paying for stupidity

  • Jun. 15th, 2007 at 12:29 PM

Ok so this morning seemed like any normal morning. I grudgingly got out of bed this morning and got ready for work. Arrived at work at 7 and started my day. Part of me did not want to be here at work and the other part wanted to find out why my store was not balancing. I was still not fully awakes since to me it was still early enough my brain had not started working to its full power. So then about 9 am I get a call from my apartment complex informing me that my apartment was flooded. Needless to say this woke me up. I asked them what happened and they told me that the people above me had started a bath and the fell asleep. Now who the hell falls asleep when they know they are going to take a bath. That is just something that I do not get. I mean it is not like it takes forever for a tub to fill up.
Now i do not know what happened and how much damage there is or any really at the moment but that my house got flooded and one of my couches was saturated. So i am sitting here going over all the possibilities that that could mean wait for my apartment complex to call me back. So now became some stupid person fell asleep I might have to move to a new unit.
Kerry is a cranky panda today. But on a side note it is a little funny so if you are laughing it is ok. I understand. I am going back and forth between laughing and worrying. Once I know everything I will no longer worry and just laugh

If you are goign to do a job do it right!

  • Feb. 16th, 2007 at 2:08 PM

I really hate stupid people. I also hate when some one does not do their job right. If you are going to do some thing then make sure it is right and if some one has questions you have the back up so you can show then what you did any why. Now because my boss does not have the confidence in the inter company being done right I have to go look at all the stores to see what was done and if it was done correctly with out messing up inter company since it is balanced. And my boss feels bad that she has to ask me to do this but I am the only one that knows it well enough to do it. She knows that I will look into everything and check what happened before I make any changes. People make me batty.

 

I don’t mind doing the work because it is my job but I hat having to go back and do something because someone did not do theirs!

 

Ok I am done with my rant. Time to fix some one else’s work L

Happy Day

  • Jan. 17th, 2007 at 3:43 PM

Ok so I took half a day off on Monday and yesterday off because I was not feeling good. So when my boss came in to my office this morning and said "Kerry when you have a moment come see me" I freaked just a little. I started thinking damn I really did not feel good and I would have come in if I knew I would be in trouble. Now I know I tend to think I am in trouble anytime some one wants to talk to me. Even though I know that i should not and I had no reason to be worried that I have not done anything that would have my boss upset with me, but old habits that are beaten into you are hard to get rid of. 

So I go into her office and she tells me to sit down because it is time to go through my review. So again this makes me a littel nervious. But as I am reading and seeing my score she had nothing but good things to say about me. I got a 5 on 7 out of the 9 areas and a 4.5 on the other 2. That made me really happy. I found out that she considers me her right hand person on the reconsilations that are done in the office, and that she depends on me for a lot in the office. I also found out that I get a raise with it. WOOT! WOOT!

So today has been a very good day for me. 

Just wish I was not so tired so that I could go to dinner and the coffie house. Next week for sure.

Stress Management

  • Dec. 1st, 2006 at 12:05 PM

Just in case you've had a rough day, here's an eight-step stress management technique recommended in the latest psychological newsletter.

The funny thing is that it really works!

1. Picture yourself near a stream

2. Birds are softly chirping in the cool mountain air.

3. No one but you knows your secret place.

4. You are in total seclusion from the hectic world.

5. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

6. The water is crystal clear.

7. You can easily make out the face of the person you're holding underwater.

8. See... You're smiling already!

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last month I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points). Last Monday I helped [info]greenferret01 across the street (6 points). In January I pushed [info]silverknight in the mud (-17 points). In March I broke [info]ladylili's X-Box (-12 points). In April I caught a purse-snatcher who stole [info]alanna_liadon's purse (30 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-1 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking!

Sincerely,
counting_kerry

You are The Empress


Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.


The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.


The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Old stuff

  • Nov. 18th, 2006 at 12:51 AM

It is weird how old feelings can come back up. It sucks when you know (or at least think) you have delt with something and all the feelings that come with it but some of the feelings still can come up no matter what.

And it never seems to be goo feelings. They are always the feelings of being used or being not good enough. It is always the bad things.

Right now I have some of those feelings coming up. At one point it would have just crushed me. But tonight it jsut makes me sad. It makes me sad because of how everything played out. Things could have been handled a lot differently and all parties would have been ok and not have the battle scares.

But because of everything all of us involved are dealing with the scars and the healing, and sadly we don't know what is happening on the other end. So we all will get to a point where we talk and then there will be one more thing that will test everyone, and that will be when the true feelings comes out and the people involved can talk and be honest with each other. Part of me cant wait till that happens and part of me can.

