Sooo

I have an idea for a different blog which I will be creating after I finish this one for tonight.

So I upset one of my coworkers tonight. As horrible as it sounds, it felt great! We get bonus depending on how much we sell in a month. There was a recent change in the structure of our bonus, to be honest, the new structure sucks compared to the one we had before. But come on, who else really has any control over how much they make? Plus, the base pay we receive is way more than enough for someone my age to live on and be comfortable. But this guy comes over to me and asks me how much I made the company last month. So I let him know and then he goes on a rant about how he feels it is unfair that "we make all of this money for the company and we don't even get 5% of it back." My reaction? GROW UP! I really have a problem with people who have just graduated from college and feel entitled because of that. I want everyone to have to work in a crappy min (or below min) wage job, work too many hours and make hardly any money. Maybe then they will feel appreciative to make well over 6000 a year more than the poverty line. And these are people with no real bills and some who still live with their parents or have their parents pay their rent. AGAIN, WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING?! This probably should not bother me as much as it does but the fact that people my age are so damn clueless about how bad the economy is and who feel like at 22-28 they feel like they should be making $50,000 or more GET REAL AND BE HAPPY THAT YOU HAVE A JOB AT ALL! So it ended with me telling him that I was happy with my job, I understand where the money we make the company goes (even an idiot can figure how that it takes a lot of money to run a business) and that if he was so unhappy that maybe he should find another job, no one is making him stay and he is free to leave at any time. At this point his face just kind of dropped and he told me that he was in the process of starting his own business because he cannot stand not having control over his money and so on. So I told him good luck and moved on my work. But seriously! Ugh!

But that is my rant for the day. Now, onto my new blog idea!!!

April challenge

So, how appropriate is it that the challenge is over but now I actually have something to write about, haha?

Sam and I were watching Super Size Me a couple nights ago. It was her first time watching it and so at the end she said that it made her want to do the opposite and being the great girlfriend that I am agreed to go along with her on this challenge. So the rules are basically no fast food for 30 days. We will eat at home most nights. 'Slow food' as we call it is not included but everything else is, including the food we have available to us at work. It is definitely going to be a challenge for us because we are use to eating out a lot. But this will hopefully help us with having a healthier lifestyle and it most definitely will help us save money.

I am also challenging myself to get back into a gym routine. Since Cyrus switched schedules I've gotten lazy. So I want to go to the gym a minimum of 3 nights a week for cardio and 3 nights for weights. I will be doing cardio and abs at work bc they have better equipment and weights and round 2 of abs at home with Sam. This is also going to be a huge challenge.

Wish me luck! I am going to need it!

31 days

This is the longest I have blogged at one time. I am more of a boring, private person so I haven't yet made up my mind if I want to continue this experiment but it has definitely been a journey. Thank you Teddie for challenging me and I hope your kids enjoyed it as much as I did

Until next time...

*insert something clever here*

So today started off horrible! I was upset and pissed off and I took it all out on Sam who really didn't deserve it. But she was able to calm me down, help me out and everything is better now :) She helped me (with less than no help from 'tech support') to get the network set up. Then we took at quick trip to Ikea for lunch and a couple little things. And I just set up my netflix on my wii and I am officially watching tv again! Yay! So hopefully the rest of my night is much better. Sam and I have a date night planned for tonight and I am excited. We don't really get too much time to spend with each other and it is definitely needed :)

But it is nap time!

THE TIME HAS COME!!!

In 30 minutes I will be free from work for two whole days! In the morning I am having cable installed! And if I get the numbers I want, with my second check in April I will have enough money to fund my trip to Atlanta! I AM SO EXCITED!

So we have new kids on the team, I am not sure if I have mentioned this yet or not, but anyway, last night we had our monthly team meeting. It was crazy. I had already met three of the four new people on our team and the fourth is...well he was crazy high! It was ridiculous. Even more funny was when the elder of the team called him out on it. It was a "had to be there moment" but hilarious just the same. I am just glad that I do not have to sit next to him. The girl I am sitting next to now is cool. I think Saskia has good matching skills =P

But man today has been a doosey! Customers have been more outrageous that usual...I may never understand how most people think and I am beginning to think more and more that thinking in an 'abnormal' way is much better. But oh well, my work husband is calling me so I've gotta run :)

AHHHHHHH

So I have always heard the saying that the freaks come out at night. I just want to add that the crazies come out at the end and very beginning of every month. I theorize that this is because that is when they generally get paid and they like to spend their money before its even here...eggs in their basket type of thing. So what am I trying to say? I am saying that if you have a suspended license do not call me and act surprised that I cannot insure you! Do not lie to me about what is on your driving record and then back track like a teenager whose party was busted by the cops and do not call me and expect to pay $20 a month for insurance because that is what you paid in 1975 IT IS 2011 PEOPLE AND YOU HAVEN'T HAD INSURANCE SINCE 1980 WHAT DO YOU REALLY EXPECT?

two days

left until I am free!!!!! For a couple days at least. Today at work was OMG so slow! (Speaking of, did you know that OMG and LOL were added to the dictionary...who is wrong now computer? MWHAHAH take that with your red swiggly line!) Anyway, yeah work was slow and I swear, the stupidest and most wasteful part of society calls on Sundays. Its like everything else is closed so they can't go bug people at their usually haunts so they call us instead. Pffft, like I have time for your whiney butt. Somehow I did pull a cross sale out of my behind. I am still not sure how that happened though.

But on to more depressing matters. Jake sent me a text today because his piercing is infected and he wanted to know what to do. So, because I have common sense, I told him to take it out...but what does he say? "Well that isn't what everyone else said". So, I will admit that my response was a little harsh, albeit necessary. I told him that the reason it was infected was because his body was rejecting it and he didn't keep it clean like he should have but I understood that he was going to do what he wanted regardless of what I had to say about the subject and that if he actually wanted my opinion I was more than happy to help him out but if not then don't bother even asking. But that again my recommendation was to clean it, keep it clean and remove the ring. I mean, its not like I am making this up. I have had many piercings and yeah I heal abnormally fast but is it not common sense how to fix that situation? I understand that he is still young, dumb, and irresponsible but come on! I don't know. I still feel bad about it because I know he feels like I am the only one on his side most days. I will apologize to him in the morning.

But that is all I have tonight. I hope your Sunday was better than mine :)
