Messy

Monday is done, which is a VERY good thing!  Super busy yesterday trying to please everyone and make every issue a priority.  However, that didn’t work out too well, because you can’t please everyone no matter how hard you try. 

Before I left I had a desktop that I scrambled to configure and get out the door.  The lady that does our shipping sent it to the wrong facility.  I didn’t find that out until yesterday.  Jeez, I hate depending upon other people they always seem to let you down.

I had another desktop that I raced to configure and it’s shipping out today.  I hope she sends it to the right place.  All I can do is my part and try to fix what seems to fall apart along the way.

I was told to order a printer before I left.  I did that and got direction from Management yesterday where they wanted it hooked up.  One of the ladies thought the printer was for her, so she cornered me and asked me why I was putting it on someone else's desk.  She made it very clear that it was her printer.  I told her all I can do is what I am told, if you have an issue take it up with your manager.  She said oh I will.  She is a HUGE pain in my ass.

The lady that brought her computer to work for me to fix, decided to take it home and fix it herself.  She did a great job because it works now.  The only problem is she doesn’t know the password to get in.  If she would have left it at the office, I have software that I can use to break in, but no she had to go around me so I told her what website to go to and how much it cost.  She is on her own.  Then she tells me she wants to wipe it out and start over.  Great either break in and then delete what you don’t want OR use the recovery partition and wipe it all.  See I was trying to do her a favor but she screwed that up so, she is on her own. 

So you get the idea yesterday was a stress ball at work.  Home wasn’t much better.  Big Boy needed a refill on his medicine.  He is on Prednisilone which is very similar but slightly different than Prednisone.  Turns out there is a shortage on his medicine and most everyone has it on back order OR I could have gotten it in a liquid form.  We lucked out and found it at a local pharmacy where we get Jumpers medicine.  Normally at the vet it’s $20 for 3 months supply.  Last night they said $92.50 and I thought it was a joke, nope because there is shortage they jacked up the price.  Well I won’t ever pay that again!  I can get it on-line cheaper from Canada but the one site I saw only took Visa and I have MasterCard, so I will have to shop for a different site.  In any case, I will figure something out. 

I thought I would be able to get ahead and stash some money away but every time I try something always bamboozles me and I wind up back pennyless.

We had Turkey last night for supper.  Not my idea but my guy loves to cook up a feast.  Once again we have enough food for the 37th Tank Batallion.  The kitchen was a huge mess and then he carried a soda to his computer area and spilled it all over.  To top it off one of the cats made a #2 mess – so last night was cleaning night.  I finally had enough and left to get my hair cut.  I was going to put it off but I needed some alone time and why not get pampered in the process.

Which brings me to my next semi-problem.  I have been getting my hair cut every two weeks.  Turns out I see little hits of white poking through.  I love my hair just the way it is, with no white or grey.  The lady last night told me that it was probably the lighting I was using, because she didn’t see any white.  Yeah, patronizing me.  I just don’t want to loose my natural color.  I also don’t want to and can’t afford to have it colored every two weeks.  I guess only time will tell what I will do, kind of depends if it gets worse or not.

Phew, that was a lot.  Now I have a ton more of work to do.  I just had to make time for myself and to blog.  Today plus one more day and then off for 4 days.  So much planned, not sure if I will have the energy to do it all but eating will be at the top of the list.  I’ve got a nice feast for lunch today that includes pie.  Oh, yeah it’s time to get my pig on.  Why not I’ve got more chins that a Chinese Phonebook!

Have a great day and I will talk with you peeps later.

Whoa, that's quite a "mark-up" in price on that medicine! Talk about highway robbery.

You crack me up, I love your sense of humour. As for your "white" hair, I have been begging mine to turn a nice pretty white/silver and it just won't! I figure at 60 yrs. old I deserve a nice crown of white like my Mom had, it was so pretty. But it seems I take after my Dad's side, LOL

Have a good week!
