Ya know how I said I’d update…
my pictures when I was on the computer that had them on it? Well, I lied. There are too many! It's an overwhelming task! :cry:
We won't even get to the sheer amount of space that these rare gems will take. Maybe I'll just add a few as I find favorites...I dunno how else to do it! Gah, I hate taking on an impossible task.
On other news, I am hanging the shelves in the office closet today so that they will be all beautiful and organized. Oh my how I love boxes of stuff. 
Still no desk, but I did find a pic of how I'd like my dining room to look. I think we can pull it off with the existing table and 4 chairs if we just purchase two nice fabric covered chairs for the end. Oh yeah and once I recover the existing chairs. LOL Our table is not as bulky as that one, but I think we can "make do" with it. It IS an antique. *ROLLS EYES* We haven't got a china cabinet, but I have a nice vintage buffet that we purchased at a used furniture store. :D I would like to strip it and stain it dark and replace the glass in the upper cabinet, but other than that, it's a fine, stury piece of furniture that I quite like. Plenty of storage...although I do need to weed through that and get rid of some things.
Not much else to report. (I can hear the groans from the audience...YOU PIPE DOWN) LOL Looked at my site stats today....very strange, indeed.

Ahhh..
it is such a lovely night here. I can hear the trees rustle when the wind blows. I can feel a cool breeze sneaking in my open window. The cats are watching their Mewvie. The dogs are napping on the office floor. Doug is at his Native Sons of the Golden West meeting doing his secret handshake wearing his furry vest and speaking pig latin (or WHATEVER they do there.)
*le sigh* These nights make me love my native state of California. Do not get me wrong, there is nothing more in the world that I want than to move back to the Bluegrass state. Yes, I am one of the rare breeds living in California known as a Californius Nativus. I was born in Long Beach, waaaay down there in SoCal. While they might have better weather, we do have some nice things here in the Bay area. But nothing compares to those gentle, rolling hills of Kentucky!
In Kentucky, they have thunder! In Kentucky, they have fireflies. In Kentucky, you can see so many more stars when you look up in the sky at night. It's also just a slower-paced lifestyle there. One that I happen to love and that I hope to experience again. They value family and friends there more. Here in California, most everyone stays to themselves. Do you know that I have never met my neighbors? I have lived here in this house for over 4 years and I have no idea what my neighbors even sound like when they speak? It isn't that we are anti-social. We very much like to entertain. But this isn't "the neighborhood" for that. I dunno. Maybe it's 'cause we haven't got children. I really don't know what it is. It seems as though everyone has their own life and to hell with the other guy! *le sigh*
In Kentucky, it isn't like that. It isn't anything like that.
Why is it so hard to find a good desk???
I have searched high. I have searched low. ALL I WANT is a DAMN U-shaped desk with NO hutch with space for the desktop computer and a person to be able to use the laptop and for us BOTH to have desk space. I sincerely think it's a conspiracy. EVIL.
If I don't find something this week or next weekend, I am going to build one. LOL Okay, maybe not...but sheesh, I hate looking for something I can't find. :(
Soft -n- Squooshy!!
Apparently someone tracked down the robe that Janelle wore on Big Brother 6! Might have to talk hubby into buying me one. :D
Soft Squooshy Robe
What to do? What to do?
Okay, it's no big secret that I am not happy in my current position at work. I am sick to death of being treated like a dumping ground for everything that no one else wants to do or thinks they are too "good" to do. I seriously am. Just today, PersonA that I work with and have been social with completely lost my trust. I was doing 2 URGENT projects for my manager and apparently she had emailed me something that she thought I should drop what I was doing for the MANAGER and rush to her aid.
So, okay, lemme back up. Earlier in the day another person and I were chatting about how it was "earthquake weather" outside. We totally agreed on this and prepared ourselves mentally for "the big one." 
Anyway, this person had emailed me (mind you, she is no more that 20 feet away) to see if I had anything on a file from May. During this time, I had not checked my email as I was busy with the two urgent projects mentioned earlier. So, fast forward to when I'm checking my email...and I said to another co-worker, "Remember what we talked about earlier with the earthquake weather? Well in my news, it says they had a little swarm of earthquakes in Bakersfield!" Apparently PersonA overheard us (being less than 20 feet away and all) and MEANT to IM another co-worker sitting 10 feet away from her, "I sent JLo an email and hour and a half ago about a file and she is reading the news and hasn't got back to me!" :o I IMmed back, "Apparently, you IMmed the wrong person." She IMmed back, "Oh, it was a test to see how you would react." WTF? She wasn't testing me. She was being bitchy about me behind my back...or so she thought.
I did NOT let her know that IN FACT, my email was querying the file information as I read the REST OF MY E-MAIL WHICH INCLUDES NEWS UPDATES that are emailed to me. What a cow. I certainly plan on bringing this up to my manager when I'm back in on Monday. It certainly isn't PersonA's job to monitor what I'm doing on the damned computer or at my desk. I emailed her that the information was no longer available to me and that it was practice at that time for the coworkers to follow up with their customers for that information after I finished my part. She emails back for me to contact the customer. Fine. I did so. Gah. Whatever, I'm not into playing stupid games. I'd rather get the job done rather than playing, "Who is more important."
She knows that I am one to keep "notes" on things that my coworkers do. She certainly raised the hackles of the WRONG Southern girl. She forgets that I don't necessarily need this job that there are others out there just like it and that my husband CAN support me very much unlike her. Monday morning I shall begin a new tab on my spreadsheet dedicated juuuust for her. Lucky gal.
