A trying 24 hours ...

... Where to begin?
I suppose I could start with early last night.
I got Lisa to Call my cell service provider because we needed to make a lot of changes.
My mother, father, brother and I are all on the same invoice, and I had noticed that my father was being charged for things that he doesn't need and that he won't ever know how to use.
They were all being gauged.
I spoke to Lise and she practically begged me to let her do it as she was PMS-ing and would be glad to Jedi Mind Fuck the "Man".
So I let her, after all I'm not stupid.
Let me just say that watching her work was awesome. It was a long and tiring process but she finally made it. The end result:
My parents and brother will be paying less than half of what they were paying before.
And I... I got the iPhooone!
I was told by the service rep on the phone that I could pick up the brick at the store and would bill my accound and that I didn't have anything to worry about.
Safe to say that anytime any one says anything like that to me I should know that I am going to have a real hard time, and as expected I did.
I feel like it's been 4 days of Lise and I begging for some one to do what is right, and just treat the customer with a tad of respect.
I think if we were to add up the hours it would be like 6 hours of negotiating, begging pleading and frustration.
There were a few follow up calls ... But all is still good in da hood!
THANKS LISE! You Rock.

Another Day Another Dollar.

Is it just me or is the entire world beginning to lack enthusiasm when it comes to work as of late. I don't know if it's the effects of the media making the economy look as if we're heading for Black Monday again or if it's just we're all worked to the bone and have to deal with the crazy politics in the office or work place, but people just don't seem happy to be working. Sometimes I think it may be because our dollar can't be stretched as far as it used to.
What ever the case I send out warm regards to all of you.
Keep pushing.

Worst Christmas On RECORD!

And that's just the way it went this year.

I know I've been a little Scroogy this year to begin with, but let me just say that nothing in this world did anything to make my mood better.

I don't even know where to begin:

-The bank fucked up our loan payments.

-Bob and I came soooo close to being t-boned in an intersection.

-We couldn't purchase gifts this year.

-Lisa got into a car accident.

-I got into a huge scrap with my mother Christmas day in front of all the family!

The details aren't important. It's just the fact that these things even happened. What the FUCK???

What's wrong with people?

I'm not into all the consumerism that comes with Christmas any more. The meaning of the Holiday has escaped so many of us. I give up.

I QUIT CHRISTMAS! Bah hum bug.

Hacked!!!!

I was going to do some research and hack the stupid thing my self but as it turns out Lisa did it for me.

The first hack I used was ZiPhone, and it rocked. I loved all the neat themes you could put on the iPood. I was fascinated by this silly Louis Vuitton theme that I used to have, and frankly in comparison to the one Lise dld for me it was kinda lame. This new one is awesome, and comes with it's own slider. LOVE IT! The first shot below is what the home screen looks like.

This next picture is what the various pages look like with your apps and the LV background. Some of the app icons are changed to the LV themes gold chromatic icons and they're pretty. The Cydia icon is a CHIC! I think she is supposedly wearing an LV dress in gold. As you open certain apps like your stock Calendar and others will show you a picture of an LV store, or a model holding their goods. I think it was well thought out. I love it actually. :D

So thanks to Lisa for taking the time out of her day to sort this shit out for me. I would have gotten around to it eventually, but I just didn't feel like it. :D I am such a Lazy Basterd :D

Check you guys later.

I'm Back...

at the Office that is.

NOTE: for those of you who took the time out of your days to read what I posted yesterday you would have noticed that I wrote that I forgot to forward the phones at the office.

The truth is I DID NOT FORGET!

The phones were forwarded. I just forgot to put the service ring on. My work mate almost convinced me of such, until I remembered that I called the office to check that the lines were forwarded and spoke to the answering service.

I hate that people make me doubt myself.

Any how.

It's nice to be alone today. I am sure it's going to be another slow day but that's ok. I don't mind.

I hope I get to see some of the fun agents today for a while.

So ... you'll be happy to know that I finally SLEPT last eve.

