excuse me for a moment!


while I scream!!! I get soooo tired of things not going my way. I know thats selfish but please listen while I moan and groan for a bit....oh, and while I'm blogging...every time you see the *** that means machine jam...this will give you some insight to my frustration...and some humor to myself!
I love my job, not many people can say that. I like working with my family, my friends and the new friends that I have made along the way. I don't like it when my machines break, when people break my machines (just kidding jess and KQ :-) ***and when they just plain don't want to work. Its quite humerous at times. I think that our repair man thinks I am insaine because while he is fixing one I am threatning to break the other. ***Hes not too cool with the whole "copier abuse" issue that I have. Honestly though, why can't things just work?!?!?! It all started Thursday:***
I stayed home from work cause my*** lil Jak was sicky. We had a great day besides the whiiiiiiiiing!! (I don't know where he gets that!!) So I call the office to give mom my "to do" list. I am talking to her when she breaks the news*** to me that my motherboard in my computer crashed. *** AHHHHHHH! NOOOOO is what I say to myself. Luckily I know the owners will take good care of me and get me a new one or set me up something that will work for a while until mine gets back. Friday I go in....I was a lil bored..I had both kids and I was frustrated. Needless to say I occupied myself with being out of the office and running errands and seeing customers. It wasn't too awful. So I get back late friday and go to do the EOD paperwork and nothing wants to add up....grrrr.... oh welll, mom fixed it for me so I could go :-) Saturday we had our floors waxed and redone so I had to be there to let the guys in..no biggie...saturday night I go up to check on stuff and reset the alarm and about die tripping over everything that was out of place....I laugh it off and go on.
Monday: dunt dunt duh!!!!!! I dressed skanky since I knew that we would be moving a desk so that I could have more room......It wasn't so bad since my Uncle Butch had to get dirty. I think people were a little frustrated since the whole office was out of wack but thats how it goes. One thing that is for sure to happen is change at our shop. Besides, I DIDN'T have a computer to work on, until about 3pm.

Tuesday: I hate vista....for those who like it, may God bless you! Nuff said, it makes me want to scream***!!!!!
After being here from 7:15ish till 6:30ish...I was done!
Wednesday: NO COMPUTER on the network. I tried to work...really...but just couldn't get anything done! I had to walk away :-) we had a dinner for the November b-days at work so I burried my sorrows in green beans, corn, taco dip, chicken, brownies, dumplins, cake, diet pepsi, deviled eggs, and pasta salad and rice steak stuff. Yah, it was worth it! Finally after the computer guy was working on it for like 6 hours he had no answer and left me to be mad!*** Oh, and the machine called for a maintenance call in the middle of a rush job for Cara & Beth...grrrrrrrr
Thursday (today): YAH!!!!! I have the network!!! I can't print anything.....but I can work!!!!! until everything went wrong....as soon as Diane leaves (yah, it's her fault j/k) the machine won't run my job in the right colors for Christian Academy...I have to RUSH a sample to new albany, tell her whats going on...find a solution to meet thier standards...and get back and run it on the slowest machine on earth!!!!! So, while I'm gone, two of my lovely ladies try to help me and run a job.....lol, they tried. I love em, nuff said (it really wasn't their fault but don't tell) so my reapir guy comes back, fixes 1 machine while i kick the other***
now here I am sitting listening to both machines run and have a smile on my face thanks to the applesauce cake provided by SHerry and the DP from mom :-) Hopefully I make it home in time to see my kiddos, read our bible story;tonight's noah's ark, go over our verses for cubbies and school, say our prayers and watch Grey's. Time will tell.
It's funny though...I have to laugh because I refuse...REFUSE to let this machine get the best of me......God grant me patience***

fyi, your vista license may allow you to downgrade and install xp instead. Ask your computer guy, and make sure you have a good backup.
