Sigh

I get so upset when my boss leaves me messages on the voicemail telling me how I didn’t talk to a customer about their appointment when it’s total BS! Just because a customer is screaming at you just like they screamed at me doesn’t mean we didn’t come to an agreement, it just means some people want to get their service for free. I have so many customers call and claim they talked to my boss and she tells me she has not ever heard of them, so when it happens to her the customer is evil, when it happens to me, it’s all my fault.

I get so fustrated sometimes because I get into a zone, like I took it upon myself to start entering the past 5 – 6 years worth of invoices. I am the one that got the highspeed connection in here, the new computer, networked the computers, etc.

And yet everything is still done by paper.

I am so fustrated.

Lonely

I know I’ve said this oh so many times, but damn I am feeling really lonely right now. This sucks.

Possible New Layout

I need opinons on a possible new design for OSN so I posted a screenshot of it over at my LiveJournal, which is set at “Friend’s Only” to view it.

Bleh

I have a headache, whats new right? I took some Excedrin but it’s not helping much and made my tummy feel icky.

I got up at 6:30 this morning, showered, all of that fun stuff.

I wrote a big ‘ol thing in my LiveJournal.

Daniel is so cute, I get him to do the itsy bitsy spider and the wheels on the bus songs, he prefers the bus song, I do it like… “the horn on the bus goes beep beep beep…” and he does it and we have hand motions and just awwww so very cute.

I did my credit report yesterday finally, all I have on it are bills from the hospital where I gave birth. Which shouldn’t be on there since I was under good insurance at the time, so I need to call and get that taken care of. One day I would like to have a credit card heh.

I need to do more real mail. Does anyone want to exchange cards/letters?

I have issues, I have my hair down since well head hurts right, so I am all tugging on my hair thinking “wow hair! I have hair!”… yeah… issues.

Anyone want to go to Wendy’s and bring me a potato and chili? I totally need to grocery shop tomorrow. I need to think of an actual grocery list. I need to go through all the wonderful recipes people have emailed me!

Edited to add:
My sister’s boyfriend got me Wendy’s! A potato and a taco supremo salad! Nummy goodness!

Why am I awake so early

For the second day in a row I am up at 6:30am. This morning my son woke up at this time all perky “up mama!” “up mooommmmyyyyy” while he would poke me *poke poke* “UP!”

So uhhh yeah… out of it.

Very out of it.

I Love…

I am really loving and adoring…

Thank you so much for being there for me especially lately. Even when it comes to grocery lists and pen pals! I am very grateful and just… {{hugs}} THANK YOU!

Cards

So I am doing my St. Patrick’s Day cards and 1 of them somehow ended up with an envelope way too small, 2 of them I forgot to put the shamrock confetti in… I feel like a Hallmark failure!

March Birthdays

Does anyone have any birthday’s this month?

Cleaning and Shower Curtain

After I got off work, I have been cleaning like mad crazy! I scoured the bathroom on my hands and knees, I mean scoured. I also did the kitchen and had my father move the fridge out and eww it was nasty behind there! Right now I am still running loads in the dishwasher. I also updated Visionary! Also, before the rest… should I skin OSN again?

So behold pictures of my fancy new shower curtain!

Zoo

EEEEE WE ARE GOING TO THE ZOO TODAY!!!!!

My Day at the Zoo

So we all went to the Lincoln Park Zoo and had a blast! I updated Visionary for the next two weeks with photos from the trip!

Poor Daniel did fall and skin his knee though but luckily my sister always carries neosporin with her so at least we killed germs.

Stolen Money

So I come home from work to see I have a voicemail. Long story short, it was my bank’s fraud department saying there is weird activity. So I have my sisters boyfriend take me to the bank, and so far for sure $30 that has cleared but it looks like it could even be up to or over $100 has been stolen from me. So I went to the bank did the paperwork, and it will take up to 2 weeks to see if I will even get the money back. Not including that still stuff is clearing so it can take another week to see if there is more crap going through.

I am so hysterical right now. I can’t afford this.

Rambling

Well another charge went through so I have to dispute that. Real fun.

What bank do you use and why? Do they have any special features? Free checking?

It’s snowing like crazy right now, makes me and I am sure, my wee child, perky too! We love the snow!

Visionary is updated through the 16^th of this month so keep an eye every day for a new photo!

I am so… brain dead this morning. I went to bed super early and kept waking up all night, finally got up at 6:15am. I also renewed all of the library books online since they were due today but I really am not in a library mood. I just want to go to the bank and deal with all of that crap and go home. I put everything for chili into the slowcooker before I left for work this morning so that is one less thing to worry about.

Grrr

Ok, first off my boss has not been here all week, without telling me she will not come into work. Which is fine, they were doing the water at their house, whatever. Except I have psycho customers thinking I am lying when I tell them for the past week that “Sorry *boss* isn’t in today, would you like to leave a message?” and fax over huge letters “Sarah CLAIMS you aren’t in the office” uhhh whatever.

Now it is very slow lately, no sewer calls, few plumbing calls. So most everyone goes home. So when it hits 2:45pm don’t get me on the radio wondering why no one is here. You sent them home on Monday and most of them have been doing half days all week due to the weather and no calls. (It’s snowing like mad crazy today)

Don’t make me panick about a permit and wonder why I sent the one good plumber to a far away town. I asked him if we serviced the area, he said he was 10 minutes away and would take the call. Do not get pissy with me.

