Buzzkill

So I was having a pretty decent day today until I spoke with my father. I mean... I leave for Florida on Tuesday, it is New Year's weekend, today was my last day at Sitel, and fans were finally installed in the apartment (better late than never I guess). So all and all a pretty decent day.
I had called Dad's gf to see how he was feeling and was planning on taking PrincessNic over to see him tonight. Then I get a call from him and he's pissed off as usual (complains about the house and the car). All he ever does is bitch to me. Can he really get that mad if his friend is an idiot and has been "fixing" the car for the last 6 months? I wish he would have just let me take it to the mechanic when it first broke. I had some extra money back then!
I wish I knew what to do because all I want to do is say, "have a nice life!"

Thought of the Day
I hope the grass is greener on the other side.

Happy Boxing Day

Happy super-obscure-English-holiday... day

Had to go back to work today. But not before I went to another interview. It was another staffing agency. (blah)

I realized the other day that my life was not living up to its namesake. There just hasn't been enough drama lately. But fret not... Babymama and I threw down real nice last night. We had decided to meet at 8:00 so that I could give PrincessNic back to her. But I couldn't get ahold of her to see where she wanted to meet. Then I get a text message asking if I could just keep her. Don't get me wrong I love spending time with my daughter but nothing pisses me more than making a plan and scraping it on a whim.

So after some yelling and... more yelling Babymama let me know that I should have just assumed that she would have been later than 8:00. So basically, I've been notified that even if Babymama tells me a time or we make a plan I should know that it is stupid of me to even think that we'll stick to that.

Merry Christmas

What a whirlwind of a week. Christmas day hasn't even arrived yet but I'm mostly done. How ironic, huh? No one seems to have the patience to actually celebrate holidays on the actual holiday. Oh well...

Exchanged gifts with BestFriend last night. He is the best on Christmas! GreenHoodie took a priceless picture of him literally gasping at the sight of his popcorn popper. He got me a Real Madrid jersey. It is sweet!

Tomorrow, GreenHoodie is coming over in the morning to exchange gifts. I have to got see my father up at the hospital some time in the afternoon. And sometime I am going to go meet GreenHoodie's father.

That's how I roll.

Time In

It has been a while since I've written. I'm sorry. What a bad drama queen!
So two weeks ago I started at Sitel. It sucks the life out of me. This place is so ghetto it is unbelievable. Mother has been here all week. I haven't been able to spend much time with her since I've been working all week. We had our Christmas last night. It was pretty fun. PrincessNic got a vacuum, clothes, some toys, dvds, and a digital camera. Yes, a camera! I don't even have a digital camera(Not that I would use one, but still...)! Mother leaves tomorrow morning.

The Trinity

I am very proud of BestFriend. He has been getting some good minutes in the game.
GreenHoodie and I did the parental thing and met the girl that is courting our little boy. We even got a hand shake (it was firm).

Guess the Bra: 30 year old, Skirt, or Leggs

BestFriend and I accompanied GreenHoodie to the Jew party tonight. It was fun. Good Kosher fun. Miss-I-Request-to-Remain-Nameless won a facial (Cue BestFriend's joke) she traded it for a blue hoodie.

Thought of the Day

When at the Fox and the Hound don't order a drink and expect to get it any time soon.

The Gift

Babymama called me yesterday to let me know that there was one thing I could mark off of PrincessNic's wish list. A Pony. A freakin' pony!!! Apparently she rode it around for about 4 hours yesterday.

The closest thing to a pony I have

Game Day

BestFriend and I went to see the Huskers beat up on Colorado today. We had pretty good seats. We sat behind some guys that were really into the game. It made it really fun!! We saw the offense sign from the Man Law commercial.

Most Important Game of the Week!!!!

The View

Give some love to the offense

Thank you. Thank you very much...

I got the call from MSI today. They decided to offer the job to someone else. So I am going to call First Comp tomorrow and let them know that I would like to become a claims adjustor!!!

I'm pretty excited. I hope that I enjoy my new job! I need to get myself back on track here quick. There is not much time before Christmas.

Thought of the Day
I'm bored.

First Offer

Exactly two weeks into my vacation I have been offered a job. I had my second interview at First Comp today. They would like me to be their new claims adjustor. I would like to thank Inateck and my manager Jen for canning my sweet ass. Looks like I will be getting a $6,000 raise and full benefits. I am going to wait until I hear back from MSI.

Thought of the Day
Yes, someday...

Second Round Interview

I have my second interview at MSI today at 4:00. It is with the VP. I'm pretty nervous. This week has been tough. I got three interviews set up and I had two (three including today) but I haven't been able to get anymore set up. I've been "on vacation" for a week and a half. But it seems like forever.

