April 28 Thank God It's Friday (the movie, NOT!)I
can't seem to find my brain this morning. I've been doing mundane
work today, but I have to admit that I'm grateful because it's going to
be soon that my job description is going to change as I take on the
duties of the other clerk. Talk about 2 times the work for
no extra pay and yet the agency can't seem to understand why there
isn't any employee retention. Slacker made the statement today
that she wouldn't be surprised if other people from our site started
leaving also. Sounds to me like she's also thinking of
leaving. I keep praying that the boss, anal retentive
cheerleading tick, is going to avoid our place today. THAT would
be a blessing right there! I'm still job hunting though and I
haven't heard anything from any of the employers. Hubby got himself a new toy yesterday. I nearly fainted at the sticker price, but I knew he needed it and wanted it so what's a woman to do. He got a new John Deere riding lawn mower. It's going to be paying for itself for all the landscaping jobs he's got lined up so THAT'S good to know. He was like a kid who'd won the spelling bee. He couldn't help but grin ear to ear and couldn't wait to show it to me (yeah, like I care). I hadn't even been able to get out of the car and he was already tugging me to come see his toy. Ahhh.... this is going to be a relaxing weekend as I have a new book to read, S is for Silence which is Sue Grafton's latest. I also have a few movies to watch, the new Pride and Prejudice, Ice Harvest, and the Corpse Bride. Hubby's working all day Saturday so it will be calmer for me. I want to spread around how I'm feeling today so I ask you to visit www.joecartoon.com and click on one of the cartoons. The Greenfields are hilarious and remind me of some rednecks I know. Press and splode is one of my favorites, but if you don't like cartoon blood and gore then don't watch it. I happen to LOVE it!!! Have a great weekend and I'll be checking in from time to time. Take care!!!!! April 27 A book wins an Oscar. LOLI'm
still glad that I can escape into movies and books. That has been
a great release for me. I finished the 3rd book of Mary Kay
Andrews, Little Bitty Lies.
It was good, but Savannah Blues was my favorite, I think. I would
suggest it as a good vacation read as it has romance, mystery and
intrigue as well as a lot of laughs. I didn't really see myself
in this book, but it takes place in Atlanta, GA so that was
interesting. Things are about the same at work, but I deserve an Oscar for my performances!!! My boss, the anal retentive tick, was here all day yesterday and nearly killed me! Apparently, she makes the other staff here upset as well with her b.s. Glad to know it's not me! It seems that the new shift in responsibilities will be in effect as of the 15th of June. I keep praying I'll be out of here by then. Only time will tell. I'm looking forward to the weekend as I'll finally be able to rest and relax. I've cleared my schedule so I'll be able to clean house a little and do a few small odd jobs. It's getting to be time to clean the pool, but I don't think the weather is going to cooperate this time around so I'll do it next weekend. Take care!!!! April 26 Gimme that night fever, night fever...Just
when I thought things were as bad as they could get for me, I got to
hear from one of my oldest and dearest friends yesterday. She's
always been my sister even though we aren't related. She's had it
worse the last 8 months than I've had in years. My thoughts and
prayers are with her and hopefully, she will read this and know that
she's always my sister and on my mind daily. Hugs to you!!!! Now, for something completely different.... I had the most bizarre dream last night. I dreamt that I was back working for the State Patrol and things had changed dramatically. I was totally freaked in my dream at the changes and when I was able to awaken from this dream, I was so glad that I had a choice and this was one choice I didn't have to make. I didn't have to go back to my former job and put up with all of the chaos and b.s. I know, in some ways, that this dream was an indicator that my subconscious was worried about finding a job, but, in another way, it was telling me that I can put up with the b.s. here but not the backstabbing that has been going on. All jobs have their high and low points. I figure that I don't have to lower my standards and stoop to the level of my co-workers, but I'm an actress. Maybe not Oscar material, but I have acting experience. I can play this part to the hilt if I choose to and that's what I will do. I will ACT like this is the best job until I find something else. I WILL find something because I have blogland support and I KNOW I can do it. On the way to work, I was hurled back to my youth if only for 4 minutes. They were playing an old Bee Gee's song on the radio and I just fell for it again. It was awesome to hear such a blast from the past. Thanks for the love and support. You are all appreciated by me. Take care!!! April 25 The Lion in the DarknessThis
