A quickie.

Today i'm going to make just a quick post. Today was relatively cool. Much more laid back then this entire crappy week. Work was a breeze today. I spent the majority of the day texting back and forth with my cousin Andy. It was nice because it was alot of catching up and just chit chat. Kinda like not much time passed at all. Turns out he even likes UFC. Hes a rhonda fan so he's on my shit list with that lol.

After work our cool ass neighbors daughter came over. I have been fixing up her laptop for her. Once I get to know people enough and I can see that they're good people like they are, I offer up that I am very good with computers and technology overall. I am very selective because I have had people severely abuse my skills in the past. But theyre really awesome people. I wish we gotten to know them sooner. Theyre daughter is really great so we decided to invite her to a garage sale we have to do tomorrow. It'll be fun and keep the tension out of the air.

Bobbys uncle at times can be very hard to deal with. Him and Bobby seem to be in a perpetual argument. Its just way too much testosterone. Plus theyre both stubborn people. We have to get up super early to get there and get everything all ready...I'll only have a 1 day weekend, but well have Tambri with us and that will keep us entertained as well as giving her moms some time to themselves. Garage sale with Troy is going to be quite interesting. Ugh lol. I definitely dont want to be there all day..

Wish us luck lmfao.

Is it Friday yet?

Can I just stress how crappy this week has been? I spent close to FIVE hours correcting someone else's mistake at work. My boss gave me a fat stack of work and asked me to just check that a certain part of this form was entered into the database and if it wasn't, enter it. I was prepared for a few not to be because lets face it, shit happens. But I wasnt prepared for NONE of it to have been done. I didnt say anything and bit the bullet but damn. I have so much of my OWN stuff to do I dont have time to spend close to a day fixing your shit too. But I digress.

I finished another book today. The 4th Mortal Instruments book, City of Fallen Angels. I must say that I was impressed with this book and liked it much more than the majority of the last one. Since there is only 6 books in this series I decided to hold off on the 5th book until tomorrow. I dont want to finish it TOO quickly. However, it is inevitable. I read so much these days. I did my own calculations and determined that I average about 6 books a month. I also compiled a list of all the books I've read since March. Let's break it down shall we?

For those of you who are like, "How do you read so many books?" It's audio books my friends. I listen to audiobooks all day at work. It's literally one of the only things that help me make it through the day. I found a really great torrent site specifically for books. I abuse the shit out of it But anyway, I'm a bookworm nerd. I always have been. The scariest thing is when my current series ends, what am I going to read next, the struggle is real.

I'm just waiting for my little hellion to go to bed so I can relax and watch a movie. It's been a really long and bullshit day.

Wednesday

Happy Wednesday.

Man. Today was so boring dramawise. I had a pretty normal day. Normal for me though, not overall normal. I had plenty of work to do today, and even topping it off, I had a walk in that refused to leave and my boss came and helped me lay the smack down. I'm not really rude, but they sit me up there to be firm. I literally had to tell this woman and her family that I didnt care why she was there, or how far she drove to get there because noone, including me, could help her. Before you think 'Oh man what a bitch". Anyone who applies with CAMTC knows we dont take walk ins. Hell, it's even on our website that we dont, and if you're seriously driving to our office to speak to someone rather than calling, you done fucked up anyway and you know it. Not to mention they sit in the downstairs lobby for an hour and try and come back up and confront me 1-2 more times. But whatever.

On top of my normal day for some reason Michael Keaton came up in conversation with my husband. I had said that when I was younger I wanted Michael Keaton to be my baby daddy when I was little. I then texted my mom some quotes from Johnny Dangerously starring of course, Michael Keaton. I told her I wanted Michael Keaton to be my baby daddy when I was little. My mom replied with "Im ok with that". You know typical mother daughter conversation. I love my my mom though. She's hilarious. She has that serious no nonsense humor. I miss her alot. She lives all the way in NJ. I thought about her alot today. I thought about her and home so much that when filling out some paperwork today I wrote I lived in NJ. Can you guess what's on my mind lol? Clearly my family.