I'm very excited about the interview today but I'm also afraid that I'm putting all my hopes this one job. I'd feel better if I had some more interviews set up. On Monday I'm going to go put some apps at the Mall to try to find something.

Wish me luck...

Interview Two

Went to interview number two today. It was very odd. I met with these two guys (neither of them HR guys or guys in the job I was interviewing for) and they had like 5 questions for me and that was about it. The interview lasted about 30 minutes. I don't really know what to make of it. Oh well.

I got invited back for a second interview at MSI. It is Wednesday. I am very excited. It seems like a great place to work.

More to come...

Thought of the Day
Everything will be ok.

Interview Numero Uno

I had my first interview today. It was at MSI. It seems like a great place to work. I think the interview went well. They told me they were bringing in 5 people (including me) and they would bring back the top two candidates next week for another interview. So I guess we shall see.

I have interviews on Monday and Tuesday as well.

More to come... hopefully good news.

Involuntary Vacation

Well today was a first day of vacation. I received a message after work on Monday letting me know that I did not need to go back to work today. It was a temp job so I always knew that there was a chance that I would not be there forever. However, the way I was let go was very disrespectful.

So I put out some resumes today and actually got a call back today. I'm pretty excited. The jobs I'm applying for are much closer to what I'd like to be doing.

Thought of the Day
Everything happens for a reason.

Beer + Free Darts

What a night. BestFriend and I have found the perfect little hole in CB. We decided to go there for the first time on Halloween. We were (literally) the only two people in the bar. We found the dart machine and (key the music) it had like 900 credits on it. BestFriend and I tore through about 200 of them that night.

So Thursday rolls around and we are up for some drinking (I know... when aren't we?) and we decide to go back. It is like no one ever plays this machine! We have played about $75 worth of darts for free this week!

What an amazing discovery! BestFriend now occupies 8 of the the Top 10 spots on the machine. I... occupy 2. But one of them is 3rd! So there!!!!

Happy Election Day

Here at Inatek they have been giving away incentives for doing OT. Some of them are pretty good. For instance, for everyone hour of OT we get an hour of paid time off. They also have drawings for Plasma TV's, gift cards, etc.

So this got me thinking...

I think the federal government should take on this incentive philosophy. If you vote, you get stuff. Beside dirty old white men who like to like to touch little boys.

I started with things like give always. TV's, cars, vacations, etc. But then I started to think big! Remember when you won something in grade school... pizza party! The district with the highest percentage of voters could get a pizza party! As an eight year old the promise of free pizza got me to sell all sorts of shit! I think the same could be applied on a larger scale.

Meat Loaf Cherry

Last night I experienced something for the first time... ever! BestFriend made Meat Loaf! I've never consumed a loaf of meat before. It was very good. People have been amazed that I've never had meat loaf before. They act like I was abused as a child. Well no more!!!!

So here's to you loaf of meat! For without you, families would starve to death if the only thing they had to eat was two pounds of ground beef!

Rock and a Hard Place

I'm confused. (I know, what else is new, right?) So Babymama got out of the hospital yesterday. (So we headed out to the Candlelight, fun times had by all.) I told Babymama that it was her weekend but if she needed help I'd give her a hand. She wanted to watch her today. I told her that she could take her to the daycare. That way she could get some rest during the day. She didn't. So I just got a call asking me to come and get her after work. I told her, "I wish you would have taken her to daycare today." She got all mad and defensive. Am I being an ass? This isn't the first time I've mentioned the fact that she should take her over there so she doesn't wear herself out right after getting out the hospital. I don't know what to do. It has been really hard the past 3 weeks juggling PrincessNic, moving, soccer, and work.

I've also been trying to get money from her for daycare-- but that is a whole other headache.

The girls have their last two games of the season this weekend. We should win them both. Of course! We'll see if we do though.

The Flash

I have been so busy lately. Babymama has been in the hospital for two weeks now. I'm really getting worn out. The bad part is that she doesn't look like she's getting out anytime soon. I do not envy single parents.

I'm leaning on everyone around me a lot more. I feel bad. I've never been the type to ask for help.

I got the internet working in the new place (still waiting on some pictures). BestFriend was so pleased. I told him to try not to get addicted to porn in the first week.

Home Sweet Home

BestFriend and I are well on our way to beginning our new life together. I've had PrincessNic since Babymama is sick again (or as BestFriend says, "When is she not sick?"). So I have been juggling her to daycare, my dad's, and trying to get as much stuff over in the hour or two I have before I have to get her to bed. I never knew how much shit I had in my house. It is not a big place but... damn!!! Moving is always fun though. Last night BestFriend helped me go through a bunch of the Princess's old clothes. Very nostalgic.

I hope to have some pictures up of the new place this weekend.