weekend was nice. Granny's party was good and the day off
yesterday was quite relaxing as I got to go to Lowes to get some plants
and flowers. It seems to me that my life is slowly beginning to fall apart. There are so many things I want to discuss with David, but I feel that if I were to talk to him about the bad things that are going on with my life, then he'll think the worst of me. I realize that this is not the case and it's only my insecurities allowing me to think like this, but I can't seem to help it. There are a lot of differences between me and my husband. David has lived in the same town all of his life. He's well-known and well-liked by (it seems like) everyone. He has a job that he loves and he's happy. Even after living in the same town for 14 years, I'm not well known (thank God), but I have very few friends. I have a job that I despise and I'm working on that by putting in for that job close to home. David asked me all weekend why I was so quiet and I couldn't tell him. Anyone who knows me says I have never met a stranger, and that's sometimes a curse. For me to be quiet, that's an oddity. I have been able to recognize that when I'm down and I feel trapped, I get really quiet. Maybe because I'm hoping to be able to hear the footsteps behind me of someone coming to stab me in the back or hurt me somehow. I feel that I have no direction and no prospects of direction. I want to do something that I can be proud of and I KNOW this is not the place to do this. This job has worn me down, and I feel like I've been shredded physically and mentally. I actually get nauseated knowing I have to come here and I get highly agitated and anxious. Almost like a lamb to the slaughter. I know I cannot do this job much longer. A person can only deal with drug addicts for so long and this is my breaking point. Having grown up (late teens) with a drug addict, I feel that I'm reliving my life and I can't move on from this. I appreciate all the prayers for this new job, but what I pray for most is sanity and serenity. I keep praying that I can continue this life track I'm on. I keep telling myself that it's okay for David to see me wounded and vulnerable and for him to know that I'm NOT perfect and that I have many flaws. I'm just not sure I can talk to him about this. I do know that he's happy that I'm trying to move closer to home and that's a comfort. I just keep praying that I'm not going to get swallowed up in this chaos and turmoil, and that eventually, my life will make a turn for the better. Take care! April 22 Southland!!!!The rodeo was fun, last night. I just love being around the horses. We went to Southland today and were gone from 10am until 4:30pm. My feet are dying!!!! I almost got a new dog there. Animal Rescue was adopting out dogs and they were going to let me have this housebroken, fixed, white lab mix for only 50 bucks!!! That's half the adoption fee. I so wanted this dog! He was so sweet and loved licking my hands. He jumped up on the fence and set his paws on my chest just like a hug. He didn't want me to go, and I didn't want to either. He got a good home though. David doesn't want a big dog and wants to get rid of the Brittany first. I told him he owes me a mini schnauzer. LOL I'm off to eat some dinner then relax for a while. Take care!!!! April 21 I feel like I'm in a dryerI
feel like I'm in a dryer. I'm spinning around and around and it's
just getting hotter and hotter. I've been applying for state jobs
this week and I found another one that's closer to home but even more
money. I just have to go take a simple test first and wait to get
on somewhere. The testing doesn't happen again until the 13th of
