I got stuck in the shit shift of graveyard last night. At least things went by quickly for a change. I hate changing sale tags. By the end of my shift my feet are killing me, I've had too many coffee and energy drinks followed by being wired for the next few hours until I might be able to crawl back into bed and sleep until 2 or 3PM. It makes for a crappy day of feeling like you got nothing accomplished. At least I got the federal taxes done for another year. Tomorrow I'll get the state finished up. Too much fun I tell you. I finally got my level 2 management training done...YIPPEEE!! All I have to do now is finish some paperwork then I will be a supervisor (PIC). It means working some later shifts, but it will also get me out of some of the shitty departments that I despise working in. And I get a big jump in pay. That helps. And here is a picture of some of our snow up on the hills to our east. This was early morning just before everything below 500 feet started to get snow. I enjoy just taking in some of the views we have around here. Drive 15 minutes in any direction and you could either be hiking in the mountains, exploring breathtaking waterfalls or strolling on the beach. I sometimes could kick myself for not taking more time to do some of those things. I try to get into the great outdoors at least once every few months. Living in such a diverse environment, you can sometimes lose your appreciation for it. Maybe I'll have to take some vacation time in the spring and just go enjoy life. Possibly, I'll remember what kind of paradise I really live in.1/30/08
Just Another Day in Paradise...

I Think I Was Missed....or He Was Just Bored
This is what happens when the hubby gets bored during my absence. If you can't see it well, click the image to make it larger. I took the picture a few months ago using the mirror to see the display. I was bored before work one day. This wasn't one of my favorites, but he found it while downloading some other pictures off the camera, I forgot they were even there. He photoshopped it to get it B&W then added the effects to it. I thought it came out great. He emailed it to me while I was out of town. I got home and it was our new desktop picture as well. I think he might have missed me a little bit.

I'm Not Dead
I will be gone for the next week and a 1/2. But I am not dead. I will be on a business trip, my first to be exact. I will be working in Silverton Ore., staying in Sublimity Ore. and trying to visit a few of the sights while I'm there. I may go to the Oregon Garden and visit some of the several museums in the area. I don't think I'll make the trek down to Silver Falls, hopefully Beaver Boy and I will make that trip this summer. It is a beautiful area and I will enjoy my time, but this is the first time I will have been away from the hubby for this long in years. That part will be hard. He will probably enjoy the freedom, a new strip club opened up in Oceanside, maybe he'll go check it out. Doubt it, but if my step-dad comes down, he may not get a choice. Well, I got to finish packing and getting things in order around here. I'll take the camera and try to get some pictures from the area. Try not to miss me too much.

My Own PSA......We Are Surrounded
IDIOT SIGHTING :
We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a "large" enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's not." Four is larger than two.." We haven't used Sears repair since.
IDIOT SIGHTING My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, "you gave me too much money." I said, "Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back." She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said "We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing." The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.
IDIOT SIGHTING :
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."
From Kingman , KS .
IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE:
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce. From Kansas City
IDIOT SIGHTING:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledg e, how would I know?" He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask."
Happened in Birmingham , Ala.
IDIOT SIGHTING :
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?!" She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS <>
IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the company due to "downsizing." Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often." Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare
This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.
IDIOT SIGHTING :
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip b ack into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.
A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office, no less.
IDIOT SIGHTING :
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "its open!" His reply, " I know. I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , Mississippi
STAY ALERT!
They walk among us... and the scary part is that they VOTE and REPRODUCE!!!
