What's cute? When your almost three year old addresses you as Princess Queen Mommy, or Princess Mommy Queen. And calls herself Princess Puppy. That's cute. Also cute when your puppy chews on your chin or hand with tail wagging aggressively.
Not cute? People asking stupid irrelavent questions during a training course on specific material (2 weeks worth of which is being crammed into one crazy week). Two men walking and completely bottle-necking a 12' wide corridor (lest they walk side by side and the rumors start whirling!!) Also not cute when you are at work at 5:30 in the evening trying to make a static pipe a static color on a graphic (project which you were never assigned to in the 1st place but have to help on bc some people can't be bothered!!!) and the damn pipe keeps changing back to color you changed it from and you can't figure out why so you come in at 7 bc you think you can fix it before training at 8 and customers at 8:30, but the damn things won't stay the color you tell them to be.
Funny? What's funny? When the vicsious email you sent to the admistrator at TotalHealth on May 2nd finally reaches a PERSON on June 30th! wtf indeed?! Wonder if she'll reply, due to the RETURN RECEIPT that I finally remembered to use, I now have a NAME of a HUMAN I can email with future rants. Excellent.........

Ah,
Glenn has no access... hence the major slowdown at my site. Hopefully he will have better luck today. I'm getting training all week. I almost mentioned the product, but you know with all my luck someone (a customer) will google the product name and get my weirdo blog.
Well I'm starved, meeting Vern in cafe. More later perhaps.

Well,
We survived another Chuck E Cheese party. Our 'super server' Meagan was a real piece of work. You would think if nothing else, she could count up to 12 and bring us an appropriate number of plates... forks... cups. Nope, that would require poor Megan to think. I thought it was odd that there was no spot on their credit card receipt to leave a tip. Then I thought about giving her the ten in my wallet. Then I thought about me and Missy running back into the server area to find someone to supply us with the bare essentials for dining. I kept my ten and I don't even feel bad. Although I must admit I could not look Meagan the Super Server (she wrote this on our receipt?!) in the eye as I was leaving. I kinda felt on the one hand that I was furiously rushing through the food/cake/gifts... but then again, after the party-a-thon I attended last weekend, I was enormously aware that people have better things or additional things to do sometimes. We had a great time. C got many cute and thoughtful gifts. She was staring at the floor (with her shoulders drawn up to her ears) during our singing of Happy Bday, but for those of us crouching on the floor, her ear to ear smile was great to see. My baby is 5 today! I can't even type it without getting weepy. And with Flo on my doorstep, it's amazing I'm not sitting here bawling.

Ok Glenn,
Here's a quick blog. I am waiting for a database to export from a tool so I can edit it. But it is slowing my system so that typing this is painful. I don't think I want a new lunch group... Not sure about that. I do like Red Robin though. Bad as Can!

Ok,
So yesterday was the United Way Day of Caring. Well, for some it was the day of loafing but that's a whole 'nother Donahue show. We busted our butts! I am proud of Garry cause he works so hard. I personally would've been horribly embarrassed to show up and just walk around commenting on the work others were doing, pick some mulberries and do a little dancing/eating. Others though, seem to find that acceptable. After all, it was a paid day off! We fixed up the grounds of two group homes where mentally ill people live. The before and after was amazing. We did so much and it looked great when we were done.

Hi,
My kids are now 1.5 years older since my last post wtf? Seems like only yesterday. Bad hair day. Going to Chipotle! Yay!! Had project meeting today :(
Going to try to start blogging more, I like it even if I didn't last long the last time around. I can't believe my blog stayed active with no posts since Nov. 26th 2003!
