Hope

Well, it's official. I think I am losing my job. I cannot meet the unrealistic goals. I tried everything in my power to control the goals. I failed. For reasons I am hacked off at them I will write about later. Now I know why just about everyone is mad at them. I am waiting for them to fire me. I am not going to quit.
I had submitted a resume to Qwest the other day. I got an email back that my resume was accepted. I have been corresponding back and forth about a good day for them to call me. I have been wanting to work for some company that has something to do with my wide array of utilities. I look at Idaho Power and Intermountain Gas and I'm like, I want to work there. I am willing to take the pay cut.
I have been looking at a lot of different places I would love to work for. I really want Target, because I really really like them. I want to work at the library. It's nice a quiet. I think it would be a cozy job.
Working for the government would be interesting. Across the country people are not getting any benefits from them nor is there medical insurance. You have to pay for your own shoes to work in. I found that out the hard way. Who would have thought that D&B has a monopoly on rubber boots? They charge $85 for a pair of rubber boots. One of the pair I got for Paul fell apart.
Here is hoping that the new job will call me today. I really would like to work for Qwest. They seem to have more power over many things. Where I work right now, you can't see what the other hand is doing. I would know what the other hand is doing working on the other side. It would be a really cool job. I am knee deep into technology, why not?
Next month, I am hoping to have a new room mate. Otherwise, I am screwed. I over drafted once again and still had $200 left in my Chase account. I am getting sick of this. I am leaving them really soon. I quit using that account and am using Wells Fargo account. I keep maxing the credit card that will be going next.
The new guy is waiting until the 4th so he can pay rent. Supposedly Dan is helping me find a new room mate. That moron can take a flying leap and stay the hell off my property. I told Paul to block his number permanently. Another person called my on my birthday about the room. I tried calling her back a few times but got a super long answering machine. I have so many minutes on my phone people!!
I hope the new guy chooses to move in. He is pretty cool. He is a student at CWI and has a cute little dog. He works at the pet store over at Karcher Mall. No criminal record. Let's hope he isn't a flake like the previous ones.

Great Weekend!

My job is coming to an end soon. I wish some other job would just wisk me away. Anything, will be much easier. I could really care less about the pay cut. I would work minimum wage to get away from the hell that I am in.
I got off work the other night. I was feeling discouraged. My handle time was high and I didn't save a soul. I saw Rudy's truck out front. The boyfriend told me it was someone elses car. Hmm...
He claimed he was going to show me my one yellow tomato. Out on the patio sat Mom, Justin, and Rudy. Happy Birthday!! We had some cake and ice cream which was yummy. I got some neat movie decor and a cool bracelet. You know how I like beaded bling.
The day of my birthday started off a little slow. I got up early and exercised in my new shoes. Did some yard work. Packed stuff for camping. Gathered the cat and his stuff and stuck him in one of the bedrooms.
We sold Derek's entertainment system. That is what you get for being a thieving, lieing jerk. He left his stuff in my house for over a month and has not contacted me nor has he returned the key.
We finally left for a trip through Ketchum to Altaras Lake. After much wandering around the camp ground, we found a spot tucked away in the woods. It was cold and mosquito infested. The night went on and got colder. I was tired after driving for a few hours. After a couple of drinks and hot dogs, we went to sleep.
Jen! Jen! What?? Your snoring!!! Sorry!! I go back to sleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night. Whump! Whump! Whump! Outside of the tent. Is it a moose? We might get trampled! Psst! Paul! Whump! Whump! It my be a ranger on a horse to make us move. I didn't hear anyone or see a light from a flashlight. Paul! He is busy snoring. I step out of the tent. I couldn't see anything. I go back to sleep.
I wake up early. It was light out and I was an icicle. I got out of the tent. I wander around for a little bit. I start going back into the tent, something is staring at me. I look toward where my car was. There was a deer standing in front of my car. OMG!! I look at Paul who is still snoozing away. Paul! There's a deer! I reach for the tent where my camera is. She moves toward me.
Paul! Get up! There is a deer standing right there!! He starts to stir and the doe vanishes. He appears out of the tent and a little disappointed the deer was already gone. Breakfast is made on the campfire.
He starts talking about missing out on the guest. His back is toward the car. I spot a fawn maybe a couple of feet away from my car. I point at it and Paul turns around. A deer! Get the camera! Quickly and silently I get the video camera.
It moved to different locations around the camp. It pretty much hung out with us through the extent of the morning.
Then we go to Hailey for some coffee and to grab another ID for Paul. We check out Sun Valley. Sun Valley appears to be a blip on the map. Then we went to Stanley. Then through Lowman to Boise on the long scary road.

