As of September 2nd, 2006 I am married. Woohoo. Now our next to do's in life is to buy a car, save money, move up the career ladder, enjoy our lives before we have kids in about 4 years.

it's way too early, but i'm up and not feeling well. ugh

Oh dear livejournal how I have neglected thee. Things have changed a bit since I last updated. I got a new job. It's a bit more stressful but a welcome change. We're getting closer to the wedding. I just want it to be here now so I can have a vacation!

Everything is good. My dog is still a little terror but we love her and I wouldn't change anything about her.

Since I've started my diet, I've lost 30 lbs. I'm ready to start losing more, but will probably wait till after the wedding. In the meantime, I'm still working out 5 times a week but doing more weights. Hopefully I'll get to tone my arms.

I am so sick of this weather. It has been dry and warm all year, but this summer is the worst. It's friggin 100+ everyday. I hate it. It makes me sick.

Well that's all for now....

So here's what went down this past week. I gave my two weeks notice on Tuesday which I believe came as a bit surprise to everyone, but heck if you proceed to lie to me and place me in a position I did not want, I'm jetting out asap. So the following morning, I stroll in at 9. I finish my breakfast of sliced mangos and knotting of course ;-) and an hour later, my new "boss" comes by and asks to speak with me. She takes me into my old boss' office which is now empty and our new HR lady is in there as well. She introduces me to this lady and I'm sitting there as oblivious as can be. Then the next thing that comes out of her mouth is that "we're just gonna let you go." It took a second to register, and then I realized WTF?? Pardon my language, but what the hell? So I looked at her and said, well what difference does it make if I leave now or next week? She said, we'll since we're starting new processes, and there's a lot of buzz about you leaving, we didn't want this to disturb what everyone's going to be doing. Fair enough. But do I get paid at least for the two weeks I was planning on working? I do indeed and I get all my vacation hours. The conversation was over, they escorted me back to my desk asked me to take my personal belongings and escorted me out. Thank goodness I didn't have much. One thing I shouldve done the day before was save all my personal files to my thumb drive because they wouldn't let me go through my laptop. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to my coworkers. Anyway, I was completed dumbfounded, insulted to a certain extent, and the only reaction I had as I was walking to my car was laugh at the whole thing. They are not only low class but stupid and I'm glad I'm leaving. I guess they couldn't handle the fact that I was leaving. Oh well. I get a free vacation!

:-)

So yesterday the team went out to eat at Royal Thai. The lady I work with was like, oh you guys will like the place they've got chinese or thai type food. I was like IT'S NOT FUCKING CHINESE YOU BITCH.

OY, the ignorance.

I am so exhausted. Maybe because the last two to three weeks I haven't been eating properly. Starting tomorrow, I must get back on track. Not that I got way off side tracked, but I don't have much time left and I need to get motivated.

I guess work has been draining. Not alot is going on task wise, but so many things have happened, everything's been shaken up. I've been feeling a bit mixed with my job situation, on certain days I know I should leave and avoid the mess, but on other days I know this could be the best thing that happens to me. I could do great things here. I guess the anxiety with waiting for the changes is overwhelming. New leadership, old people gone, nothing to do...it's all a bit daunting. After today's happy hour at work, I had a chat with one of my coworkers and apparently everyone feels that way, not that I didn't know it, but it's nice to be reassured. Even the new leadership seems to be overwhelmed. I know I have value within the company, I am one of 2 people that knows the stuff (in terms client side), so we have nothing to worry about. So I think I'm gonna stick it out at least until the after the wedding. Who knows we may be able to retire early from this.

As for the wedding, everything is under way. I need to send in the contract for the florist, and I think we're good. I've contacted a minister, but I think we should use our own....

Since when does the mentality of having desserts after lunch or dinner is required. I think it's disgusting. I love desserts but I don't have to have it everyday. I need to get off this "american diet" and start eating food I grew up with.

I am so depressed. I just want a new job that's it. A job that's closer to home that pays as much. That's all. I just want out. :-(

Wow, I just spend 120 bucks on products from Prescriptives. That shit better make me look like a 15 year old. I feel old already. The area under my eyes are getting darker and more wrinkly. Maybe the makeup I'm wearing is making it look worse. Anyway, I'm glad it's raining. Another work week is about to start. Oh joy.

I got a pedicure yesterday. It was so nice. My toes now look presentable in sandals. What I really wanted was a massage and facial. Hmm, I'll have to schedule a day at the spa sometime. Too bad I'm too cheap. Ugh. I wish I was on Spring Break, it must be so nice. Booo.

Also this weekend, we went to the Longhorn Big 12 game against A&M at the AAC. It's my first time at the stadium/arena. It's nice. I like going to indoor sporting events :-p

Anyway, I'm ready for Friday already.

Oy, I am totally unprepared for my phone interview tomorrow. I have no urge to do anything tonight. I just sent myself an email with interview tips so I can review at work. Maybe I should print it out instead to prevent anyone from monitoring it.

I am so bored. My head hurts. I hate Saturdays. We're boring people. I didn't work out. I feel bad for not working out even though I did the last 5 days. BOOO.

ARG.

Oh yeah and this is TMI, but because I'm on this diet, I get my period twice a month. I hate it. It's just gross and makes me feel gross, and this warm weather doesn't help either. Are we ever getting another cold burst, or is this it?

As for the job situation, I've got a phone interview on Monday. An in-office interview on Tuesday and another one next Monday. Woohoo! I need to get back on Monster and find other stuff.

I had not one but THREE freshly made cookies from JD's Chippery. YUM. My craving has been satisfied. Ok this mean no more cookies (sweets) ever for at least till the end of the month. Off to the gym I go. I really need to start waking up at 5:30 instead of going in after work.

Doods, I need a pedicure! My toenails still have scraps of red nailpolish from my last pedicure several months ago. It's spring time, I gotta wear those sandals.

I just wanna go home and crawl in bed and start on one of my books I got from Half Price this weekend. The Lovely Bones sounds like it should be a good read.

Anyway, having to search for jobs is so depressing.

I hoping that if I submit my resume via Monster or some other career website to at least 20 jobs a day I would get at least 2 responses a week. Maybe my formatting is shitty. Who knows. The content looks fine. Why haven't I gotten a single response? I know it's only been a few days, but still. It's sad. I hate having to get back into the job market, but I know this is the right decision. I can't wait!!

I'm watching the Oscars...Salma Hayek needs to learn English and her dress makes her boobs all lopsided.

Anyway, where else should I look for jobs?

Arg not only am I having trouble at work, but the website I'm managing is having issues as well. On top of that my iPod is working funny especially after the second time I dropped it. Booooo. Plus I haven't been consistent with my diet. I did go to the gym today despite skipping yesterday (hey i walked the dog for 30 minutes). I just want Friday afternoon to get here. I'm so so so tired.

Well the string of bad days finally broke me. I ran into the bathroom crying like a baby. Whew, it was much needed release.
