tuesday

Somehow, I wanted to change the format of  this journal.   And somehow, I ended up creating another just like it.  I did manage to get to the location and delete the new one.    Thank goodness.

I am still being hounded from 8,000 miles away.   We call and the people assure us that we are off the hit squad list, but some individual will call and threaten to send us to a collection agency.   Over $25 no less.   After much research I found the name, address, and corporate phone number.   After talking to a knowlegable man, he assures me that he will take care of it.   I gave him the phone numbers of the harassers.   I think  it will work because he told me I could call him back if it was still a problem.......................

I bought some tickets for the power ball.  And I am 2 polls at work.    What would I do with all that money......I guess the best would be to divide it among my relatives.   That would be nice and fair.    If it is in my karma I will win.....................

 

Tuesday

I wish when they came up with these fonts, they had put the title in the style that is listed.  Actually, they look about  the same.   I couldn't past a font test if I tried.   This is the third and actually I can see the difference on this.

I was oncall last evenig.  The day was uneventful.   I actually fell asleep about 9 and slept until 4:15 in the am. 

At that time OB called and had me decrease the dosage on the epidural pump.   They were kind, they made me coffee.   When you don't have surgar you can use those artifically flavored creamer and it will be sweet.  No one called off today and I was home free.

I live with two people who are cantalope inept.   Last week I bought two cantalopes.   I told them they could slice and eat them.   They haven't been cut while I was gone.   I guess I should have an inservice on cutting and scooping out seeds.   

I did it this morning.  Next I guess I will have to feed it to them too.   I guess all they can do is open bags.  Or pop frozen entrees in the microvwave.

Getting a dye test on 2327 today.   This house is beginnging to feel like an albatross.

Monday

Today is my daughters birthday.   She is 23 on the 23rd.   She doesn't know it yet but, we are going to the Stones.    She had wanted to get the tickets for her birthday.  So early on Saturday I went on line and got the tickets.  It was for the peanut gallery.   It only took me 7 minutes and I got them.   It is also on the side that is the way out.    Hopefully, we will get out in a timely manner.     She asked if I got them and I told her I forgot, and I know she was dissapointed.   Hopefully, she will be happier this evening.   

She needed a surprise on her birthday.   Tomorrow I am oncall and the other two have off.......   Hope it is an OJK call...I have decided when they strt doing hearts I am quiting call...........

Sunday

What a beautiful day, today is.   I am odds with download things.   To work on changing the journal, I have determined that you ned Java.   I downloaded it but I couldn' get it to install.    Even with the instructions it wouldn't.   Guess I will get a book at the library to try to help.

Daughter is gone for the day.  One of her good friends has graduated and is leaving for Portland.   After this summer session I hope I can say she graduated too.   I found this article and it seems to set the theme for todays youth:                   USATODAY.com  

 It seems to me that everyone wants to be paid as a brain surgeon.   No one wants to work hard and move ahead all they want to do is been there at the top.  
And, heaven forbid, delay gratification.

 

 

Saturday

Saturday, another week gone by.  I got a lot of stuff done, and really nothing to show for it.   I was on the site for changing your journal and nothing would load.  Guess I will try it today. 

Saw the latest and greatest Star Wars.   Did not get home till 12:30 and then had trouble falling asleep.   Thinjk it had something to do with the cup of coffee I had at 6pm.   The Star Wars was good.   Now I feel that I need to see the first 3.     They are around here on VHS somewhere.   I get bored with sitting in my house watching anything on the television.  I guess there is antsy-ness factor involved in doing that.  

The project for today is trying to get ticket for the Rolling Stones.  I bet I don't get them and they are gone in 10 minutes.   I always wanted to see a rock concert,  some how I feel I have had a deprived life  I never had a birthday party and never went to a rock concert.   I guess the factor in that was the fact that there was never any money.   I grew up poor and early in my life  decided that I didn't want to be poor.  I think I haave accomplished my goal.  I think it was the same with Chuck......I will ask him.......

Back to work on Monday.   I hear a lot about people who work for 30 years ad get some fantastic pension.   I wish they would have an RN buyout and we could both retire.   But that will never happen in this life time.

 

ONLY IN AMERICA

Only in America can I be harassed by someone 8,000 miles away.  This is about you, AOL.  About a month ago we switched to DSL.   After a call to AOL to find out how to switch, and because we are faithful customers for 8 years we were offered a rate of $14.95 per month.  

After 2 weeks it was noted that there was now an offer of $9.95/ month.  I called and inquired about it and after that I was told that there would be a penality of $25.   I told the woman to forget the $9.95 and she should have mentioned that at the begining and saved us both a lot of time and evergy.  Don't worry I will take care of it.   

Now I am being billed and verbally harrassed , on the phone. by Alice (8,000 miles away) about this $25.   Then she states she can't talk to me because I am not the person on the account....................Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.   I guess knowing the code word doesn't account for anything.   When I asked her how many times do I need to call and try to get this resolved...................SHE HANGS UP ON ME.

Well,  I have been charged one month penalty on my Charge Card,   This time I will attempt to call customer service.   Also 8,000 miles away.   The man was very nice and after much explanation and profuse  appolgies he tells me it has been taken care of.   I HOPE SO lEON.......... Come to think of it, last week my husband spoke to Emily who also assured him that it was taken care of........   Only time will tell on this one.  

But I do have Alices phone number and if this fails I will post it on the internet...................

 

Tuesday

Another day gone.   The realtor called and she had an open house for realtors.    The opinion is that it is priced AT LEAST  $10,000 too high.   Give me a break.   You lower the priced 10K and then how much further down do you go??????   They said (the sages) that the kitchen needs updated.    And my question is whatever happened the idea that we will buy it and fix it up?????   The house is 60 years old, of course it could use a new kitchen.   But the one it has is servicable.  And it looks nice, not trashy.   If they want everything perfect let them buy a new custom made house.......I am feeling a little antagonistic about this............My friend Marie came up with a good idea.   Bury St Joseph.    I will go and look for him tomorrow...

Everything is going good with Emily and her classes,  at least I hope so.   I have the feeling if everything appears to be going well, I have overlooked something.........I hope not............
