| Hey! |
| 07.28.05 (11:51 am) [edit] |
Hey, I'm updating again! I'm at work. I've successfully comandeered both computers in the lab; I'm simultaneously running my program on both in order to do twice the work in the same amount of time. Or, another way to look at - I'm doing the same amount of work twice as fast. Oooo. Which is more psychologically pleasing? I haven't decided yet. But. I have decided that money is pleasing in every sense.
I went to the ATM today and it spat out an old $20 bill. I probably should have saved it... but then again. That would defeat the purpose of taking money out of the bank, since, I need to spend it. Pinning it to the wall will do me less than no good, in fact, it'd probably just get stolen.
And now for another time-killer blog quiz thing.
Your Element Is Air |
You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world.
And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly.
Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life.
You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful.
You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person.
With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

| Hey! How 'bout that! |

Well, I've taken notice to the inherent public desire to read my incessant ranting about whatever's on going on in my life at the moment. I figure I'll allow you to quench your thirst for knowledge, or rather, incessant ranting right about now.
So, the crisis of the week? WPI payroll has some real dumb employees. Real dumb. Rant to follow.
I was to be paid my regular $12 hourly rate, for the 63.75 hours that I had put in, last Thursday... and unfortunately, some fucker decided that they'd like to double my hourly rate to $24/hr. Not that I had a problem with this... I do, however, have a problem with them telling me that they want it back. So, fine. Not a problem. They were just going to take it out of my account (it was direct deposited) and then they were going to cut me another check. This made me fairly irate, considering that I had bills and interest charges breathing down my neck to be paid. But you know, accidents happen, whatever... I had been living on $50 for a week and a half, what's another 3 days?
So, I wait until yesterday (Monday) to check my bank account to see if they took out the money yet. Oh. They took it out. And then they took it out again.... and here's the kicker. They took it out once more. That's right, $1096 that was deposited once, and taken out THREE times.... Now, I realize that people make mistakes. But, come on. How fucking dumb can you be? You put it in, you take it out... everything = 0.... my whole major rests on the fact that everything = 0 (CE joke. :P). So. In the process, I get charged overage fees of $27 a pop, including some transactions I had made with my bankcard, assuming that I had more than, oh, thousands of dollars in the red. These people are so lucky that I can keep my cool, because let me tell you, I was livid. In fact, the lady commented on "how incredibly calm I am for the situation." Little did she know that little blondie was about ready to kick her face into the wall if shit wasn't tight, if you catch my drift.
So. After wasting the entire day running from payroll, to work, to payroll, to the bank, and about 10 daytime minutes on the cell phone later.... shit was tight. And, end rant.
Well. That's about it for this week; everything else is fairly kosher. Work's going along fine and dandy, finally getting somewhere with this asphalt business. I've been hitting the gym atleast 4 times a week, so that weight? Yea. I lost some of that. 8) Been spending atleast one day a week down at the Cape house and on the beach soaking up those ultraviolet rays. I'm not as pasty white as I've been known to be in previously not-so-summer months. But you can still make fun of me if you want. I love the abuse.
That's it kiddo. That's all you'll get until I decide it's time for more useless whining to take place through my blog. Thanks for reading, I love you.

The Keys to Your Heart
|
You are attracted to good manners and elegance. |
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. |
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. |
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. |
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. |
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. |
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily. |
