wow... okay so it's been over a year since the last time I wrote in this. Sadly... I don't have much to update on. I have a different job. Been working it since about three months after my last post. I'm still there... but I'm hating it. I used to love my job... a lot... then to save people's jobs I agreed to transfer to another department... and now, after four months of screwing up in this new department, I'm being moved again. There's a temp that's quitting. I know why she's quitting, because she told me.... but I'M GETTING BLAMED FOR HER LEAVING!! Her leaving has nothing to do with me! I'm so pissed off about this whole situation.... I trusted her and befriended her and she stabbed me in the back. I have lost all respect for her and wish her nothing but unhappiness for the shit that she's pulled. Wow... it felt so goood to finally be able to say that.
So now i'm being moved back to the department I worked when I first started.
The good thing is that I'm GOOD at that front desk... clients like me and I now know how the WHOLE office works and can hopefully be able to make an improvment before my review in two weeks time. the woman i worked for, now barely talks to me and treats me like shit. The whole office is screwed up. It was once a pleasant place to work... now it's just stress and uncomfortalbe silences. I'm putting my resume together... hoping that after the new year I'll find a better job. I just want to have the paid holidays and my vacation time. The holidays aren't looking so good either. the whole last half of this year has just sucked. ever since halloween. it wasn't good this year and my kitty went missing the day before... and after that everything just kinda crashed and burned. I need to figure a way out of this curse of bad crap that's hovering over me. I have a friend coming down from LA this weekend and can't wait to see him again. Been a while since I last saw him and I miss him something awful... now don't the wrong idea... he's gay, but I love him dearly.
Morgan kitty is still missing. It hurts. A lot.
I really really really don't want to go into work tomorrow. my birthday is in less than a month... and I don't even feel like celebrating it. Most of my friends are un-available to do much anyways... so I don't expect to do anything interesting for my 25th. I requested the day off though... i wasn't going to, but with what they've put me through lately... I requested time off in december. I keep the smile pasted on just to hide how much I want to burn the building down. I'm so stressed out that I can't sleep... I'm exhausted and getting bruises under my eyes... because I'm not getting restful sleep. the last week I barely ate anything... I'm just today starting to get back to eating regularly again.
I don't care anymore... I really don't.
I hate my job. I can't quit because then I'm out of a job and money and everything. If I do just enough to not get fired but eventually get fired... then i can collect unemployment and take a month off. That's the thing I keep telling myself. I either have to find a new job... or wait till I'm fired. So I keep watching Office Space to remind me that most people hate their jobs and life sucks for plenty of people. I've started writing again though... at least I'm letting myself get creative again. It's a slow start back into it... but I'm working on it. There are many people at my work that can't understand why i'm being treated so shitty by the bosses... cause they think I'm doing great... but that doesn't matter to the bosses. I just don't get it. I want this month over... I feel that next month will be better... it's just a feeling that I have... so I want November over already!!! Two more weeks... then it's done.
alright... I feel better now.
until next we meet-

Alright... so I grabbed this off someone's journal and thought I'd give it a try... and actually came up with some good photos!! I don't what claire has in her interestes... but NONE of the stuff that came up on mine (I actually went through all options for each photo) was even nearly as bad as the one that got left on her collage! I didn't have to delete any pictures! all of them had very good options.... so it's pretty fun to play around with!
( My Interests Collage! )
perhaps my next post, I'll have tried out www.onetruemedia.com and will have some fun thing to show from there!

right then, it's been a while since my last update, and I fear that some of this may be a repeat. I've moved into a townhouse with ![[info]](http://img.greatestjournal.com/userinfo.gif) maura_ea and a few other women. I'm working for a new company... I now sell portable toilets and fence to construction sites... my boss rocks, it's a good little office, our field boys are a hoot, and our clients have gotten to know who I am. All in all... it was a wise choice! I'm currently in rehersals for a play, I tried out for the only female part and got it... so I'm jazzed about that and will post updates as they come up. Just the other day... as an early known birthday gift (to take place in December for my birthday) my mum got (I found, she bought) tickets to see The Loin King in LA!! We got some of the best possible tickets too!! Front row of the Mezzanine(sp?) and one over from dead center... so the seats are gonna be awsome! and along with that two nights in a spiffy hotel... so I get to spend time with my mum and do something really nifty for my birthday... so I'm content!
Well I must be getting back to work now...

