“Humble Me” by Norah Jones

More Burbank photos! These were taken by the Husband. 😉 Now he wants to get a bigger lens! Still, his photos turned out all right.

I hope bits of my interview make it onto the DVDs! 😀 I would DIE!

I have today off. Woohoo! For us, it’s Lincoln’s birthday. We also get Monday off for President’s Day. One of the very few perks of working at the jail.

A HORRIBLE DAY AT WORK

Why did so many freakin’ people go out to court on Wednesday?! It was crazy! I had to actually stay over a bit. I hate staying overtime! 😛

And then the gray shirts were pissing me off. GRRRRRR!

“You Never Remind Me” by Linda Eder

Trevor Guthrie of soulDecision turns 31 today. I still love soulDecision, even though it’s been YEARS since they’ve released anything. 😛

I met Trevor back in 2000 before the Christina Aguilera concert in Marysville. It was one of those chance encounters. A month later, he called me. I won a phone call from one of the guys and I was lucky to get Trevor. It was a cool conversation. I’m sure he doesn’t remember. LOL!

So a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Trevor! 😀

“The Very Thought of You” by Harry Connick Jr.

I added a bunch of Chris Isaak songs to my PDA. Odd. LOL!

I have things to buy! Probably won’t do it until later this week or on the weekend, but MUST get Norah Jones’ “Feels Like Home” and season three of Xena on DVD. Woohoo!

I did some online job seeking last night and crap, it’s utterly disheartening! I HATE THIS! I know I need to move on, but what do I want to do? I have this tendency of becoming content with whatever job situation I’m in. If TIIC just left well enough alone, I could probably do my job for another five years or so. I’m one of those odd people who actually likes her job. Yeah, and I work for the freakin’ county!

the hum of the computer…

The waning moon glowed gold and large in the clear night sky as I drove 580 eastward bound toward home. The air was cool, the stars bright. I wished I could feel a hint of spring, but I know it was all in my head…

EIGHT EIGHT SEVEN SEVEN

He’s tall, she thought. And what is that secret smile of his? He has that mischievous glint in his dark eyes and an amused curve to his lips. He has a secret. She wonders what it is…

ON A LIST

I’m in a “I hate work” mood right now. Why can’t TIIC just leave us alone? Why can’t they acknowledge our hard work and let us continue along?

I’m on a list. A “this person takes too much sick leave so we must move this person” list. As if they can just put anyone into any of the jobs in the office. As if they even know what the hell we do in the office!

Here’s the thing, I am not on sick leave review. At least, no one has told me I am. No one said to me last week, when I called in sick, that I needed a doctor’s note because I was calling in sick. So how in the name of all that is fair can they justify moving me out for abuse of sick leave? Don’t I need warning that I’m supposedly doing something wrong? Shouldn’t someone call me into their office and verbally warn me? And then, if I fail to heed the verbal warning, shouldn’t someone write me up and have me sign the reprimand? Is that not the way it is done? Or is the department special and above all of that?

Husband thinks they’re not really going to do anything. A part of me believes this. It just seems like too much effort on their part to disrupt the operation of the office in such a way.

Yet I am still disheartened. If even some of this is true, it’s sad. It means that no matter how hard I work each day and every hour, no matter how pleasant I am, no matter how self sufficient I am, no matter how good I do on evaluations, it’s all for naught. If they need to send me on my way, they will come up with any reason to do so.

And it just makes me want to say F–K YOU!!! Stick it way up your f–king a$$. You are all a bunch of egotistical, brown nosing, a$$ licking f–kheads with sh-t for brains.

Yeah, like that…

“All These Things” by Harry Connick Jr

I have time to write something and I can’t think of what to write! And so the familiar lament begins. Where has my Muse gone? Alas!

THINGS I SOMETIMES DO…

I think every engaged couple should register for gifts. Nice ones. The weddingchannel.com is linked with a bunch of nice places like Macy’s, Pier 1, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn. I say take advantage of the fact that your family and friends want to buy you nice things in celebration of your marriage. Know what I mean?

Did you know that you can register at Target and WalMart for your wedding?

Anyhoo, sometimes I go to weddingchannel.com to see if people I know are registered for their weddings. Just today I checked out a certain baseball player and was surprised to see him registered. LOL! Groovay.

Yikes, time for bed!

“Oceano” by Josh Groban

I was glad we could go to the memorial service for my uncle. We got there just in time. It was NUTS getting into San Francisco!

It was great hearing stories about his days in the fire department, his childhood, and all of that. I didn’t start crying until my cousin spoke. I was surprised she got up there. And she said all the things I thought of before and I couldn’t help but cry…

It was nice seeing my family. I haven’t seen some of them in awhile.

I didn’t get to take any pictures of the building. But on our way out of the city, I tried to take pictures of City Hall.

Enthusiasm on display at FanFest… Okay, I’m ALWAYS amused by anything Barry Zito, but I did have a little laugh over “heartthrob lefty” Mulder lamenting, “I’m losing all my boys!” (Ellis got married?!) And Zito’s voicemail message is him singing “It’s Not Unusual”? LOL! Yeah boy!
