Yikes

Post by: Chris on October 30th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

Well our company just publicly announced that there are going to be approx 7000 job layoffs. This is about 10% of our company worldwide. Am I worried . . . ? Hell yeah ! It is totally freakin’ everyone out over here. Deep down we knew it was coming, but such a large number was a little more than expected.
I try not to dwindle on it, but my mind keeps going to the “what ifs”. I gotta stop doing that! I can do nothing about it, it does me no good to worry over it, I have no control, so I better just go along w/my life and try not to stress.
I truely love my job and the people I work with. Yesterday I found out many of my friends will be gone come January. This is SO sad. I have been here 20 years and I would like another 20 at least.
eGads, there I go again!
Today is my Friday, so I need to enjoy my 3 day weekend, enjoy the last of the warm weather, enjoy my family and my life. Life Is Good. So Stop stressin’ woman!
XO

Cinnamon

cinnimon
Oh Wow. I have mentioned this before, and will mention this again: my son can bake and I mean he can really bake! He must have gotten those genes from my mother and father, cuz they are wonderful bakers. For me tho, it must have skipped a generation.
Last night my son made Cinnamon Rolls. It was a make-up assignment for school and wow did they turn out terrific! Good thing we had some maxim lighting in our kitchen so that I could take this wonderful picture. Needless to say, I ate 2 and a half of those biggies. They were soooo good! He is getting a A in Home Ec undoubtedly.

OMG OMG OMG.
They just gave me a Flat Screen monitor here at work. It is thee coolest thing! We are so very behind in the time and all of us had those big bulky monitors . . . except me now! and one other guy. The rest of my team still has old decrepit ones, heeheehe.
This will take a bit of getting used to tho, the screen is huge and everyone can see me blog; I will need to really shrink the screen into a little corner . . .

boggles

Post by: Chris on October 28th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things

I have been surfin’ around on different blogs, just hoppin’ from one to another and I have noticed there are tons, and I mean tons! of BlogSpot blogs out there. I never knew just how popular that specific freebee blog is. Totally boggles the mind, okay, my mind at least.
I dont really care for free blogs, they dont do much for my Alexa rank, and, it seems they dont help me out on my Google Rank either as I have dropped from a 2 to a whompin’ Zero. Very depressing. DotComs only cost around $15 a year at the max, so I really dont understand why people would not purchase their own domain.
Okay, yes, I do occationaly blog to help me out in pocket change, but if I dont get my RR back up I might have to go to truck driving school to earn some extra cash for the holidays, eek !
So if anybody wants to help me out here, (and this works both ways too), you can always add the Alexa widget to your blog and add me to Technorati Favs. I dont think I have StumbleUpon anymore as for some reason that kinda doesnt work on my blogs anymore. Its really wierd. ah well, thanks for reading!

Gotta love Mondays

Post by: Chris on October 27th, 2008 | File Under Every Day Things, Family

Some Mondays I actually do like and today is one of them. I really have no reason to be so happy as it seems I have gained again over the weekend; this time 2 pounds! I really have to stop doing that. I might need some help from alli*sigh*.
It could be that I am happy because I am taking Friday off work. The kiddo and I always ditch School and Work on Halloween. Its kinda a tradition now. and I love it! I call him in Sick at school and I take vacation from work. We go to lunch at a nice (but reasonable) restaurant. He choose Carls Jr this time. Boring!!! I want to go to Mimi’s, or Applebys, or IHOP; someplace someone can wait on me, heeheehee. But I guess Carls Jr is okay. They have a chicken salad that is only like 200 calories and is pretty good.
So the week is starting all over again and at least I have a good attitude :)

69%

Post by: Chris on October 24th, 2008 | File Under Fun Jokes & Misc

Nice Number, eh? heh heh heh. Anyways! I took this ‘test’ and found out I was more pure than I thought:


You Are 69% Pure


You’re pretty pure, and you have no plans on changing that.
You do have a devilish side though… and it will probably get the better of you.
