For Valentines Day I worked. It sucked, but I'm just glad it wasn't busy. I've been doing really good w/ trying to stay on the phone. Gotta get my numbers up and meet compliance.
Well, I was teasing Bubba about how I'm looking forward to my flowers, although I know I wasn't going to get any. He'll be going on a run this weekend, so I didn't expect anything. Plus I got my MotoKrzr. So I'm happy :)
Well, around 9ish..I get a call and I couldn't answer it cause I was on a call w/ a customer. He shows up w/ flowers (one to put on my desk-a plus), a balloon and some candy. Cause I was teasing him how I only got Chinese food for lunch haha. But the security guard told me he dropped it off, and good thing I caught him in time to turn around. I brought AJ in the building for a lil bit and he was shy as usual. He saw Elisa and Shawn, the only two people from my old team that mattered. Well, I was totally surprised, and that made my night. Thanks Bubba, I love you! So that was my Valentines...dinner to come next weekend, or next week. I've really been craving sushi lately, so I'm hoping we can head out to the city and get some reservations.
Hope everyone had a great Valentines day. I know I did, even though I was at work, I'm I was surprised w/ AJ and all the other little things.

PROUD PARENT
AJ is sooooo smart. It makes me so proud on how he's doing. He knows his letters, we've been working w/ him on his flashcards, and he knows about all of them. He struggles with some, like the M and the T but he only makes mistakes sometimes. I think what's really helped him is his favorite toy, the hot wheels laptop that was given to him for his birthday. He LOVES that thing!
He always comes up to me and says "mommy open open" its soo adorable.
He also knows his numbers from 1 thru 20. There are a few numbers like 14 and 15 where it sounds like he's saying 13 but we're working on it. It amazes me, cause I've talked to a few people and they have kids same age as AJ and they're full term, versus AJ being a preemie...and they still don't know there letters. Or their numbers, and they would rather pay attention to something else then wanting to learn. AJ wants to learn, he wants to sit down, and that's the best thing about it.
This goes back to spending time w/ your kids. It makes me proud that he's doing more then an average two year old. He can be very impulsive, but it comes down to teaching him not to be.
I pat my self on the shoulder for that. Its one step to being a smart kid.

Can you have it "all"?
So I was watching Oprah I think sometime last week, or the week before and there was an issue of if women having it "all"...the degree, the job, the parenting, but at the same time do a great job at all three. It consisted of stay at home moms vs career mothers. Which, was a big debate. Some of them weren't really making any sense. For example, there was a stay at home mom who said that she would rather have her be able to hug and spend time w/ her child then put them in daycare. Okay SERIOUSLY! You can hug your child anytime, its just the time you put into your child. I think people can be great parents as long as theres a balance on things. Mother or Father..regardless of how tired you are from work, spend time w/ your child. Let them know that you're there for them and that you love them.
Like AJ..that's mainly the reason why I work in the evenings so we don't have to put in him day care and that we have an equal amount of time that we spend w/ him. I have him in the morning and Tuan has him at night. Now that he's two, he requires a lot of attention. At this age, he's a sponge. Everything you say and do he trys to mock just cause he's learning. But he knows we're there for him. He calls me when he needs me and lets me know. He's so smart!!! We're very fortunate w/ how he's doing with his development because he was extremely premature.
Well, Tuan and I had a conversation about this the other night the whole having it all thing..and I think its really hard to have it all. I mean, I really really want to go back to school, but its hard cause of work and bills. Plus, being a mom. I give props to people who can do it, but I know that they have a lot of help. Yes, we have the help of Tuan's sisters, BUT they're also in school and they take of not only AJ but our nieces as well. I just want to finish is my point. And the only way is thru online classes. I've learned working at Wells, I love to do paperwork. Sounds weird I know, but I like to do admin stuff. So I figured I major in Business Administration.
There are so many things w/ having it all. Being a parent, spending time w/ the family, cleaning house, maintaining bills, being a wife. Yeah, for some its nothing, but it's really hard! I mean, its not difficult to the point where I feel like I'm going to fall apart, but it can be overwhelming.
For instance, I would love it sometimes if Tuan helps clean house. He does his part but I feel like I have to do it almost all the time. I don't have anyone to clean up after me and for AJ. I wish I could just relax in the morning and do nothing, and I admit I do that sometimes...but it creates a pile of work the next day or on my day off. Like dishes, I hate when there's dishes in the sink; laundry..when its laundry day it seems like theres 4 loads of laundry!!
Then there's work. I'm not happy w/ what I'm doing. Tuan says I just get bored, but answering the phones all day long sometimes can be really stressful. I stick it out cause of the benefits, the money, and the 401k. I would love to work for the state, or the county. I've looked around, and am still looking around, but w/ Tuan's business opening I want to be able to help him. Its hard to open a new business and just hire someone w/out having a backbone. And that's just from what I hear w/ people who have opened there business..heck I talk to business cust all day long!!
Parenting. I do my best to be there for my son. I want him to know Mommy loves him and would do anything for him, but there are boundaries. I want him to be disciplined and respectful towards others, as my parents have taught me. I don't expect him to be perfect, because yes NO ONE is perfect, but expecting that just leads him to fail. I want the best for him and I want him to be known as a "good guy". Even when I get old. Like there's this guy named Andy from BFMC, and when you first see him he's rugged looking but very humble. He was the only one who chatted w/ Tuan and I, and Lori and Dru at Ian and Jaymi's wedding from the club. He didn't have to talk to us, but with his politeness and kindness it makes me think, his mom raised a great man. Even when he came over for a party we had, he asked about the food w/ interest versus just eating it. I want AJ to be like that. I don't expect him to be a hero, but to be helpful towards others. I'm assuming most parents want these simple things from their kids, cause these simple things start at home. And it ALWAYS almost all the time reflects on the parents.
So having it "all" can be accomplished, but not all at the same time. I hope one day I can look back and say "I did it all, and now I have it all".