May, so I'll have to bide my time a little more here. I don't feel comfortable here anymore. The director isn't friendly like she used to be. The acts like I crapped in her Prada shoes or something. Slacker is still here. She's got a bug so far up her ass that she can't even speak to anyone anymore. Maybe it's just that the veil has been lifted and I can see clearly how people really are around here. I swear that's the best way to describe the change! I hope that the boss from hell won't be here today. She called this morning and had her usual "cheery" voice, but I could sense a difference even over the phone. It almost felt forced. Maybe my senses are off, but I haven't said a word to anyone about leaving and no one knows I'm looking. I'm keeping this as quiet as possible. David and I are working EMS tonight for the rodeo. (Hope it rains) Then tomorrow we have our town festival which is always a blast to go to. It's so huge!!! Sunday is Granny's 89th birthday party and then I'm taking Monday off for some R&R. I've got to find a time to clean house in there too. LOL Abbey had 5 puppies Wednesday. 2 didn't make it, but she has 2 boys and a girl. They are sooooooo cute!!! They may sell faster than Weenie's puppies so that's good. I'll keep ya posted, and I'll be checking in this weekend. Hugs to you all and take care!!!! April 20 How bad can this place be???I
spoke with David, last night, about the possible new job. He was
actually happy about it. We figured that not only would the extra
pay increase be good, but we would end up saving nearly 1200.00 on gas
alone not to mention upkeep on the car. It's just down the street
from where he works too, so that's also a plus. I overhauled my
resume, did a new cover letter and got my references together, except
for one thing. One of the people I'm using as a reference, I lost
her information so I had to wait to get it from her today. As
soon as she gets in to work I'm going to get her info and by 10am I'll
have my stuff sent. Whoo Hoo!!! I just keep hoping and
praying I get this job. I was excited about getting my current
job because I was desperate to get out of rotating shifts, working
holidays and weekends and uniforms! I feel that my current job
has run its course with me and allowed me to see that there are other
"normal" jobs. This agency has ripped me to shreds and then had
the nerve to say that it's "not personal", THEN take advantage of
me. Well, my services to this agency will be no more as soon as I
can find something else. I was told by an intern that she was
really discouraged about how this agency and this site is run.
She even mentioned that this was the WORST place she'd ever done an
internship. Wow! That says a whole lot about where I work.
If the employees are disgruntled about this agency, there is difficulty
in retention, and now outsiders are saying the same thing-doesn't sound
good does it? Take care!!!! April 19 A window has opened for meI'll
have to make this quick. I was all set to stay on with my current
job, but I happened upon another job that would be awesome for me to
get for several reasons. 1. It's not only closer to home, it's
about 10 minutes from my
house!!! 2. There's a little more money in the pay
check!!! So, let's see, more money, less wear and tear on the car
not to mention saving money on gas and 10 minute drive versus 50 minute
drive. Ummmm..... I'm going to say that this job MAY be my saving
grace. It also has to do more with community relations and
getting out and educating the public. I'm going to put in for
this job (it's also a STATE job so
I keep my benefits!) and get everything squared away TONIGHT!!!!! I'll
keep ya posted. David didn't freak as bad as I thought
he would when I told him that I'd already put in for another job. As
long as it's a state job, I don't think he's going to care TOO much
and with this revelation of a possible opening close to home with more
money, how can he refuse??? Take care! April 18 Ms. Bound and DeterminedSpring
has affected my brain! I've decided to do something a little
strange and different from what I'd intended. I'm going to take
the challenge they have presented me at work. Yes, I know that
sounds off, but hear me out. I've NEVER been one to walk away
from a challenge. I'm going to, if they'll let me, "assume the
position" after we move to the new buildings and do the job of 2
people. I'm also going to go back to school part-time so I can
work on some kind of degree. Since it's been 14 years since I was
in college, I'm planning to take some core courses at a local tech
college and then transfer to the University when I get my grades up and
finish with the core stuff. IF, and only IF, the job gets to be
too much of a burden and too much for one person, I am going to
transfer to another job somewhere else, but I'm determined to get
school finished first. Who knows! I may be able to skip some of
the core stuff and get past credit on things I've already had.
Either way, I'm going to make this work both for school and at this
agency. Come Hell or high water, I'm going to do this!!!!
Hugs to you all! Take care! April 17 Along with Spring comes a new look at lifeI
hope everyone had a great Easter. We spent ours at home after we
went to church. The Easter bunny was conservative and kind.
