3 Day Weekend!

I'm so excited about this three day weekend! I don't believe I've ever looked forward to an extra day off this much. Work is just too darn stressful lately. I'm grouchy and tired, I guess this is what real work is! I shoulda known I wouldn't get to just sit around and just makes ads, that would be too much fun! My problem? People keep getting fired and I keep getting their jobs! I am now doing what three people did two months ago. Another person is leaving in 3 weeks, on their own accord and there's talk of me taking over that job. I about hit the roof. I wonder just how many jobs they think I can do, all I can say is if I do get stuck with this new job they better take away some of the others. I might actually even tell them no if they bother to ask me if I'll do it. Problem is they rarely ask. The last job I was 'assigned' is working on the computers, dealing with network problems crap like that. I told them over and over I don't know how to do that stuff, but yet here I am every day fighting with something I don't know how to fix. I guess since I could add printers and fix printer jams and change inks they actually thought I was qualified to run a network. WELL that's the furthest thing from the truth I've ever heard. People go to school for years to learn that stuff. Usually when I have to do something I don't know I play 'hit or miss' sometimes it's right sometimes I mess up. Well you can't pay 'hit or miss' with an office network. A mess up becomes a huge castrophe, not something you can go back and erase. However despite my repeated pleas I'm still stuck with it. I adamantly stand behind my 'I'm not qualified nor do I know how to do this statement' and hopefully when I crash the whole system they'll actually remember I said that and maybe by some wince of a miracle they'll listen to me in the future.

 

*takes deep breath* Geez that was quite a rant there! All I was gonna do was say YAY about a long weekend. hehe, If you're still reading this I appreciate your patience!

 

Sam doesn't have a long weekend but at least we still have our regular weekend and he'll be home until three on Monday so that's some extra time with him. We are having a big turkey dinner on Sunday with all the fixings and I really can't wait for that! We will also be continuing our Queer as Folk marathon. I bought season's one and two on DVD a few weeks ago. Got them both for 70 dollars which I thought was a great deal. We never saw it on TV because we don't get movie channels, but my best friend had taped the last season for us so we got to see that and we both liked it, so when I saw such a good price on the first two seasons I grabbed them up!

 

I expect my new story will start posting one week from today. And hold onto your seats it's not named by it's main character!! The official title is "Unbreakable Faith" a HUGE thanks to Sharon for that title by the way!!

 

Well I guess that's all I have to say for now. I have to start getting ready for work. Have a great Friday everyone.

Ooooh, Queer as Folk is aweeeesssooommmmeee!! Glad you're liking it!

 

Also, you need to kick ass at work and tell them to stop giving you other peoples jobs unless they plan on giving you those other people's wages too! Or tell them I'll come and kick their butts...don't laugh I so could :P

 

:hugs: enjoy the three day weekend!

Hey Vance! :D

 

Awww man! That really sucks about all that junk at work :( . Ben's right, they need to lay off on the extra work or lay on some serious extra money!

 

YAY for you three day weekend! :D:2thumbs:

 

I've always wanted to see Queer as Folk, but I've still never seen a single episode! Sounds good from what I hear though! :)

 

Take care and I'll talk to you ....well now actually :P:boy:

Hey Vance!!!

 

It sounds like you are being kept busy at work. That can be good and bad in my experience. It definitely makes for good job security when you can do multiple jobs at the same company. But the downside is what you are experiencing now.

 

I guess the biggest deciding factor is how much you like the job.

 

 

Yeah QAF is a great show :D Although I watched it really in a messed up kind of way. I got my satellite dish halfway through season 5. I had never seen the show before. So I watched the last half of season 5 first. Then the first repeats were from season 5, So I then got to see the first half of season 5. Then they started running reruns, and the first season they show is 5. Then they start showing season 4 from the beginning. Then they went to season 3. Then back to 5 again.

 

So I have seen season 5 multiple times now, season 4 once and season 3 once. I am patiently waiting for them to rerun seasons 1&2, But they are taking their time :/

 

 

Turkey sounds good! I have one in the freezer from last thanksgiving/christmas I have been meaning to thaw and cook, But I just haven't found a good time yet.

"Unbreakable Faith?" Damn - I was rooting for Moe. 0:)

Moe? That's a bit frightning. Better then Billy Joe Bob, I guess...just barely, though.

 

Ooh, lots of work? Not fun. I'm so happy I don't have to do that kind of stuff yet. I do hate when people assume you'll be able to do something without any qualifications. It's happened to me last year with math (they stuck me in math for a higher grade, cause there was no more room in any of the math classes for my grade). First couple weeks of the semester were impossible. After that I started getting A's..my mind is strange that way.

 

 

Congratulations on finishing Cameron! I really enjoyed it. It saved me from boredom many a'time.

 

 

 

Yay for Queer As Folk...I've seen two episodes of it, and that's it. It seems like a great show, though. I like the sense of humour in it...
