That's my life: August 2003 Archives

well, it looks like I've been a bit busier than even I thought...since I was told that all my posts disappeared this morning :sad

I actually had 3 nights off this last week, had plans of getting things taken care of around here that I've been avoiding waiting for my days off to do...thats what I get for planning things...
I got a call Monday night from my boss...

"T, (yes, she really calls me that) what are you doing tomorrow?"
Me: not much, what's up?
boss: Durant got some new computers at both properties down there that they would like you to set up, and McAlester also has a new system that they need done...you interested?
Me: you're kidding, right? of course...never ask a geek if they 'want' to work on computers, of course they do! *g*
boss: I figured as much, also figured you could use the extra money (laughs) and I know you T, you do this one on the company, not just cause you get a kick out of it!

so....that's what I've been up to this week :biggrin only problem was, once I got everyone taken care of and set up, 2 of the 3 didn't want to cooperate on doing payroll (and thats got to be done Monday!) so had to go back to 1 in Durant and the one in McAlester and fix that little problem.
The REALLY good part of this, is I've 'proved' myself to the higher ups in corporate, so my boss said to be expecting allot more of this sort of thing to come my way...it seems I'm the only one out of 10 properties that the owner has, that know how to do it, and do it right...
now, if I could only get them to let me build them some GOOD computers, instead of trying to make the p.o.s. that they've been getting (rebuilt) to work right!
all this, just in time for EOM shit...oh fun...well, maybe I'll get a day off this week to rest up from it! :rofl

well, yesterday was middle dude's birthday :sad he's all of 7 now...
I swear they grow up to damn fast!
pictures will go up as soon as I get them developed, which will be after the roll gets finished :errrr due to trying to save a few to take of him riding his new bike :wink

My boss and a co-workers last day will be next Monday, I swear this must be some sort of cruel joke they're playing on me (right after EOM reports)...we also have 3 new people at work, who have NO idea it seems how our system works (which wouldn't bother me much, but guess who gets to fix the fuck ups?) the only silver lining to this would be, yours truly got a dollar an hour raise out of the deal (my boss convinced them I was thinking of leaving to!) due to being the only person staying that knew what the hell was going on...not that the thought of leaving didn't cross my mind...
still is to be honest...

and in the 'to cute for words' category...
the other night I heard a cat, now this in itself is not that unusual due to the fact I have 2 of them...so I didn't think much about it.
the next morning, I get up, and am fixing breakfast for the rug-rats, and my cats were in the back room (off the kitchen) in the windowsill 'talking' to something outside...so I go investigate.
I see the cutest little white kitten, with black ears and tail...meowing at my back door
so I let her in :brick after which, she proceeded to make herself right at home...
my other 2, are not really sure how they feel about this new development...curriosity to be sure (they wonder what the heck that thing on her 'tail' end is for one, as they were both born without one!) :lol and are not very sure about sharing 'their mama'
we haven't even given her a name yet...listen to me...yet, like I'm seriously considering keeping her! :hum I think I need my head examined!!
but she is so cute, and friendly, and cuddly, and, and...:uhoh3
help!!

:gmorning

Well, after giving myself massive headaches trying to configure certain plug-ins that only gave me 500 errors when I uploaded them :confused11, I took a little break. :smile
during which time, I learned how to import blogger entries :Woot while getting Texas T-bone to his new home over here at the Redeagle continuum (and away from that horrible blogspot!) go give him a welcome to the neighborhood!

School started here last week...I think mama is having a harder time dealing with this than they are...yes, this year my baby started Pre-K my baby is growing up to damn fast!
The good part about this, is now I get to see them more often...durring the summer they are gone with their dad most of the time, but during school, I get to take them, pick them up, help with homework, cook dinner, etc...not to mention them being here to stay with me on my nights off :biggrin so this is definitely a good thing!
I've missed them so much this summer...so if you notice me not posting as much (not like I did allot anyway!) or not being around for chit-chat...now you know why :1luvu