For the last few days, I've been feeling very strange. Both lonely, confused and very sad. I talked to David about this last night but he didn't seem to understand. I DO know why I'm feeling this way. I found out that they are going to make some serious changes at work. We are moving to a new set of buildings and they have decided to do away with one of the positions of admissions clerk. So, it's either me or the other girl who works with the residence. She doesn't want the job so I know it may come to me. However! The job of 2 clerks will now be done by 1, yes ONE, clerk. So it's double the work but the kicker is that it will only be for one person's pay. No raise, no pay increase whatsoever, just double the work. I'm very saddened and upset by this as I'm not sure that this is fair to anyone. SOOOOO, I've decided to look for another State job. David would have a fit if I didn't stay with the State, so I'm going to look for other State work. My feelings about it are, "I've done it before, I'll do it again" so I don't have any problem job hunting. There are a couple of jobs I'm already looking into, but I know that David is NOT going to be happy with me job hunting. I just need a moment of clarity to really tell me what to do with my life. I've also started looking into going back to school as well. I'm going to start by taking a few classes while working so that may help also. I just keep hoping that something will come my way soon. Take care! April 14 Prom datesI
was really down yesterday after a confrontation with a
supervisor. I'm getting a little tired of the pettiness of some
of these imbeciles!!! Anyway, I was listening to the radio and
they were discussing prom dates. I remember both of my proms
(Jr/Sr) My Jr. year I asked a guy to the prom but a few weeks
later he and his new "girlfriend" who was a classmate of mine, both
called me and asked if I would drop him as a date so he could go with
his new "girlfriend". Like an idiot, I did. I already had a
dress and the tickets, so my sister found me a date with one of her
friends. Actually, it was one of her many ex boyfriends.
Talk about miserable!!! He feigned sickness after a nice dinner
and then when he "felt better" we went to the prom. He wasn't
very nice and I found out that he only went with me because he wanted
to be with my sister since he still had strong feelings for her. My Senior Prom was awful. I had a theater performance that night so when that was over, I went to change clothes. I didn't have a date because all the boys I knew were going with other people. I went to the prom and stayed about 15 minutes and left. I ended up having to take home several underclassmen from the theater performance so it all sucked. What about your proms? Did you go? Have a good weekend! Hope the Easter bunny is good to you, take care!!! April 13 Everything sucks!!!Mentally
and emotionally, I feel completely whipped today. Everything
seems to suck today especially work. Talk to you guys
tomorrow. Take care! April 12 The New Living WillDavid's
already made it clear to me that he does NOT want life support for any
long period of time. He said he'd haunt the hell out of me if I
kept him alive like a vegetable. Guess I know what NOT to
do. LMAO!!! I just thought this was appropriate since my
brain is malfunctioning today. Boss is here under foot, so I'll
save a good blog for tomorrow. Take care and have a good laugh!!! Ever since the Terry Shavo debacle there has been an increase of living wills from 10,000 a year to 40,000. This is our form for the New Living Will. I think this is the best living will form that I've seen, it's easy to understand, and it makes perfect sense as a well. It will help cut the paper work. I, _________________________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means. Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended on it or lawyers/doctors interested in simply running up the bills. If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following: ______a Bloody Mary, ______a Beer, ______a Margarita ______a Scotch and soda ______a Martini ______a Vodka and Tonic ______a steak ______a lobster or crab legs ______the remote control ______chocolate ______sex ______a tee time it should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes, and call it a day. April 11 Life's MilestonesIn answer to your question, Julie, yes, it HAS been 17 years! Hard to believe isn’t it? I have pondered the question of time before and feel that it’s necessary to discuss it here. It is human nature to look for milestones to work towards. As infants and toddlers, there are a lot of firsts that we don’t remember, but our parents actually look forward to for us. As children, we look forward to the milestones of losing our first tooth, getting a year older, moving up a year in school, riding a bicycle with and then without training wheels, and more. It seems like when we’re children; we are constantly looking for and experiencing firsts and milestones. When we are 12, we look forward to the following year when we’ll finally be real teenagers. The teenage years are full of milestones including, first date, starting high school, and learner’s permits, turning 16, driver’s licenses, prom, graduation, becoming an adult at 18, starting college and being on our own. The next big milestones are turning 21 and college graduation, followed by first career job, and eventually getting married. Not as common now as it used to be, but following marriage was the milestone of having children, for some. When I hit the next milestone of 30, I cried all day because I was told that I was old. My next milestone was when I turned 35 (and I realized I was still young!!!) I also realized that I can now run for President (Whoo Hoo!!!!). What other milestones are left? Turning 40? 