Oh happy day!

First, I must appologize for my boring post yesterday. I re-read this afternoon and I even had a hard time getting through it. I should have just said...I rocked to BFS and left it at that. So, sorry...not one of my finer moments!

So, today was my interview and I am so super psyched. I found out that not only would I have my own office (biggggg office) but I would also be able to modify my hours to what I want! Also...they will continue to let me attend any trainings I want, so more "business" trips like the one I'm about to attend will be in my future. Another big plus is that they reimburse me for up to 80% of college courses, so I will be able to finish my degree...FINALLY!

All this sounds great and I can't wait to talk to them next week when I return...then, we will discuss money. We all know thats what its really about. Are they willing to pay me what I believe I am worth and deserve??? Of course I think I'm worth BIG DOLLARS, I mean my butt sex post alone says that, right? ; ) I think my chances are good of getting what I ask for and I am so looking forward to talking to them next week and getting this finalized.

Hope you guys have a great week and PLEASE keep Strawberrie company, she will post later in the week I'm sure but she had a rough weekend and has been busy. Let's just say that what she will post has me on "cloud 9"! Not the whole story cause its not the best but the outcome...it's what I've been waiting over a year for! Oh and also tell her that she NEEDS to visit me in Lexington later in the week! ;)

Bowling for Soup and SO MUCH MORE

This Saturday I got to get out of the house for a little fun...nothing like I plan on having later this week in the big city but still I got out. The band
Bowling for Soup whom I love happened to be playing at a local college so I make the trip up to L'ville ready to party. Bad thing is...it was a baptist college and alcohol is not allowed on school grounds. Then to make matters worse we go eat at Qdoba and they only have bottled beer, no other malt drinks. I really wasn't in the mood for beer, that usually doesn't come until later in the night...after the hard liquor. Remember "liquor before beer..." Sure you do. Problem is, I didn't get either and had I known I would've suffered with the bottle stuff just to get a little buzz at least. I especially would have, had I known I would be thrown into a freakin' mosh pit with a bunch of kids who were barely of legal age, much less drinking age. Those people are down right crazy! Who wants to get shoved so hard they fall back into the big stinky guy behind you???

So anyway, we get there after the first two bands perform and with a name like "Riddlin Kids" I don't think we missed much. The band just before BFS was called American Hi-Fi and I thought they were really good. They have songs on the soundtracks of the American Pie trilogy...pretty good stuff. When they were finished we stood around waiting for BFS to take the stage and pretty much laughing at how young the kids looked. Why does it seem that the older you get the younger everyone else is? These college kids looked and acted like I did in high school. Just makes me wonder if when I'm 40 or 50 if they will seem like 1st graders???

Then, the boys took the stage and somehow I was disgusted and turned on at the same time, how is that possible? Well, it is possible because one of their guitarist, Chris is an easy 350 lbs of tattooed ickiness and the drummer, Gary is the quiet, bangin' the heck out of the drums type who was suprisingly hot in person. Maybe it was because there was not that much to look at but he totally turned me on. Drummers have always been my preference AND he had that sexy little patch of hair on his chin, there is something about that...SEXY! It's probably a good thing that I don't get to see many live concerts, I'd imagine being a roadie would be tough with a family and all. ;)

Oh yeah, wish me luck for my interview tomorrow...and that I make it back from my big party...ummm I mean business trip. LOL

My Jerry Springer Moment

So, this has been saved as a draft for a week...guess, I can post it now!

This actually happend a couple of weeks ago but since I am still dealing with the mess, I thought I would share. Some of you may remember my blog about my car accident the week before Christmas when I slid down an icy hill, smashed into a dividing wall then finally came to rest against a guardrail which was the only thing keeping me from plunging 30 feet to my certain death. Well, after a grand total of $8,000, and 30 days later, I had my SUV back. This one traumatized me greatly because I just knew I was doomed! Course, I escaped with not even a scrape...unless you count my damaged ego from everyone laughing at me and telling me that I can't drive. Oh well, on with the story... So, last month I'm in the drive thru line at Mc D's ordering when I look in my rear view mirror to find this car backing up...I yelled at the chick to stop as I tried to move up but the ditz didn't stop and she backed right into my freshly painted bumper, scratching it all to hell. I didn't notice it at the time but right as she was backing up, the manager from Mc'D's is running out the door to the car, screaming, "Get the F*** out of that car, right now!" She then proceeded to begin beating on the window of the car that just hit me, all the while screaming, "what the $%*&@#" and "Is that bitch carrying you baby or somethin?" From the car emerges the scraggliest looking fellow I've ever seen, with his head hung down in shame. The two love-birds then ride off into the sunset, leaving me pissed off with scratches on my bumper and the trashy chick who hit me with dents in her door.

So, the police were called to file a report and guess what??? Girl, doesn't have proof of insurance...imagine that! "Of course I have it officer, I just left my husband in Ohio and didn't get a new card." Yeah, whatever! So, she is sited for the violation and we go on our way...me finally getting food and her going back to the trailer park she came from. So, I get my estimate...$488 and deliver it to the county attorney's office in hopes they add it to her charges so she will have to pay me when she pays her court costs. That would be all fine and good...IF she appeared! She did not, so now there is a warrant out for this 21 year old and my truck STILL isn't fixed.

Other than that mess...I might be following in the footsteps of a fellow blogger and moving on to a new job. This prospect sounds even better, given the recent events around this place. If the job comes thru, I will hit the ground running and not look back but we'll see what happens and I'll keep you guys posted cause I know how much you care. ;)

Oh and sorry I've left the job of keeping you all up to date up to Strawberrie alone but between this job and being sick for over a week, I'm lucky to be here now. I do miss you all though and try to check in with you daily, even if I don't comment.
