Mornin'~
Yesterday was REALLY rough. Got into it w/ one of the Finance mgrs. He insinuated that I wasn't doing my job in a timely manner....I asked him if he wanted to do my job, showed him proof that he didn't know his @$$ from a hole in the ground, "explained" to him that we didn't get our money from the lienholders the way HE said we did, showed him proof of that also. Then the SOB said I had a really bad attitude!!! I looked at him and said "Yes, I realize this, and it's from dealing with @$$holes like you every day!" We got REALLY loud, and there was no way in haiti that I was backing down. He finally realized that he was wrong, and apologized. I told him, calmly this time, that if he EVER has a problem, ASK, DON'T ASSUME. Later that day he asked if I was still mad at him~I said, "are you done being an idiot for the day?" (the girls in the office were amazed that I said what I did...one girl said she was really proud of me for not backing down, another one said she would have started crying - there was no way I would cry...punch the crap out of him yes, cry...no chance!!)
THEN~I had another round of Roller Hockey to shoot last night after work. Boss & his wife had to fly out of town, and I was supposed to have 2 assistants~a new girl that worked for us 6 years ago, and the girl that worked in the office part time, and was wanting to become a full time photographer. Anyway, this is a pretty big shoot, and it takes 3 people to run. Well, the part-time office chick no-showed on me. What usually takes 30-40 minutes to set up, took an hr and 10. The new girl Amy did a great job helping, it was just really hard trying to explain stuff from the top of a 10 ft ladder trying to hang a muslin! Then, about an hr and a half into the shoot, as I'm shooting a player, I notice the corner of my backdrop start to fall. Before I can grab the ladder and get to it, the whole thing comes down!! I grab the ladder, Amy gets the tape, and a couple of parents come over and start helping! We get it back up, I close the ladder~ON MY FINGER~ (hurt like a bugger...it's still purple this morning!)~ looked at the next player in line and said "Are you ready yet??!!! Everyone started laughing~Anyway, I was supposed to have my last team at 7:30 - they showed up at 8:30, got home, unloaded the equipment, showered and crawled into bed at 10:30. I'm counting another 60 for yesterday, although it was more like 180! My back and legs are killing me this morning....the leaning on the ladder and stretching and balancing really did a number on me last night.
Oh...my food intake sucked too.
b-banana
l-3 bites of Chef-BoyArdee ravioli (that stuff is total crap~)
d-3 fried mozzerella cheese sticks and a 12 oz coke. (at the photo shoot)
s-2 mini cupcake bites
water-approx 40 oz...gonna double that today!

I'll check in later tonight...if I'm still moving!
And yes, I'll try to play nice with the other kids today!

You're freakin amazing. I don't know where you get the energy to do all you do! I certainly would have counted a lot more than 60 minutes of exercise yesterday!!!

Hope the finger, back and legs are feeling better today!

 

[lovinaz]

I can't believe the office girl was a no show! Guess she doesn't want to be a photographer that bad, huh? I hope she has a good excuse.

You are so busy! I thought my life was hectic, but I just have 1 job! Hope your finger is better.

 

[kmp1191]

Finger is fine...kinda purple, and dented, but fine.
Office girl is no longer employed with us.
Someone in California got access to my Visa number and charged $350.00 on it last night at a Target store. I got a phone call at 1 o'clock today from the fraud dept at my bank asking if I had authorized purchased in California.....UUUHHHH....NO!
Anyway, I had to go and fill out the paperwork, close the account...(it's my DEBIT card too!!) They'll take the money out, and then after it's all disputed, and verified and whatever, they'll put it back.
Yeah....so is everyone else have a nice week?? IT'S TUESDAY AND MINE IS SUCKING PRETTY BADLY RIGHT NOW!!!

I need to take DS shopping for some Fall clothes - the child has 2 pair of pants that fit him. Guess that will wait a few more days!

ok...so my food log...
b-banana
l-grilled chicken sandwich, 1 waffle fry
d-gonna be meatloaf & potatos...i'm not even hungry right now.
water - 60 oz so far
tea - 8 oz....I WAS STRESSING AFTER THE PHONE CALL FROM THE FRAUD GUY!! CUT ME SOME SLACK HERE!! I only drank half of it - it was a 16 oz glass!
exercise-none yet. gonna hit the treadmill in a few minutes. Also gonna go clean the bathroom...maybe.

i'll check in later....
marie

 

[kimwim8]

Damn woman...if it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all!

It's good that it was only $350, right?? Could have been a LOT more!

You still did great with your food intake, AND your water!

Hopefully you took out your frustrations on the 'mill!!

 

[lovinaz]

Wow, I'm glad the fraud guy called you before the ID thief did more damage! And then you, the victim, have to go through all the crap of getting a new debit card, etc. It's just not fair, is it?!?!?? Any idea how your number got in the wrong hands?

Don't worry about the tea, you only drank half of it and I'm sure you felt guilty... Did you get your workout in???

 

[lindalinda]

I get tired just reading your journal. I'm going to take a nap, have a good evening.

Why is there no yawn smilie?

nite.

