Dear B*ra Manufacturer,

When you make underwire b*ras and you sell them for way more than $ 12.00 the least you could do is put some kind of tip or something on the wire itself, so when they are pieces of crap and break after less than a year of ownership / wearing they won’t pierce the skin and you know, make me grateful I don’t have implants otherwise I’m sure they would have popped today. Awe-some product.

Thanks,

Bella

Some Days I Probably Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Drive A Vehicle October 28, 2009

Filed under: Random & Useless Stuff — Bella @ 6:05 PM

Take this morning for example, get up, know it’s Wednesday, plan my outfit for the day. Get dressed, start thinking it’s THURSDAY so I throw on jeans because, you know, Thursday is jeans day and all. Get 1/2 way to work, realize it’s Wednesday (of course it’s too late to do anything about it). Go into the office, realize my coffee cup is still in the car (had to wait a while to go out and get it, because I was slammed the second I walked in the door). Then proceed to bumblefuck my way through the day and do homework, spend an extra hour working on it because I’m too stubborn to look up the way to do it. Because, let’s face it, I’m smart, damnit! And, today, of all days, I am of course extra brilliant! So, then for supper, I did waht any rational person would do, I had chipotle!

 

Where I Say, A Lot October 26, 2009

Filed under: Are You Fucking Kidding Me — Bella @ 4:32 PM

Somedays I hate my job more than others. Today was one of them. Everything we do is about 57 times more complicated than it needs to be, and has about as many extra steps to complete. It’s beyond awesome. I was told last week in a meeting that I needed to reconcile an account (which, by the way, hasn’t even been touched since LAST FUCKING YEAR) and I was very slightly trained in on it, but didn’t go any further because, you know, it wasn’t fucking working and when I asked for help, I was, of course ignored. So, now, I have to reconcile this to seriously 5 different spreadsheets and oh, yeah, it needs to be done in a week. No fucking problem. I’ve only spent the last 2 weekends there, what’s a few more. I am NOT a happy camper about this bullshit. Again, these problems would be solved if we were proactive instead of reactive, but apparently that’s a completely foreign concept.

 

Where I Was Kidnapped At Work…. October 25, 2009

Filed under: Are You Fucking Kidding Me — Bella @ 12:49 AM
I had to go up on one of the floors to notarize documents for a resident, as I was looking for the social worker to give her copies of the forms a resident comes up to me, grabs my arm (in a russian accent)
 
Resident: you take me to my room?
 
Me: ummm, what’s your name dear, what room are you in (as I’m seeing our PT therapist walking by busting a gut laughing at me, while I’m trying not to panic as a strange woman has my arm and, you know, I don’t know what her capabilities are and if she falls how fucked I will be)
 
Resident: what your name?
 
Me: Bella, I work in the billing office.
 
R: What you do? Why I not know you?
 
Me: Ok, what’s your room number, as she’s looking at my badge so closely, she could have made it to second base if she tried….it was special.
 
R; you take me to my room?
 
Finally she walks into a room (I have no idea if it’s hers or not…) sit her in a chair, ok, dear, is this your room? You have a lovely day, it was nice meeting you.
 
Then I went to talk to the social worker, apparently this resident grabs everyone and asks them to walk her to her room and then before you’re even out of the room she’s tracking down her next victim.
 
Yeah, it was special….
 

Just Venting October 21, 2009

Filed under: Random & Useless Stuff — Bella @ 6:56 PM

This is not directed to anyone who even knows about the blog, so if you’re reading, it’s not you :)

Can I just say I’m so sick and tired of people. People who don’t give a shit about you and you try to maintain a relationship with someone because of family relationships or because you’ve known someone so long you’re just more friends because of that.

I am so sick and tired of work I am ready to freak out. I’ve spent about a million hours there in the last 4 days. SUCKS. I’m supposed to ask for help, and when I do, yeah, I don’t get it. Extra awesome.

Plus, today, I got seriously reamed for a fuck up at work (seriously, it wasn’t *that* bad and was resolved, however, corporate policy dictates we are reactive instead of proactive) so I took my part in stride and admitted my fault in the issue and apologized and said I would do my best not to let it happen again. I didn’t assure them it wouldn’t happen again, because as much as I don’t want it to happen again, I’m in no position to make those kind of promises. After that meeting I was called into my supervisor’s office and told that I am doing a great job with all of the additional duties given to me and they were impressed with my response and the fact I didn’t get too defensive (of course I had my reasons, because no normal person can take criticism without being somewhat defensive).

