Yes, you guys are fantastic. You're getting exercise, you're not polluting with a car, etc. HOWEVER, I constantly find that people who ride their bikes on the road think that they can ride their bikes like cars. In most cases, this is fine. You ride with the traffic, you stay off to the side...hell, sometimes there's even a bike lane just for you...BUT, this morning, I was driving to work and this biker comes flying down this hill and turns out on the road right in front of me...basically cutting me off.

One, if a car did that, we would most certainly get into a whole lot of trouble. There's a stop sign at the bottom of that hill and said biker flew right through the stop sign. If I went through a stop sign and there was a cop sitting there, you can guarantee my ass would have been pulled over.

Two, he flew out of the side street right into the middle of the road. If I were going a little faster, said biker would have been splatted all over the road. Whose fault would it have been? Most likely mine because bikers are like pedestrians and I was probably the one who was wrecklessly driving *rolls eyes*.

You know, if you're riding your bike and you're riding on the street like a car, you should be treated like a car. Yeah, I would probably feel bad if I hit a biker because they were biking like an ass, but you better believe that I wouldn't back down if they tried to sue me. I give bikers the same respect that I do people on motocycles. I treat them with more caution than I would a regular car. I always give motorcyclists at least a car or two distance between us because if something bad were to happen, believe me, that motorcyclist would be hurting worse if I were tailgating him or something. Bikers, I give them some distance if I cannot drive around them, however, when the chance comes to pass them, I at least get in the the next lane over or something to give them space. I don't want to hit them...

PLEASE, if I don't want to hit you, please don't make it so it's so easy for me to hit you...share the road...it's for your safety.

Well, I thought I was gonna be able to stop at the mailbox before work. I went to find my damn stamps and I could not locate them. Pissed me off...by the time I got out the door, it was already 6:40. I'm driving out of the apartment complex only to realize that I think I left my phone at home...SON OF A BITCH...so I turn around, go back in the house, realize that the phone was not on the desk where I thought I left it, and then I went back out to the car. There my phone is...in my purse...hiding from me because I checked there before. SO, I finally end up tearing out of my apartment complex at 6:45. Needless to say, I was late to work...ugh

Now that I'm hear at work, I can seriously feel like I don't want to be here at work. A sense of loathing and disgust for this place...really sucks. I am starting to regret not coming to work this weekend like I wanted to. I really should have come even though I was in the ER Friday night/Saturday morning. I at least would feel semi-caught up.

DAMMIT DAMMIT! Okay...I'm gonna go now. Maybe I'll have something more positive to say later. I may have converted someone to world of warcraft...hehe...now when will I have time to play?

I finally finished reading Harry Potter (it took me longer than I wanted) and all in all, I think it was a good book. Great way to finish out the series of books...that's all I'm gonna say.

UMMMM...I really don't have a whole lot to say other than on Friday, I spoke with my manager about my disgust with working where I am right now and I was seriously contemplating quitting period. She asked me if it was me just quitting because I didn't want to work at all or quitting because I didn't want to work for our company. I told her that it was specifically for our company. I shouldn't have to wake up in the morning dreading going to work. Sometimes I sit at work and want to get up and leave and not come back. Sometimes I just wish to die altogether that way I don't have to ever go back to work. They're horrible feelings and I don't want to feel that way, but I told her that that was how I felt...

She was telling me that they moved the girl that was working in my area to another area in accounting because she didn't want to see her just up and quit because they noticed that she was unhappy. I told her why is it that I'm unhappy yet I won't ever get moved somewhere else in the department. I get to stay where I'm at because I'm unhappy. I don't think it's fair at all...