Pre-Valentines Gifts
So I got my Valentines day gift!!! :)
Bubba got me a phone. I got the new MotoKrazr, and its soo freakin cute. I love it. It has all the features thats on his LG phone but its way slimmer. He was gonna get the blackberry and just give me his old phone, which I totally would not have minded cause I was getting use to his phone, but he thought of getting me a new one.
I got him his chaps and his skinnys. Not bad for their price. He's happy cause he gets to wear them when he goes on his run for Mardi Gras w/ Ian and the other guys. I know it'll help keep him warm. I'm glad I got the bigger size too. I was originally just gonna get him the top and bottom, but the chaps were a lil cheaper then before so I got both.
I didn't think that he was gonna get me a phone. I told him, if its for his bike and its for me I don't want it haha. But I DL my ringtones and I'm happy. I just went thru Verizon to do it cause it seemed much to complicated to go thru the net.
Well, then there's our anniversary. Its next month, but I already have in mind on what to get him. I gotta check and make a few phone calls tomorrow just to make sure its even something that he can use. I'm glad he liked it. Plus, on V-day we're both working, and I may even be working on the 15th for OT. So we may not even have a chance to do the whole dinner date thing. But we shall see. I really wanna go to Japenese restuarant. Gotta love my sushi. I mean, there's Mikuni's but ehh..I'll look for something downtown. Or maybe even Sushi King.
It has to be for either this Sunday, cause I work mad early on Monday (more OT) and next weekend, he has his run, plus I work on the following Monday for a shift swap. Oh, and I know we'll have a movie date coming up cause Ghostrider is out on the 16th w/ Nicholas Cage. Gotta watch that. I'm hoping its good!!

OG team was better
I drives me mad when people can't stand up for themselves, or can't think for themselves. Seriously!! Oh my, what a day at work! It was going okay until I listened to a QA.
I just hate the fact that things have to go and be referred to by upper mgmt. I'm so not good w/ micro management, and how certain people can't just make a decision for themselves.
I miss the old team 11. I mean to OG team, when like April, Savi, Jamie, and when we had Dennis as the sup. I know things change, and change is good, but sometimes...just sometimes, I wish things were back to the way they were. Enough said.
Well, I don't know if I'll be continuing to do the mail for the center anymore, cause it seems that there may be an issue. I love to do it cause it makes the day go by fast for me. It makes taking the calls fast and it allows me to multitask. But if it creates issues, then I just wont do it.
I'm not happy with where I'm at. I might look around but we'll see. I have to get situated w/ Tuan's business and everything. I know once it gets going and it gets busy I may not even have to work. I can play house mom and office manager all at the same time. Until then, gotta keep my head up and just put a smile on. I know totally fake, but it gets you thru work sometimes.

