Well, it's Friday...I got paid today (which is always a great thing)...I have to work a little overtime tomorrow, but that's no biggy. It's pulling files, so it'll be easy work...and as long as I've got my iPod, it'll go by quickly.

I'd work late tonight, however, Target is having huge baby sale and I'm dragging my boyfriend there tonight so we can look at baby crap and I actually have to go grocery shopping there, so I'll do that also. I was like "I'm sure the last thing you want to do on your Friday evening after work is go shopping for baby things" and he goes "Oh, it might be fun." haha...I'll show him fun...wait until we have to buy diapers and food and all that random stuff. It'll seem like such a waste...and oh so expensive. I don't think we'll start doing the baby registry until we know what it is (yay...Sept 26th...coming up so soon!)

I think I've allergies big time in the morning or something. I drive to work all congested, sneezing, watery eyes, the whole nine yards. I've never had allergies before and this is pissing me right the hell off. Can't I just be able to breathe!!??

Okay, enough procrastinating...really have to work now.

14-Pound, 13-Ounce Baby Sets Record

NORWICH, Conn. -- Marie Michel's fifth child was one for the record books.

Michels gave birth to a 14-pound, 13-ounce boy Tuesday at William W. Backus Hospital.

Backus officials said the newborn -- Stephon Hendrix Louis-Jean -- broke the 18-year record for the biggest baby ever born at the hospital by 1 pound, 13 ounces. He was nearly 23 inches long.

"He's built like a linebacker," said Dr. David Kalla, who delivered the baby by Caesarean section.

After nine months of carrying Stephon, 36-year-old Michel said she was happier about having finished giving birth than about all the attention her baby was receiving.

After nine months of carrying Stephon, 36-year-old Michel said she was more tired and happy to have given birth than all the attention her baby was receiving.

"I was miserable," Michel said. "I couldn't sleep at night. My 13-year-old son had to help me get in and out bed."

The baby's size came as no surprise to his mom. Michel's oldest son weighed 9 pounds at birth, her 8-year-old twin sons each weighed 81/2 pounds and her youngest son, age 3, was nearly 12 pounds.

Michel's husband, Vijens Louis-Jean, a truck driver, was coming from Florida to see his son.

Less than 24 hours old, the baby was fitting into clothes for a 6-month-old and was too big for newborn diapers.

"I have baby clothes but I don't think they will be able to fit," Michel said. "I think I will have to return them."

mood: euphoric :)

You know, I love catching people in the middle of lies. I practically do it all day at work and it gives me a sick sense of satisfaction knowing that someone is lying to me when I find out the truth.

For instance, I request missing documentation from people so we can get reimbursed for items by our client. WELL, this person calls me on the phone (granted, I send these requests via e-mail) and tells me that they would not be able to get the invoices I need from these HOA (Home Owner's Association) companies and that they never had to submit invoices before (LIE NUMBER ONE...we paid them twice before and I pulled the file, and low and behold, there were invoices in there).

SO, I get off the phone with her and I think things are square away...I get phone call number two, from the manager guy. He's like "I can't get those items for you. The HOA companies won't do it." blah blah blah he goes. SO, I went and talked the people who assign him listings at my work...they think it's BS and well, they were going to get rid of him. In the meantime, he e-mails someone else over on the other side and bitches about me (usual thing...me demanding something to get paid...people go to bitch to someone who they think will do something about it...WRONG)...so, to be a big bitch, I suppose, I called these HOA companies and told them about our business and why we needed invoices and asked whether or not they sent out monthly statements.

Every single company I called told me they either sent out monthly statements or they would be happy to generate a monthly statement based on the special circumstances (CAUGHT HIM IN LIE NUMBER TWO). Oh, it was so satisfying to snitch on him...felt fantastic actually.

I could give you thousands of instances where people tell me so and so company cannot get me an invoice/history of an account...I call so and so company and voila...I can get an invoice faxed to me in no time.

LIARS LIARS!!!!

AND, the coup de grĂ ce to the whole entire day today was some guy pretty much telling me to shove it. I had requested nicely a copy of an invoice, he wanted to argue with me about how he never had one, and then I responded with "How did you know that you needed to pay x amount of money?" he then responds with some BS answer and goes "why don't you make up an invoice then." SO, I reported him...I have no problem doing this. Why should I have to deal with assholes like that to get my job done? I have no problem tattling on those people. We'll see if he gets me what I need when I get manager involved...hehe

I'm such a bitch...but I love it...