In other news, I made a trip to the emergency room last night...again. This was for my reoccurring back pain that will not go away. It started last night at about 2am and I got up and took some percocet hoping to make it go away and it just ended up making it worse. I couldn't even get up it hurt so bad. I didn't want to go to the ER, but it was so excruciating, I could not stand it. We went there and I was in the little hospital gown and they came in and talked to me about some random stuff and they told me they'd probably get me started on an IV in a little bit, but to wait for the doctor. She leaves, I'm telling Brian that I feel like I'm going to throw up (I've been saying this for about an hour already). Well, 5 minutes later, I end up throwing up EVERYTHING in the trash. The minute I threw up and got rid of everything, I immediately felt 100% better. The first time I went to the ER for this, they gave me a CT scan and found nothing wrong...the second time I went, they did a CT scan and a chest x-ray and found nothing wrong. Both times, they sent me home with vicodin...I don't want to be hooked on oxycodone, so I never filled the last prescription. This time, they think that we've been going on the wrong track the whole time...I may have severe acid reflux and that can cause severe back pain. I had to drink some cocktail of liquid lidocaine, maalox and something else before I left the hospital. It tasted like SHIT. I have a prescription for prevacid now...so we'll see how that works. If the prevacid works, then he said that I could take some over the counter antacids like Zantac or crap like that.

UGH...busy times.

Greg and I might go to Elitch's tomorrow with Melissa (pyrogrrl12), but it all depends on how her dad is doing. Greg and I could do without going to Elitch's, but it would be fun to see him riding on the rides...OH, Elith's is what we call Elitch Gardens (which used to be a Six Flags...and before it was a Six Flags, it was Elitch Gardens and it was located somewhere else other than downtown)...

This is one damn funny clip...

Let me start me list here...

I really want...

1) a beer (yum yum)
2) to go to a concert...in England
3) be at peace when I go home
4) have my phone send/receive my text message (ALL THE TIME)
5) to go on a small vacation (some of you know where...hehe)

Those are really the 5 things that I really want to do right now. I am assuming that I'm going to be able to have a beer tomorrow, so that works for me :) Who knows, I might be able to have a beer tonight...it all depends on if Gregory gets to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's house tonight. If he's staying there tonight, I'll have the whole evening to have a yummy YUMMY beer. Tomorrow, Melissa (pyrogrrl12) are going to go to some Rock Bottom food tasting event and ususally, they should pair those with beer...yummy ROCK BOTTOM beer :)

In regards to me going to a concert, why is it that only the good bands (in my opinion) play in Europe and never come to the states? My favorite guitar player of all time (Graham Coxon - former guitar player for Blur) only plays in Europe...smart guy, I suppose. Before I die, I want to see him at least once. He's just so amazing and wonderful!

The third, being at peace when I get home. Ah...for once, I'd like to just sit down and relax and not have to worry about Gregory being pissed off and screaming at the top of his lungs...not worrying about how dirty my kitchen is...not wanting to go in the bathroom and scream my head off. It would be absolutely nice.

The fourth is in regards to my text messages...I sent some last night and they didn't get there for almost 2 hours...what the hell is that? It's fucking screwy if you ask me! Now, I'm sending some this morning...and I don't know if they're going through or not. It's nervewracking...you constantly think "Is it something I said?" BUT NO...it's my damn phone (or service) or something...

THEN, #5...the best of all...I just need to get away. Not to Washington (where my family is), not to anywhere else with my family...just myself. I need to get away from life and all that. It will be FOREVER nice....

BUT, I have to get back to work...

I constantly find myself asking myself this EVERY SINGLE DAY. I do not know what it is. I can't seem to escape it either. I come to work and they're everywhere...I go home, and it's not necessarily at home that there are stupid people...but places I go...stupid drivers, etc.

UGH...

You know, I'm at work this morning...why? I've been here since 5am...is my job really worth all this BS? Probably not, but I still do it...I must be a masochist or something.

I'm already running on mostly empty because I was up at midnight on Friday night waiting in line for my Harry Potter book. We went there around 6pm and I checked in and got my wrist band. Unfortunately, I was in the 3rd wave of people that would get to buy the book. I think it was close to damn near 1am when I finally got my book and I was just tired as all hell. Gregory, for some reason, was up at 2am just playing. I think we fucked his sleep up that day or something because he's been ornery and unruly here the past few nights...ugh...

Since I'm here at work, I've not had a lot of time to read the book like I wanted to. I've only gotten to pay 300 so far and I should be MUCH MUCH further. DAMMIT...

Anyway, I better get back to work so I can try and get out of here by atleast 1pm this afternoon.