Taxes
okay so I sooooo HAVE TO gather everything for taxes tomorrow so we can submit them. i'm laggin arggh! its been so hectic, its insane! busy at work, tired from work, and just things to do at home.
That's what's on my TO DO list tomorrow. Yesterday was All Hands On Deck, cause I guess now we're one whole NBBC. We have another call center which is at Shoreview, MN and their numbers yesterday were horrible, so we have to pick up the slack for them. It totally sucks.
I'm hoping today won't be to bad.
Well, tomorrow is Thursday and AJ has his two appointments, I have to remember to make sure he'll be fully awake for them and that we don't wake up to early. Cause if we wake up really early then he'll be knocked out when Martha gets here. Oh, and Jen and her hubby and baby are supposedly coming over for dinner at Lisa's house tomorrow. I'll know for sure tonight, or tomorrow. I haven't heard from them so we'll see. Well gotta check and make sure I have everything prepared for what to look for and who to call to get all the paperwork tomorrow. Oh my and I have a Dr appt!! Hectic I tell you!

it's official
Today we announce Fermina and Alvin Adapon!! So it's official, Ning is now in the married club!
Yup, this morning they got married civilly and then now comes the planning of the real wedding. The whole reception and getting remarried in front of the whole family. Congratulations!
Weekend-
Sat: Event J
We were late for reservations, but we left earlier then planned. I mean we did come from Elk Grove, and had to drop off AJ to my moms. I was a lil irritated cause I felt like I heard it the whole time from Jo..uggh! I swear, people work on the weekends out here in the valley. and there is such thing called traffic. But dinner at La Barca was good. Then the only ones from dinner that ended up at the club is me, Bubba, Jason, Ay and Anne. We went to Club Roe whihc is done the street from NV. We made Anne stay out the whole time. Good times :) . Didn't have to much to drink, just enough to be tipsy. Jason's cousins were there and we danced a lil and it was a good vibe. OMG! guess who I saw there, I saw Olivia from High School. It was nice to see her. We're planning on having lunch or something.
After the club we to lucky chances, had some grub and slept over at Ay Ay's in Pinole.
Sun: Super Bowl XLI (I finally figured out that it meant 41, 50-10+1)
I really didn't feel like going cause I wanted to pick AJ up. But we went and they had a lot of food. I was pretty tired. Same folks were there Jo's coworkers and us and Lisa and the kids came after we did. Just ate watched the game and then hung out for a lil bit. We left before the game was over cause we still had to get AJ and the drive to Elk Grove. Then we came home watched Milan (some filipino movie from my parents house) and just knocked out.
So that was our weekend. Hopefully everyone had a good one! Pictures to come soon from Jason's Bday.

Long Blog
Okay, so Event J is tomorrow. Jason so laughed at me that I called it that. haha. Well, I made the reservations for tomorrow at La Barca San Fran. Its a mexican cuisine off of Lombard St. We were originally going to go to Gravity but plans changed. We are now on the guestlist to go to Club Roe which is off of Howard St. Somewhere different. Its suppose to be crackin, so we'll see.
I hope its not too crowded. But hey there's always Gravity.
So there's dinner reservations for 8 @ 8:00 (cute). That way its gives Tuan and I time to get ready and then drive up to the bay. We're also going to pick up Ay Ay. So it totally works out. Then we're going to be heading out for dinner, I think we're going to pick up Jason. Cause I know he's not gonna drive. Jay you're gonna get drunk! I have to double check to see what time we have to be in line for that club. I think it's 11.
Well, I'm looking forward to this weekend. Sooo many things have been happening that I'm looking to consume alcohol. Sounds bad I know, but it'll be good to get away and party. We don't party very often. On Sunday we're suppose to go to Jo and Eileen's for Superbowl Sunday, but we're dropping AJ off to mom's house so we have to pick him up on Sunday before she goest to work. Originally he was going to be at Lisa's house, but talked to mom and said that she can watch him on Saturday. Which is cool, cause she can spend time w/ him. And plus dad can play with him too. So, we'll probably be watching the game here at home.
I gotta clean house tomorrow, before we leave. Never wanna leave the house messy before going out of town. It's just so much nicer to come home to a clean house. Oh, and if I haven't mentioned yet, Ning and Alvin are getting married!! They'll do the civil thing on Monday at City Hall and then they're still looking for a place hopefully for March around Ning's bday. I wanna help plan it, but it's her day so..I'll just give some suggestions and ideas. I just can't wait until Bubba and I renew our vows.
I also finally got my very own helmet. I got the chips one. haha. We went riding on Monday and he took me to work on Tuesday. It's great to have my own helmet. I love it! I got the flat black one and I got it on sale for 25% off. Works for me! Bubba got a leather jacket and Jason used his gift card at Renegade last Sunday. Renegade had a 25% off deal just for that weekend, so we took advantage of it. Oh and I know what to get Bubba for Valentines day already. I just have to make sure to call and see if they have it stock by next friday.
Well, its been like forever since I've blogged on this thing, I guess I've just been tired from work and just had so many things on my mind. I just now am able to since I'm relaxed.

