Hello everyone. I thought about doing a boxfiller today, because I had a really long day at work (7:25-4:35 is long when you're in training all day) and I still have to look over a few things for work tonight. BUT... I'm going to make a real entry since I will be missing the next three days to do the long part of my cross month, provided I don't accidentally write or something. So, here goes. Anyway, on Saturday, I got up that morning and went to the gym to lift weights, and then I went to Kohl's for a little while to see what they had on sale. I just bought a pair of earrings that were like 80% off, and that was it, but Kohl's has some really awesome sales here with stuff being 60-80% off, so you can get some really good deals. Then I went over to Clay's and we went swimming and then played, and I wound up getting even darker from the sun again (but it's all good, and I do wear sunscreen BTW; I just tan really well). I went to my parents' house on Saturday night because I didn't really feel like staying at the apartment. It's a mess right now because Alicia went to Frank's house to get all of her stuff the other day (Frank is her ex) and she basically just put the stuff in the living room. So, there was a great big pile of clothes all over the floor, a bunch of board games, a bunch of Wii games, and other random stuff that she got from Frank's. She took back like everything she'd ever given him too. Now he has a Wii, and I don't even think he has any controllers because she bought those and she took them back, lol. He only has like one game now too, she said. But I didn't really want to stay at the apartment surrounded by her stuff... she's slowing cleaning it up now, fortunately. Besides that, not much is going on really. I hung out with my parents on Saturday night and ate Subway (lol really exciting meal there, lol) and just hung around for awhile on Sunday, and then went to Chris and Suzanne's house for a meeting for everyone in the church who works with the kids ministry. One of the other volunteers, Kathy, and I went to Zaxby's afterwards and got food and just hung out for awhile, so that was pretty cool. She's wanted to hang out, outside of church, for awhile so I was glad that we finally got to. Anyway, that's it for now. I'm in training at work all day for Monday and Tuesday of this week, and then I'll probably spend Wednesday doing all the work that I missed from being in training (sheesh, I can't EVER get ahead). We get paid on Friday, so at least there's something to look forward to there. Hope you all have a good week and be back with another entry on Friday!
Hello everyone. I'm sitting at home and watching the new show on CBS, the Wall. They put these families behind a wall or something and there's competitions and eliminations and all the usual reality show stuff. I guess it should be pretty good, at least there's something on. Last week was crazy at work (I work at a computer software company). I wrote about the busy-ness of it on Friday and then my day at work on Friday was just as bad. I had a ton of stuff to do, and all the procedures I wrote for the client survey on the UI elements... well, after I had called the clients and actually gotten responses from some of them, my boss decided we were going to do it another way, meaning that all of my efforts with testing on Thursday were wasted. It's just annoying- it's like, if she's going to make an executive decision, she needs to do that before we drag 10 other people in the picture. I guess I'm just getting pretty peeved at it lately. We have usability training at work on Monday and Tuesday too, bleh. Not looking forward to having to actually see my coworkers for 8 hours a day and even eat lunch with them (they're bringing in lunch for the training). Jamie, Christina, and I went to the mall for lunch on Friday and it was crazy busy! We had a tax free weekend here in SC, so the mall was crowded because people wanted to buy new clothes and shoes for school all tax free. It was bad enough in the food court so I can imagine that it was crazy inside the actual mall stores. After I got off work on Friday afternoon, I went to the pool to lay out. I went to the campus pool, so it was fun because there are people my age there and stuff. I laid on my SpringFloat and floated around for like two hours lol. Got a pretty sweet tan too! Then I went to the gym and did the elliptical for a little while. That was about it for my Friday night though... I'll write more about my weekend for tomorrow's entry, which will be the last entry for a few days so that I can do the cross month (I'll be missing Aug 11-13 to make the big part of the cross, lol). Hope everyone has a great week coming up!
I gotta find time to see Clay and my parents this weekend, not to mention lift (arms) and go to a meeting for church tomorrow. So needless to say, I'm not writing. Have a good weekend and read yesterday's real entry if you haven't.
 Hello everyone. Sorry for the lack of real entries lately- I've just been busy at work over the last few days and Clay was here Tuesday night and last night. I thought it would come over tonight, but he hasn't. It's kind of annoying. He just shows up here. I mean, I don't have a problem with him surprising me or anything, but I wish he'd call or text me that day and let me know so that I could adjust my schedule accordingly. If I had known he wasn't coming tonight, I would've cleaned up a lot because my apartment's a mess. I get off work early tomorrow so I might do it then but I really, really want to go to the pool. I want to go to the campus pool too so I might pack my swimsuit and all and go there straight after work. Anyway, work was crazy today. I had to wind up calling clients to get them to test user interface stuff for me (I work at a software company. I know, it sounds smart. It's really not). So basically I had to write up procedures and do screenshots, contact clients, send them to clients, etc. I've never done some of this stuff before and really wish my boss could've provided some guidance, but she was in her office with the lights out and a do not disturb sign on the door for almost the entire day. Fortunately Christina and Mark helped me some, but still. I think I'm the only Technical Writer at my job who actually somewhat likes being a technical writer. Everyone else either hates it or wants a different job with the company. I mean, writing training manuals was never a childhood dream of mine (or anyone else's for that matter), but it's really not THAT bad. I mean seriously... it could always be worse. One of our sales people said they had a job once cleaning toilets at bar- now that's definitely worse. Christina and I went out for Mexican today and it was awesome. Gotta love Las Palmas. We had the lunch specials because I had a coupon, but the Mexican pizza there is definitely the best thing. Oh, and Danetra and I had Quizno's yesterday and I ate my leftover Quizno's tonight and watched Big Brother, which was awesome because Ronnie got evicted. Last night (Wednesday night), Clay and I went to Revolution. We had a really big crowd too. A couple more people have started coming lately so that's really cool, they're pretty nice people. I do like going and I'm glad that I finally found a good church. I went to Goodwill today and bought a ton of clothes. I got Express dress pants there and other stuff that is BRAND NEW for like $4. It was totally awesome. I wound up spending $26 on 6 pieces of clothes, so I really racked up. Most everything is winter clothes though, but I got those two new pairs of dress pants which are really awesome. I'm going to wear them to work next week I think. So yeah, definitely a very profitable trip to Goodwill. We just got a Goodwill a few months ago too but it's nice to have a GOOD thrift store in Florence for once. Anyway, that's it for now. I hope everyone has a great Friday and a great weekend as well. It's a Tax Free weekend in SC, but I doubt I go shopping or anything. I'm thinking about going to my parents' house to just watch TV and chill like I did last weekend... either that or just hang around here and clean, lol. God Bless!
I'm going for a cross month this month, that's why I missed yesterday. I'm missing today because work was busy and I didn't get a chance to write an entry. I'll have a real one tomorrow though. I get off work early, anyway.