50? 60? Retirement? As children, we looked forward to holidays and birthdays as milestones, but now I’m at a loss… What other milestones are there? Oh, wait, menopause. That sounds like so much fun!!! Check me into the nuthouse when THAT starts to happen. It seems that the most milestones come when we are younger and can’t appreciate them for what they are, but when we’re older, there’s not as much to look forward to. What do you think? Take care! April 10 You've Got A Friend(Cue Carole King's "You've Got A Friend") Ever have one of those friendships that you just know is going to last? I don’t have a lot of close friends but I do have a few that I treasure. I have a friend that I’ve known for 26 years. We lost touch for over a decade, but we manage to lose touch and then find each other again. We email on the occasion but I haven’t seen her in over 2 decades. She lives in Upstate New York and I’m in the South so it’s not too convenient to visiting, but we do plan to one day. These days we just email when we feel like it. Mainly, I’ve been the one emailing first but that’s okay. Another one of my close friends has been there with me for 23 years. We even went to college together for a few years. We are from the same town and went to the same high school. We see each other once or twice a year if we can. We call and email occasionally, but she’s busy with her 3 children with twins under 2, so she doesn’t have much time for anything else after children and working. We still care about each other, but her life’s too hectic. My absolute closest and dearest friend (no lie, folks!) has been there for me and I for her for 17 years. We met in college and although we were COMPLETE opposites, we just clicked and we’ve been friends ever since. Sadly, we lost touch for 10 years, but managed to find each other again thanks to one of those online classmate reunion sites. It seemed like time had stood still when we first reconnected 6 years ago. We have been each other’s rock, support system, shoulder to cry on, and cheerleader. We’ve seen each other’s highest and lowest points but the load is made a little lighter knowing that we can share that load with each other. I know there is nothing she wouldn’t do for me and nothing I wouldn’t do for her. I just found out that she’s been reading my blog, trying to keep up with my insane mind. LOL It’s like a slot machine in there, isn’t it, Jules? So now you all know Julie. We haven’t seen each other in 15 years, but that’s okay, we stay in touch almost weekly via email, telephone and at Christmas I get the most awesome cards(!!) so our bond is definitely strong. Besides, I don’t think the states of Florida and Georgia are ready for us to get together again. LMAO!!!! Jules, this margarita is for you, and I’ll take the Pina Colada! Now, Jules, get back to Mr. I-Run-This-House-Not-You-And-My-Name-Is-Mr-Grumpers!!! Toast to you, Julie! To the rest of you, hugs and take care! April 09 The Road Less TraveledI know you are all waiting to see what happened last night and I'm here to tell ya that I decided (very late) not to go. Now, before you get all saddened and want to yell at me, I have to say this, the weather was for shit. It stormed like crazy, thunder, lightening, tornado watches, severe thunderstorm warnings, etc. That was a partial hinderance to my not going, but in truth, I decided that I have to let the past go. Allgood would not be the true Allgood that I'd known and loved all those years without the whole band. I would have liked to have gone, but it wouldn't have been the same. I'm not 21 anymore. Had circumstances been different, and the WHOLE band there, I would have gone but not for half. That's like going to see a baseball game and only one team shows up. What's the point?? I can't turn back time and if they decide to do more shows, I'll consider it, but last night just wasn't good timing. I will admit that I did my own little Allgood concert of my own. I got all 3 albums and played them one after the other, really really loud! I'm glad I'm in the middle of nowhere so no one could complain. Oh, believe me, I was so aware of when they were going to be on stage, when they would possibly do a set change, and when the show was over. I'm proud of myself, this morning. I woke up to a beautiful spring day and everything seemed right with the world. I have been able to feel reminiscent and enjoy it without bathing myself in it.
