There must be something in the air...

First a blog writer that I enjoy reading (cjane) was too sick to write a proper blog (you should read that post it's funny) and now I am feeling all crappy too!! Not nice at all.

I could blame the new job which exposes me to other sickies not to mention all their money which is coated in germs no doubt. But I've been leading a very sheltered existence lately so work has also forced me out into the world where I've been forced outside where the pollen can get me.

So either I've caught something from an evil customer who shared far to much of themselves, or the outside world has struck me down.

Either way I've got a sore throat, ucky cough and sore ears too. (Personally I'm thinking outside world... feels like a sinus infection to me I've had enough of those to know)

Anyway, I don't know if any of you have noticed but I am a bit of a complainer.... it's how I do... anywho.... I complain a lot!! But I've been trying to keep the whining to a minimum....

Now I look back at this post and realize that I've failed horribly.... when I feel it's ok to blog about being sick I am obviously complaining freely.

So sad (pathetic sad, not ya know... heart wrenching sad)

Oh well.... just how I do

Lates (cough cough)

ps. maybe it has something to do with the sickness... but I am having the aboslute hardest time spelling correctly tonight.... hmmmm must look into this.

Ha! Who knew I was such a genius?!

I never knew it, I mean I never knew it. Complete surprise to me!

So I've been working on a story, have most of it written really... but I decided it needed re-working. Rules changed, circumstances and what not, even a few characters changed.

At first I thought I was a big idiot for even attempting to change my story which was rather complicated and involved anyway.

SURPRISE!!! Turns out what I've wanted to change has worked out quite brilliantly. See genuis!

Just never knew how utterly brilliant I was.

Well I'm off to continue my great stroke of brillance!

Lates!

Well it's finally offical

I am once again a Wal-mart employee. Glad for the job and money.... not so excited about having to go through all the training agian... well no all the training but still enough that it's a pain in the butt. Still it's a job and that makes me happy.

They kept me in the dark as to where exactly I would be working. Now that has been revealed to me too, I am to be a cashier. It was debated whether I would be a Garden Center cashier (which I kinda wanted) and a regular cashier, so ya know... now I know.

So, I guess that's all I got. Supper is ready and I'm hungry for a yummy burger and FUNYUNS!! Oh how I love me some funyuns!! Yumer yumer yumer!

Alright...Lates!

How vast and deep...

OCEAN

An ocean (from the Greek Okeanos 'oceanus') is a major body of saline water fresh water, and a principal component of the hydrosphere. Approximately 72% of the Earth's surface (an ocean of some 361 million square kilometer) is covered by ocean, a continuous body of water that is customarily divided into several principal oceans and smaller seas. More than half of this area is over 3,000 meteres (9,800 ft) deep.

Isn't that amazing.

More to this random-ness later.

Oh so very very yummy!

I do so love me some Pride and Prej. I mean it's is one of my favorite books. So good!

Recently I found a 'continuing tale' entitled Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Two Shall Become One. Oh my word so good. Sharon Lathan is so talented. Not only did she gracefully combine the two stories, making it seem like something Jane Austen her self could have written, she does it in such a way that it still gives her her own voice. Really good stuff.

Only and I do mean only, downside to this novel is that it's only the first one, there are two that have scheduled releases coming up soon-ish and more to come after that.

So ya know, having to wait is a real bummer but hey what are you gonna do?

So very very good, and not only that she has her own website (as many author's do) and it has fun things for all to enjoy as well! http://www.darcysaga.net/ check it out if you are a fan, see all the fun things you can see!

Welp I'm off. Gots to find something else fun to read!

Lates!

Easter and stuff

I don't know if you have noticed, but I seem to have blog a.d.d. in that I just can't seem to leave the background alone. It's thecutestblogontheblock.com 's fault. They have so many cute options I just can't stop.

I'm really diggin this one right now though, so it'll probably be awhile before I change it again.
I think it's got a nice spring vibe flowin through it.

So I don't know if it was my subconscious mind's way of reminding me that Easter was here when I had forgotten, but I had a wicked weird dream. (Nothing new there eh?)

I'm not going to go into the details, not the point of this entry (don't know that if it actually has a purpose but whatev) my point is, isn't the brain odd. It does what it can to help us even if we do have a few misgivings about it. Good ol' brain. Further proof that it wants us to succeed.

Ok I think I am now done rambling in my sleep befuddled state. (Just thought I was due to blog and this was all I could think of to talk about)

Oh and ...........

Happy Easter!

The best laid plans...

Anyone who knows me, probably knows exactly how reliable I am.

Well I guess I should qualify that... I can be extremely reliable when it comes to certain matters.

But then on others...... well.....

I've had several plans ruminating in this ol' noggin of mine. And this past Saturday I put another one in there. I came up with an idea for a scrapbook type of project. I really want to make these things!!! (And no I won't say what it is... there are people out there who it WILL remain a surprise for!) Thing is... I have several other things I need to do before I can do the fun things.

So here is what I do. I make lists... lots of lists.

Current list:

Edit Jess' paper. --- Dishes at Sarah's.

Clean room. --- Call Walmart.

Clean anything. --- Clean for Cheryl.

Work on story. --- Work on scraping project.



You see my problem. I make a list and just don't follow through.

Ok so I've started a couple of them. But..... I can almost guarantee that the entire list won't get finished.

Ah if only I was more reliable. What are ya gonna do??






ps. called walmart since writing this.... the whole process is just dumb!! Makes me not want to job.... well almost.

p.p.s oooh!! Look at that!!! One more item off the list!!!

Interviews.....

So I had an interview with....(sigh) walmart.

Don't get me wrong... I would love a job, I just.... is it evil to say I really didn't want to work for walmart again, and now that I've admitted it out loud at least more than once, I probably won't get the job. It's not so much walmart, or the job (cashier in L&G) it's.... I dunno, I guess it's that I've done walmart and I know that it's not something that easily leads to bigger and better ya know? Then again most jobs that I've had don't exactly lead to that so.....

Anyway on with the complaining... yes complaining.... I feel that my blog has become a place for me to vent my feelings, whether good or bad.

I knew some of the people going in, I mean hello I worked at that store half a year and shopped there besides, yeah I should know some of the people. So that was ok, kinda nice actually. But I hate stupid interviews.

The questions are supposedly designed to find out how good you are at teamwork, multi-tasking, handling responsibility... stuff like that. Questions like give me a time when you were working with a team, what was hard about it, what did/could you do to make it better, what did you learn from it all?

I mean, the heck?!?! Could we make this any harder? Not to mention, anyone can make up a story to paint themselves in a good light, and you wouldn't know that they are actually a really bad person to have working for you until they are causing you problems, or someone could stammer all over their answer and sound incompetent and in truth they are dedicated employees.

Ok I get that they have to try and weed people out some how, but I seriously hate those type of questions.

Don't know if I got the job. Who cares that I worked for Walmart for more than a year, who cares that I've done this exact type of job for around 5 years. It all depends on if the stupid computer thinks that I answered the questions well enough to go ahead and hire me.

*sigh* why couldn't I have heard from the library. I really want that job. I mean really really really want that job. But it's probably already filled.

Oh well... such is the life.


And again don't get me wrong, if walmart wants to hire me, I'm all for it.... just feeling anxiety over it all.
