Winter needs to go away

Winter really needs to go away. I had a little taste this weekend of going out on the 4-wheeler and hanging out. I will be doing this all summer, if summer ever gets here. Hurry Hurry winter go away, we want spring to come and stay!

Final week of these classes

I am super happy this is the last week of these classes I am taking. I hope the new classes that I start next week don't suck as bad as these ones.

Am I the idiot here?

So I am back in school. And what is so hard about being in school is that it is always the same. It is tedious and boring and I am not learning anything. The one thing that I hate more than anything else in the world is meaningless busy work. Now I am in week 8 of a 9 week courses. I am very much looking forward to these two classes being over so I can move onto a yet, more of the same. I guess the one good point is 9 weeks is a pretty short amount of time, at least its not a 4 month semester. I might have to kill myself if that were the case.
One thing that I just can't get over, is an assignment I had to do, time myself reading and then evaluate what I read blah blah blah, I mean I seriously did more challenging work in high school but whatever. So anyways, part of the assignment is to pick out words I did not know the meaning to. Here is the link to what I had to read. http://sbinformation.about.com/od/sales/a/presentationtip.htm

If you even just look at this article briefly you will notice, it is very 5th grade language. The most difficult word in this article is probably, important or relevant. All of the words in this article should not have to be looked up in the dictionary by a COLLEGE STUDENT. If you received a high school education, you should know what the word captivating means. And even, better, my grade was marked down because I stated that the language in this article was not difficult and was language I used on a daily basis and did not have to look up any words in the dictionary. Next time kids, just do your homework and include the definition of the word "the". That should do the trick.

Wow

So, I really dislike this time of year. For whatever reason, people are crabby and I hate crabby. People get moody and horrible this time of year. It is hideous! I am seriously glad that I am not the only one who is experiencing this horribleness. Thank you T for confirming I am not the only one feeling the pains of the crabby! There have been things going on. I have talked to different people and I have this feeling that 2008 is going to bring change. A lot of change for different people. My friend K has started dating again. A co-worker J is having a nervous breakdown and is about embark on serious life altering change. I myself am feeling changes coming about. Part of it is this new job. Part of it is being back in school. And part of it is just me being a bitch. The longer that I live the less I am handle crap. I am tired of the crap people! Sick and tired of it. From my family and their ridiculousness to my husband and his way too high, seriously too high expectations of me. I am sure this is just the holiday season talking, but seriously, I am pretty much done. I am one person. That' s it, no more, no less. Just one.

Time keeps slipping away

It seems that, I get so busy I don't even have time to type about myself. Weird isn't it? School sucks, I hate when you have to take classes about nothing but asynchronous communication. Yes I learned a new big word! Yay! for me. So, my job is waring me out. I am exhausted every single day, which really should say that I need to invest in some good vitamins or green tea or something. Really, I hate this time of year. Everyone expects so much from a person. Seriously, I just want to do my homework, do my job and hang out. And that right there is enough for me. Oh well, what can you do. I really need to make sure i get back here and talk about myself some more.

Long time... whats new...

I realize it has been a while since I have posted. So what is new here. First I got a promotion, it is not the job that I wanted, (see previous post), but it is more money. I wish I could say exactly what I would be doing in my new and improved role but sadly, I can not say because I do not exactly know. Which has it's own set of issues. Life is interesting eh? J and I have spent a lot of time on the 4-wheeler lately. Which is good. I like to do things which get us out of the house and into the fresh air, meeting and talking to people and doing things. I think it is really important to get out there and do things. J really loves the 4-wheeler, he has the whole outfit now, matching jersey, pants, boots, gloves and helmet, in true OCD style. At least most of the gear is for safety and will protect in case of injury. God forbid there should ever be an injury! Also, we are going to buffalo for a wedding which also happens to be over Thanksgiving. I have not yet told my mother. Not only because she is going to be mad, but it will be another example of how she will try to make me out to be a bad person, for doing what I want to do, and being who I want to be. My mother has not accepted the fact that I am an adult and I do make my own decisions, and they not be right, but they are MY decisions. And besides that I don't think one should turn down the opportunity to leave the state and go do things one has not done before. You only get one life. You should choose to live it for yourself not others. Now, the task is before me to attempt to make my mother see my point of view. This will not happen, but know, that at least I did try

Something is just not right

I was up for a couple of new jobs at work, either one of them would be a promotion and quite frankly I am more than qualified for the both of them. I have found out, because I was told, that the job I really super duper wanted. I won't be getting because my boss is getting the job instead. Which you would think well maybe he deserves it more. Well first of all, my boss was not able to apply for the job because he got himself in trouble. And because he got himself into trouble and was not able to apply for the job, now they have decided to change his job duties and just give him a new title? Doesn't that sound a bit like favoritism to you? It does to me. I mean it's not like out of the two of us, he is the one with the degree. Yah, that's right I am the one who actually has a degree in the specific area that the job requires. It is times like this that I think, it can't be because I am a female? Right? ... RIGHT???? Companies just don't do that anymore, do they? I am starting to think that they do. Why else would this company break it's own rules and "not" promote a man into a promotion after he pretty much got himself close to being fired. You would think they would at least interview me? Then say, ya know what, you just aren't qualified. I would accept that. I would say that is fair and that is all I guess I would really ask for. But, not even to fairly compared, skill set to skill set, education. And we can throw out the fact that I am already doing more of the job than my boss is doing. In fact, according to my co-workers, I am already doing my boss' job for him. Yeah thank you very freakin much for the support there guy. Yah your welcome, I have been doing your job and you have gotten the job I want. Good luck there guy, it's not going to be easy for you. Because I am tired of doing your job for you. GRRRRRR I am just frustrated, I know I am venting and bitching and whining and complaining. But I am very ANGRY and very UPSET.
