Where to start… plenty has been going on lately so I think I’ll just start at a random point and let y’all just figure it out.
First off, I finally have my computer up and running smoothly again. I don’t even remember how I started to mess with it, but one thing let to another and here I am fuckin’ around with the partitions and screwin’ shit up. Then I just said ‘fuck it’ and wiped everything clean and started from scratch. Saved all my personal files and just said ‘bye bye’ to everything.
Now, my partitions are the way I want them, and everything is running great. Especially since I now have DSL! WOOHOO! I downloaded like 2 hours worth of music within the first 10 minutes I had the service turned on. That in itself was a pain to get set-up. Verizon is sending me all this crap sayin’ that my line “qualifiies for DSL” and “you can fly on the web with DSL, call us now.” So I go online and click the lil icon that say’s “see if you qualify” and low and behold…. I don’t. So I call them up and the first thing they ask is “Do you know your line qualifies for DSL?” Long story short… I got DSL; and I’m pretty happy with it too.
And I’ve had plenty of time to play with that since I’ve been home sick. I had a sore throat for the longest time and was at work the one Friday and it was getting worse and I noticed that my glands were swollen, and pretty sore. So a friend I work with suggested that I just go down to the ER and get looked at, and maybe they can give me something… well… they did tests and an hour later I get the news… good news: not strep, bad news: mono. So needless to say I’ve been out of work since then, which is about two weeks now, and I still don’t have a note from a doctor sayin’ I can return to work.
Oh well, I am looking for a new job anyway. I thought I hit a really good lead recently. Another friend at work referred me to one of her friend’s who is very well connected. I sent him my resume and he told me to expect a phone call from several people that he forwarded my resume to. Well… we’re like a month later and no word. So yea, no hope there. A contact of mine works for Express and he said that he may be able to get me a position here in Columbia, as long as I don’t mind working with women’s clothes. Eh… yea, no. I really want to get into my field but they’re all looking for experience which I have none. So until then I suppose I’ll just have to keep looking while working this dead-end job. I’m hoping to move soon. I really want to get out of this house and down to maybe DC or right outside DC, but that’s probably not for another few months.
Let’s see, what else…. hmm… oh… yea, deleting the same 3 numbers over and over again is a pain. Verizon had to replace my phone because the software in it wasn’t able to be upgraded. So during the process of transferring my phone book to the new phone, it added 3 numbers to EVERY entry. So yea… had to delete those 3 numbers over and over and over and over again. Then I had to make the groups over so yea, a pain.
Bailey’s doin’ great… she’s finally taken a liking to her crate. Instead of barking, crying, and clawing at the thing, she’ll sleep in it now. No clue why the change of attitude, I’m just thankful! Which reminds me, we still haven’t gotten the papers from the AKC for her pedigree… but that’s not surprising. She wasn’t purchased from the most reputable people. They were definitely kinda shady… they had two ads out one of which said $400 and the other which said $500. They told my mother that they had only one girl left, but when I called they had “a bunch” of girls left, and when we finally got there they had 4 girls and 1 boy. And to top it all off, when we called which was a week or two before we actually went, they said they were 8 weeks old; when we got there, he said they were 8 weeks old. They had already sold some before we got there and when I got the paperwork for the Bill of Sale, it said her birthdate was 10/20/03, which meant they were selling them before they were 8 weeks, which is illegal. Anywho… I had already fallin in love with the pup so we got her anyway. She’s PLENTY healthy and very active, but SO cuddly.
Anywho… I’d better get goin’, dinner should be ready soon… yum… food…
