Monthly Archives: December 2003

Ever since I finally got my ass out of bed this morning, I have just working, working working. Even taking the guys out to lunch felt like I was working. **sigh** and there is still stuff to do and it’s all paperwork, which sucks. I’m not liking the fact that my work life is starting to look like my personal life. That’s why I come to work, is to get away from my personal life.
O.K. time to put in 2 more hours of work in

Woke up two hours late at 7am and proceeded to stay on hold for 2.5 hours until I had to get ready for my manager’s meeting.
After the meeting, called AT&T and tried using my headset, so my neck wouldn’t hurt. However the headset was being too flaky. Tried calling a different number and actually got through to someone, who I had cancel my first web order. Then I proceeded to go back to the website and reorder the phone, which was good, because I actually got it for free this time. Time will tell if I will actually get the phone or if I will have to go through the same hoops over again.
Still planning on ordering the replacement phone from the auction place, just to make sure I get a phone. Meh, we’ll see what happens. All I know is that I need to get a phone soon.
Also got my Secret Santa gift from the company Xmas party that I didn’t goto. A bottle of Champagne and a Xmas cane with a Xmas Tigger on top. Pretty cool.
Went with Barbara and Laura to Laura’s daughter, Kirsten winter concert at Skyline. The concert was alright; both Barbara and I were yawning during the classical parts. Mainly because neither one of us has gotten much sleep in the last couple of days.
O.K. the rain is coming down now. I def. think that I will starve instead of going out to get food. Will just wait until I get home to have some rice and whatever else I cook.

I am so pissed off with AT&T right now. I am about to goto sleep right now (**o.k. this was 30 min ago before I got sucked into searching the police auction site) so that I can wake up at 5am in the morning in an attempt to talk to someone in their customer service dept. Grrrr. I don’t want to but I think that I am ready to jump ship to another company. Except that I have heard bad things about all of the rest of the companies. Well, I am watching two phone on the police auction site that are the same make has my old one. One is shipping from New York, but I just might wait a couple of days and get the one shipping from L.A., although I guess either one would get here about the same time. I just hope that they actually work if I do go ahead and get one of them.
Have other stuff to post, but will wait until work tomorrow to do it.

I forgot that I did some journaling on Xanga. Have to figure out a way to import those entries into the rest of my current journal

Feeling alot better now. Just finished eating dinner from a Japanese
restaurant in town. The beef teriyaki was a bit tough; however the chicken was good and the side salad had some kind of vinegar sauce that I liked. The tempura was good and not fried too deeply and the miso soup was excellent. A bit pricey, esp for the side of tempura, but the food was good and I think it is the best of all the Asian places in town that I have gone to so far.

Body is feeling not so sore and all the cold/flu signs are gone. Which is good, cause I have alot on my plate next week at work. Just don’t hope that I relapse or anything. Going to pull out my scarf and gloves just to make sure.

Currently washing all of my white clothes. Actually, I am super washing them. I soaked them for an hour, and then did a prewash, and then a regular wash with a double rinse cycle to help get rid of all the bleach that I used (Oh yeah, I bleached the hell out of them.) The point is to try and clean all of my shirts with yellow arm pit stains in them. I hate wearing them and I want to get rid of them. But I’m not sure if the Goodwill Store will take clothes with stains like that. Well, we’ll see how clean the clothes get and maybe I’ll just dump the clothes that I don’t want on some homeless person on the street or something.

AT&T finally sent me an email saying that my card got declined and to give them a call. Declined my ass; I haven’t used my card in a week
because I wanted to make sure that there was money in there for the phone that I wanted. Have a feeling that they are not going to give me the phone that I want at the price that I want. Well, while surfing around I found a auction site for police
processions and they have several of the same type of phone that I have for $5-10. So I think that I will just order one of those to last me through March and then cancel AT&T and search for a new company. I don’t want to search because I have heard that the other companies have bad coverage here in SF. Blah I say.

In the mood to play with my web cam, but it seems that the cam somehow got unplugged (I blame one of the cats). I am too comfy in my blankets to go digging under the desk to replug it, so no webcam tonight. Guess I will try to finish Serious Sam: 2nd Encounter or try reading one of my books.

O.K., now it is really starting to suck not having a phone to use. I’m wondering about my dad since he is out on the East coast on business. I think he is suppose ot fly out this weekend, but I wonder if he is snowed in.
I have a calling card around here somewhere. I need to find it or goto the store and buy a new one.
Body still feels sore; throat problems have turned into nasal problems. The nose is moist, but it is not running or blocked. Hopefully it will stay that way.

The answer was starring me right in the face. I mean it was literally right in front of my face. God, I am so dense and stupid sometimes. Has my Dad likes to say, “If it was a snake, it would have bitten you by now.”

Still, finding the answer is one thing; dissecting it and learning from it is a totally different thing.

Also realized that I will never be able to completely fix all of the broken links and pictures in the entries that I imported from Livejournal. Some of the sites that I linked to have gone under and pictures were lost when my hard drive crashed. And does everything need to be linked? Like for my friends, maybe I could do just a hover link that says who they are. Something to ponder on, I guess.

Anyway, I feel like crap still. Stayed home and rested and flooded my body with fluids and Vitamin C. I should be asleep, however the Nyquil hasn’t kicked in yet. Mom was once again right when she told me to get a flu shot. Did I listen? Of course not. And now, it it too late to get one.

Well, I guess I will turn off the computer and lights and try to goto sleep.