okay everyone... so I'm still alive... and have actually thought to update this!! I've had a busy time lately so it never dawned on me to update this thing. I'm actually only doing this because i'm bored at work with nothing to do.
SO......BIG NEWS FOR DANA!!
I moved out of my mum's house! yes that's right, I finally moved out. I now live in a nifty townhouse with Claire (maura_ea ) and a few other women (and most days thier fiances) and I started a new job! The water distirct was crap... they chose another girl over me (the fools) and so I couldn't see myself working as a temp with no PTO (paid time off) and no benefits.... so a friend of my mum's fiance knew of a woman looking for an assitant/office manager and guess who got the job... yuuuup that's right... it's me. this week though, i have naught to do as she can't send me for training until next week when she can be in the office all the time... so for now it's basically just 'show up and do something' which includes wasting time on the net when she's not here... I've actually got permission to do so too... I'm making better money, going to be learning to manage an office, and in time maybe even replace my boss lady.... so it's a good job. plus i get to work a 7-4 and eventually (if i want to) a 6-3... i get paid over time ( and can do OT whenever i want more money) paid holidays, paid sick, personal days, paid vacaion, fantastic benefit plan.... a raise in three months.... and have been told that during our slow season in winter, which will be soon (I now sell toilets and fencing for job sites) that there will be days when we just show up, and sit around doing naught. been told i can bring a book in and use the net when I'm bored... so hey it's a good time! there's just us two women in the 'office' of the fence supply yard, but most times my boss is out, so then it's just me. right now it's dull because I'm not trained and CAN'T do much, but after I"m trained... I'll be busy... it's our peak season right now... so for now I just sit on my bum doing very little and then go home.... it tries my patience sometimes, and then i go online... and all is well.
right, well that's enough about the job!
so today i have to see if i can get in to get my nails done again (they need a fill) and then tomorrow night I'm going out to a place in san bernadino to meet up with an old friend and her husband... so going to call it an early night from that though as it'll take me half an hour to get there and it's a country bar... not my style... but it's the only place that's halfway that either of us have been to before... so oh well. She wants me to meet this guy she knows... but I told her not to expect anything of it as he's almost 30, divorced about 2 years ago with two kids! I told her that he's not what I'm looking for in a guy but I'll make nice and be friends.
so anyways, I'd best get back out in the office area... I brought a book and figure I'll go read for a while.

Okay so I don't have the time to write a proper update... but the one thing that is new is....
Her name is Morgan Rianna... ISN'T SHE CUTE?? I have more pictures at home, and I'll try to post those as well... she's actually 9 weeks old in this picture taken on tuesday.... and I have pictures of the week before... she was smaller and more adorable... Tasha, my other kitty, isn't to happy about her being a new addition, but she's dealing... they're starting to play together when tasha thinks no one is looking... so it'll be alright with time!
well back to work now...more pictures later...

Ill just have to live with the dvd... perhaps someday they'll play it on a big screen again.... I can wish can't I? Okay don't just burst my bubble right away! So anyways... it's faire this weekend again, and bogfest with the poxy boggards and belles of bedlam... should be fun, I'm not driving so it's all good in my mind!!! alright, now that my rant is all done, I still don't feel any less P.O.'d at the fact that none of the local theaters got their grubby little hands on playing the movie! GRRRRRR!

faire was fun this weekend... saturday night's camping went much smoother and far more entertaining then last time... found more faire people to party with. I got sunburned on sunday because it was so darn hot.... anyways, that's about all i have to say this round. It's just hard coming back to reality... can't wait till the weekend when I can go to faire again!

I love my job....
So we've got a new boss coming in on monday and the girls in my department and I (we have an inter-office messanger) were all brainstorming on ways to welcome him... he'll be the second male to join our department of all female staff. So when someone asked if we were going to do anything to welcome him, my obvious response was 'you mean besides the tacks on the chair and glue on the doorknob? I don't really know!' and I thought it was hilarious, but no one else really did... they found the funny in it, but I was the only one who enjoyed the comment. So we all decided that the best way to welcome him would be to simply show up and see if we even like him... then let him make it through the week and we can welcome him NEXT monday! I figure we'll just bring in coffee and muffins for his first day....
everyone likes muffins.
So I decided to make a very fun costume for the Labyrinth of Jareth masquerade ball... it's an Amy Brown fairy. It's going to look so good! I've got the skirt all pinned and ready to be sewn... it looks so cute!! I'm excited for it this year, because I'm planning on not being sick, and I'm also going with friends who will escort me home if I am rather than just let me take a taxi home from Hollywood...
I like my friends.
SO.... we're going to see Silent Hill tonight. How do I know this? because I have to go buy the tickets for all five of us on my lunch.... so we're going to have tickets... even if I have to steal them from someone else! I'm excited... I've wanted to see this for a long while now! Sean Bean is in it... he's good in everything... plus he's sexy... so I can't complain! It just looks like they took their time to make this one... which makes me happy.
I enjoy a well made movie.
So anyways... that's the update for this round... I'm sure I'll update a bit more often seeing as how my boys (two friends I only talk to online) keep me wanting to go online... what can I say... they're my boys. They entertain me with conversation and honestly miss me when I'm not online for our group chats with the rest of our circle of people.... seeing as how I'm basically the only other one who really talks in the groups, they try to keep me online as long as possible.
Until next we meet,

