Yuck. I really don't look forward to going through all that again.

Oh well.

I attended a meeting with the CEO of our company today. He advised us that our company is going to be fine during the recession. Others, such as AMEX, Providian, and First USA are pretty much screwed. One company's stock was at 6 cents a share yesterday. Ours went up $10 last week. Yay. We can still expect earnings of 35-20% next year as well.

What does this mean? I will still have a job and my classes will still be paid for. Thank the gods.

Anyhoo, I'm going to go find some food and then do nothing for the rest of tonight.

Tomorrow is Friday!

Not a bad mood, but one where things just really irk me. Must be pms or something.

just a few thoughts and small rants:

-Honestly, I thought Disneyland sucked.
-People who wear too much damn perfume/cologne suck too. Why do they think they must wear the entire bottle at one time!??!?!
-Don't take your kids everywhere with you. If they are being little shits, then they are being really annoying to everyone else. Stay at home and teach them how to behave or find a freaking babysitter.
-People who can't drive while talking on the phone suck. I wish they would just stop. It's pretty pathetic when a person can't make a turn with one hand.
-Swiss cheese is horrid. I can't stand the taste.
-I don't like butterfingers either. bleh.
-People who blow their noses at the dinner table are really gross. Please stop, we don't want to hear/watch you blow snot into a rag while we are eating.
-There is life beyond the tv. It doesn't have to be on 24/7. Try something different. Like...I don't know...NOT TURNING IT ON!!!
-Turning signals. They are good things. USE THEM.
-Anime? Honestly I think it sucks and the characters look really stupid. It's just more clutter for the brain.
-Staring at someone who doesn't want to make eye contact and smiling at them when passing in the hallway is fun. For some reason it makes them very very uncomfortable. Try it sometime.
-I don't understand people who just think they are all that and make a point to try and make sure everyone else thinks so as well. Know what? I really don't care, because you aren't, so get over it.
-If you go into a restroom and all stalls but one are empty, don't go in the one next to that person and for gods sake, wash your hands after you're done in there. Eww.
-You don't have to drink to have fun. Fun can actually happen without the booze. Try it sometime. The same goes for drugs.
-Don't bitch out the waiter/cook. They will spit in your food. Or worse.
-Remember to tip the waiter/driver. They may serve you again in the future...
-You don't *have* to get married. Spend the money on something useful.
-If you are 90 lbs overweight, yes the snakeskin pants do look like crap on you. Don't wear them.
-Animals do have feelings.
-It's amazing how many 'men' think they actually satisfy the women they are with. Wrong!
-People who kiss ass at work. Yes, we know what you are doing. Yes, we also think you are a loser.
-If I am in a quiet mood, then please stop talking to me. Argh.
-Money does not mean happiness. Being content with who you are and whom you are around matters more.
-Be nice to others.
-Learn to pay your bills on time. Don't blame your lack of responsibility on others.
-No, I'm not going to hell because of my beliefs. That is your belief. Too bad for you.
-If I don't talk to you at work, it's not because i have 'family problems' at home. It means I don't like your attitude. Now go away.
-Enjoying the beauty of a tree, a rock, or the clouds in the sky is not a weird thing. I can fully appreciate the beauty of the earth and you can't. I guess life really sucks for you.
-Extremely baggy pants and shirts actually look pretty stupid.
-Tube tops? Wtf? Eww.
-Dear person in the cube next to me: I don't care about your aura, spirit guide, or about the aliens that are going to abduct us all. Please let me do my work and listen to my cd's. Thank you.
-Racism is getting pretty old. Focus your energy on something else for once.
-Trying to impress me does not impress me at all.
-Sitting in the same room with me and watching tv does not count as 'quality' time together.

jeep! jeep! jeep!

beep! beep!

I registered for microcomp tech support courses for next semester. Only one of my previous classes transfered, but that's okay. That's still one less class that I have to take! I think I'm going to be in school for quite some time. Considering that I still have to do the work thing and also be a mom, it's going to be a long and painful process. But I will get through it!!!

Ted's dad died on Friday. Ted is a friend I've known for a long time, he even works for the same company as I do. Two weeks ago, his dad woke up and went to make coffee, but couldn't remember how. So he went to the doctor to see what was wrong. They found dark masses in his brain and a fist-sized tumor in his one lung (he was born with just one). They couldn't operate due to his health, so after a week in the hospital, he went home. He was in bed and very weak the entire week, then went to nap on Friday and never woke up. The funeral is tomorrow. It's really sad that he had to go like that, but I guess it's better to go fast than to suffer.
