Brilliant Mom Moment
Today the monster and I went to Best Buy to use our gift cards. He wanted the new Hinder CD, there were 2 versions at the store. One that was supposed to come with a free down loaded ring tone and wallpaper and extra songs, it was only $1 more than the other version so I thought why not. Well my dumb ass didn't look at the parental warning on the cover that said "adult content" so I open the CD in the car so that we can listen to it and am accosted with boobies. All naked boobies!!! everywhere. I had to tell him he cannot have the CD case, I know that eventually I will have to deal with puberty but I don't want to push him into it. Good golly, now I have to start reading warnings, crap!!!

Work sucks!!
A quick work rant...
I changed positions at the end of Oct and the transition was not a smooth one, in fact I hate this job!! It was getting slightly more bareable until yesterday when all hell broke loose and there isn't anything I can do but watch it spin out of controll.
So my job depends on others doing their jobs and this one person in my office will not do hers.
Example 1. She was asked about a job b/c corporate was asking about it. Corp said there was material on site that needed to be installed. So 3 emails and a face to face later she scheduled it. However she never bothered to check that all the material was there. So I emailed corp and told them we would be in today only to find out she didn't check her shit. So now corp is mad. I am mad, my salesperson is mad but the one person who should be mad doesn't appear to be...her boss. He should take her aside and talk to her.
Example 2. There was a job that was a must be done. A different company for this one but still corporate involvement. So that corp called and scheduled things and it was known by all that it had to be done on the date that was given. Well guess what the installer didn't show. Now why in the hell didn't she know, why did I get a call from corp informing me? I should have known so that I could run interfernece. ARG!! Now my other sales person is mad, a different corp but again the boss man doesn't appear to be mad!!
I am so annoyed. I am going to have to create a tracking system for all orders in this persons area and stay on top of her doing her job as well as mine so that I can avoid these things in the future. This infuriates me b/c its not my job any more to schedule things, its hers. I think the boss needs to take her into his office and have a talk about her system b/c obviously it isn't working!!! Then she needs remedial training b/c again obviously she doesn't get her job that she has been at for over a year??????
I NEED TO FIND A NEW JOB AND SOON B/C I AM GOING TO EXPLODE HERE!!!!!!!!
On another cat lady observation: My boy cat sleeps like a human, he stretches out and uses a pillow, its so funny I want to take pictures each night but I cannot be that big of a crazy cat lady.

Still a cat lady
As I was going to bed last night I had to scoop the litter and had to add yet another thing to the growing list of reason's I am a crazy cat lady...
I was so happy with my new pooper scooper that it wasn't funny. It works so much better than the old one.
then the sad fact hit me... I am a crazy cat lady.

Pictures
So I am so excited that I was able to post a picture!!! It only took like 10 tries but I did it :) Enjoy now I might post more pictures since I know how but I also have to remember how too.
Crazy cat lady...
I just realized its Saturday night and I am having a Gilmore Girls marathon with my cat curled up on my chest. This leads me to the sad realization that I am becoming a crazy cat lady. ARG!!!
This isn't the only evidence that I can show you either...I uploaded my Christmas pictures and I have more of cats (mine and my mother's) than I do of anything else. I need a life!! One that doesn't involve me getting wrapped up in a book series that keeps me holed up in my house for a week then to turn to obsessing over a canceled TV series.
Based on this I am turning into a crazy cat lady with no life. Great!!!
Here is just one of my examples:

Guidence Counselor
I sit here tonight avoiding balancing my check book and looking at my bills, it will only depress me. So what do I do I watch a lifetime network movie??? That makes sense right? I get caught on these things b/c I will see a famous actress and think oh it can't be that bad. I saw Kirstin Dunst in one movie called 15 and Pregnant and I think I stayed up til 1am watching this cheesetackular movie. Well tonight I am watching Gracie's Choice b/c Kristen Bell is in it. (So is Anne Heche but I figure Lifetime movies are whats next for her-sorry to be mean)
Its about a woman (Anne) and her 5 children with 5 baby daddy's. Her eldest, Gracie (Kristen), who winds up taking care of her half siblings taking parental custody from her mom. So in the course of Gracie's life she bounces around a lot and is just over looked everywhere. I know this is for dramatic effect well it worked.
I was watching her interaction with these counselors and I have been trying to think about what I want to do when I grow up and I think I have decided some form of counselor is it. I want to help people, I have been told that I can look at things objectively (I realize this only happens when I look at something that is not about me!) and people talk to me. I have found that I am the person who keeps being told things.
I am not complaining about this its just odd sometimes. When this woman at work pulls me aside to complain about our boss which I don't do b/c I like him and was odd b/c she is new and we don't talk. So now I have this information and I want fix it, you know talk to the boss man about it because there appears to be a huge problem with this particular co-worker and my question is does anyone else know? Shouldn't this be fixed. Yes I am a fixer.
So I think I want to go back to school for my masters in a form of counseling. I don't know if that will by guidance b/c I don't really want to deal with all the drama of schools but I would like to help. Maybe I figure it out in school. Now to figure out how to get paid for this school b/c otherwise I cannot afford it. And to figure out if I can even take classes, with the monster my time is precious. I have been thinking about this for a while and now I am thinking about waiting until he is a bit older and can be home on his own. But now that I know what I want I don't want to wait. Oh the issues and it all came out of a ridiculous movie. Awesome right?

Break time at work
So I was taking a little break at work today getting my fill on the interweb and what do I come across but this article:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28269290/?gt1=43001
It was on the MSN homepage. This family from NJ has named their son Adolf Hitler b/c the name is unique. WTF? Ok so I am reading this article and the dad is trying to defend his actions by saying he likes the name and wanted his son to have a unique name. He is upset b/c a store wouldn't spell out his son's name on a birthday cake, these people had to go to PA to a Wal-Mart before getting it done. I may be able to excuse this lapse in judgement had the article not said they have also wanted to have a swaticka on a cake before and had their other kids names not been... wait for it...JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie what is this about???
Oh but dad said if his children grow up to hang out with other races he will be fine with that? Really???
This is why there is hate out there in this world!!! Are you kidding me? I mean come on now!! Hate is a learned thing and I bet these children are being taught things at home that other parents aren't going to like. I remember a young girl calling my son the N word, I was so pissed b/c I had to explain to him that that is a bad bad word and then try to figure out how to deal with this child and her grandmother. This girl was 6 at the time! You know she picked that up at home. The worst part about that was it happened at a friends wedding and I didn't want to cause a scene but how else do you handle that???
So all in all why is this still going on? I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinions but can't they try to see things from other perspectives?
Now back to the grind stone.