Tax Season
OMG..it has been pretty busy at work. Everyone's wanting their statements, and all other kinds of photocopies. Its not so bad at night, since we now actually have at least 20 people until 10ish when graveyard gets in. But the other night, the aspect phone went in the red..and it was insane!
What gets to me is when they're calling for something they can get thru the automated system like balance info, checks withdrawals, etc. That's why we have BOB and the IVR people!
Well, I hope it doesnt get to bad, like last year. Last year was pretty bad, we were short staffed almost all the time, there was a whole lotta mail..and it was just tiring. My AHT was bad, cause there were times I just put myself on idle cause I needed to take a breath.

Event J
Okay, Event J is coming up! Jason's bday is coming up this coming thursday, and I'm soooo glad I was able to get the day off for next Saturday. I swapped w/ Ignacio, so I work this Monday 3:00 to 11:30, so I have to remember to leave at like 2:00 to make sure I have parking.
I don't know what to plan yet. I know it'll be dinner than a bar/club or something just to hang out and drink.
I'm soo looking forward to this coming weekend. I think its much needed. Just to go out and chill w/ everyone. I don't think everyones going to make it though, I just got confirmation from Lori that she won't be coming. I hoping Dru can come out to hang out, but we'll see. Leia and her are sick, so :(. Hope you guys get better. I still have to look for a restaurant to eat. I know I have to send out the evite by tomorrow or no later than Monday (early morning) just so we can get a head count for dinner. I have to check to if the restaurant has reservations so that I can call on Thursday to reserve the place. I know that Ay-Ay and I (haha that rhymes) talked about sushi and then we would have to figure out what to do from there. Well, Jason's coming over later so we'll get a guest list then. But for now, gotta get an outfit woohoo..can't spend to much but you know gotta look nice!
I still can't believe I'm up right now. I sleep really late last night. For some reason I just couldn't get any sleep. Lotsa things seem to be running in my head lately so that may be the cause. All I know is that in the end things will work out, right? If not, then my mind will go into pieces. (but not literally).
Other events:
*Okay so I have to look at my planner to see when I can set up an appt for Antioch in March for Kat and I, and even Tuan and I. I think I may just do the one for Tuan and I this month for Valentines day because in March things will be hard to schedule for the business. I have to take a look. But I think I should plan it for like a Fri, since his days off change to F, Sat, Sun. So maybe a swap for a weekend or something.
*Valentines day..a day I love, but dont think I have anything planned yet. Its in two weeks so we'll see. Dinner? Movie? any suggestions?
I don't know what to plan yet. I know it'll be dinner than a bar/club or something just to hang out and drink.

