FML

So...I normally have someone to talk to in my office because we share it. She is my boss's fiance and also works here & today my boss wasn't going to be in the office, so neither was she. I make phone calls all day and 80% of the time get an answering machine. When my partner in crime is here I pass the time by talking to her while I am listening to the endless ringing. Well, since she was not here today I decided to read and moderate FMLs on fmylife.com while listening to the rings. If a homeowner picks up, I just revert my attention to the job at hand. Well, I went downstairs to smoke a cigarette and when I came back up, my boss had decided to stop in the office to talk to me about what was going on today. He was sitting in my seat staring at the computer screen. Yeah...he didn't say anything about it, but I'm sure in our meeting tomorrow he will. Now he will think all I was doing was playing around while not working. When actually, I was stopping myself from dying of boredom while doing my job. Great....My fiance, Jess, asked why I couldn't do something more productive while making phone calls & while that is a great thought, if I were to be focusing on something important I would not be able to revert my focus back to the phone call should someone pick up. So I try to cure my boredom with something not so important that I don't have to focus on. Great idea...it worked out wonderfully.
Now, for those of you who are asking yourselves "what is fmylife.com?" you should really check it out! It's very funny. For instance, if I were to write one today it would sound something like,

Today, my boss was out of the office. I decided to read FMLs while making my phone calls for my job. I went downstairs for a minute & when I came back up my boss had unexpectantly stopped by to have a meeting with me and was sitting in my chair staring my computer screen. FML.

I'll keep you informed on how our meeting tomorrow goes....

LoVe!

Will Power

Just wanted to let ya'll know that the next Real World is in Cancun, so Jess & I WERE on the bus with them!! Too bad their crew was a bunch of meanies!! I would say I'm going to boycott that season because of their crappiness, but let's face it, I'm gonna watch it!! No will power...

Speaking of will power, I gave up soda pop and alcohol for lent. I'm doing quite well & haven't slipped yet! Jess said I was the only person he knows that hasn't slipped on what they gave up for lent. It made me feel pretty good! I told him it was easier because if God can put His one and only Son onthe cross to die for my sins, then surely I can give up something I like for 40 days!! The whole lent experience has definitely helped me stay closer with God and really appreciate what He did and is always doing for me in my life and for others as well. The only thing that sucks is that I'm helping my sister move this weekend and I could get as much free beer as I want!! Oh well, I'll just tell her she owes me a night out on the town!!

Oh yeah, I am currently waiting for "the board" of The Fort to approve my reserving it for my wedding. I don't know how long that'll take. Hopefully not too long! It's even more stressful when you are waiting on other people and can't do anything about it!!

That's about it for my AMAZING ADVENTURES at this time, but stay tuned!

LoVe!

My AmAzInG LiFe!

Hello!! I am bored!!! So, I thought I'd catch up on my blog writing!! Anyways....

Work is great, in case anyone was wondering...all of this rain has done wonders for us!! It's awesome! Except we have a few people in our office that think this place cannot run without them & they are Take, Take, Taking with no extra give. The problem I have with this is that 2 of them are my only 2 employees I have to manage making my job more difficult as the days go on. What do you do when someone wants more and more given to them for only doing the same job they've been doing for 1-2 years? I mean, they get bonuses..I don't get it. I keep saying no & their productivity keeps going down when I say no because they're all pissed off at me for saying no & then the VERY next day they ask me for something else! It's crazy. I'd like to fire them all & get new more grateful people if I could find the right people in a period of 1 day! They should be graterful to have a job in this economy!! STOP ASKING FOR STUFF! UGGGGHH!!!

And, home life is wonderful! Jess has 4 days off this week, so we are getting some more evenings together which is AWESOME! Our friend who was staying at our house for the past 2 months is no longer staying there thanks to my deadline and Jess sticking to it, so that's cool too! Some quality "just our family" time is just what Jess, Jack & I needed! Last week Jack learned how to climb out of his crib without getting hurt & 3 days ago he learned how to open doors! So...of course..last night we were watching Star Wars before he went to bed. Then he started acting up so we put him to bed. I went outside & Jess laid (<--? sorry, sarah!) on the couch. I come in to find out that Jack had climbed out of his crib, opened the door, and then slyly positioned himself into the corner of our dark hallway Jess only caught him because he started giggling when Chewbacca came on the screen! I have a crazy kid! It's great! But also kind of scary to think he could get out of bed & his room when we're sleeping across the house. Hopefully we can teach him to come directly to our room if he gets up! Time for a toddler bed! Also, the door handle things for kids...yeah, my parents have those & Jack STILL opens the doors! So, we're screwed!

Only 4 months until our wedding! Planning is going well although people in that industry really SUCK at calling people back! Which I don't understand! Oh well...I'm freaking out a little because I feel not on schedule, but I actually think I am. I'm also freaking out about the money, but we'll be alright.

Well, gotta go! Have a wonderful day & stay tuned for more AMAZING ADVENTURES!!

LoVe!!!