Going back in time can be filled with sorrow and self doubt. For me, going back 14 years would have been devastating to me as those were some of my lowest and trying years not to mention the depression that comes along with all of those memories. I think I'd rather be kinder to myself and be more positive. So, thanks to Allgood for the great memories of them, but in all honesty, I'd rather not go back there. Hugs to you all and I'll be back tomorrow. I have a special blog for close friends coming up next. (Ahem, Julie!) Take care!!!!!!!! April 07 My past has returned to the stageIt's
an ALLGOOD kinda day today. I'll have to give a bit of history in
order to clarify my state of mind. While I was in college (early
90's) I was working for the campus radio station. I was
introduced to a bunch of guys who would ultimately change my life (for
the better or worse depending on who you are). This group of guys
was a band called, Allgood Music Company. From the first time I
heard them, I was hooked. Allgood was my Meth. I couldn't
get enough and was always trying to find ways to hear them play
live. If anyone would have been an addict, it was me. Yes,
there are many other Allgood fans, but I feel that I was just a little
more hooked than the others. It was because of Allgood that I
moved to GA, specifically the town where they were based. My
parents knew I wanted to move and drop out of college and they weren't
happy. To make this move a reality, I just packed up and left
(although my mom wants to believe she kicked me out of the
house). Ironically, after moving, I only saw Allgood a handfull
of times and eventually became so poor that I had to stop going to the
shows. I was worse than the saying, "So poor I don't have a pot
to pee in or a window to throw it out of. " I was worse than
broke but managed to some how survive. Allgood taught me
survival. I may not have had much but I had a CD player and all
of my Allgood tapes and CD's. I would survive. I worked
some crappy jobs but I managed to keep moving up. In 1996,
Allgood split up. I was working as a Program Director for a local
radio station at that time. I was shocked, and saddened that
although I hadn't seen Allgood in a few years, I thought they would
always be around. Strangely enough, I met my husband a year
later and the year after that I was married. I even turned David
on to Allgood. He loved the Southern Rock-a-billy music and was
dejected when I told him that they'd split up. You have to
understand that I KNEW this band, better than most. It was weird
because they were like brothers to me and I respected them for their
sincerity and creativity. It wasn't just the music, it was the
individuals who made up the band who created that music. A fun
group of 5 guys who were like my brothers and made the best music I'd
ever heard and listened to for 5 years, and David would never know
them. Fast forward to yesterday. While cruising some websites, I fell across information for a concert. The concert is April 8th at one of my old haunts...the band is ALLGOOD!!! My reaction was "Holy Shit!" My heart was soaring & I couldn't believe my eyes! Yes, Allgood is back in town for a reunion concert that they have been planning since late last year. I don't know if this is a one of a kind of show or what, but still.... Sadly, I learned, today, that 2 of my closest friends from the band will not be back for this concert. They decided they didn't want to reunite. Another sad note is that I live over an hour from my old haunt, the show starts at 11pm! David, who has to work tomorrow and can't get off, doesn't want me driving there alone in bad weather, but doesn't care if I go. So I'm at a delimma, do I go to the show where only 3 members will be and try to regain some of my youth, alone and inept, or do I accept that I cannot go back and hope for another show down the road? Either way, it's still an ALLGOOD day and I know that wonders never cease. These are some pictures of a show I went to in Knoxville in 1991. I remember this show TOO well! Thanks to robscloset for the memories. Take care! April 06 HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPYTomorrow's going to be an ALLGOOD day....AND SO WILL SATURDAY!!!! More news coming up tomorrow! Dogs, slackers, TV, & moreI'm
