That's my life: January 2004 Archives

OK, for those that were hiding under a rock or something the last month or so, I went to FL last week :biggrin and had an AWESOME time!
spent some time with my uncle, during which time we worked out some plans that will hopefully pan out in the next couple months *crossing fingers*
and got to meet Whtetigr :banana (which was awesome all by itself :smile) and several of her friends (most of who are listed in the post below, I hope!)

there is no way I could go into all the details and do them justice, but the one thing I have to mention is the 'souvenir' I picked up when we went to 5 points one day

those of you that know me know this has been a long time coming :wink

and no, I'm NOT happy about being back :cry, but it will make the return that much better I'm certain :chtounge

my oldest boy was born :1luvu
since that day there have been many sleepless nights, gray hairs found, voices raised, and beatings threatened...
on the other hand, there have been even more hugs, kisses, and I love yous said...
the one drawback to this day, is coming to terms with the fact that I'm old enough to have a child this age :scared (when did that happen???)

Happy birthday dude, your mama loves you more than you could ever realize...:cry

I'm back
:cry
yes, I had a wonderful time...thank you so much to Whtetigr for putting up with me, to KC for the wonderful food, D for helping to come get me, DJ and RanRan for everything, and everyone else I met but either cannot remember your name or I don't want to use your real name here :smile
I'll post more of an update later, got to get ready for work now :walk_sad

*edited at work to add!! Thank you to Jamie and Speedbump for getting me to and from DFW airport and putting up with my basket case and grouchy self :uhoh3 *

:groupwave
Who needs :coffee?
can we tell I'm a bit excited?? :banana
it's finally the day, and if anyone hears from me before the next 2 weeks are over, feel privilaged! :wink
:wavey see you later!

just when you think that your co-workers have the lock on cluelessness...
:brick
I get a phone call the other day from the owners wife
:jaw
first time I've ever spoken to the woman in over 2 years of working there, hell, I didn't even know she knew who I was!!
she asked if I would PLEASE call OKC and walk them through the audit :wtf
different franchise, different procedures, but for some reason none of them can figure out how to do it :errrr
so I do, and after 1/2 the night on the phone with this person, (who I STILL can't figure out how he manages to do his job), it's still not working...
T to the rescue again...I drive up there, look the problem over, and figure out what they need to do to get their audit to balance. :fdup (I'm telling ya, I wish I had it as easy as their people do!!) went to dinner with the 'dingy sales chick' (her words, not mine!) :lol almost drank to much, and went back, went to the room and made a few calls, rested for a bit, then went and trained their night audit for 2 1/2 hours (that was interesting to say the least) then drove home...durring which I get a phone call from my property saying we're not balancing :let_it_all_out
perhaps I was right in my first assumption...:shrug

I just know I seriously need my vacation!!!!! :biggrin

well, it seems 2003 wasn't done with me yet...:let_it_all_out
on the way to work last night, at 10:45pm, a cop decided to give my year a fitting end, and pull me over (OK, so I wasn't wearing a seatbelt...but good goddess didn't he have some drunks or something to harass?!?! :hammer)
yes, I got a ticket :angry
a wonderful ending to a perfect year :uhoh3

oh well...I did have some great friends that called not long after I got there...who let me whine then cheered me up immensely! thanks to all of you :kisses

and I found out some interesting info on the :asshole this morning (don't you love that smiley?) from my co-worker...not sure what to do with it yet, but with the way he goes on about every little thing that I do...I'm sure I can think of something :angdev

yep, 2004 is looking pretty damn good!! :wavey