I get so fustrated sometimes! Half the time I never know what to do, the other half I am covering for everyone or dealing with their racism and bullshit! Yes I do like my job, but maybe I would like it a bit better if people were not so lazy!

Crampy and Bored

I finally went to bed around 12:30am. I only stayed up because I could. Good reasoning there! So chubs and I woke up around 8:30am. Played some music and watched him dance, made him a waffle and some watermelon slices, then he had cheerios and strawberries.

I had a glass of milk.

Go figure.

Last night turned it into “that time of month” for me. Joy.

I have no energy today and I need to clean. Since last Saturday I worked, I feel out of sorts today. I am going over to my sister’s apartment later to plant some strawberry, peony, misc flowers, onion, and bell pepper plants. They get direct sunlight unlike myself, who gets no direct light… so I am keeping the plants with them.

I closed the evil checking account and opened a new checking and savings. So now I have two checking accounts and one savings account.

Remember that Visionary — Photolog is updated every single day!

I wish I had some sort of script… like a script to keep track of cleaning lol. I am horrid at forgetting things.

I know I need to wipe down the bathroom, Mr. Clean the bathroom and kitchen floors. Do another load of dishes in the dishwasher. Pick up my bedroom, attempt to pick up the hallway/living room. Just… painful sounding when I have the satanic cramps going on.

Starry Design

New design!

As I run towards the light

I think I am getting sick. Not a surprise since most of the people at work and my sister are sick. I just hope I am imaginging things!

I am going to make lasanga for dinner. I make darn nummy lasanga.

Daniel came in here with his jacket and hat and I said hey chubs where are you going? He said “walk!” So apparently I have to brave the 23F degrees because my child is a snow and cold person.

I bit my tongue somehow in my sleep and then this morning I sneezed and bit it again.

My LiveJournal expires in like 2 days *sobs hysterically*

Gosh I really don’t want to go outside but the wee one is being all cute but it’s so cold…

That seems so far away…

First off, new hostee! So go welcome Rachel!

My tongue is still swollen, hard to talk without sounding drunk, since I bit it twice yesterday.

Visionary is updated with a new photo!

It’s again dark and dreary outside. Yesterday since, although it was cold, it was nice, blue, and sunny outside so I took Daniel to play on the playground, then up to my sister’s apartment, then had my father drive us to the park to play. I did take a few pictures which I will eventually post on my photolog.

Please, please, please! If you have me linked on your Blogrolling account but don’t use it or its linked to a dead site… remove me! That especially goes for anyone I am currrently ‚or have in the past, hosting! *going insane*

*gasp* I think I see a peek of blue sky!

On Saturday I planted some strawberry plants, peony plant, mixed wildflower seeds, and some onion bulbs at my sister’s apartment. They get direct sunlight unlike myself so hopefully this year things will grow! I also have some bellpepper plants I need to do as well.

I have only northern light so does anyone have any suggestions on what flowers I could plant that would thrive in that lighting condition?

Fustrated

Why is it that my boss told me this morning “and Sarah do better on giving the sewer guy their messages, putting a piece of paper on the desk won’t make them read it”

I was stunned.

What led her to believe I didn’t give everyone their messages daily? Just because a customer calls every single day doesn’t mean the sewer guys don’t know about it. They are notorious for not returning calls, heck, my boss’s rarely return calls until it reaches a breaking point!

I always take down the message, radio the guy to tell him, and physically hand him the message when he is next in the office.

I am not able to force them to call back.

Or how about when the male boss who is rarely in the office, makes comments like “you need to be more organized” because I have the paper tickets on my desk. Well since they don’t want to switch to a computer based program, what choice do I have? If I put them in a pile then it’s omg what did you do, if I line them up its not “organized”. Or how I need to “stay on top of things” on how many days the guys work since some are paid per day. Ummm… I write it down when I know they are here but unless I see them leave I don’t know if they worked 1/2 day or a full day or 1 1/2 days.

I get so fustrated because I was never trained and either I’m not doing something or I am doing something to help out for example I was writing down the information for the new digging jobs in the notebook, yes.. notebook, and when my boss came in she started to write the same stuff in and got angry with me for writing it in earlier that day. Yet just a few weeks ago she got mad because I was not writing it for the same reason.

So.
Grrr.

Swings

My son just adores the swings!

Personal

• Fought for a VBAC and lost
  "She proceeded to make the comment “I know the situation, and because of that I’m not feeling sympathetic” in reference to Sarah leaving the hospital AMA and not accepting a repeat c-section previously, and to the massive amounts of pain she was in."
• Vent - VBAC Scare Tactics
  "He then recanted and said, “well maybe it’s not a law, but I’ll tell you NO hospital will ALLOW you to VBAC without it”. Right ok, so first fear tactic and lie."
• I had TWO c-sections
  "It’s hard because sometimes I almost feel shame or guilt that BOTH of my c-sections were medically needed."
• Who Am I?
  "I went from a victim, a weak worthless nothing to a MOTHER. I went from being a punching bag to a protector and then lost myself yet again."
