I love it when I have reasons to write in this thing. (Jamie, I seriously owe you an email, and I’ll get to it eventually, but most of what I have to say will probably end up here)
So… first off, that ho/bitch/jackass kimmie gibler is getting on my last nerve. Here’s the deal. My boss is finally getting the office that she deserves (they’re splitting my other bosses office in half) and at first the thought was that kimmie would get deb’s (my boss) old cube. I thought that was totally lame because a.) debs old cube is bigger than all the other cubes b) she doesn’t need all that space, she’s hardly here throughout the week and c) she never shuts up and I wouldn’t want to be in the middle of her and roxy all day , hearing them talk over me, helll nooo. So the day before our sales staff meeting, my other boss, morgan, was talking to deb about who was going to get who’s desk and whatnot, deb told him the original idea and he thought that I should have deb’s desk because of how chatty roxy and kimmie are, which made me very happy. So the next day we have our sales meeting which is just the females in the office. So at the end I brought up the fact that Deb’s office would be done this week (This was last friday), and she brought up the moving of cubes, but left it to us to decide who got which desk. Which of course pissed me off because I thought that she should just say who got what. So anyway I didn’t say anything, but kimmie, of course, goes “well I think that I should have it because it would be so noisy if rox and I sat together” something about how their voices would be travelling in the same direction or something. Super lame. So I was like whatever and then the meeting ended. It wasn’t really settled. So then I was thinking about it more and more and was totally pissed. So I emailed my boss, who was gone by this time, and told her that I thought that I should have the desk, for the reasons I’ve already listed above. So then I had this Monday off, and on Tuesday my boss hadn’t written me back but she and Morgan talked about it again and they agreed that I would get her old desk! Ha!
So now I have a new reason to despise Kimmie. Yesterday, my boss sent out an email saying that I would be getting her old desk. That was in the morning, then in the afternoon, Kimmie comes over to my desk and says something like “so where am I moving?” and I’m like “here”, or something like that. It was so stupid though because hello, deb sent that email. She’s a jackass. Anyway, that’s not all… then I heard her talking to Morgan and I know that they were talking about the television. I’ve basically held control of the television that’s on our side of the office. And when Chris the guy who is a producer is here he controls the channels that we watch (we only have one reciever), anyway… when he’s not here I usually have it on something that’s not news, like not cspan, but some makeover show or hgtv, or soap operas. So yesterday it just happened to be on the Wayne Brady show, ’cause there was nothing else on and thats what comes on before Oprah. There were some people singing on the show, badly on purpose. Maybe the volume was too high, I dunno. It wasn’t on high like you would normally have it on if you were at home or something. So anyway, thats when she was talking to Morgan. So this morning, Kimmie isn’t here, she got the day off to be with her friends who were visiting from out of town, but Morgan comes over to me and says that he got a complaint about the tv from ’someone’ (like I don’t know). He said that originally the tv was intended to be used for background noise, blah, blah, blah, and that we should probably just keep it on news channels like cspan or cnbc or something. So I said that I didn’t care and that I didn’t want to be in charge of the tv anymore anyway. And I totally don’t because if I have to keep the tv at the volume that they want, I can’t hear it and it makes more sense for me to just continue to listen to my music. So that’s what I’m going to do. I’m not turning the tv on when I come in on Monday. Lets see how long it takes motormouth to say something about it being off. I can’t stand her at ALL.
to be continued…
Deb’s office is finally done and they moved her telephone line today so when she gets back she should be able to move all her stuff into her new office and then I can move my stuff over to her old desk. I can’t wait!
This is true. I’m watching her right now on the Ellen Degeneres show. Horrible. Poor Dolly. I’m at work and the only two people here are me and my boss, well one of my bosses. It’s weird. I hope he leaves at 5 so I can have my last hour to myself.
That’d be nice. It’s not weird that I want to get the new George Michael cd is it?? I’ve heard great things about it. I think, I’m pretty sure I have.
My other boss nominated me for our company’s Above & Beyond award, which is given to the employee who goes, guess what, above & beyond in their work. Which I really have done, with the whole lip page. Anyway… Today was our company conference call/meeting, and they announced all the nominees, there were like 5 or 6 other people nominated from different sites and I won! hehe… So I get a day off and a $50 American Express Gift Card. Veddy nice.
Overall this morning has been good, it was preceeded by a purdy good weekend too. I saw Van Helsing with Jamie and Michele. Unfortunately Richy was right about the movie being completely horrible. It was funny though. They should of just turned it into a spoof on vampire flicks or something.
Ugh.. I’m now off to make hundreds of copies. I feel so smart. Yay.
Ok, so I’m back and I’m so annoyed at work. As usual. It’s funny, for all intensive purposes things are good with work in general. I got a raise, I get every other monday off. Yay, that’s great. But I still am completely unsatisfied and I don’t want to be here. I’m not some picky nut who can never be satisfied in a job. Yes I like the money that I make and I appreciate it, but there is something that matters more. I want to do something fun and I want to be in charge of it. My bosses aren’t evil people and they don’t need to be in order for me to want to do something else.