I am probably the queen of procrastination or something. When my parents were out here at the end of July, they signed the title of my car over into my name and then it was mine...all so I could license it in the state of Colorado.

WELL, in order to do so, I need to have an emissions test done to get the state to approve my car...and, well...I was driving around and my tailpipe fell off. I can't very well get an emissions test without a tailpipe. They gave a two month temp permit to give me time to get repaired...expires October 2nd. Here I am, September 14th...still have not gotten a tailpipe put on my car and now I'm running out of time. I HOPE TO GOD I can find someone who will put just the tailpipe on and not want to replace the whole exaust system. My car is stupid...has two mufflers, insanely expensive to replace the exaust system. I seriously HATE my car because of these expensive repair bills....and it breaks down constantly.

But yeah, procrastinating on that...There's some other minor crap that I have to accomplish (i.e. cleaning the closet out of old clothes that really don't fit, sorting bags and boxes of stuff from when I moved at the beginning of August)...I'm just lazy! I'd rather sit around on the computer rather than do the laundry or sort boxes...lol...I wouldn't blame myself ya know!

Anyway, going to enjoy the rest of my lunch here at work. Gonna gulp down my cup-o-noodles and make myself some pb&j sandwiches and call it a day

Okay, I saw this news story and about peed my pants. WHAT IN THE HELL WAS THIS GUY THINKING???

'Penis' in microwave case is settled

Wednesday, September 13, 2006
By Ann Belser, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

The case of the "penis" in the microwave was settled this morning with an agreement on a disorderly conduct plea.

McKeesport Police Capt. Bryan Washowich said Leslye Creighton, 41, of Wilkinsburg, has agreed to take full responsibility for the incident in which she asked a clerk at a Get Go convenience store to warm up a penis-shaped device in the store's microwave.

When the object gave off an odor, the clerk checked on it and found what she thought was a real penis. She reported it to police.

Ms. Creighton agreed to plead guilty to disorderly conduct. Her companion in the case, Vincent Bostic, 31, of Pittsburgh, who was also charged, will have the case against him withdrawn.

The two entered the convenience store in February, asked the clerk to place the device in the microwave in order to bring the urine-filled device up to body temperature so Ms. Creighton could pass a drug test to get a job.

Mr. Bostic's attorney, William H. Difenderfer, said Mr. Bostic has agreed to replace the $425 microwave at the store in exchange for the charges being dropped against him.

Okay, after reading this...I can only think of two things

1) You know, if you're gonna try this hard to pass the drug test, you should have actually tried to do it the right way.

2) Why the hell would the clerk put it in the microwave? It looked like a penis yet you still put it in there...what the hell?

I think all the people involved were idiots.

WELL, it's nice to be home from work. Lately work has just been pissing me right the hell off.

I work in a tiny little cubicle doing my tiny litte accounting things...and it seems like I'm the only one that can help anyone! Granted, I am the customer service bitch, but still...that's for vendors, not the entire company. Sometimes I feel like I'm always the person that people go to get things done, or inquire about things, or bother...and I seriously can't get my shit done! If you were focused on a task and were constantly being interupted, I suppose you wouldn't get anything done either. My biggest pet peeve though...my job used to involve two people and we divided the work between the both of us...well, it got downsized into me...and well, I didn't realize that one person could do the job of two people in eight hours.

THEN, about a month ago...we got a new manager. Granted, she's a pretty cool lady...but she micromanages like nothing else. Our old manager trusted us to the point that she knew were getting our stuff done. This new lady is constantly in our face, auditing my desk constantly. It's really annoying...and she wonders why I don't get all my stuff done. She's always right there! She's trying to change how we do things and it gets on my nerves. I was happy with the way things were going before and so were all the other people...I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks can you?

In lighter news (it must sound like I'm angsty all the time...or I just like to bitch a lot)...I bought my ticket for Seattle today. Leaving October 19th (late in the evening) and getting back October 23rd. I'll at least get to settle down and visit on Friday and then on Saturday, my mom and my aunt are throwing me a baby shower (it's some what premature since I'm not due until January 17th...but the thought is what counts). I sent my mom a picture of my belly (since she really wanted to see how much I've grown) and she was telling me that she gets online to look at it every day because she knows her grandbaby is in there...if you ask me, she's going a little She also told me that I need to tell her what I'm having so she knows what color cupcakes to make and go shopping. Can you tell that this is the first grandbaby?
