Job Meme

I wrote a meme to celebrate my new job. Please answer about your current job only. For more info about memes, go to this site:

http://thedailymeme.com/what-is-a-meme/

1. How did you get this job? J knew the person who was leaving, and they needed to fill her spot.

2. What is the most interesting thing about your job? I am learning a little bit about the law. When I get a chance, I like to take a peak at some of the cases. Man, people will sue others over the stupidest things!

3. What is the stupidest thing you have to do on the job? Stack the magazines in three perfect stacks on the coffee table

4. What is the most boring thing you do on the job? Stand at the water cooler and fill the water pitchers

5. What has been your klutziest moment on this job? Running into my bottom drawer when it is open. My right leg and foot are bruised from doing this over and over.

6. Do you use scissors on your job? Yes.

7. Do you travel for your job? If so, how many miles per week/month? No, but it would be nice to get out of the office once in awhile.

8. How much weight do you have to lift? No more than 20 lbs

9. Do you listen to music on the job? If so, what kind? Contemporary Christian with my boss's NPR in the background

10. What do your co-workers think of you? That I am a dumb blonde

11. Do you handle money on the job? Yes, checks only, please.

12. Are you the big boss on the job, or do you want to be? No. No. I have been a boss before. It does not suit my personality.

13. Do you shake hands on the job. Yes, and I use LOTS of hand sanitizer.

(If your answer is "yes" to the above question, be careful. It's swine flu time!)

Waking Up Is Hard To Do

Hey,We're Back!

It's good to be back! J and I haven't had a working computer in weeks, and I had to have a second ta ta surgey, which I am still recuperating from. Today is J's birthday! Happy birthday, my love! Now you are as old as I am!

We had to cancel her birthday party because I am not feeling well, and she has to work today and tomorrow because they are going to trial next week!

Man, there's so much to tell you guys, but I think today I will just relax and catch up on your blogs!

Ta Ta for now!

I will be back soon!

Last Night

Last night we went to a party for A and JD's birthdays. I took pictures, but my stupid flash didn't go off. There was tons of good food, margaritas, and games. First we played Dirty Minds. It was okay, but the game didn't last more than one round. Then we started to play Mad Gabs, which I love, but the game just never took off. So we sat around and just chatted. JD and I compared nipple scars. J and I got to hold Baby L for as long as we wanted to. Makes me want a baby again, but J doesn't want any. Then we got on the Wii and played skiing, hula hooping, and soccer head boppin (that was my favorite). I couldn't play the other games like bowling and golf because of my incision, but I was half asleep anyway. Today will be spent trying to finish that stupid kit that I have to return to the school this week and typing up tons of notes for my new job. I KNOW I CAN DO THIS JOB! I still have five full days to learn everything I can.

J just left for the grocery store. Then we are going to Barnes & Noble and to look for me a couple of jackets for work. Still pondering Twitter, but when is there time? Probably after I get the hang of my job. I imagine I will be coming in early, staying late, and maybe even doing to Saturday work for awhile until I get comfortable.

One good thing, though, I don't LOATHE Sundays anymore!

CCTJT

Note to cctjt: the problem with the old boss is that she is the owner of a school, and I was a teacher. School starts in one month, and she can't find a teacher to replace me, so she is pretty upset. I had not yet signed a new contract with her, so, technically, I didn't have to give her notice anyway. Montessori elementary teacher are difficult to find. I probably should have not written her that e-mail because I just burned a bridge, but it made me feel better to finally get some things off my chest that I had wanted to tell her for a long time. And it felt GOOD!

Surgery is Done

Me after surgery, sans makeup or hairbrush. Dr. says tumor looks benign. Feeling more myself today, since the medicine has worn off. although obsessing over my old boss. She is not pleased with me resigning and is sending me emails. I blocked her from my box after sending her a looooong response, which I stayed up writing until 3 a.m. I hope to get back to reading every blog real soon. Am still scanning them, so remember to keep those catchy titles and awesome pictures posted, so I will stop and give your blog a look.

Going to a bday party for JD, A, and L tonight. What fun!

Thank you all for your prayers. It feels so good to get that thing out of my body!!!!

Surgery Tomorrow

Please pray for my surgery tomorrow. This is my least favorite part. I wish they would fill it with Diet Coke. My friend JD is doing well afte her surgery. I wish mine was over.

Drowning

My first day. Don't know why it's sideways.


I am literally drowning in info. Started my job yesterday; ready to quit tonight. No, seriously, my brain is on total overload. I will not have much time to check blogs, only skim them, so if you want me to stop at yours you need to a) come up with a VERY catchy title of your post, b) post a really cool picture, or c) leave me a comment. If not, I am gonna fly right by your blog until I have time to come up for air. Do I think I can do this job? Yes. I have 2 weeks to try to learn everything. But right now I am feeling really stupid and defeated. Surgery is still scheduled for Friday. That also bums me because it is one day less that I will have to train.





