Okay, actually I know I am. Or depending on when you read this I already have. Today is Friday, I like Fridays, except when they drag on and on and on and on........and on....
So I went to Panda Express for lunch today, I love there Chow Mein and Veggie Spring Rolls.... So yummy... Anyways, so after I ate my lunch I went for my fortune cookie. I cracked that baby open and read the fortune. I almost let out an insane little giggle when I read it.
If you have read my previous posts you know that I recently submitted my resume for a job with the company my husband works for, so yeah, I couldn't help but think it was funny, in a slightly unhinged way. I am still on the fence.
So this afternoon dragged by so I went to my fail safe and worked on this continuous line drawing I have been working on since the last week of April (I only spend like a minute or two a day on it).It will cover the entire piece of paper eventually. After taking this picture I decided to take some pictures of the stuff on my desk.... Like the Swingline stapler (I wish it was red). It would be so hot... I wonder if I could paint it red.... Then I was like, "Oooo, I bet people want to see my cool silver metal pen with the paper clips twisted around it." So I took a picture of that too! And then I decided not to leave out my fan and paper clips... I am so weird I know, but what can I say, I am artistic. (That explains it right?) Then I thought, "How cool would it look if I took 'Negative' pictures of this stuff?" I know I neglected the Swingline... But to make up for it I have an AWESOME picture. I swear the rubber bands landed exactly as they appear in the bowl, and as I looked into my awesome blue bowl I saw a shocked face staring back at me. I still start laughing when I look at that picture... He (I say he because he doesn't have any eyelashes) just looks so shocked...
I need to take a picture of my hair (since I actually flat-ironed it this morning), I told Kristina I would show her how it looks now, and I have had it done for like two or three weeks.... **Going to take picture** Okay, now I will change my display picture.
Peace Out To All My Homies!!
(I hope you got a good laugh out of the pictures, especially the rubber band man!)
My brother has always held the firm belief that the squirrels are carnivorous and out to eat the flesh of humans. I, however, have a different view of it. I think the squirrels are super secrete covert ninja assassins. I mean seriously, they look all cute and innocent but have you ever noticed how quick and agile they are. They can scale fences and telephone poles like crazy monkeys, and they have that hard stony glint in their eyes. Last night, for example, we were coming back from our walk and I noticed a squirrel sitting perfectly still on a fence post in the alleyway, remind you of anything?? It reminds me of ninja training where you have to stand still while balancing on a vertical log. Kinda Karate Kid-esque. So after we got past the squirrel, I glanced over my shoulder to see if it had moved, and it had. Now it was creepishly peering over the fence at us, kind of like Wilson from Home Improvement. THEN, this morning, while driving to work they were everywhere. I think they are out to get me. They were running all over the freaking road. Hell, at the end of 19th street there were three of them criss-crossing back and forth across the road, I thought for sure I'd accidently hit one. It was crazy, but seriously, think about it, you know they're ninjas. Peace Out To All My Homies!!
I did it, I submitted my resume and cover letter for this other job. Time will tell.
I am exhausted, today seemed like a crazy long ass day, plus the stress of this decision drained me. I am still going for a walk in a bit though (we try to go for a walk everyday/evening).
On a lighter note, and no I don't know how this came about in our conversation but it did. Collin and I were in the kitchen, he was feeding the cat and I was making dinner. He mentioned that Spaz had eaten almost all of her breakfast, and we began to comment on her becoming a little piggy. Collin then went on to say, "Yeah, Spaz we are actually trying to fatten you up"
Then I replied (in an uber hick accent), "Yep we're gonna serve ya up fer Christmas dinner."
Collin went on to say, "Yeah, fuck the Christmas ham."
And me, being a smart ass, finished it off with, "Well, some farmers do."
Being complete and total dorks, this was crazy insane hilarious to me and my husband. We have a disturbing sense of humor.
Well I am going to go change my clothes and go for a walk. Hope I made someone laugh today, that'll make it worth typing.
