Tonight Was Interesting

It started out pretty well for it to be work. 1st shift didn't have to come in, so I got to walk into a somewhat empty building without any of the 1st shift depts. being in the way. I got to work in a clean area and on a clean line. It's not very often that something like this happens, but when it does, my anxiety level drops tremendously. So, you could say that I was actually having a pretty good day. It's nearing time for 2nd break, and we were doing rework. Everything was going according to normal until the supervisers told us to stop what we were doing and go on to break. Now normally this is irritating cause it was 15 minutes too early for us to be going to break, but crap happens, and I thought this was one of those moments. I was figuring a hydraulic leak due to everyone was having to leave the floor. It wasn't until I got near the double doors that the odor hit me. It wasn't a hydraulic leak. It was an ammonia leak. The smell took your breath away, but we were ushered to the break room where the air was much fresher. It is here that we were made to stay for about an hour and a half and not allowed to leave. At first, we thought that we would be able to go back to the floor and carry on with production, but as luck would have it, they told us that everyone (except those with a jack license) would be leaving the building. Alas, with me not having a driver's license, I had to stay and wait on my hubby who's jack driving skills was put to good use in helping to clear production floor. I didn't get to leave that place till about 1 am. Keep your fingers crossed that something like this doesn't happen again. Odds are that we may end up having to work this Saturday to make up for loss production time. You know, with as much as I complain about work, I have to say that the management did a very good job in getting us out of the ammonia smell to a safer area. This is the one time where you will hear me say, "Thanks, guys, for a job well done."

I Just Can't Be Satisfied

Well, I wasn't too happy with my space being used under a different MSN Passport than my original one. So, what do I do? Yep, I created a space under my original passport and then transferred everything over to here. So all of my entries are going to have the same date now, only under each posting I added a note telling the original date that I wrote it. This will be my permanent space for the simple fact that it's too much trouble to switch spaces and keep my entries. While surfing MSN Spaces I came across one that gave instructions on how to create a guestbook, hence, the weird blog entry. If anyone does actually take the time to read spaces, please feel free to drop me a little note as a "hello", and be sure to leave your url for your MSN Space so that I can explore yours. I like surfing blogs and checking out others templates, postings, photos, artwork, etc. While surfing I came across some interesting spaces, Tea and Bon Bons with Amy. She's listed under the Best of MSN Spaces. Every other day I check out her space and love to read her take on daily life. She has a very nicely designed space. She's the one where I found the link to make a guestbook. You can find that under MSN Space of the Day. He also has hints and ideas on many other things to personalize your space.

Oh, What a Day

Started out by having to wait on hubby at work till about 2 am. I then proceeded to stay up till about 5 am just goofing off on the web (must relieve the stress build up from the day). Got up and got ready to go to Wal-Mart to do the always fun grocery shopping. Then hubby and I wrestled with the new bed putting it together. After a few choice words and bumped knees we now have a new bed and it feels so good!!! Still working around my space and such. I will be adding more books on my list and possibly adding some photos if I can get up off my lazy butt and get them uploaded to the computer and sized. While waiting on dear hubby at work I managed to finish my test that I had been forever neglecting to do. Now I believe I have just to finish the practical exercise, and then I should be ready for my next module. For those that don't know, I am taking a home study course for Web Page Design. I enrolled at the Penn Foster Career School and am taking the Web Page Designer Program. I am the happiest when I have my nose in a book or at the computer. I decided to enroll in this program and hopefully upon completion maybe take on some jobs designing web sites for some extra income. While sitting here typing on the computer, I can hear the wind roaring through the trees. It's just a tad bit chilly in the house so I imagine it's pretty cool outside. We are having a light rain. I can tell it's light by the way the roof is leaking in the back room where hubby is at his computer gaming. It's just a slow drip. Usually when it's raining hard, the drips are more frequent and there are more of them. We have a pain in the rear for a landlord. Mom has repeatedly been asking him to fix the roof and he does. It's just that he doesn't fix it very well and it only lasts for awhile before the plop, plop of the leaks start again. We are discussing finding a new place to move, but where do we go and do we really want to fool with the hassle of packing up everything and moving it?

New Stuff to Play With

I discovered yesterday morning that MSN has added some new features for me to play with. I haven't really had a chance to look at everything. Right now I'm absolutely beat and need to get my butt in bed. When I get up, my Saturday will be spent getting groceries and probably working on getting my bed put together. I'll have to explore these features more late Saturday evening and Sunday. I've added my profile although I don't quite understand fully about the Live Contact thing. I may also work with my photos and add them also. I realize there is no sense in hiding from the person who misunderstood my previous blog at Blogger. So I will be adding stuff later on when I get more time.