I love ya, sweetheart!

Dinner Party

Last night J gave me a congratulations dinner. There were six of us. We went to Los Cucos, but the electricity was out, so we went went to Papasitos. Still having trouble positioning photos. Here is the delicious guacamole that they make at your table. In the photo, it is almost gone! Here a photo of me and J. I love this blue shirt on her! And here's a photo of what J and I got, the fajitas with colossal shrimp.

Had a great time shopping with my mom yesterday! I told her, "Mom, we haven't been shopping together since I was around 12 years old!" She seemed to have fun running back and forth to the dressing room. Everytime I would come out of a dressing room to show her an outfit, she would not be there. I would yell, "Mom!" She would be out on the showroom hunting for more things for me to try on.

I got three blouses, three pairs of pants, two pairs of shoes, two purses, pantyhose and knee-hi's and a watch. With the few dresses in my closet, I guess I am all set.

Our trip to Galveston today was cancelled, so J and I are going to go look at apartments!!! Woohoo! This is going to be one of my best Sundays ever, and those of you who have read me for awhile know how much I always loathe Sundays!

I Got the Job! I Got the Job! I Got the Job!

So I guess you have figured out by now that I got the job! I start Monday. 8:00 to 5:00. A long drive until we move in October. We are going to start looking at apartments after my surgery.

J is throwing a Job Congrats dinner for me tonight at Los Cucos. Everyone there is supposed to give me "Words of Wisdom" about working with attorneys. Ha ha!

Going to have lunch with my grandmother today and then shopping for work clothes with my mom. I haven't been shopping with my mom since I was a kid.

I will be in Galveston all day tomorrow at Schlitterbahn, so it may be a few days before I can get back to reading your blogs. Oh, I am really enjoying the Gay Christian Network!

To my honey:
I love you!

I know I said thermight be a celebration party but it has been cancelled. Hope to see you all at JDs party next week though!

Twitter Question

A lot of people have asked if I am on Twitter. I have gone to their website, but still have some questions that are not answered there. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT and answer some questions for me. Thank you!

1. Can I use Twitter on my cell phone via text messages? Using the internet on my cell phone is time consuming, so that is why I would rather text.

2. Since we pay Verizon to get unlimited text messages, if #1 is yes, does that mean it will be free to me?

3. If you have Twitter, and I decide to use it, please check back and send me your Twitter information. I will be making a decision as soon as I have answers to the above two questions. I don't want to Tweet on my computer. If I have to sit at my computer do tweet, I might as well just blog. Thanks.

JD

Just wanted you to meet some of my new friends!!!!

Wanted you to see a pic of JD since I talk about her so much. She is the one having the surgery like me. She has lost 80 plus lbs! Her husband is the one trying to help get me get a job at HISD. Her mom is the lady that bought the Malibu. Here is a photo with JD and her godson taken in May. I like JD because she is an adventurer. She will try ANYTHING once, including a lesbian bar! She is a bucket list type person, always up early in the morning (I THINK?), going somewhere, anywhere and she never shuts up, period. She likes to organize get togethers. One funny thing about her is that if she has half a dacquiri or half a glass of wine, she gets "drunk" and falls asleep. She missed an entire afternoon in Vegas because she drank one half of a dacquiri and had to go back to the hotel and sleep it off. LOL She thinks it may have something to do with gastric bypass surgery? JD has two dachshounds (a favorite breed of mine) and lives in my old neighborhood. She loves photography and took a lot of the photos of J and I that I have posted here on our blog. We are giving her a party for her 36th birthday next Saturday. So far there are 16 rsvps. I am very appreciative of JD because she has been a great friend to J and has been very supportive of our relationship. So, hey give her a shout out! Here is her blog addy: http://itslovelyuphere.blogspot.com/

Update

Still no news on the job. KEEP PRAYING! Hopefully, will find out today and get the wait over with. I am a wreck. If I get the job, I want to have a party Saturday night!

My surgery is scheduled for Friday, July 24th. JD is having hers Wednesday, July 22nd. Too bad we can't have a double ceremony. Tee hee! We could split the cost of the operating room, and the doc would simply have to turn around to complete the next person. Maybe we could even save by sharing an IV bag and pole; separate needles, of course. See, health care doesn't have to cost so much if you just plan it out in advance! We could call it "Share a Surgery". If patients share hospital rooms, why can't they share operating rooms? Seems logical to me. How about it JD?