Lt. Dan

Dan is a douche bag. He went through a gruesome divorce and went back to his ex wife.
He communicates with Paul. He told him that he was moving out instead of me. He keeps asking Paul if he is getting mail. I am about ready to start having the cops watch the house.
I came home from work Thursday night. The rent sign I nailed to the tree was yanked off and put by my mail box. My mailbox was wide open so the lid would keep anyone from seeing the information on the room. That was uncalled for. According to Paul, there was one piece of mail when there is normally more.
Paul has not been responding to Dan. Dan was supposed to be talking to me with any transaction going on in my house. Not only is Dan fiddling with mail, he is trespassing, and vandalizing my property.
A ton of things are turning up missing. I had some undercarriage lights for sale. Those vanished. I don't know if it was Derek or if it was Dan. Paul is at fault for that one. I had the lights in my room. They annoyed him and he put them in a cupboard in the utility room. I am getting tired of it.
I am about ready to speak to the police about the activity going on. My house is not a freaking ghetto. There are too many scumbags that live in Nampa.
Good news, I had someone look at the room. Don't know if he will call back. There are a slew of places to rent in the area. Thinking of reducing the rent.
I have been granted 15 more days at my job and it is the end of the road. The only thing that saved me were the days that were taken away. In the mean time, I go on a job search. Never in my three years of working at my job have I asked to be on someone else's team. I need out of there.
I am very sorry for the delay on the payment on Rusty. Paul got a small paycheck and he owed me some money. Next pay day the car is being paid for. I had to encourage Paul to let mom what was going on.

Poor Poor Me

Looks like I am saving my tail at my job...so far. I don't think it will make up for the past three months that didn't go so well. It wouldn't be fair because I'm not the only one.
I'm going poor. After the fiasco with the felons, I still don't have extra rent coming from anyone. As a matter of fact, Dan shorted me on rent. He went on telling Paul instead of me about moving out. WTF. I own the house and Paul has been living in my home for free. Hopefully, come the 24th, he will give me some money.
I had to figure out what to do about my car payments. The car is what takes a huge bite out of the finances. I called them about deferring a payment and I got the biggest run around that I really really hate. The first banker told me that all I would have to do is call a number and that it wouldn't cost anything. She needs to lose her job. Seriously, and Wells Fargo doesn't seem to care that they have crappy people working for them.
The people I called was a collection agency and the first guy got snotty with me. Yeah, I would have to pay a fee but that wasn't the point. Look above, associate was a pathological liar. I cannot afford to pay for the car and I need it to go to work in Boise.
I called dad. He has spent so much on Athena and it all went down the crapper. She is still in jail. I realize she may have caused him financial disaster. I called him and asked him for a birthday present.
"Can you make a payment on my car this month?" There is a stressed groan on the other end. That kind of moan where someone wants to help but is going through the type of turmoil where their back is against the wall. "You don't have to if you can't. I am running out of money and idiot Dan shorted me." Dad could not. He calls back a little later asking if he could pay for half. Certainly, it would help.
So, the plan starts on what to do. No more playing with the money. Doing the festival and buying a crap load of fireworks did not help me. Need to find as many places as possible to say I am looking for a room mate. Need to transfer as much as possible from Chase credit card to American Express and close the account. Need to lower my car payments before it kills me.
I found that I over drafted my just a few dollars in my bank account with Chase. My plot to leave them has been put into play. They charged me $100 for an overdraft. I can only take so much from these people. My deposit saved my ass but only put my account at $200. By the time my car payment posts as well as my bills I will overdraft once more.
Javier at Wells Fargo has saved me today. My car payments went down. As well as I was set up with a checking and savings account. The accounts will ensure safety from overdrafts and gives me a discount. Would that work? Hell, yes, I am SICK of Chase. Set me up, dude.
I am a little poor, but I am happy someone at a bank has finally helped me.

I Love This Crap!?!?


Pop music. Brainless, white trash blondes. A huge majority of it anyway. I refuse to listen to the radio. If I would have it my way, satellite radio would be free and everyone would have access to it.
Satellite radio, normally where I am are the 80's, 90's, new age, and techno area. Or with my hippie buddies I'll be listening to old live concerts and unknown bands doing cover music of Bob Marley and Pink Floyd.
I download random music from Limewire. It hasn't been working for a little while. Don't know if I have to upgrade or if they are out of commission. I have not been to the bar in a while so I really don't know what is on the music scene. Can't find out anyway because the bars keep playing the same music every night.
Then I listen to the radio at random. Some stuff just trickles into my collection. I start hearing this dumb song called Poker Face. It's so bad it stays in your head. Then suddenly your off saying, "Pokerface, pokerface. Poka ka ka ka face." Okay, what the hey? Your stuck in my brain Lady Gaga. Even Just Dance is driving me nutty.
What kind of name is that? That name is kind of dumb. Lady Gaga. Ga ga ga ga ga. A do do do, a da da da. Then Rolling Stone magazine comes rolling into the mail box. Nude and surrounded by huge pink bubbles. I ignore the radio for a little while.
Then another song comes along. The song is a little messed up. Lovegame. "I want to take a ride on your disco stick." Sometimes I start chanting the line like Cornholio. I want to take a rrrride on your deesco stick. Then Paul started to sing it. Ride the disco stick...it sounds kind of like a personal problem. Kind of like the old Leasier Suit Larry game when you don't remember to give him a condom.
Sadly, I am hooked. I go through the music on the CD and I don't really find anything I dislike.

