Computer Takes a Dump

Well, my desktop computer took a dump. I'm wondering if any of my followers have someone they recommend to look it over and see what's going on, if anything can be recovered or just what the hell I did to it when I picked it up and threw it across the room and it smashed into a hundred pieces -- okay, not really, but I wanted to when it wouldn't turn on.

Bite it 'till it bleeds.

It got worse. My job today was last-minute, only supposed to go for a couple hours (I got another 170 pages.) I had the rush that had to go out today by 2:00 and here I was stuck in a job with a man who kept saying you know, and I was like, and she was like and this is how it went, dah, dah, dah...... I bit my tongue about 10 times today. I wanted to smack this man upside the head and say, "Really?" My mom always said, "Bite your tongue." When I would say, "Mom, I did bite my tongue." She would say, "Bite it 'till it bleeds." Let me just say....my thung is tho thor.

The Answer is: Yes.

Going on a week of tooth pain, I finally got in to see a dentist on Wednesday. He told me I have a cracked tooth and a fractured tooth, but that he couldn't fix it until February 3rd. I told him, "Uh, Hell No." I can't have this toothache for another 12 days. So long story short, I might have to invest in Orajel stock -- well, not really because I have no money to play the stock market, but not that I would want to anyway. So that brings up another thing. Today I called to find out how the appeal process was going with the Ada County Indigent Service and they said the hospital didn't put in an appeal and that I would be responsible for paying the full amount of all my medical bills -- "No help for you." (say like the soup Nazi) Well, needless to say it wasn't good news to get right before you're supposed to go into a job, so I went into the office and told my boss -- you're probably thinking, oh, she's probably going to tell her she can't take the job, right? No. I asked for an emergency cigarette. I lit up and went to my job, sat in the parking lot and cried and cried smoking that shitty thing feeling sorry for myself. After stinking myself up, I compose myself like a professional and go into the attorney's office. After I'm finished with the job, 120 pages later, the attorney says, "Oh, by the way, we have to go to trial on Tuesday. I'm going to need this by Monday." I smiled and said, "No, problem."
So my final question is: Can it get any worse?

New Place

I've found a place to rent! It's a 2 bedroom 1 bath place that needs a little tlc and I'm up for the challenge, I guess. I move in on Saturday, February 12th, but will do a little cleaning/sprucing and adding a temporary fence on the 11th. I'm sad to see this house go back to Jade, but glad I'm still in the area I love -- 83705 area that is. I will post pictures when I'm all settled in.

Assistant 4 Hire

Are you in need of a job? Can you type? Do you clean? Are you able to walk the dog?
If you've answered yes to all of these requests, YOU'RE HIRED!!!!!
At the beginning of the year I started out with an attitude like "This is my year dammit." Well, so far, it's been a pooper-scooper deal. I'm having to once again pack up my household and leave this little place I've called home for a year because I can't qualify to buy a house because of my medical bills. So along with being busy with work -- and, yes, I'm glad I have a job -- I've got to now find a place who will rent to me that will accept dogs or I will have to say goodbye to the dogs. Do you think I have time to search and call on places for rent? HELL no. I either need an assistant to do the research for me to find a house, check them all out, then narrow it down to 3 and then I'd go check them out (oh, plus you have to walk the dog) OR you stay at my house and bust out 285 pages and I'll do the checking around and walk the dog.
I'm just frustrated as hell and have had a constant headache since the 4th of January. I just want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nah, I take that back, in my head I just screamed and it hurt.

It's over? I wanna redo.

So even though I was in Richfield for a week, do you think I was able to do anything fun? Nah, I had so much work to take down with me, I didn't do anything but work -- oh, I take that back, New Years Eve, we got together for dinner and games. I was able to complete 488 pages, send them to my proofer, make the corrections on them and then send them into the office to be processed. I'm now working on the final transcript which is 168 pages and I have 62 pages to go and then give to my proofer. So here it is the last day of "vacation," it's 1:17 p.m., Sunday, and I have to work tomorrow. I want a redo of my week vacation.

2011


Well, it's been one year ago today that I said I was going to attempt at blogging. Well, I can scratch that off my list of goals for the year.
Another goal I attempted and succeeded at was losing weight, 17 pounds. Even though I have more to go, it's worth scratching off the list.
Next accomplished goal was quitting smoking. As of last Thursday, it was 10 weeks. Yes, I've had a couple, but I'm still saying 10 weeks.
So here's to another year of hopeful and successful goals waiting to be accomplished! Happy New Year!