 

[kmp1191]

ok...so today I HAD to get DS some clothes. He wore the only 2 pair of pants that fit and I sent him to school in windpants (you know...the kind that goes swish swish swish when you walk in them) Anyway, I got him 4 pairs of jeans, (only one pair fit) and 6 shirts...3 of which he doesn't like.
Then tonight I ran to Walmart to get a new shower curtain liner and got him 4 more shirts (long sleeved t-shirts...no tags, no buttons)
Now then, I have company coming this weekend...(NASCAR race is here, and they are big fans..the same friend that came down 2 weeks ago, only this time it's not a business trip, and he's bringing his wife and kids...they're staying at a hotel!) SO, tonight I'm going to attempt to clean the house, then tomorrow night my friend Juli is going to help me make lasagna for dinner on Friday night. I figure we can eat out on Saturday!! (I don't cook....
AT ALL!) Heck, I'm tired too from just thinking about this crap!! At least I can relax on Sunday this week!!

Ok...food today...
b-1 poptart
l-salad wrap w/ lt ranch
d-nothing yet.....
s-1 mini kit kat
water-80 oz
exercise-I'll let you know after I get done w/ the housework!!

marie

 

[kimwim8]

What do you mean you DONT cook? How'd you luck out?????

Your food is still good, and your water is GREAT!! You're doin it, woman!

 

[lovinaz]

You can still eat healthy with company. Try to figure out where you'll be going and plan in advance what you are going to have. And avoid the sweet tea like the plague!!!!!

 

[kmp1191]

I am really looking forward to this weekend!!!
Tonight we are having lasagna...(my friend Juli came over and helped me make it...I know...I'm pathetic ) Then Saturday we are going to the race....gonna be at turn 4 with a group of friends that has an rv and grill, so we are gonna do hamburgers and such. Saturday night I"m planning a beef stew....and they're leaving Sunday....so who knows!!
House is clean....swept, mopped, dusted...I want a maid!!

Ok....gotta get ready for work....man I hate that place!!

have a good day peoples!!
marie

 

[lovinaz]

Sounds like a busy (but fun) weekend! Sounds like you have the food part all figured out at least!

Bummer that you are unhappy with your job. I was so unhappy with my other job, but I really enjoy the one I have now. Can you transfer to a different department maybe? Or are you just holding out until you move???

 

[kmp1191]

I'm holding out...I've been at this one for almost 4 years....I'll make it. I've been in worse, that's for sure. It's just really stressful right now. New GM....new rules. I got into it with another salesman today. He came up to my desk complaining about his commission being wrong....he yelled, I yelled, I kicked him out of the office...he went to my boss....she called me in....I told her I wasn't going to deal with him because he was an @$$hole, and if she wanted to deal with it, then go for it. He apologized. I walked away. AND THEY STILL WON'T FIRE ME!!! go figure!! (anyway, he was wrong about his commission)

So, I went and got my hair cut today. I was tired of it being in my face, and not holding a curl, and pretty much not having any style. So....let me know what you think.....

I figure with it short, it will encourge me to stay on track on my diet, and exercise....I think I have a fat face, and if I don't have any hair to hide behind, then I'll have to loose weight. I know....weird!!!
Anyway....I like it...it's SOOOO easy....can't use a curling iron or anything now!! Just blow dry, gel and go!!

Tomorrow is the race! I'm looking forward to it. Gonna be fun!!
The lasagna was WONDERFUL!!! I think we'll be eating it for the next month!!

Ok...gotta get to bed...have a good evening and sweet dreams everyone!!!
marie

 

[lindalinda]

I think the hair looks great! Very young and smart! I cant do short yet, have to lose some of my face-fat first!

Have fun at the opera! I mean the theater. ballet. Oh yeah, the race

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hey, Marie! I Love the haircut!! I've gotta get mine chopped off again soon! I agree about not being able to stand it in my face!

Sounds like your having a fun weekend! Hope the fun carries you through the work week

Keep up the good work!

 

[kimwim8]

Your hair looks AWESOME!! And what fat face are you talking about? It's so thin looking! No double chins there! That's quite a pose you got goin on woman!

Hope you had fun at the race!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, lasagna!!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks guys....DH loves my hair short....so do I. I haven't used the curling iron since Friday...don't miss it either!! I do think I have a fat face, but there's nothing I can do about it, EXCEPT STICK TO THE DIET!!!

The race was AWSOME!!! I took about 250 pictures!! We were right at turn 4....about 3 feet off the track! Everytime the cars came around, you could feel the dirt hitting you!!! (not to mention the rubber off the tires!!!) I stood on top of the RV and took a bunch of pictures!! Then after the race, I pushed my way to the front of the fencing and got some pretty good pictures of Kevin Harvick and his wife in "victory lane".
Then last night we went out to dinner. We were all beat, but went anyway! I had pulled BBQ Chicken sandwich a few fries, and yes, I had a sweet tea! Get over it. I only had one!

Today we went to the zoo. It was a lot of fun too!! For a city that is ranked #2 in crime/murders in the country...I do have to say we have a great zoo! I took 115 pictures there. Our friends forgot their camera, so I was taking pictures for them. I burned everything to discs for them, so they can print the ones they want.

Ok...so here's the food intake for the weekend~

Man....so that is what a fun weekend is like.....cool!! :

Wow - I miss a few days of your journal, and I miss everything!! First - I LOVE your hair! It's my dream to cut my hair short. Could you send your dh over to tell my dh how stunning short hair can be? Dh's a little long-haired obsessed!

Glad to hear you had such a great weekend! The race sounds pretty fun too, not to mention the zoo. I haven't set foot in a zoo for years. Please post some pics when you can. Aren't you hungry by the way?? Only one cheeseburger all day? I'd be gnawing on furniture by now.

Have a great week!
