i've been busting my tushy to get 2007 data in to the ACC ~ welp ~ 4th quarter (cause all the others have been uploaded long ago) ~ and call my data person and say "yep! done, go ahead and DO it"

uploading is pretty instant so i went on our site and get......................a nice RED paragraph that says " all your logins have been disabled, your account is 85 days past due" !!! WHAT?? ummmm WHAT??

now, we're a HUGE medical corporation - HUGE - so i call our director (this stuff has to be in and logged by April 10 - they actually extended the date from March 31) ------he tells me, "oh yeh, that check has been sent" me: "how" he: "through the USPS"

good freaking GOSH, are ya dense???? now the manager is off for the next couple days, so it's my job to tell the MEDICAL director that our data might not be included in the national and international #'s cause the "check is in the mail" ~~~~ wanna be ME today???? PLEASE??

soooooooo not funny, but this uhh ~ bigwig? ~ has been kinda messing up lately so i'm not too distressed to 'tell' on him but COME ON!!!!!!!!!!

What Brenda Means

You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

What's" Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

soooooooo........the weekend went really fast! i can't believe that it's Monday morning and i'm supposed to go to work - YUCK!

more dishcloths ~ just a little "thank you" for some of my co-workers ~ have ordered some small soaps from Etsy :: SoapStore to go with them.

while i love the yellow flutterby ~ can you see it?? ~ it gave me heebie jeebies!! most cloths are only 45 rows or so,, i think this was 65! now i know it is only 20 more rows, but the rows are each different, it's not just ~border stitches then purl to end border stitches on the wrong side~ ~ i had to concentrate!

ha! but it is purty purty!

i figure i can spit out 10 or more cloths by Friday - shoot, only 7 more to go!! i could be already done! there are more cloths here, i just want them for myself!

patiently waiting for the little ball to roll out!"hey, where's that kid who plays with this thing?"

focusing?

yarn and books!


these are a retirement gift ~ see! a sweet book about raising alpacas.

2 days.........

of going in to work and i'm tired! (not only tired, my eye has started that twitching again!)

5 weeks with L B, L J, C D B ......... no tired ~ what does that say?

i can't wait for retired even tho the word implies that you are tired again

husbeast (hee!) is continuing his search for the perfect house/land/view for us and our future alpacas ~ and i have to say that i really really want a COW too. ~~negotiations are in progress! ~~oh, of course i know i'll win, it's just a game we play every now and then :)

can't find the camera to download pics........frogged the shrug, started the feb & march socks from Sockamania.........made most of the buttons on sidebar actually WORK when you click them!..........found Etsy :: BEKAHknits and purchased all three! they are going to be sooooo cute!

Happy Wednesday!!!!!

at a loss......

taking a breath!! but kinda bored :P

my lovely DIL is home ~ thrown right back into kids & work ~ but by the smile on her face and the 'happy' in her voice she is loving it!!!

i missed the morning rush today ~ i bet L J missed Mamere singing "Good Morning Starshine, the Earth Twinkles Above" !! to wake him up (ya think?) anyone remember the rest of the words to that song! (.......my love and me as weeee sing our early morning singing song,,,,, giddy glip gloopy nibby nabby newby la la la lo lo...........)

me, i got thrown back in to WORK also! taking Feb off means i have to work March (blah) and finish up 2007 data ~ but really it's ok ~ working March allows me the BONUS (monies our company gives each April) ~~ yippee! to extra money right??

hey....can ya get carrots instead of money??

anyone remember this game?? i have great memories of playing it with my sisters......we played this past weekend and i LOST every game (i swear the post is warped and and it doesn't sit right on the............ohhhhh forget it, i LOST!!)
