I wish you could hear the tone of voice I am typing in!

We had a meeting with "The Big Boss" today, at this meeting I found out a couple of things...


1. I am starting all the trouble in the office, it has nothing to do with the new people (who we will call dumb and dumber for now) and their lack of work ethics, the fact that he has yet to do but 2 of his assigned jobs, or the fact that ANY job she has attempted she has failed at...it has nothing to do with the fact that "The Big Boss" has so little trust in her that after nearly 2 months she doesn't trust her to run the office for 2.5 hours ( I worked there for a week and a half and they left me to run the place for 3 hours when my direct supervisor went to a meeting) so Friday we will be closing at Noon.

2. I also found out that they are never going to get fired. I guess "The Big Boss" is too afraid of getting sued that she is going to lose the only decent employees that she has, because the rest of us are going to end up quitting ( I know of at least 1 man, maybe 2 and 1 woman looking for jobs if you know of any...I would be willing to give all a great reference). I tried to quit today and she took it as me wanting to cut my hours so I could spend time with my kids (which would be a great bonus) so at this point I figured OK and went with it...I told her if we were going to transition her to my job and have me be the "project girl" then we should start the transition, that way when I leave at 12:30ish, people would not get uprooted from what they were doing each day and have to cover my job. I figure this might help her to see how this woman really is and how little work she actually does (oh who am I kidding?)

3. I found out that I am now leaving work between 12 and 1 everyday...at my own discretion ( that part I kinda like)

4. I also found out I will be kinda doing my own thing and as long as I am getting her "projects" done I am kinda on my own ( another part that doesn't suck)

5. I found out that loyalty means nothing to "The Big Boss", the Manager, who has been there for 4 years and the head maintenance man who has been there for between 5 and 6 years, both of whom have never had a problem with a co-worker, tried to explain what these people have been up to, and "The Big Boss" took dumb and dumber's word as much as she took the peoples word that have worked with/for her for such a long period of time. So why ( I ask you) should we have any kind of loyalty to her?


Then end of meeting we all had our jobs threatened, had to lie and say we would all get along from here on out and shake hands (I used so much hand sanitizer after touching him it took half of one of the trial size bottles...YUCK)

WOW....Free Disneyland Tickets

I just signed up my whole family check out my friend Taryn's blog it has all the detail's and the link to the site of where to sign up...

WOW...

speaking of co-workers and how I strongly dislike 2 of mine I just found out her hubby is up to some serious no goodness check out Daniel's last blog...intresting huh...did you click on the 2 links he put!? I belive one is Jackass and the other is very sleepy wife...all this on a day when I went home early because of this stupid head cold I have...from now on I don't care who I infect I am not leaving early ( all the good stuff happens when I do) the last time I left early the old cow fell asleep at her desk, this time we find out the old cow and the donkey ( looks like we got a farm going here) are scamming the boss...

I'm sick and pissed!!!

I came to work damn near on time today, I am tired of getting to work an hour or more early and working twice as hard as the moron who is now supposed to be one of my bosses and not getting any credit for it, in fact in a staff meeting on friday I was berated for my lack of work, turns out the new bitch has been taking credit for the work I have done all the while she was comming late and leaving early and taking naps the times she was here, so I have decided to play like a 5 year old again and let her fall on her old wrinkly ass. I am going to get to work by 9 maybe right at 9 maybe 5 min. till but no earlier than that! I am going to do the work in my job duties ONLY, if her shit doesn't get done then let it look bad on her, not on me...I am sick and tired of people using me for what I have or what I can do, The stuff I have, I have because my husband works 7 days a week, to care for his family, it's not my fault yours won't get off his lazy ass and do something, and the stuff I can do at work is because I took the time to learn what I was doing, I did not nap at my desk, I did not leave early and come in late, I did not call off 2 times in my first 2 weeks...Infact the first time I missed work here EVER was on monday Sept. 15th and that was because I never work on that day i always end up to sad and crying at my desk and going home early, so it is just not worth it....so here I am at 9:51 am with nothing on my job duties list that needs to be done ( except filing, but we will get to that in a later blog) so I thought I would post a blog...now that I am done I am off to either myspace or webkinz....Have a good day all

4 years...