I reached out to a family member recently that I havent spoken to in YEARS. I'm glad that he accepted my friend add and we've actually been exchanging messages for a few days and it's been really great. He and I were pretty close when I was younger. I technically did him wrong in the past and Ive had to live with the guilt on that for quite some time. I had to bite the bullet and try and explain to him what happened and why I did what I did that led to us not speaking for years. I hope hes forgiven me and he said that hes not holding any grudges. Well see if it gets better and I can manage not to mess it up again.

I'm chilling out because I've been like habitually fatigued for weeks and weeks now. I dont know if its because I work so hard or because im a mom, or both. Probably both. I dont have too much to say because I am tired and I know that I need to keep up with this because I said I was going to. Back to relaxing and Daniel Tosh stand up.

So today I decided that I was going to give this blogging thing a try. My husband (Bobby), and myself have been doing odd end things on the internet just for fun. He's been editing and uploading videos onto youtube. Our neighbors in the front house, who are some cool ass chicks, have a home business making life like newborn children and one of their main revenues is youtube. They upload videos and people watch them and they get paid for everyone that watches the video.Bobby's Youtube

I work a 7-3:30 schedule which really works in my favor being a mom. I work early and get off early. Without traffic I usually get home right before 4pm. I've worked at the same company since 2013 which is nice just because I like the stability, and the familiarity of my environment. I'm a hard worker so to say my job is easy may not be that accurate. I've always succeeded as well as excelled in every job I've ever had. I'm a good worker. It's just one of my traits. But my job is tedious, and requires alot.

I can't really tell you what exactly my job title is because I do so many different things. An easier question would be what dont I do. But I do currently have 3 main focuses to what I do. I enter in all educational transcripts from applicants, document and calculate the amount of hours they completed at whatever school they attended and update it to their profile in our database. I process and enter in all livescan background checks into their profile in our database, and I am constantly updating MBLEX test scores that are incoming into a spreadsheet that I have made and built from scratch. It has close to 2300 people on it. I cross reference their info to our database to see if they've applied yet and in the even that they have, i update our database and print their results to be filed. Out of all 2300 results around 600 people haven't applied yet, so each day I need to put their info into our database to see if theyve applied yet.

Anyway, today was a pretty annoying Monday. Work wasn't really that interesting. The constant change in work flow from being heavy to scarce is what's annoying to me. Some days I'll be so completely busy where it keeps me busy all day, and others I'm out of work by 10am. I'm not sure whats worse. Being swamped and busy all day, or running out of work and having to look busy the rest of the day because there isn't anything else I can do. Today was that day. I ran out of work early because I didn't get my spreadsheets for the week. Not that it really matters because I finish my spreadsheet of Livescans in a day. After I print them all, staple and ID them, I enter them into the database and give them to "Lucy" to file in their files. But at least it's 1 day of steady work.

One of the best parts of my job is the isolation. I sit up front in reception because we get so many walk ins that need to be turned away, they demanded someone gentle, but firm with a no nonsense attitude sit up front who didnt give into the walk ins and turn them away. I sit by myself all day and get to listen to headphones. For the past few months, I prefer audio books. Since I work full time, and I am a mom, reading is very hard. I literally dont have the time. So i use the 8 hours at work to listen to endless audio books. I've lost count to how many books I've ready since March. It's easily passed 20 at this point. I read 1-2 a week at least. 

I'm currently listening to The Mortal Instruments Series. I simply love it. I am disappointed that the movie strayed so atrociously far from the book, it's no wonder so many people hated the movie that they aren't going to continue the series. The same thing happened with Divergent and Insurgent straying away from the books, but they're still going to make the movies.. I've read online they are making the Mortal Instrument Series into a TV show. What a mess. The cast looks so inappropriate to the characters in the book. The movie at least was pretty spot on with how I pictured them in the books. Anyway, I'm on the 4th book. I started the series last week. I'm only on Chapter 5. It seems like this book will be more into Simon's point of view which I could really do without. Simon isn't that important to need a book heavily on his point of view. More Jace and Clary please!!!!