Okay, so I told my boss/friend that I am planning on submitting my resume to Collin's company to try for a job up there. I really don't want to upset anyone but I HAD to tell her before I did it or I would never forgive myself. Now I just need to write up and ad for my replacement, in the off chance I get this job. I am telling myself I won't and I am hoping that if I don't the people I work with won't treat me any differently for having tried. I don't know, it's been stressing me out to the point that I have been having little anxiety attacks all morning. It's the whole the grass ain't always greener and blah blah blah. But if I got it, the financial freedom it would bring me and Collin would be amazing, not that we are stressing about money right now, but the Nissan may be on it's way out and we can't get a new car until our credit cards are paid off/down, and at this rate that would be YEARS (about three). So yeah, the pros greatly outweigh the cons, I think. And honestly, all I am doing is submitting my resume, there is no guarantee on this that I will even land an interview. I'll post more later tonight I think.... Peace Out To All My Homies
WELCOME! This is my first posting on here, and I am sure that anyone reading this is wondering, "What the hell does 'jerk my turkey stick' mean??" Well for starters, most of my posts' titles will have something to do with either something my husband or I said, or a conversation we had.
Now I bet you want the background on this title. Well, it came about when there was an incident in Salem where a Woodburn police officer was standing in his home's doorway, with his pants down, playing with himself. IN BROAD DAYLIGHT ON A FAMILY FILLED STREET. So obviously a neighbor called the cops, the dude was arrested for indecent exposure. When questioned by police as to what possessed him to be playing with himself in view of the public he said he was depressed.
I commented to Collin, "Okay, generally people's libido is all that high on the priority list when depressed."
Collin went on to say, "Yeah, no kidding, who jerks their turkey stick when they are depressed?"
At this point I was laughing so freakin hard I thought I was gonna pee my pants.
This is just a small example of the various... um... oddities that make up our conversations... Trust me, I have a whole slew of them saved up.
So anyways, on to real life. As mentioned over yonder in the about me section, I work at a collection agency. My title seems to constantly be changing but currently I think I am an Administrative Assistant/Bookkeeper. Lately I have been faced with a dilemma, I love the people I work with, and most of the time I love my job. But I have also been starting to think about the financial goals I have and want to achieve, and I don't know how to reach them at this job. If I got another job who's to say I would be happy, and I feel I would be rather hypocritical if I left for more money. I was always so upset when people left our office just to make more money, but at the same time I understand, especially if you want to be able to get a new(er) car because you never know how long one of your two cars is gonna last, or you want to get all your credit card debt paid. So what do I do? I don't want to hurt my work family, and I don't want to be outcasted or treated differently if I were to look elsewhere or apply elsewhere. I know that it happens though because I have seen it. Plus then there's the issue of replacing me, I have seen the applicants we tend to get, and I personally wouldn't hire any of them to replace me.
I can't help but be curious, but how would I tell my office manager/friend that I might be leaving? Collin emailed me a couple of job postings from the company he works for, and both of them would be right up my alley, and one starts out over $12.00 and hour, while the other one starts out over $15.00 an hour. And I know I have the experience needed for the jobs. PLUS Collin and I could commute together, I'd be making enough where we could afford health and dental insurance, and we could get a new car (cause we could afford a car payment) after paying off all of our credit cards. It would be so nice, but the people I work with now have become like a second family.... I don't want to lose the friendships I have built there, but I want Collin and I to be successful in our life so we can achieve our goals, and do all the awesome things we want to.... I need to think on this and redo my resume.
If you have read my previous posts you know that I recently submitted my resume for a job with the company my husband works for, so yeah, I couldn't help but think it was funny, in a slightly unhinged way. I am still on the fence.
It will cover the entire piece of paper eventually. After taking this picture I decided to take some pictures of the stuff on my desk.... Like the Swingline stapler (I wish it was red).

I know I neglected the Swingline... But to make up for it I have an AWESOME picture. I swear the rubber bands landed exactly as they appear in the bowl, and as I looked into my awesome blue bowl I saw a shocked face staring back at me.
I still start laughing when I look at that picture... He (I say he because he doesn't have any eyelashes) just looks so shocked...