I woke up this morning with a feeling of dread and it took me a minute to remember why...it's September 15th...the day daddy died...I knew it was coming, I told my boss I would not be at work today, i told Bobbies school she would not be there today, while I know I can't just hide out every year on Sept. 15th Its hard to function with people when you are just so darn sad. I do try to go to the beach every year, since he was cremated and scattered at sea its as close as I can get to visiting his grave site...I think next year I will send Bobbie to school, its not healthy for her to see me this sad. I miss him everyday but the toughest day of the year is today, on his birthday I can celebrate his life, on Fathers day I can celebrate what a wonderful daddy he was, not to mention celebrating Robert with the girls ( cause lets face it he learned a lot from my daddy) and he is a pretty terrific daddy himself!...but today is hard, there was nothing wonderful that happened today to celebrate, its a big day but not in a good way...All I can think about was how I found out, and how I felt and the next few days that followed and...well I think I need to be done, the crying has started again and I was trying to be done for the day so I will close with I miss you daddy RIP

2 blogs in one day...CRAZY I KNOW!!!

I just found out that Twilight the movie will be comming out on November 21st now instead of in december so for my 29th birthday the party will be ending at 11:00 pm and I will be taking off for the movies to go to the midnight showing with what I assume will be a theatre full of teenage girls, and if they talk throw popcorn or in any other way annoy me I will have to kill them, just so you know! It is going to be the best birthday gift EVER!!!

In case you couldn't tell from my earlier post and this post I have learned how to link to other sites just by clicking on words that I choose to type...for instance...

Bobbie...haha

Krista...that was fun

Robert...and so on and so forth...


hmmmm so what else is going on...not much... The Lions started out the season with a loss, but hey I guess that means they can only go uphill from here right?

Ok I guess thats enought for the second blog of the day...

Catch up time again...

OK well I have had a LOT going on at work, both the manager and myself are ready to quit, why we haven't I am not sure yet...The "Big Boss" hired some new people ( a couple) and neither one know their head from a whole in the ground. She has had several people try to show her how to do her job, and has yet to figure it out...he has yet to figure out how to pull his head out of his ass and do his flippin job, instead he is busy staring at my boobs and making comments such as " you have made a good man very happy, he will in turn make you very happy" now I ask you what the hell does that mean... Its not all bad Daniel ( Its hard to tell but you can click on Daniels name) seems to entertain on a regular basis he even found me a pet bat named Bob... ( you can click on Bob's name too)
I was going to quit on Friday so my plan for the weekend was to do the things I am not supposed to do when working at the front desk...so Friday I went and got my tongue pierced ( again...it is the third time) and was going to shave my head on Saturday afternoon, but Robert convinced me to stay for at least another week before giving up, so alas I still have all my hair dag nab it...

Its almost time...

for school to start again WOOOOHOOOO!!!! While I will miss the extra 1 and a half hours of sleep I get during the summer, it will be nice to have some sort of schedule back in our lives...and I always feel bad when i don't make Bobbie work in work books over the summer, I know I should and I always start out with good intentions but it never seems to make it past the first week or 2. This year it didn't even make it that far. I am very blessed that we got a new principal this year and he made sure if a parent cared enough to request a teacher then the child would have that teacher, so this year Bobbie will have her first male teacher Mr. Dillon, I am so glad she is going to have him, he is very sweet but will not be walked on, I think they will be a perfect fit, he is fair, but won't put up with her whining.
I was also elected treasurer of the PTA this year, that should be interesting all on its own, but I am glad, I love being involved with Bobbie's school. I like having a say in what happens with her education, and there is nothing like seeing her face light up when I show up to surprise her and eat lunch with her, because I was on campus anyway. Well I guess I have gone on long
enough, but I just can't wait for Monday!!!

Readers Digest Verison

I haven't posted in a while so I will give a readers digest verison of whats been up in the wonderful land called the Rivers House...