getting antsy today, hoping that soon I can get my little Mini
Schnauzer puppy. I have schnauzers on my desktop wallpaper,
everywhere! David's so fussy and we have to sell the Brittany
first. We have lost all of Weenie's puppies (not sure what
happened to them) so that's a downer. The crazy slacker is back today. I keep wondering if it's me or does she need a serious attitude adjustment. Only way to describe her accurately is...bitch! Ghosthunters was okay. I, too, was bummed that they had inserted the "Mommy" evp and they never found anything! Heck if they're so busy, why not investigate lots of places and only use the ones where SOMETHING is caught! Supposedly, a wooden plank fell but that doesn't justify anything, and at the theater-basically NOTHING happened. What a waste of an hour. Next week sounds fairly interesting. Amazing Race was good. I hate to say it but I'm kinda sad that Dave and Lori got eliminated. They were so nerdy, and I have to cheer on the underdogs. Eric and Jeremy need to somehow mess up and come in last to get eliminated. Now THERE'S a classic example of slackers. Survivor is on tonight and then tomorrow is Ghost Night!!! Ghost Whisperer at 8pm (LOVE THIS SHOW!!!) and Most Haunted at 9 & 10. See? My life consists of work and TV. Well, what do you expect when you live in a small town in the boonies? I'm taking a break from the tanning bed the rest of this week. I stayed in for 9 minutes and burned my tushie, not to mention the REST of me. LOL I'll be back in there Saturday though. LOL My dream hunk was 18 miles from my house last weekend!!!! Yes, Matthew McConaughey was in the next town over filming "We are...Marshall". Had I known this last weekend, I would have been there on a MAN HUNT!!! No, I'm not a stalker, but I could have hung out there anyway since I used to work in that town. They are also filming a pilot in the same town called "October Road" a TV series with Tom Beringer and the girl that plays Donna on That 70's Show. We are hoping the show gets picked up and is a hit. I also just found out that my next door neighbor's 18 year old son is in the movie with Matthew McConaughey also. All the more reason to go see the movie!!!!! Hugs to ya! Take care! April 05 Good Cop, Bad "cop" and great TVI'm
back again. Okay, just go ahead and arrest me. Just lock me
up and throw away the key!!!! We had a poor girl here who felt
suicidal so I had to call 911 to request EMS. As is standard
protocol, officers are also dispatched to scenes of this nature to make
sure EMS is safe. Well, I was outside waiting with the girl for
the ambulance and this hunky officer shows up first. Take my
breath away!!!! My knees went weak even though my brain was
screaming "Dumbass, you're married!!!" So I had to force myself
to get out of the way and come back in the office. I knew I had
to get out of that situation anyway since my EMT mode kept switching on
and that's not part of my job description here in HELL!
Ahhh, thank God they still make good looking officers who aren't total
assholes! Way to go ACCPD!!!! The crazy slacker isn't here today. This is the one who still owes hundreds of dollars in long distance personal calls. She continues to be a slacker while playing critic to everyone else's work. This is one employee I would PAY to see quit or get fired. I'm just glad I get a vacation from her insanity today. Amazing Race and Ghosthunters are on TV tonight and I'm so stoked! Ghosthunters is done by TAPS and I have a link to their site on this page. The awesome group I'm with, Ghosthounds, is actually an affiliate of TAPS, and our founder is also going to be on TV with a new show coming on Court TV called Haunting Evidence. I'll discuss this when it gets closer to air-date. Anyway, tonight is Amazing Race at 8pm and I think I'm rooting for the hippies. Then at 9pm on Sci-Fi it's Ghosthunters. I hope tonight's is a good one. BTW, someone needs to smack Brian from TAPS. Take care! Yummy yummy!!! The Program Manager just came back from lunch with a treat for me. Baskin Robbins Pralines and Cream!!!! My absolute fave ice cream ever!!!!! Ahhhhh, off to go enjoy it. C-ya! |
