HELP!! MAYDAY, MAYDAY!

So, I'm trying to post this cool banner made by dear Chellie and I guess I effed it up. Now, all our sidebar stuff is at the bottom...WTF??? I didn't do anything with the sidebar, why is it doing this? I know we have one or two puter people around here...help, please??? I even changed the template, thinking that would put things back to normal but noooo... I do like the new template, I just want to spice it up.

Any ideas?

Blah, Blah, Blah

This week has flown by and its hard to believe that I haven't posted since Tuesday. I tried several times and either had nothing to type about or was inturrupted mid-sentence (damn, I hate how I am suppose to actually work at WORK) so here I am. I must say, this has been an extremely productive week for me. My desk is nearly cleared except for those things that I choose to put off until they go away and I feel as though I got more accomplished this past week than any other week in the past year. Why is this? Well, since SS decided to move in with Rockstar and I don't get to monopolize her time like I use to, the work day is a big part of our time together. With the use of email and instant messaging, I am all but a click away from whatever topic or question of the moment. I am not complaining by any means, this steady interaction has a way of making the work day shorter and I cannot tell you how many times a day, I laugh outloud due to something silly that she said or typed. It is a good thing that I am in a small office with very few others around. Otherwise, I'm sure they would have either had cameras installed or forced me to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

So, since I've been ever so productive this week, I decided I would take today and only do things which I must so I will have time to blog and just clean my office. I really need to do something about the bread crumbs in my keyboard and the dust collecting on my shelves. I had this intention when I woke up this morning...then things went to hell. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I was late yet again today. Today, it was 20 minutes past time to come in and of course...Boss was here to give me hell about it. Today being Friday and me being already as full as his shit as I can take, I spout something off which I usually wouldn't. It was an ugly mess and I would have much rather just walked out the door than listened to that crap yet again. In 5 years time, I have been late at least 200 times, if he was going to fire me over it then he would have by now. "If your not going to fire me over it, jackass then just leave me the hell alone!" Of course I didn't say this but man...I should have. I am not an "on time" person and will never claim to be. If I was hired solely to be on time, then I'm afraid they are not getting their monies worth. I'm salary, I don't punch it and I put in much more than my 40, whats the big deal? So, after the discussion that "I'm a supervisor and should set a good example," the same one I've heard at least a dozen times, he leaves. Blah, blah, fucking blah!


I am just glad this week is over and next week, SS will be back so I can go back to being almost totally unproductive...but at least I'll be on time! Well, maybe...I will try at least.

So much for big expectations!

Saturday night was to be the big night! My return to the bar scene after I decided to settle down and have a baby. I couldn't wait to go, I went shopping for a cute little shirt, borrowed shoes from SS, showered, shaved, primped and polished, anticipating my night of fun! I called a girlfriend of mine to make the 40 minute trip with me as I was to meet SS and the other party-girls there. We were going up a little early so we could get started sooner...I couldn't wait to get my drink on and get on the dance floor. So, we arrive before the other girls and find a place to park. "Oh wait," I say, "I can't find my wallet!" Apparently my sweet little baby girl took it out of my purse! So, now I'm downtown, ready to party and I can't get in because I have neither my ID or any cash. I should have taken this as a sign to just go home and call it a night, but NO DAMMIT....this was to be my night! I wanted to party! So, after another hour and 20 minutes, we were at our destination with my ID in hand, we made our way to the club to meet up with SS and the girls. The thing was, there was NOWHERE to dance! After sucking down two drinks I was more than ready to get my groove on and the only decent bar didn't have a dance floor and the others had one about as big as my half bath! It was miserable, we couldn't move, we couldn't breath...had their been a fire, we would have all surely been trampled to death. I could look over all of this had I had a freakin' inch to move, so I could have danced to at least ONE song, but no, it was not in the cards for me this particular night.

I was tired, I wanted to go home, I was cold and my feet hurt...damn I sound old! What has happened to all the good times? I made it home by 3 am, no buzz left at all and just wanting to hit the sheets before the baby's 6am wake-up call. To top it off, I felt like crap all day, I had a headache and just wanted to stay in bed.

Am I getting old? Is this an official end to my bar days? I don't even care to be dancing ON the bar anymore, I would just settle for shakin' my ass on the dance floor and I couldn't even get that! I honestly can't remember EVER having a night like this in all of my bar days...and there were MANY of them. Maybe I'm growing up? I doubt that, but I do feel my bar-hoppin' days ending slowly and it makes me sad. I knew it wouldn't be the same and that is fine...I'd rather stay out of trouble these days but I just didn't expect to be so miserable. Maybe its for the best that I didn't have any fun? Maybe that'll keep me from going back and getting myself in trouble as in the past? Who knows! All I know is right at this moment, I don't care if I ever go back!

No More Nekkidness!

In keeping with the adult theme that seems to be prevelent today, I just have to talk about what is going on in the big city nearby. The Louisville Metro Council is intent on regulating adult businesses in town, namely strip clubs. It seems that after March 1, the following will be law in L'ville, taken from their website...

"Here’s what the ordinance would do: prohibit nudity at all establishments with only semi-nudity being allowed; prohibit alcohol on premises that have semi-nude dancing and require a 500-foot buffer from an establishment serving alcohol with existing legal businesses being allowed to continue to operate through state law as a non-conforming use; create a uniform hours of operation for adult entertainment businesses (9 a.m. to 1 a.m); and rewrite about 25 percent of the existing adult entertainment regulations to ensure that they withstand a court challenge."

So, for the poor girls whose livelihood depended on getting naked and getting tips, it seems they will need to look for other work. From what I have heard, even those establishments that do not serve alcohol still they are not really allowed to be topless, the girls must still wear pasties. How many men (or women) would be into watching someone dance around in her bikini? This is crazy and surely to end the career of more than a few people! Oh and no more touching the girls, even to give a tip...there must now be a tip jar on the stage. WTH! Oh, and forget couch dances, those are a thing of the past in L'ville. Honestly, what is wrong with the girl getting a little touchy/feely just to make a few extra bucks?

So, if you live in the Louisville area, be prepared to drive a bit to get your nekkid girl fix cause it ain't happenin' around these parts anymore and I must say, I think it is complete and utter b*s! What do you think?

Bloginalilty Quiz Time!

Yet ANOTHER QUIZ...sorry but I found this one in my spare time (who am I kidding, today is Friday, it's been spare time all day long) and since it has to do with blogging, I thought I would share with my fellow bloggers. I know you guys love'em!




My Bloginality is ENTP!!!

So, my Bloginality is....

As an ENTP, you are Extraverted, iNtuative, Thinking, and Perceiving.
This makes your primary focus on Extraverted Intuition with Introverted Thinking.

This is defined as a NT personality, which is part of Carl Jung's Rational (Knowledge Seeking) type, and more specifically the Inventors or Visionary

As a weblogger, your love for a discussion may cause you to debate things more often. You might also flit from idea to idea, not completing one before going to the next. Your largest sense is intution, which makes you a good at understanding what is going on around you - and this could act to your benefit when making blog-like posts over a journal.