1. sister-in-law (roberts sister) got in a huge fight with her mother in law ( with whom they were living) and got kicked out, so now My sister-in-law (Shanna), her Husband (James) and their 2 kids (Kristy, 16 and Justin,12) are staying with us for a while until they can get back on their feet.

2. Broke my little toe and part of my foot ( I was getting Krista out of the bath and tripped over one of her toys), and since it was either my foot or her head, my foot now has big owies...

3. My stupid father-in-law was playing with a rattle snake ( I told you he was stupid) got bit and ended up in the hospital for a total of 10 days...he is now going to showcase his stupidity on tv ( the DR. they sent him to at Loma Linda has a show called Venom 911, or Venom ER, or something like that)

4. My tempoary job that started in late febuary and was supposed to go for no longer than 6 weeks is still going strong...can't seem to get out of here...luckly I like MOST of the people I work with, so I guess thats a blessing.

5. Bobbie is sprouting little booblets and at 8 years old and going into 3rd grade she will be wearing training bras...on that subject, what are they in training for? The booby relay?


ok I think thats it for now, I hopw as things calm down I will be able to post more...

Just over 4 days

I can't wait I will be at wal-mart on 11:30 pm on friday night, to buy it at 12:01 am on saturday morning....WOO HOO

My Baby Turned 1 on saturday

So last year at this time I was trying to talk the Doctor into letting me go home a day early, it worked and of course we did the same thing as when we left with Bobbie, we went out to lunch on the way home...well this year I am looking at my little angel walking, talking and just being in general a really cute kid ( but hey I think I am biased) Saturday we had her birthday party and she had a blast with everyone. She also had a blast eating her cake and sharing it with her Big sissy...



But, before that getting her to eat her cake instead of playing with the wrapping on her gifts was very difficult...she enjoyed the boxes and the tissue paper the most...

until the next day when we were able to put the toys together and she could play with them...more pictures of that to come soon...

Summer Time

We have been having such a heat wave here in So. Cal. Last week on thursday Bobbie had softball practice at 5:15 pm and it was still 109 outside...this week it has been cooling down yesterday it was a cool 99...so far I have been lucky that my work has AC and my home's AC was broken for a short time but we were able to get it fixed fairly cheap...I really feel for the people that have to work outside in the heat of the day, and it makes me think of our troops and the heat they deal with on a day to day basis, not to mention the fact that they are putting their lives on the line...Thank you to our Troops!!! and Lord can you please turn on the AC?

She Walked...and I missed it....

I just got a call at work that Krista took about 15 steps with out holding on to anything...she has been walking while holding on for awhile now and taking 1-3 steps here and there...but I missed the big one...my guess is that we will not be able to keep her down now...I guess this weekend I will be baby proffing the house, while she was crawling a baby gate was enough but my guess is that it won't do an more...I hope to take pictures and video this weekend to add soon!!!

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N...it's vacation time!!!

That is a line from a song I used to sing with my daddy, every time we would walk out the door to start a vacation, and with today being the last day of school for the 2007/2008 school year I felt it was appropriate to sing....My little Bobbie is growing up so fast, at 12:40 she will officially be in 3rd grade...I was thinking back the other day about when I was in 3rd grade, it was the first time I cussed, the first time I kissed a boy at school, the first time I went on a diet...I was trying to remember how I "felt" and what things I thought about and the things my friends and I talked about...I am so conflicted as I am sure most moms are in that I don't want my kids to grow up, Sometimes I would love to freeze time and keep them just as they are....but other times I can't wait for them to grow up and to go through different "stages" with them....as they grow it makes me miss my daddy more and more, I think of the things he is missing and that my girls are missing with their Papa...Bobbie got a district award and a trophy and a gold medal for school stuff this week and then while playing softball she slid into home to score a run...that's all stuff daddy would have eating up...ah well, time goes on and I can't freeze it or go back in time, so I should get used to things changing....*stomps feet and throws temper tantrum* I don't want things to change...Life is perfect NOW!!!!!


I guess I got a little off topic since I meant to have a lite airy post about sleeping in this summer...oh well....
