes i know cat food IS cheap, or CAN BE cheap, but buying the cheap shit is why your cat gets worms, and doesnt live longer than 10 years) Ok.. i can deal with a gluttonous kitteh.

THEN
I
SEE
WHAT
SHE
DID

A few months ago, I had purchased 2 REALLY BEAUTIFUL champagne flutes from Crate and Barrell. These things were like, $15.00 EACH. I already broke one on bottle of champagne month before and was really pissed with myself, but oh well.

Kitteh o' Gluttonbutt broke the other one getting into the bag of cat food

She couldnt just eat the fricken fish could she?!


Ok, I think Ive rambled enough for one day.

Highlight of the day: Sitting in epoch, and indy chick comes in. Indy INDIAN chick no less, with septum piercing (which doesnt look good on anyone) hasnt washed/brushed her hair in got knows how long. Ill fitting clothes and giant glasses. Here's the kicker. There's no lenses in said glasses.
I find it amusing how indy people try really hard to look cool and like they dont care, and it only comes across as they are homeless and in need of a bath.
Indy is the new Hippie and I want to throw hotel soap at them both.

It's getting better all the time...

So.. just found out I may not have a job come tomorrow morning.

I work in Lead Gen.. basically, I am an overpaid telemarketer.
I work on the HP team, and they are re-evaluating their budget, so we are going into a blackout. It might take 3 weeks, it might last till January.

One option for all of us, wait it out
2nd option is they will find another program to put us on
3rd option is we get to interview for another program and might not get it... then what?!

I am trying to breathe
I am trying to not cry
I am trying to not have a panic attack and have a seizure

Let go, and Let G-d, right Eva?


I am really worried right now.

Nope

This started off being a bitch, rant, vent, etc post... but I changed my mind

Today, is a beautiful day.

The sun in shining, the birds are singing, there's not a cloud in the sky. I am sitting in my usual spot AT my usual Sunday morning spot drinking my weight in coffee and taking full advantage of the free wifi.

Last night, I did something potentially really stupid, and because I don't/didn't get a response from it, I'm sitting here, worried, nervous, squirming, etc not knowing what is going on in the other person's head. That drives me crazy.

But I'm sitting here. Breathing, trying to "let go and let g-d" as Eva likes to say.. That is so much easier said than done.

I love my Sunday mornings to myself. No phone, No friends, just me, a cup of coffee, teh interwebs, and cool people doing their same escape. My friend, Alisa brought me here for the first time. We hadnt seen each other in a while, and I was in FULL ON crashing depression mode from a pretty heart wrenching break-up, so she drug me out here and made me talk about it, got to shut up and listen for a while, and left with an actual SMILE on my face. Something that hadnt been there for a while.


Halloween was a blast. The vibe at the party was a little weird, but by the end of the night, fantastic time. Good friends, great pictures, GREAT "punch", sharing some fantastic cigars, an overall success :)



Highlight of today:

The guy sitting to the left of me drinking coffee and reading a book, LOOKS LIKE SANTA CLAUS! hehe