Then I think that I am going to have to quit my work-study, at least until the first of the year. I’m not really thrilled about it, but hopefully my supervisor understands and I will be able to continue working with the program again after the first of the year when things are supposed to start settling down.

 

Ugh October 19, 2009

Filed under: Are You Fucking Kidding Me — Bella @ 8:16 PM

Received notice today that a HUGE report needed to be filed with a government agency, guess who gets to figure this shit out? Yep, that would be me. Did I mention I have NO idea what the hell I’m doing? Like, not even kinda. I was on the phone with the gov’t agency, the federal gov’t, our auditors and consultant today, let’s just say it’s still not done and I really have NO FUCKING clue what to do and how to do it and even what the fuck I am looking at. It’s pretty awesome. So, tomorrow I have 2 conference calls to figure this shit out and I just now realized I booked myself for 2 meetings at once.

Yeah, this promotion is kicking my fucking ass, and I have to prepare a document for a big meeting on Thursday (that should have been done today) I am totally needing this fat raise that better come along with this damn promotion. Oh, and with the hours I’ve been putting in, I’m not sure if I will be able to keep my work study job that is kind of a waste of time for little to no money, but I really enjoy it.

 

I’m Avoiding Responsibility By Blogging October 18, 2009

Filed under: Random & Useless Stuff — Bella @ 12:59 PM

I should be at work right now. (Took Friday off to get new tires on the ride – Thursday before I left Big Boss Man gave me a HUGE project that actually carries a lot of responsibility that needs to be done on Tuesday) Did I mention, I have school and work study every night and can’t work late and am still doing old job plus new one? Yep, I’ve got A LOT of spare time on my hands.

When I was at home this weekend, saw a bunch of wild turkeys, they’re ugly.

Saw an 8 point buck and learned about the basement people. Apparently, they’re people who live in a basement. Or cellar or something. But it’s not a house.

Visited my grandma and grandpa. That was a thrill and a half. Only out of obligation did I make it over there.

My mom and dad took me out for supper, my dad thought it was because of my grades from last quarter, but instead it was from guild because they took my dumb ass brother and sister both there and not me.

Had pedi’s with the BFF and the girls. I wish I would have had my camera with. The oldest girl had this look of pure horror and delight on her face the whole time, it was super funny. The little one was just lovin the chair massage and being pampered. Then, when we were on the gravel road by their house we opened up the sunroof (keep in mind it was like 40 something degrees out) and they were dancing and hanging out of that. Yes, their mom was there, and they had a blast! It was pretty funny.

I should be working on a little paper for my dumb class too. But I hate that one and will leave it for now.

Haven’t done this one for a while.

Dear Downstairs Neighbor,

For the love of all that is holy. Use your volume button. Turn your crap down. I don’t appreciate listening to your video games and crap at full blast at 10:30 p.m.

Dear BossMan,

Get me out of my current position, bring me to my new one and give me my damn raise. Let’s quit dicking around.

Dear Mother Nature,

No more snow, no more cold days. Fall please.

I have some more, but I can’t think of them right now.

 

Week 1 Of The Quarter Done…. October 11, 2009

Filed under: Random & Useless Stuff — Bella @ 2:15 PM

Managed to accomplish finishing my homework for the next week. Still not thrilled with the one class, but I think I have a paper done to the instructors liking….we’ll see what hapens. I can only hope that he notices my efforts and that my papers will be descriptive enough for him. Like I said, this class will certainly be a challenge.

Got my accounting done, at least that was easy peasy. I just need to put it in a spreadsheet and make it pretty for the instructor. I could turn it in as it is, but you all know me, a little too neurotic for that! Plus, she said we could e-mail it to her, and by doing that it is nicer and off of my plate sooner! Gotta love that!

I am still not sure how I feel about classes at the campus vs. online. I did like the online after I got used to it, but I was also taking pretty easy courses so it’s not like I was super challenged or stressed by them. So, I just don’t know. The main course I know I will have to take at campus will be college algebra. That is definetly a class where if I get a C- I will be THRILLED.

How was everyone’s weekend? I was nice and lazy yesterday and today, of course homework. Not too exciting, but I’ve decided I like not having anything on my agenda and being lazy when I can. I really run during the week and need the weekeds to recharge and get ready for the upcoming week.