Ode To Michael

Sometimes when I have quiet time, I think about random things. I think of when I was little. I was a little kid in the 80's. I never listened to Madonna or Prince. I listened to Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, and Micheal Jackson.
I was a huge fan. I watched that Jackson 5 cartoon any time I got the chance to. As a kid I always thought about how cool it would be to hang out with Michael. I would be one of those who wouldn't blame kids for wanting to hang out with the guy. Then again what is weird is him sleeping in the same bed with children that are not his. Something had to have been going on, don't ya think?
In kindergarten, I was always painting. I painted pictures of me, E.T., and Michael Jackson. I was always drawing stick figures of me and Michael hanging out. There was a folder I drew on I think mom kept in the house somewhere. I don't know if she still has that.
It is funny to think that I somehow made the transition to being a Prince fan. I turned into someone drawing portraits, making mosaics, writing poetry about Prince.

Any books to spare?

Now, I am in the mood to collect books. I saw a James Patterson book that I really want to read called Swimsuit. It looks like a good read.
As much of a fan I am, I don't have any of his books. Why? I don't know. I'm like that. I love Madonna and I don't have all over her albums. Go figure.
Here is a list of James Patterson books that I like.
1. Along Came a Spider.
2. Kiss the Girls.
3. When the Wind Blows.
4. Roses Are Red
5. Hide and Seek
6. Cradle and All
7. The Lake House
I also love Hunter S. Thompson. I am really wanting the book The Curse of Lono. Normally it is super expensive and then I saw it for about 35 bones. I also am still collecting F. Scott Fitzgerald. I would like to have Jazz Age Stories, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and there was some play I think that was called the vegetable.
I want more Jennifer Lash books. I would really like to have On Pilgrimage.

Do I Get a Can Opener?

Or maybe the jaws of life. Parking is so close at work you need to keep the car in neutral to push it into a parking spot. It is a little unusual because there are not a lot of skinny people working at my job. Maybe it's a little encouragement from the inconsiderate ones to lose some weight?

303 280 8689

Hey, it's a telemarketer with a full mail box. This individual calls and hangs up. I ask for a supervisor, he hangs up and calls again just to hang up on me. I have my name on a do no call list. It means you do not call it.
If anyone can figure out where this number goes to, I want to know who it is. I am going to turn this jerk in.

Stayed In

I decided to be a hermit yesterday. Which may have been a bad idea. I wanted to stay inside. I played on the computer and slept.
Then I get a phone call from my boss. Which is out of the ordinary,boss never called me since day one. She called to tell me that the day trade did not go through as planned. I have a no call and no show. I was told to be rest assured, it was a misunderstanding. I was not scheduled for Monday. Groovy.
Paul was going to put the fan into one of the rooms. It got so hot in the house. I was wishing that I had accepted mom's swamp cooler. There is no air conditioning in the house. So far, I have two ceiling fans, two regular fans, and one air conditioner that is in my room.
Too many things to take care of and not enough money to do anything. I need a rail on my steps before winter. I need to turn my furnace into an air conditioner. Something needs to be put under the house to level it out. I have an outlet that is going to be replaced and I still have the cross wire issue in the utility room. Paul is working and I am certain I will be let go of soon. I am thinking of applying at Walmart again. I just want something with more interaction with people and closer to home.
I'm going to get out of the house for a little bit. I'm going stir crazy.

Happy Fourth!

Well, I can't go to sleep. It is one in the morning. I don't know how I am feeling about being around people right now.
It's been a fun couple of days. I bought my first bag of fireworks. It's kind of cool. I think my favorites are the popcorn ones, the Woo Woo, and this one that is kind of like a UFO.
Spent the day drinking Rock Star. Went to Mountain Home with dad. Hung out with my brother Justin. I picked up a ceiling fan from him.
Looked at illegal fireworks on the corner of Garrity. Smoked a big coffee infused stogie. Drank a beer called Bohemia. Let off a bunch of fireworks. The last one was kind of a dud.
Instead of saving it for the warranty, Paul decided to break out the torch and blow the damn thing up.
Any ways, very eventful day. Now, I'm going to try to get to sleep. I am full of anxiety. Some people think that just because they are men in the house they think that they do no speak to the owner of the house. It turns out Dan may be leaving. I don't know what to think. I just want to stay far far away from people Sunday.
I deserve it darn it. The days I had the day off and leaving events early were the days I had to go to work early. I need some quiet time alone.