So for now i will deal with the sadness tonight, and just remember that things happen when they do for a reason and that time will tell what it all is for.

A Different Christmas Poem

A Different Christmas Poem

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it trickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, is face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts...
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice, I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.

Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue...an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother...
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."

"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,

"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."


PLEASE, would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to out U.S. Service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

Friends

So i was able to find an old high school friend on myspace. He is someone that I have thought about for a long time. He would just pop up in my head and I wouuld wonder how he is and what he is up to. It was great when I found him. I was so happy.  I found my Jeff. A couple of days a log I also found some other friends from high scholl. And I am happy that i found them but not as excited as when I found Jeff.

I think it is funny how people can become such a part of you. They get a pice of your heart and they will always be there. No matter how long has past or how often you talk to eachother. I have that conection with a few people, and I am glad for each and every one of those people. 

I lost touch with a my friends due to shit that happened. But slowly this past year I am finding them again and I am free to talk and spen time with them. I am so happy for that. Now I jsut need to work on staying in touch with them, and making sure they know I love them and that they are special to me. I need to stop life getting in the way so much. I say so much becasue I am not stupid enought to think it never will. I mean come one it is life it has too. :)

Ok so this week has been a great week. I am so happy at the moment. 

Lets see Monday I was able to stay home age tget work done on Gina's blanket. It is really coming along. I have been working on it for about a week in a half and it is about half way done. Which makes me happy.

Tuesday i spent time with my mom. She called me that day worried about me so I figured I would go and show her I was ok. She felt better once she saw me. She was worried I was going into old habits. :) Got to love mom's.  Then I got a unexpected invation to hang out with one of my friends. It was a very nice night. Very unexpected but very very nice.

Wednesday I went to Shawana's house because to talk about bout a few things. I also found out that Colin is really interested in me and it is not all in my head. I found out that he is coming down for Thanksgiving. SO that means that weekend I will be up in Prescott. I could not stop smiling the whole day. I still can't stop smiling. The only thing I wish is that Colin and I were talking. It would just be cool, but at the moment we are going through Reid and Shawna becasue we were both dorks the first time we meet and did not get contact info because we are both shy. (stupid shyness)

Thursday Shawna mentioned that Colin wants a relationship with me. Which got me smiling again becsue oddly enough that is what I want to. This is I think the first guy that I have not just wanted sex from. It is a little weird for me. 

To day I talked to Reid and he said that Colin is defently coming on Thanksgiving.

This is the first time I am looking forward to Thanksgiving for more than just the days off. :) I hope it comes soon. I really want to see him again.

Happy Happy week.

Poor Doughboy :(

  • Sep. 27th, 2006 at 4:21 PM

SAD, SAD, NEWS!!!!

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.

The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes.

Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion and take the time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else who may be having a crumby day and kneads it.

Why is no hard

  • Sep. 12th, 2006 at 4:43 PM

I have come tho realize that I can not say no. When it comes to people I know and care about I can not say no. I will have every intention to and all the reasons why I need to, or should say no, but some how it never comes out. This is not a trait that I am happy with. What really got me thinking about this is I read a blog from an old friend. I am not sure what we would call each other now. I do know that we have not really talked for about 10 months now. I tried it a about 3 months ago and it was still the same old shit. In this blog she mentioned that she was sorry for pulling away from her friends and that she is doing better and will be call all of her old friends again. Now I don't know if I am on her list to call or not. But it got me thinking about what if I am. I don't know what I want. Part of me wants to talk to her, but I am not sure if that is just out of guilt and remorse of a 10 year friendship that is no longer there. I don't trust anything about it at the moment. I don't trust that she has changed and I don't trust my strengh either. I am not sure that I am strong enough to be friends again. I don't know. I want to say yes I am but then again I don't know. I am worried that I will not be able to say no to her. Plus I just don't know if it is a good idea. Maybe if she calls I will only keep to seeing her when others will be there. 

Now I know I could be making more out of this than I need to at least think about what I would do should it happen. Because I know myself I tend to agree to things before I think them through.

Learn

  • Sep. 12th, 2006 at 3:10 PM

One of my friends worte this and I thought I would share. I really like this one. 



After awhile you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesn't mean possession
and company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept
your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build your roads today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have ways of falling down in mid-flight.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine
burns if you get too much so you plant your
own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
that you really are strong
and you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn...