Making copies and media kits is not my idea of a good time at work. Ech. Oh I must talk about how irritating Roxy and Kimmy (ya know like Kimmy (or Kimmie) Gibler from Full House, she’s that annoying) were today. Well Roxy came in early in the morning and proceeded to stay for half the day. I got in early so I turned the tv on. So like a few hours past and she didn’t say anything, then it happened. “can we take a break from the tv?” Butthead! So I turned it off. She’s such a butthead, if she’s here tomorrow morning I’m not turning the tv on. I’m just going to play my music. I kinda miss my music anyway. For any day that she’s here I’m not going to fuck with the tv. I’m just going to leave it off and then my boss will be like “why isn’t the tv on?” and I’ll just say “oh I don’t know”… Roxy is such a turd.. I know I’ve said this before but it’s true, when she’s not complaining about how it’s cold in here (hello! we’ve covered this, she says it all the time, we know it’s cold in here, it’s ALWAYS cold in here), she’s saying how quiet it is in here, but then we get a tv for background noise and then it’s too loud…ohh.. her poor ears… what the fuck ever… She’s one of those parents who doesn’t have a TV in her house, or its that or they don’t have cable, something primitive.
I don’t get people like that. You know it is possible to have a tv in your house and STILL manage to have smart, intelligent, active kids. Jackass, I think I even heard her talking to her daughter saying she couldn’t have a Teen Glamour or Mademoiselle magazine ’cause it was too smutty or something… What is she smoking?? And as for Kimmy Gibler, she wouldn’t shut up as usual. I had to make media kits for this presentation she was going to give tomorrow (but got cancelled! jerkoffs!) and I know thats why my mood has been particularly shitty today. And the fact that she knows nothing about using a computer just makes things even more perfect. I wish they would all take computer classes, I’m serious, they all need that beginners class we’re they start off by going “this is a monitor, this is a cpu, this is a mouse”
Luckily before Roxy couldn’t handle the noise I got to see John Mayer on The View. He’s so great and single! Always a good thing.
I finally got around to typing up my first draft of my entry into the Coffee House contest. I don’t think I’ve talked about it here yet. So here’s the deal. These two women in Sonora, California own a coffee shop/non-profit ceramics studio. They really want to focus on the non-profit organization and they don’t have the time to run both, so they’re selling the coffee shop. Instead of just going through the normal channels of selling a business they’re holding an essay contest to find a new owner. If you win all you have to do is pay a buck and it’s yours, with all the equipment, furniture, space, etc. Right now the coffee shop and ceramics studio are in the same building, but once the business is sold the ceramics shop is going to move out, so you’ll have the entire space. It’s the coolest thing ever. They haven’t even begun to tap the potential of this place. It’s located in the downtown Sonora area, and they’re already doing great business, without advertising or staying open for the local teenagers after school.
So I’m really excited at the prospect of winning this contest. The first part is the essay, where some friends of the owners will read the entries and separate them into two piles “might be a good match” and “might not be a good match”, then the owners themselves will read the “good matches” and then pick two to five people to come up and interview in person and show them around the shop to make sure they really want to take the place on. Then they’ll offer their pick the coffee shop.
So like I said I finally got around to typing up my entry, after handwriting different ideas in my notebook. It never felt right that way, so when I was typing it, it all sounded great. So I’m leaving work right now and I’m off to find some great stationary. The entry has to be handwritten. ![]()
It’s hard to get donations, I need to get them or else I’m going to look like a complete idiot to this guy that I’ve had a crush on since high school. It’d be a seriously sad state of affairs if I can’t get someone, anyone to dontate some dough (not pizza dough, I’m talking cash people).
I’m like Lucy on ‘I Love Lucy’, always getting myself involved in, or creating my very own, hairbrained schemes. But this really isn’t a scheme, scheme, well it started out that way but it really is for a good cause. This guy that I’ve liked, his name is Joe and he’a professional football player. He’s from my hometown and he’s coming back to host this football camp for kids from grade 5 through seniors in high school. It’s a big deal ’cause he’s going to have other pro players there and they’re going to teach the kids about good nutirtion, training, stay in school, blah, blah, blah. All of that is great. He’s got everything covered except the lunches for the campers, which is shitty because there’s going to be at the most 500 campers. So I’ve taken it upon myself to help and try to find more sponosors to donate food or money to buy food. I only started to do this last friday or thursday so I shouldn’t be all psycho about it yet, but I have no patience and I wish these people would call me back and tell me they can help out.
Today is my day off from work. Yay! I went to see the movie “Mean Girls.” I love going to the theatre when nobody else is there, or at least only 4 or 5 other people. (This is totally off topic but Passions is on right now and it is sooooo lame. This show has to be some joke, like some spoof on soap operas, one day the creators of the show are gonna just pop up and go “we’re kidding,we were just fuckin’ with ya!”) Anyway, Mean Girls was alright. It wasn’t as funny as I thought it might be, but whatever… it was cool to see my mom’s car in the movie though. Now that I think of it there were some serious truths in that movie, about girls and how we treat each other. The sad thing is that some of that behavior doesn’t stop when you’re out of high school.
I have this nagging feeling that I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I’d much rather do nothing so that I can do everything.
It’s 10-o-clock on Saturday night and I’m dying for a white chocolate mocha, but I’m tired. Sleep would be good right now. Well today I updated my myspace profile, so I think I’ve entered something in every option possible.
There was a Keen Eddie marathon on today. That was my first time actually watching the show all the way through, it’s really good. Great for practicing my british accent.
Thought for the day: Save your change! I’ve been saving change in my plastic piggy bank for like a year now, I don’t give exact change anymore, I just use bills and save all the change I get back, so today I used one of those coinstar thingys at albertsons and I had 194 bucks in change! niiice. change is good.