At about 1 am I was so completely exhausted that I passed out. It was awesome. I drove the hubby to work this morning then fell asleep for a couple more hours. Ah joyful blissful sleep. I bet I had a smile on my face the whole time. *sigh* It was complete Awesomeness!

I have noticed that since I have been working here, and since I have been away from the psychos at C21 my posts seem almost melancholy. Isn't that weird?

I went from ANGRY NASTY BITCHY wanting to kill the whole world Crash to ... Meh!

In fact Lise says ever since I married the Bob, that I am much happier over all and don't seem to have an angry bone in my body any more.

That makes me sad.

As I sit here preparing to bite into my Bagel, I feel like I should be mourning. I have this huge sense of loss. Truth be told I liked the angry Crash a lot. I liked my personality and the fact that I seemed to smile a whole lot more.

It's like a wild horse they are so strong and beautiful in their state of nature, unconformed unchanged and most of all not broken.

Once these steeds are broken it's like they are stuck in this perpetual state of MEH! I think that's what's happened to me since I got married. It's just what I had always feared.

I've been BROKEN! I didn't even see it happening. I feel like I've been conned.

The worst part of this is that even if I wanted to return to my wild self I couldn't. I wouldn't know how. I got fat. and utterly complacent.

Ok... I'm getting depressed... I am going to go back to munching on my whole wheat begal and stop posting for today. Meh.

From the Depths Below...

I feel like I just crawled out from under the worlds dirtiest ronchiest rock. Sleep has escaped me all week and it's as if I am walking in Bizzaro world today.
Last night when I left the office I forgot to forward the phones. This is not a good thing.
I went to pick up my husband from work, did an emergency grocery shop, spoke to a couple of my friends for like 5 mins, then I went to lie down. I tossed and turned all night long until I had to drive my husband to work this morning. I drove back home in the hopes of taking a shower but I was so tired I finally got the chance to take a nap on the couch. Exactly one hour later I awoke to my alarm, got dressed and dragged my sorry butt to work.
Sometimes I wonder what I am doing here.
Why do I bother.
It's going to be another tight week, and I am afraid of what may or may not transpire.
This month and the lack of hours at work has been the biggest contributing factor to my insomnia. I can barely get the crazy thoughts out of my head long enough to close my eyes. I wish it were different, but it's not. I have a few worries that seem to nag at me like a reoccurring nightmare.
Something needs to change. I might need to seek out professional help if this were to continue, or worst case scenario I would just continue to loose sleep until my body shuts it's self down and I pass on.
I can't believe what fabulous options these are.

Give me strength it's just one more day until tomorrow.

Still Going...

So here I be... at like 2 am, and I am still coverting video for the Ipood. I can't wait untill it's done so that I can at least have something to watch at work Friday night.
Speaking of stuff to do.
I think I am the queen of all awesomeness. I thought I would make my self some sleepytime time tea so that I could eventually fall asleep. I had already had some tea earlier so I thought I would rinse the cup out with some of the water in the kettle. Don't I end up pouring it (the boiling hot water) on to my finger tips accidentally. (Obviously an accident not into S&M over here)
So this is going to be one more of those awesome evenings. YEAH ME!
*sigh*

I AM SOO TIRED!

Ok. So seriously.
I have had friends over for the past few days non stop. I haven't slept in what appears to be a week (don't remember what day I actually slept last). I suppose sleeping now would be a good thing except for the fact that I can't sleep. I am completely awake, and feeling like complete ass.
I know I've been completely stressed out lately, and I know that when I stress I tend to loose sleep. This doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out.
So I figure since I am up I need to get some videos translated to mpg4 so that I can watch them on my IPood at so that when I am at work I can catch up on shit when it's absolutely dead.
God knows after 5:30 pm the phone may only ring once, and seeing as it's a Friday night I highly doubt that any one is going to be asking me for an offer.
So here I sit blogging, converting avi files and playing Tap Defense on the iPood.
I think this is going to turn into another review.
:D
As it turns out I am a huge fan of strategy games even if I am not that smart. Tap Defense is awesome because it offers different levels of game play in the free version.
Also before each level you are given messages and tips. This I think is an awesome feature for those of us who are strategically challenged. The point of the game is to stop the minions of hell from entering the gates of heaven. Your able to do this by building defensive towers that shoot arrows water ice and magic at your opponents.

