What’s going on people?! I almost forgot I had this thing for a while.
A few weeks ago I was in the process of converting this blog over to
paralyzedfreedom.com and ofcourse I have no luck in having things go the right way and let’s just say that GoDaddy can kiss my ass. Maybe one day they’ll decide to actually help me when I call the support line and I’ll finally have the domaine up and running that I payed for nearly two months ago.
Can you guys believe it’s already Fall!? It sure doesn’t feel like it here in Florida though. Hot is an understatement. I usually get really excited for Halloween way ahead of time… about the same time as the stores start putting out decorations. This year is different. I have no interest in halloween whatsoever. I think it’s because I’m alone now. My brother and his wife moved out so I don’t have them to hype me up (they’re into halloween just as much as I am), I’m not working at the school anymore, so I don’t have any room to decorate and I’m working ALOT. Granted, we sell alot of halloween stuff through our company but I can’t afford any of it. Remember when you were a kid and you didn’t believe adults when they told you that growing up sucks? Well, they weren’t lying. Overdrafting your bank account every week just so you can make 20 dollars stretch the entire week for food is not a good feeling at all. I know that my paychecks will pick up in the next few weeks which is a relief. I’m looking forward to when I pay off my truck and I will have extra money so I can start looking for apartments/rentals.
I was moved to a different department at work which I lasted three days in before I asked if I could be moved back to my other department. I’m sure you’ve all been there… tried something new but realized it just wasn’t for you? I’m much happier in customer service (that sounds funny, right?… who’s ever happy working in customer service?) Well, you’re looking at her. Work has been going alright. Some friends of mine have been promoted to supervisory positions and you can see it already going to their head. I just let it run off like water though, no sense in getting mad about their attitude. Another problem (that doesn’t bother me) is that we have this contest to see who can upsell on calls. When you get an extra sale, your name goes up on the board and you bump someone off. At the end of the day whoever is left up on the board wins a prize…. let’s just say that I’ve gotten a few and other people are jealous. I’m not going to STOP trying to sell stuff just to make people happy…. hell, I don’t even care about the prizes, I just like the fact that we get paid a $1.00 cash for everyone we sell. That’s a week of gas money every week that I don’t have.
I’ve been watching the Austin City Limits Festival online. It was a pretty big disappointment until now. Dax Riggs has been playing for about an hour now and I’m a happy girl. I was planning on driving up to see him at the House of Blues in Orlando next thursday but I can’t get off work early enough to make sure I get there in time. Being able to see him perform live at lollapalooza and now at ACL has made up for that…almost

I want to go to the beach tomorrow. It’s just entirely too hot not too. I’d go to a pool except every “public” pool around here charges money to get in and you’re basically paying to go dive into a bowl full of bodily fluids…. not my thing. The sunsets are
starting to show all their glorious colors as fall creeps in so maybe I’ll come home with some good shots.
Have a great weekend everybody. “Be good to yourself, and eachother”