HV position
:(
So I didn't get the HV position...that's okay. It's not my time yet. It was based on my MPP, so I just have to get that up. My QAs are really good, its just compliance, and ATC. AHT was a lil low, but that wasn't the big deal. I didn't know that I ended the year at a high level 2 uggh!
So next time I know what to say for the interview and what to improve on.
Like I said, this year, I have to get things done and get things right. I have to move on.
Other than that my points haven't been fixed yet, I'm hoping that they'll be taken care of tomorrow or soon.
AI:
oh my some people really have the guts to get on TV and just blow!! I mean, who really told you that you can sing. Forreal!! It's pretty hilaire though haha. There was this one girl who was crying cause her dad didn't want her to go on AI and wanted to do something else. She made it..so that's good. I only like watching the tryouts and the ending. I stopped watching the whole season. Oh and this one chick, straight drama..haha they said day's of our american idol lives hahaha..she's hella begging about not understanding why she can't make it!!! (sniff sniff) some people forreals!
Tomorrow:
AJ's got his appointments w/ his OT and PT. Other than that I gotta jet to the Golden 1 and take care of some things. Oh my..don't ever get a car loan thru them. I have them on straight recurring bill pay and they keep applying my payments to the wrong account. It's soooo frustrating!!! So I have to print out something to show it's been paid...so inconvenient!!

Busy Weekend
Oh my what a weekend!!! Tiring but well worth it..First off, I wanna say:
"HAPPY 30th BDAY JO!!!"
Well we went down to Tahoe Fri night and then stayed over until Sat night. It was pretty fun!! Not to many people, but enough to have a great time. Pictures have been uploaded. On Sat, we kinda just hung out and chilled, which was good to just relax and not spend money. We didn't go snowboarding, or snow mobiling, just hung out. It's funny cause only 2 people ended up going. Jo and his coworker Rob. Then drank a lil bit, ate a lot (oh mun!! garlic noddle and dungeonus crab, yum!) just had a great time. More details later!!
Sun: Leia's Baptism @ Saint Anne's Church 10AM mass..followed by the reception @ Hilton in Fremont
Lotta food consumed this weekend! That means, more running and movement this week!!
That was pretty cool too. I was soo tired though driving home. And on Sun night..still had time to watch "The Protector". Good movie, bad director!!

Interview
So I had my HV interview today w/ Scott and Mike, OPs. I think I did "ok"..at the end I totally thought I sooo could have done better. But we'll see. **cross your fingers**
I was soooo freagin nervous forreal! I know I shouldn't have, but just the interview thing man. I mean, I can soo talk in front of a group of people but interviews they just make my palms sweat.
I think I got more nervous cause Mike was there. I was so just expecting only Scott..but it's okay. I asked Scott how I did, and he said I did fine.
I got some word from D though. I love D dude..he gets info for me! He said that Scott wants to hire me, they just need to fix the whole points issue. So I'm hoping something gets worked out before the end of next week. There's suppose to be a total of 6 people who applied, and I believe three positions are open. I'm really hoping I get this. If not, then I know that I just have to work harder at it. But, we'll see what happens, gotta stay positive. D said that Scott told him I did real well, but I just thought I kept rambling and I didn't give the "right" answer. The only other thing they have to look over is MPP and compare it with other people who applied. D put in a good word for me and that's sooo appreciated. He mentioned to me that he knows that I work hard when I'm at work and that I put in the extra mile for the customer. Things like that are great to hear :)
Work stuff-I almost didn't make my deadline for the correspondce today, but I completed everything exactly at 11:58 (skills, skills!) I just wanted to get things done and sent out to not affect the customer, plus I won't be back until next Tues. I'm looking forward to this weekend.
Until then, I got a lot of errands to do tomorrow (today). Errands aren't always fun, but I'll be able to relax at home tomorrow night. Movie night maybe..oh wait, Grey's Anatomy!!! Gotta love Thursdays!!