Sure I've read the art of war... but that doesn't bean I totally understand. General Smeneral. :D
I just happen to be a nerd with out nerd abilities. So go out and give tap defense a shot... It's free from the app store.
I think the next step for me is to rehack the Ipood last hack was good. I liked the themes. Now that I have been legit at 2.0 for a while I am ready for the cool shit that comes along with the hacks.
All my iphone friends are happy with their new hacks and all the cool shite they are doing. I am getting bored with the same old same old on the ipood. I miss my LV background and theme. I'd love to have something similar this time around.

FINNALLY MAYBE PEOPLE WILL STOP WEARING THESE STUPID THINGS!

So I was reading one of my fav blogs and this is what I found. When I first looked at the picture I had no idea what it was. So I read.

As it turns out this is what is left after a 3 year old got their CROC caught on an escalator. I continued to read on and found out that there is a Lawsuit pending, and that it's possible that the makers of the stupid ugly rubber foot cover known as CROCS might have known about the potential danger.

The three year old suffered some broken toes. Seriously. How sad is that.

Poor little kid.

I BESEECH YOU stop wearing these fucking ugly pieces of rubber. Not just for the sake of good taste but now for your own safety.

Thanks Dlisted for posting this.

The kindness of Strangers.

I don't know why, but for some reason I am always surprised when strangers are kind. It's not just when they do something nice for me I mean in general. The people who take in stray injured animals and nurse them back to health or even when some one lets an older pedestrian cross in front of their vehicle even if the driver has the right of way. The smiles people give you from behind the counter, or even when some one says "Thank You" when you hold the door open for them.
I always try to be kind to every one I come across. I smile in the elevator, and say hello or good day. I try to give people the best side of me, if I have something I can share I do. If I know that I can do something to make some ones day better I will. I just never really encounter the same in return.
TODAY however, there are these girls that my Sister in Law knows and they are now trying to get me a job. They don't even know me. They don't know anything about me but they are willing to try to help me out.
It's been my experience that every time I do something nice for some one I get Fugged in the end (That's right with a capital "F"). Having some one want to try to help me out today is just awesome. If I get this job things can go back to normal again. The Bobster and I can relax a little and pay down our debt.
Thanks Helen and Maria. Really, Thank You.
That's not to say that my friends aren't trying to help me out because they are.
I love all you guys.

The Tudors Marathon

Man I don't know what's got into me, but I am obsessed with the show. I have watched like 6 episodes in one night...
Awesome. On to the next.

Just saw this on one of my fav Blogs...

So here I sit at work... It's finally quiet around here and I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs when I saw this video.

Just to break it down for you it's Avril being stalked by some HUGE Guy, all the while the Paparazzi ass monkeys do nothing to help her out. Fucking Loosers.

Watching this video made me realize how little she really is.

Having said that... i don't like her shit too much but I think there is something really sweet about her.

Dragons Den is awesome!

I love this show.

Greek Tv Pix

Ah the corny Greek comedies.

Just needed to get out...

I felt like such shit. I needed to get out of the house today.
I tried to get Bobby to come with me to my parents place tonight, I felt so bad. He came home from work, ate some eggs, and passed out. I tried to wake him up after 3 hours of sleep, but there was no hope.
I just needed to got the hell out of the house so seeing as my mom made Spare Ribs and French Fries I thought I would make my way over. I miss just hanging out on the couch with my parents eating in front of the Greek comedies that are reminiscent of the Telenovo shows Ugly Betty is always talking about.
I took some photos and will be posting them later.
Ah... The crazy parents.

At least shit got paid this month so far.
On to the next
