“You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban
HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLBY! – One of the guys at work. It’s it’s birthday today. I think I’ve seen him once this past year. Ah well. 😉 Just had to throw out the sentiment. 😀
After all that shoe shopping yesterday, I feel like hitting the mall again for some clothes. Horrible! I’m actually in a shopping mood. I’m never in a shopping mood. LOL!
The A’s and Giants play in about fifteen minutes. I wish they were on tv! They aren’t on tv, are they? 😛
“I See Your Face Before Me” by Frank Sinatra
Something BLUE, eh? 😉 I think I might miss the polyester blues and so here’s a layout with shades of blue. And the handsome fellow featured is WILLIAM GREGORY LEE, one of my most favorite fellows. I wanted to do something with the new headshots I got, so here they are. 😀
I ALMOST went ahead and did a Mulder layout, but I think I’ll save him for when the season starts. Or my birthday. Or after Hawaii. LOL! I want to have this layout up for at least a month. 😉
And let me take the time to thank ::celeste:: for the two most lovely layouts she did for Moonlit Jazz. I LOVED THEM! Everyone should go and visit her because her webdesign skills are awesome! 😀
I hope the layout looks all right for everyone. Any problems, let me know!
[edit]
Of course, for some reason I can’t FTP to this domain. It’s always freakin’ something!!!
By the time you read this, all will be fixed. I hope.
And while I’m at it…
BASEBALL
A little split squad action.
A’s 9, Cubs 8 – Rich Harden went 3 1/3 innings, allowing five earned runs. He gave up six hits, two walks and a home run. Ouch!
A’s 5, Rockies 3 – Eric Byrnes hit a 3-run homer in the 3rd. Groovay for him! 😀
MY SATURDAY AFTERNOON
I drove to Stoneridge Mall (in Pleasanton) for some lunch and shoe shopping with my friend the bride and her friend the maid of honor. (I’m the bridesmaid.) We had salads at Sweet River, then trudged through the mall in search of the perfect shoes for the upcoming wedding.
Our dresses are a Hawaiian print of blue and white (mostly blue), so we wanted something comfortable and white for the shoes. We ended up at Payless Shoe Source. They were having a fantastic sale (buy one, get the second one half off) at the store. We found two shoes that we liked and decided to get both! One for the ceremony and one for the reception. The shoes for the reception are nice and comfy. 😀 And just too cute!
I love putting up a winning score. 😉
COUNTDOWN TO FREEDOM
Just FIVE days more of the polyester blues.
It’s really starting to hit me now. I am going to leave this place. OHMYGOODNESS!!! I feel a strange panic. Why am I leaving? It’s time. But what will I do? Something better.
I am going to miss a lot about that place. I love the job I do. I love the challenge of it. I like the repetition. I don’t like the idiocy, but what can you do?
I am going to miss the people SO MUCH. I saw my most favorite guy tonight and asked him if he was going to miss me. He hadn’t heard, I guess, about me leaving and he kept asking WHY. In the end, he gave me the biggest hug. I felt sad! I’m going to miss him most. I need to tell him that.
And I will miss my dinner mates, Debbie and Vickie. I plan on keeping in touch with them though, so hopefully we are in each other’s lives just the same. I will miss Kristine. I took the Desk from her. She taught me well. We talk about Hollywood and baseball and I will miss those conversations while I’m pulling files. But I will definitely keep in touch with her too.
Next week is going to be difficult, I think. I can see myself storing up the sensation of being there. The files, the phones, the crappy computer, the staples, the post-its, the stale air in the office, the nasty smell in the halls.
This time next week, my locker will be empty…
I was trying to listen to my Yahoo music station and it FREAKED OUT and closed all my browser windows. GRRRRR!
Chavez happy to stick with A’s – And we’re happy he’s staying! Well, I’m happy. I don’t know about you all. 😉
Hudson to start opener – Groovay for Huddy! 😀 I wish I could say I’m going to be there (since I’ve gone to the last four opening nights)…
Schlegel: Chavez key to Plan A’s – a good article. I think, in terms of the big picture for the A’s, I can see what he’s talking about. 😉
Baseball season can go ahead and start now. Yeah.
TV STUFF
Survivor All Stars – I’m just about ready to scream at this show!!! First my dear Colby is voted off. Now Ethan?! Grrrrrrr!!!! I’m ready to just stop watching. Except I want to see when Jerri gets voted off. I hope she gets voted off in the ugliest of ways. I just don’t like her!
American Idol – I’m glad that the Leah girl got booted. I just didn’t like her. I thought it was funny that the song she performed was “You Keep Me Hanging On” and America didn’t keep her hanging on. Who should go next? Hmmm.
“Big Time” by Linda Eder
Our backyard was finally cleaned up yesterday. I think I want a real swimming pool out there, even though I do like the trees and stuff. But a real swimming pool would be groovay! 😀
COUNTDOWN TO FREEDOM
Seven more days of the smurfy blue.
I had my “exit” interview with the Lt. yesterday. It wasn’t that bad! We went through the “form” part of it, then chatted a bit about my take on work. He was understanding about my reasons for leaving. My last question was whether layoffs are going to really happen. He has a feeling and he said that if he were in our shoes, he would be looking for another job. He would rather have something lined up rather than just get cut off.
I hear ya!
I cleaned out some stuff in my desk. It’s amazing how much crap I’ve kept over the years! Ye gods! I could probably throw away half the stuff I’m thinking of keeping. If I have more time before I leave, I’ll have to go through it all again.
BASEBALL
I just felt like a Mulder photo moment
And woohoo! A’s and Chavez Agree to Terms on Contract
A’s being cautious, but pitcher says not to fear
I need my boy to be HEALTHY this year! He’s my guy, my baseball sweetie and I want him to have a good year! You hear me, Mulder? You don’t want me to hit up one of my reserves. 😉
Score for Wednesday: A’s 10, White Sox 3
WEBMISTRESS WOES
This subdomain isn’t working. Again. But I had to blog because of Mulder. 😛 And if you can read this, that means all is well again…
“Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence
SPORTY DREAMS
I had a WEIRD dream. I was at a hockey autograph session. LOL! The one guy I was chatting up was on the short side (still taller than me) and adorable! I have no idea who they were supposed to be. LOL! It was a fun dream though. I liked it. 😉
COUNTDOWN TO FREEDOM
Eight more days of polyester.
Tuesday at work was decent. Too much going on! 😛 But I finished in more than enough time.
I don’t really mind all the questions, but I’m getting a little weary of one person’s persistent question of “So who’s going to do your job when you leave?” Hullo, I DO NOT CARE who’s going to do my job when I leave. It’s really none of my business. If there are plans to have someone trained, the clock is tick tocking on that one. As it is, it would be impossible to train someone to be ready to do the job in a week and a half.
The USELESS union representative set up a meeting with the technicians on Friday, almost a week after we got the seniority letters. He’s probably just going to tell everyone that the department can do whatever they see fit. That’s always the answer from the union. They do CRAP to help us and they take money from all our paychecks in the process. BLAH!
