Title: Thursday and I think I can see my house from up here!
Post by: asdf2231 on February 19, 2009, 10:35:49 AM
Started the day on a bit of an up!

had a really good night last night and got a decent amount of sleep.  My eldest is back at school for the first time this week after being home sick so the house has some quiet, puppers is being a doll.

I have to do shopping later this morning and then the afternoon is a vet appointment and allergy shots for the kiddies.

Cold as heck and sunny here at least.

Why not take them to a regular doctor?  :rotf:

Who the hell can afford a REAL doctor these days? Duh!

I just hate trying holding them down when the vet crams the thermometer in, not to mention when they get the big de-worming pill :p

Oh hay, I am in a good mood today almost in spite of the fact that my wife told me with an absolute straight face last night that we have lost over a hundred freaking thousand dollars from our retirement and investment assets in the last six months.

How is everyone else doing with markets, IRA's, mutual funds, etc, etc?

I had to pay my tuition for next term today.  :(

Tonight I'm supposed to go to Broncos to see Velvet Lovebox, I think.  My friends are celebrating their wedding anniversary there tonight and got a babysitter for the kiddo.  I'm only going for a couple of hours max, cause I gots to work in the morning. 

I'm so sleepy today and I got a decent amount of sleep.  I almost fell asleep in my accounting class this morning.  Yikes.


Oh, as far as my 401k, I haven't done anything.  I have many many years to go before retirement and it'll eventually go back up.  One of my uncles had retired early, but ended up losing around half a million this last year and may have to go back to work (plus, they had the bills to cover my aunt's kidney tumor surgery, tests, etc.).

Dreary day here...cloudy, windy, intermintant precipitation...really blah.

Was gonna run to the store, but really just need a couple things, so Mr Flame is going to stop on his way home from work.

Nothing exciting planned today...having a veggie lasagna and a salad for dinner tonight.

My day was going well, until my nasty old lady co-worker decided to make a phone call to a friend.  She's like half deaf in the first place and I can hear everything even with my radio on.  Then she decides to discuss her sex life.  :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

I couldn't get out of my office fast enough.  It's burned into my brain.  I need to drink a lot to try and forget.

I'm hoping vodka will do it.  I'll come into work with a hangover tomorrow if I have to.

Well, I left my office and walked right into my boss' and told her.  I said I don't want to hear that from anyone that works here.  I'm sorry it's disgusting and unprofessional.  I'd rather hear my mom talking about sex with her boyfriend than this lady. 

OMG!  And apparently that song "Buttercup" is her and her boyfriend's "song" or something.  Anywho, so again she's ****ing deaf and is blasting that song you can hear it all over the office.  Well, the first time I was like "um, that's okay I like this song."  Then she played it again and I was like "really??"  I was gonna walk over there and tell her to turn it down if it had started a third time, but thankfully it didn't.

I had to renew my passport a few years ago.  There wasn't a line so it wasn't so bad.

Went to a lunch thing today at the office with accountants explaining the tax stuff in the stimulus  bill...they had read 2/3 of it, so far.

Didn't sound as good in practice as the media is touting it. There are several things though, for people who don't itemize, that they will now be able to deduct if they qualify.

Can't see where it's going to put actual cash paper money in my pocket....more so that I won't have to pay it out.

Home from work.  I got a RAISE... had an evaluation today, and I increased my points (evaluations are based on a points system using various characteristics to determine an employee's worth) by about 20, putting me in the "role model" category.   :cheersmate: :tongue:  I'm also getting very large paychecks for the next two pay periods (working 35+ hours for each), plus a possible inventory bonus. YAY!  

I rewarded myself tonight with some Cadbury creme eggs.  Don't expect me to share.  :p

Did y'all get hammered again yesterday with the storms?

They went right around us....both counties south of us got hit, skirted up about 8 miles west of us and went across Oak Ridge and north part of the county.

Snow is forecast for the weekend.

No wonder everyone is sick around here.

We did.  It was scattered, but the bottom dropped out about 11:30.  That lasted for about 30-45 minutes and everything cleared up and started turning cold.

We got a light hit in the morning....but the big stuff didn't hit until about 2 and lasted until 4. Tornadoes touching down all over the place. I was just glad we didn't have any more trees fall down around the house.

You're one of those mayo french-fry eaters, eh?  I've tried it -- it's not bad but I prefer ketchup.  I just remembered I bought steak fries so I could put seasoning salt on them.  Bojangles sells the best fast food fries I've had (better than Wendys).  They put Lawry's on them... they're good enough to eat without ketchup.

Yup. I'm not much of a fan of ketchup. About the only thing I can eat it on is meatloaf, and then only mixed with a lot of hot sauce.

I love some steak fries though. There was this little place in East Texas I used to go to that had the best. Half the time I'd go, I just order a basket of them... Damn, now I'm hungry.