AIMS
So Monday is the last day to send our AIMS to be counted for 4th quarter. AIMS are recognitions that we send out to either agents or supervisors, and with the AIMS you receive a $25 gift card. They have a list of merchants where you can use the gift cards, and they range from restuarants like Olive Garden, Red Lobster; to bookstores Barnes and Noble, Borders; to just retail stores Coach, Macys, Sears, Target etc. I have like I think 10 people to do tomorrow. I've completed some today but didn't get to finish since I moved to sit next to Elisa.
Here's my list of people:
Kat
Dennis-completed
Chris
Eric
Akili
Doug
Mark
Wayne
Elisa-almost completed
Stephanie
Tanya
Shawn
Ashley-completed
Sonya
Ryan
Amina
Nasra
I think that's all I have. I have to look at my calendar on my desk tomorrow. I really wanna finish them now, but I'm gonna catch my Zz's tonight cause I have to wake up early to go to the bank and do some errands. So far, I've gotten I think 7..so that's what $175.00 woohoo..I'm hoping to get more. I'll have to remind people tomorrow. I know Doug will do another one for me and so will Wayne. Bubba said to just put it all to one place, which I think is a great idea. I was gonna save it all for Xmas shopping this year. I know that's hella long from now, but if you think about it..we won't have to spend any money. Cause lets just say I got a total of $300.00+ then that would totally pay for a lot of friends that we didn't get to give gifts this year. The kids, they're easy so I don't have to worry much about them. I'll try to do them first thing tomorrow. I wanna do them while AJ's asleep cause it'll help me concentrate. I feel a lil brain dead since I didn't get much sleep last night.
I was sooo irritated at work earlier that I just wanted to go home. Well, there's a new guy named Ignacio..and when you're new on the floor, I understand that you have the pressures of making sure you don't put the customer on hold to long and that you provide great service yadayada.
But he asked for my help regarding some miscellaneous adjustment on a cust accnt, so I logged off the phone to help him. I told him to give me a minute so I can try to find out why it happened. I even went to Eric. He looked up and you know when you put your pointer finger up to say wait..he freagin thought I was flipping him off. Seriously! And when I came to tell him what it was he was already calling the 4 queue. I know I thought out loud cause I told him, you have no patience and that's so not good. That was errkin. If you don't want my help, then I won't bother. It's my peet peeve I guess. So I'm soo not helping him anymore, if anything he can ask the 4 queue. He's not getting an AIM from me. uuhahaha!

Mission complete
So I told myself today that for now on Thursdays would be the days where I would do house cleaning and run as many errands as I can before 5. So, its really not my day off. No more naps for me.
Well we started the day off real early. Got up around 7ish and then went back to sleep after Bubba left to go to work. But then woke up at 9:00 to go to my nail appointment. Man, it was frrreeezing this morning. It's suppose to be really cold the next two mornings and especially overnight. It's suppose to be in the mid 20s. Anyway, got my nails done. Thanks Timmy!! Then right after went home and figured out what I needed to get as far as if I was gonna do the groceries today, etc. Well, I didn't cook today cause we ate at Cheesecake Factory.
Not bad I guess. I don't recall eating at the one in the city, I just remember getting some drinks before the club w/ Michelle like hella days ago.
AJ and I ate at Oly's Burger..its soo yum. I kinda like there burger better then Nations. It's not that expensive either for its size. After that went to Staples and got some things for the office/AJ's room. I just completed my project of reorganizing. I know its like really early in the morning, but I'll be okay cause I can sleep in a lil bit tomorrow. I was determined to finish clearing the papers that were on the desk and filing some things. Plus, I wanted to put up my letter trays. I also put some stuff on Bubba's desk in the guest room. Since I reorganized the bed and desk around in the guest room, I wanted to make his desk look more like a work area.
Then, after Staples, went home and cleaned house. Had dinner w/ Rob and Lisa at Cheesecake got home around 10ish and now it's time to catch my Zzzs. Just put the dogs in the laundry room...poor things, they were shivering in the garage. I wish I could give them a bath inside but they move to dang much. Well the next two nights they'll be inside, kinda, sorta but not really.

