I went back to my old neighborhood, and though much had changed, it was still very much the same... My girl is 14 now, and is long-legged, healthy and fairly happy for a teenager. She's in regular schooling once again, after going to a special school for kids with extreme learning disabilities. She started Grade 6 with a kindergarten to grade 1 reading level, and after 2 yea
Merry Christmas, Mason! Hope you get a chance to relax and enjoy some quiet time. Best wishes for the remainder of the year, and a safe and happy upcoming New Year. Nicky
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Jill. It has been awhile since I have logged in, too. Just came 'round to see who is still posting. I miss our old crew, yet it is good to hear that you and your family are doing well. My girl, Kole, is at an intermediate/secondary school this year, and so far seems to be loving it. Teenagers, though. Twice the noise and angst! Take care and have fun! It really goes so fast! Nicky
Whatever problem I had with Joeuser in regards to accessibility no longer stands. Once I started using a new computer, all the certificate issues, slowness, and inability to log in has disappeared. Weird. So, a lot has changed since the last time I wrote. The only thing left to be done in my new house is the second kitchen, and some touch up on the ceiling where it was opened up for re-wiring. I quit my job moments before I would have gotten laid off; luckily I
I dig Lost, Heroes, What Not To Wear, Holmes on Homes, and Jon & Kate + 8, at least before all this scandal....
If bars were no longer able to allow their patrons to smoke, I suspect a whole lot more people would be going to Canada in my city, we are no longer allowed to smoke in public places: no bars, shopping malls, restaurants, and a ban on smoking with minors in the car has just been passed as well. People tried to get away with it the first couple of months but with hundred+ dollar fines for the individual and a 5 th
It's been more than 2 months, and me and my girl are still living in one room, waiting for construction to end. We are close to being finished; a coat of primer, a couple more gallons of paint, and some odd jobs to finish, and then the main bedroom will be finished. The kitchen is next, and afterwards, more painting. It's been odd to be living out of a suitcase for so long. Odd enough that I feel like I could simply haul the still-packed boxes straight to the dump and not mi
I've uttered this somewhere else today, but it's suitable here, too. Take it easy. send me your mailing address again? stopsonadimeatyahoodotcom love nicky
I'm with Cacto: ignorance is bliss in a situation like this. take it easy. nic
I'm in training again, this time for Tier 2 Tech Support. 8 bloody weeks of boredom, confirmed. My best friend at work just completed the training, and said that she felt as prepared going back on the phones as I am right now, just brand new to book training. How messed up does the company have to be in order to hear a sentence like that? I'm no member of the Mensa Society, but when training for something as large but focused as tech support for Blackberry, you
thanks everybody! yes, it's definitely a relief, and totally cool. I'll post some pictures eventually, the before and after. We've got some work to do, but for the most part, it's all cosmetic. It's totally ready to move in right now, but we definitely want to add our own touches to the place.
So, the paperwork and a billion other things that had to be done before it was all done is over and we get the keys in 14 days. Yes, my sister bought a house this month and I'm moving, too. It's a cute little wartime house on the end of a quiet dead end street. Central, and with an actual backyard. 2 bedrooms on the main floor and 2 do
I've not quite moved up in the company, but rather, across. I still get paid the same, but instead of taking call after monotonous call as a csr does (That's c ustomer s ervice r ep, of course), I help with the training of newbies. I'm not yet an RL (Which is a R elationship L eader [ who the hell knows why it's called that ]) but I'm
Kole and I just talked about costumes yesterday. She wants to be a Ghostbuster. I said I'd go as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Ha!
[quote] all ya really need is love, baby![/quote] simple, but true. Been thinking about you, glad to see things are going well, and that you are continuing on with your new and healthier "addictions" running and jumping... sounds like a definitely positive rush!
[quote]I think i left part of my soul behind in the last tech support job i did.[/quote] I totally feel desensitized. It's hard for me to get worked up about the worked up.
[quote] Mad Max - Beyond Thunder Dome, I've not been able to get the idea out of my head of it being a great stage musical. Crazy, huh?[/quote] Not at all! I can definitely see it. As far as the weather goes, it's been one glorious summer so far. A lot of humid days followed by a lot of spring-like days with the occasional perfect summer weather day sprinkled about. Good times!
[quote]if you do, wear an idiot filter.[/quote] yeah, you know it. I can handle the idea that some people simply don't get math and therefore have problems wrapping their heads around prorated charges, etc., but after they respond with 'it's a t-mobile phone' to me enquiring about what it looks like, and their answer is 'it's black', I know it's going to be a waste of time...
I took off early from work today in order to go back and work at my other job. I've got three jobs now, not just a full time and a part-time gig. The third is part-time as well, and isn't exactly in critical mode, except for when an emergency arises and I have to scramble to get into action. Usually, the third job is just plugging away with spreadsheets and can be done in my spare time. Both my part time gigs are almos
Sure beats posting it here and getting’ nothin’ but a crummy smiley for it. you always make me smile! miss you!
what a list. I don't know where I would factor in, if you had to set me into a variety of categories. Reminds me of the job questionaires that make you check of certain attributes with a number in order of importance. They just kept going around and around in circles, and you'd want to lie to make yourself look good, or less crazy, but you'd finally just give in and say wtf during the last portion and make it real honest. Who knows how that tips the scales?
Kole's in charge of recycling, and she does it quite well. We only put out a full garbage bag once every 2 weeks, and she's into composting now. I think this is a competitive thing that she's got going on: she tries to not throw anything away, and our house is actually getting much cleaner because she's very good with paper products! "Mom, do you really need to keep this? and out go my beloved magazines, newspapers, and notes from work. Her last day of school is tomorrow.&n
7 Down. I was expecting this earlier... she's a pretty girl, and she rocked driving the tow truck. I didn't think she was going to do much but wear little.
[quote]As for religion:[/quote] haha. yeah. that's pretty much the big reason why i'm unconvinced. Hey! miss you!