Another Hard Day at Work

It's not that my job is hard, it's the fact that I have to stand on that damn concrete for about 9 hours. My feet, knees, and legs are killing me. And if that wasn't enough, I think dear ol' hubby is in the bedroom. Usually he doesn't come to bed until about 5 or 6 in the morning. Tonight of all nights, I think he is in there watching tv. I won't get any sleep till he decides to give in. I know I should have been to bed sooner, but I couldn't help it. I've been spending my time at MSN Games. I've gotten hooked on this little game called Zuma. The dang thing is addictive. I also play Bejeweled 2, MahJong, and TextTwist. Those are my favorites. I love passing off time playing those. I have got to call it a night. I don't think my legs can't stand it anymore sitting here.

I am Beat

Tonight was my first night back to work, and I can tell that I've been off for a week. I am beat. My feet, knees, and legs are hurting. All in all tonight wasn't too bad. Some people asked me how I was feeling and that made me feel good. Didn't have to wait on hubby either. I dread tomorrow though. My feet are going to be hurting so baaadd.

Lord of War

Okay, don't get me wrong. I love Nicholas Cage as an actor and I think he did a great job in this movie. As far as the plot goes, I have to say this movie sucked for me. Now, I'm an action, horror, thriller, fantasy, sci-fi type kind of girl. And it is very hard for something to keep my attention. Although I watched for the simple fact that dear ol' hubby picked it up while getting groceries, I have to say we could have saved our money and rented this thing. It was a little interesting, but it is definitely one of those where I would only watch it once. It just doesn't have that rewatch appeal.

To the Doctor Yet Again!

Can't ya tell that I've had enough. He at least gave me some ideas to try on different people. It still doesn't help the fact that I hate it at work. Oh to be at home with my nose in the computer. Is there a job out there where you don't have to deal with the people? I wish. At least according to Dan everybody's been asking about me. That's a nice feeling to know that I'm actually liked. We discussed the mishap with the blog. I in no way have any regrets or bad feelings. It's like I told him, my intentions weren't to insult and I didn't. Nor did I bad mouth anyone in anyway. I just simply vented my feelings is all. It's not my fault that someone misconstrues what I wrote. Want to know a little secret. That's exactly why I don't like dealing with people. Can't control them whatsoever. You say one thing and they take it to mean something else. Yep, that's the story of my life. Being totally misunderstood. Oh yippeee! I get to go back to work tomorrow. Like, I'm so excited. Not!!! I am so miserable at that place it's not even funny. C'est la vie, must have that green stuff in order to give it to everyone else.

Ghostly Shadows

In the dark of the night With a full moon up above Dark shadows fill us with fright Like the pain of a burned out love They glide on the darkened walls They walk with you up stairs They creep along cold halls For an unexpected person they scare Darkened shadows fill us with fear They came from nowhere in sight The bumps and crashes that you hear Are only you running in fright Just as soon as they appear in the dark They disappear with the morning light That burned our their darkened spark Only to come back at the break of night This and all other works contained in this site are copyrighted©.

Time for a Change

This is one thing that I love about blogging. Whenever the mood strikes you, you can just change your template to whatever you want, and, if you're not totally satisfied, just change it back. Well today has been one of those lazy days. Actually the whole week has been that way since the doc. ordered rest. My son has a friend over tonight, and they are enjoying passing the time away in front of the Xbox. Those things come in handy. Instant baby sitters for when you're not feeling well. However, that doesn't mean they are to be used for just plopping the kid down in front of it so the parent doesn't have to deal with him. I don't see how a parent can do that with their child. I like being around my son. We spend our weekends having movie marathons or sometimes we get out the board/card games and play. I couldn't imagine life without him. It's disheartening sometimes to check on the news and read about what a parent has done to his/her child by neglecting/abusing them. I honestly can't understand what would possess someone to do such a horrid thing to an innocent child. I hate to go back to work just for the fact that I will miss him terribly. I call him everyday on my breaks and it seems to help a little, but it's not enough. Secretly, I'll be glad when he's out of school for the summer. It's such a relief to see him waiting up for me when I come home from work. Most parents are irritated when the summer hits and school lets out. Not me! I can't wait.