well well well... my hasn't it been a time since last I updated?
Okay well, the main things that I can remember telling myself I wanted to put in this update are as follows:
Faire opened this weekend!! It was a good opening weekend, it didn't rain so that was plus! Dawn was still a little sick, so she didn't have the energy to do much... i couldn't blame her though! We didn't do to much in the way of street games or anything... with Dawn not feeling well our original plans kind of fell through! I made my own fun when I'd run off on my own, so it wasn't a total loss... I mean it's Faire... you can always find fun at Faire!
Sadly next weekend though... I'm not going to be there...
It's Easter weekend, it's supposed to rain, and the group we're working with is a no-go because of the chance of rain... so I'm not really needed there! Beyond that... I'm just really tired from the opening weekend... so this morning I drank my sobe no fear, and I guess I didn't eat enough to regulate it so forgive my spelling errors as I'm so shaky I can't steady my hands... I get lunch in about ten minutes though it'll be alright!
Claire and I have finally decided that we NEED to find an apartment... so it looks like Saturday is the day we go looking!! That should be fun.. because once we find the ones we like, we can apply for them and just pray to everything that we get the one we want!
well I've forgotten what else I wanted to update with.
I'm starving, shaky and can't think right anymore so I'm off to lunch now!

Well well well… it’s been ages since I last updated this thing now hasn’t it!!! I had all sorts of things that I had intended to put in here… like this one time that a guy called in (at my work… I do billing customer service) and I swear to everything, he must have seen the Matrix to many times because he sounded just like agent smith!!! It was a bit creepy…..
But as I’m sure you all should be aware…. THE FAIRE IS ALMOST HERE!! Claire and I have been all excited (even with driving to LA at least once a weekend!) but now it’s really right around the corner!! This weekend (well at least Sunday) is dress rehearsal and we get our participant passes and parking permits!!! I’m just excited to get that first taste of what the faire will hold…. I’m so excited!! We’ve finally gotten our costumes in order (what with making AND buying) but we all look fantastic and are really excited to boot!!
Well for today, I think this shall be it…

Okay so the work day is almost over, and I thought I'd just pop in here right quick to give a brief update!
Today is friday, which is good because I got paid... which means that I can keep gas in my car, and pay my cell phone bill! Tonight Claire and I are going down to see Dawn as she lives about 20 minutes away from the faire grounds where the meeting is being held tomorrow... we have to take classes to learn to be good little ren faire volunteers!
So anyways, just a quick update like I said.... I'll post more after the weekend when (hopefully) Claire and Dawn and I can have a picture of all of us in our faire garb!!

So, once again it's been quite a while since last I wrote in here... this seems to be a constant habit... one that most likely wont be changing anytime soon either! Not much has happened though in the time span since last entry... yes my mundane life doesn't make much for an interesting story... makes me realize that my autobiography would never sell!
Okay, well the small bit that has happened since I last posted is that I got a temp job at a water district that at first I thought wasn't going to work out for me as my days just dragged on with very little for me to do... but one of the girls here has to go in for a surgery so suddenly I find myself training on the phones with big piles of work to do! It makes me happy, because I'm not the ONLY one answering the phones, and they are simple questions... but I also have my data entry work to still get through which makes me happy! I'm used to jobs where there's ALWAYS something to be done, so now I'm enjoying the work that I do... I can only hope that they offer a posistion to me as they have done the last three girls that they brought on as temps in this department.
Other than that, the only big news is that I finally got my contacts, but I don't wear them all the time, because the funky weather here makes for very dry eyes and so they get all icky and un-wearable... so some days I still go with my glasses... to rest my eyes.
Yes sadly that's all the news I have.
The rest is that I'm still desperatly single, and the only times I seem to be able to attrack the male of my speicies to me, is when they just want a good time for one night... other than that... they'll talk to me for a few days, find a nice good time for a night with someone else and never speak with me again...so... yeah... still single with no prospects... sad I know.
All right... in the meantime I've started working in photoshop again... but it's all just desktop backgrounds (currently Aeon Flux) but I'm in the process of making some new icons and the like as well... but seeing as how I'm currently at work and not able to upload said new icons... you'll just have to wait and look at them later!!
So that's it for this posting... at least this time I've given you all something to actually READ.

Okay so on saturday night the 'pack' (the group of us geeks that travel together proudly displaying our geek-ness!) went to go see our favorite performers MooNiE and Broon! It was the best! I have a few stills, but it'll take quite a while before I can post them as I've got to see if I can do anything to clear them up at all and make them viewable... they do move around so much that you can't seem to take their picture!!
Anyways, it got me all excited for faire and now I have to find the time to start working on a new faire costume!!

Okay so I know it's been ages since last I posted ANYTHING in here... but the move went well, I'm all set up here at my mum's for the time being. I've only got dial up so I don't get online to very often, but I'll try to write in here once in a while!! Not much is happening at the moment, I'm still searching for work, still reading my Laurell Hamilton books (I'm on number 12 now) and they just keep getting better! Dawn, you should so look into reading them... Trust me on this, I think you'd like them as much as I do... it's all sexy men with long hair, and a very strong yet small female main character... I think you'd like them!
Anyways, it's a sunday and Claire and I went to Universal yesterday... and while I haven't uploaded the fun photos we took while sitting on a bench, I'll try to do that soon because we really had fun with that!