Verizon Wireless
Okay so there's three phones that I'm comparing. I'm really eyeing the one that's a lil more over-priced but I've never really gotten a nice phone. I've always gotten the low cheap model, cause I wasn't into all the extras until now.
So there's the:
LG VX8300
Which Bubba has. It has the bluetooth feature, Vcast, text to speech enabled, etc.
It's $49.99 (online price) reg $99.99 and it's a pretty cute phone. Not my number 1 choice but I can settle for it. I just dont want the same phone like all three of them have. Glo and Ning have the same phone too.
Nokia 6315i
I would totally get this one. It's different. Bluetooth capable (that's like a really important feature, cause I love having headsets), Vcast, photo cam (well all three have cams) and it allows you to get 25 ring tones. Not like I'm going to DL that many.
It's 129.99 retail and online price its $79.99. Still not bad. I like the look of it too. It's the one I would pick but..
The one I really want is:
LG VX8600
Okay so this one's pricey for me but it's totally cute!! It's 179.99 (i think that's a lot for a cell phone, but that's just me) online price $129.99 not much of a discount. It's black, blue tooth capable, Vcast, photo cam, removable memory (all three have this feature) and its really professional looking. But we'll see.
I think I'll just get the one that's 79.99. I have to see what happens before the trip to Tahoe. All I know is Metro will not be paid for this month. So I'm kinda hoping to get the phone before the trip. I just have to see what the deal is on if Bubba is gonna pay Lisa before we leave or after. Cause he has to pay his first months bill. And you know the first month is always the one that's the most expensive. Cause of the whole activation fees etc. I'm hoping that she can just add a line to Tuan's just so I can be in the same network.
Plan wise:
I dont want to be in the family plan. I would do the $59.99-900 monthly minutes and have the $10.00 unlimited text messaging. I use text a lot cause of communicating w/ folks at work plus w/ other fam. The unlimited text isn't bad, cause I get 500 plus texts to non VW customers. What's nice too is that I can change my plan down to $39.99 if I notice I dont use the phone too often. Which I usually don't but I would start w/ the $59.99 just to be on the safer side.
We'll I hope to get a new phone before Tahoe..so gotta work that OT and get paid!

No longer a concern to me
I was so having a great morning. I mean, I got up and everything, straight cooked eggs and corned beef (yum). You can never go wrong w/ that. And I actually had all errands done today. Just lil stuff you know. Go to the bank, return "The Break-up" and go to work.
Things at work even went smooth. It was a lil busy but not too bad. I was still able to do the mail and get time off the phone. So today Aaron said that its better that I get all my referrals in before 10 since SNME goes down by that time, and after 10ish its good to be off the phone and do the mail. Hey, that totally works for me. So I have to stretch out my times now. I mean, I'll probably do the usual with picking things up when I get there and doing my rounds throughout the center..I just have to get my refs in and closures as much as possible and later in the evening time to work but off the phone.
So far, I think I've been doing really good with things at work. I got my first QA, level 4..so just as long as I maintain that it's all good! I still miss my old sups: bestest ever Dennis, 2nd best: Stephanie and of course there's Zoe!! Those are the best ones to work under. But I gotta tell you Aaron really isn't bad. I mean, just like Elisa told me cause she's been w/ Wells forever!!! (16 years!!) You just go w/ the flow w/ the sup that you get and just stay on their good side. I mean there's certain sups who like to have a lot of conversation and like to get to know you. There's others who just want you to say hi to them and others that don't even know that you're there. That's were the whole diversity issue falls into play. But I'm happy w/ things right now. I hoping though to go to HV. We shall see.
The only thing that totally killed my day..well it was just before I went to work when someone was being a lil to concerned about their stuff. I mean, I dont wanna bitch just cause that's drama. I have so many other things to think about that I'll be the bigger person and just vent to Bubbs. They totally thought I was using their stuff. Umm no! and if I even considered, I'm polite enough to ask first thank you very much!! I guess, after things are all honky dory (not sure if that's a word) on the other side of the fence, it's okay to change your attitude. I don't know. I guess our help isn't needed much anymore not until something else comes up. But whatever. I just want their things out. At first I thought there would be some slight changes this year, but of course not. Things are the same. I just don't wanna hear it. I know its just bs, but really, why even go there. Whatever! They can have their change of heart and attitude just as long as its not here at the house. I mean, all I have to say is that when you try to be nice to someone when there's drama, then when the drama settles..I don't think its okay to have a different attitude. Maybe I'm just blowing this out of porportion, but oh well. The least that I expected was them thinking I'd even touch their stuff.
(sigh) So that was what I needed to vent about today. I'm off tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to my nail appointment in the morning and just spending time w/ AJ. I was thinking, instead of going to the park to take him to McDonalds and let him play in the play area. Cause tomorrow it's suppose to be really cold tomorrow. Oh yea, and I'm planning on going to Ross, we shall see.
Things at work even went smooth. It was a lil busy but not too bad. I was still able to do the mail and get time off the phone.
