Maybe I should "knock" on wood next time!
So last night I was talking to some friends at work telling them how my car has been great! And it's never broke down on me. Well, I was getting ready to leave to go to work and wouldn't you know my car was completely dead today! I don't know what is wrong with it!! AHHHHHHHHHHH! Seriously?! I am somewhat pissed. However, I've decided that if it's a big fix it's gonna have to wait until after my trip! Because, I am not gonna shell out 500 bucks right before a vacation!

New cameras and vacations!!
So...yesterday I bought a beautiful purple digital camera! I know this is lame but I've never owned my own digital camera! I know! I am behind on the times! May 1st-4th I'll be in Las Vegas and St. George. I am SO EXCITED, you guys don't even know. I've not been out of the state (minus wyoming and idaho) in 4 years! I'll definitely post all about my trip! YAY!

Did I do the right thing?
Okay, first off I'd like to pose a question... Here is the situation. Say you work with a girl and she is always saying rude things to people. She has a sexual induendo FOR EVERYTHING and makes sure everyone in the work area can hear her talking in an unprofessional way. If you were in this situation would you tell your boss about this employees behavior?
I am not easily offended unless it comes to religion or politics.. For example my friend at work kept telling me after I had voted for President Obama that I voted for the "Anti-Christ" it really offended me. This same particular person also dogs on religion. Even though this person went on a mission. I respect people's opinions and I hope they respect mine. I am a free thinking 27 year old woman. I have strong beliefs.
Anyway, so the story is this girl at work is very crude in her language and what she says at work. And I finally got sick of hearing it. This particular girl also told me that one of my good friend's cheated on her husband even though I know it's not true because she has been married for over 30 years. I am a good friend and told my friend what was said behind her back. I would like a friend to approach me if someone was bad mouthing me. Come to find out there were 8 people in my area who were also sick of her crude and rude behavior. Well, we all talked to our manager. And my manager talked to her. Well thursday in our team meeting she got up and did a public apology, but then it ended up being a BIG drama fest, she tried to make those of us who had said something feel like crap, because she could have lost her job over this! Well, don't be rude to people and don't talk dirty at work. It's called sexual harrassment and we don't need to deal with it! I am glad that I said something. Because I don't need to listen to it at work of all places!

What kind of country do we live in?
Honestly?! In life 2 things are certain. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TAXES and EVERYONE DIES! I was just watching the news and they were talking about a Tea Party in Salt Lake. I believe that Bush put us in this financial whirlwind and that Obama isn't helping the situation. Yep as an Obama supporter I am wondering why he is spending so much money when the country is in a recession. I mean honestly. And to be honest I really don't think McCain would have done a good job either. I guess you can say I am disappointed in Obama. If we go bankrupt as a country then I will have lost all faith in our leadership! People always complain about paying taxes. I guess I am kind of bias because I work for the IRS. I don't like paying taxes, but it's something I have to do. I'm held to a "higher standard" on paying my taxes on time. If I don't pay my taxes on time I can lose my job. I can't even file an extension like most tax payers. LOL. I have noticed this year at work that there is a lot less work because people are filing for extensions because they can not pay! And no wonder they can't pay. Obama spends millions of dollars on his Inauguration ceremonies and thus puts our country deeper into debt. And people lose their jobs! So, what does this teach all of us? Don't buy uneccesary things unless YOU CAN AFFORD TO! Instead of bailing out these banks why didn't they give "middle" america each $10,000 to stimulate the economy!
Okay, Now, I am going to shut up! :).

Counting my blessings!
My last post was somewhat of a downer. LOL. I apologize. I would delete it, but it was what I was feeling at the time. Some people in my life have had a much harder life than I have. I should feel very blessed. I have good health, a great family, wonderful friends, and a great job in these troubled economic times. Part of me is glad I didn't get the HR job! Granted the money would be nice, but I work with some amazing people! I just wasn't meant to get the job. I am supposed to be where I am. It's not my time frame. One day I'll get my dream job, it may not be tomorrow, or the next but eventually it'll have to come. Right now I will just be grateful I get paid well and work with some great people. I swear that it feels like every winter I get "seasonal depression"! I need sunshine! It makes me happy to be outside and be active! I had a long week last week! I worked 10 hours of overtime plus my own 10 hours a day. So in 4 days I did 50 hours! :). I don't work tomorrow, or tuesday! YAY! WOOHOO! I am working overtime to buy a Nintendo Wii! Actually I can afford one right now, but I hate buying "unnessary things" sometimes unless there is a good use for it. This is just for fun. :).

It's been a bad day...
I probably shouldn't start writing a blog at 3:15am but I feel like I want to. I just got off work and I have a feeling if I don't blog about whatever then I am going to not sleep well. I am ticked. I didn't get the job at the IRS in their HR job. They said "you're highly qualified BUT your not being selected." I am sick of the IRS taking forever to say "no". It's pissing me off.
I dyed my hair blonde yesterday. Well my hairdresser dyed my hair blonde. IT didn't go the exact color I wanted, but I guess it works for now.
I started working 4 10's at work! I work Tuesday-Friday 4:00pm to 2:30am. I actually like having EVERY monday off. It's nice. I can do so much more with a 3 day weekend.
I fell down my stairs last week, so I have not been to the gym in 2 weeks doctor's orders. I was in a lot of pain last week, it has subsided and I plan on returning to the gym monday. They canceled the biggest loser at work because they said it's gambling! Oh well. WHatever.
I am going on a weekend trip in about 4 weeks to Southern Utah and to Vegas with a friend. Should be fun. I need to get away.
I have kind of had a crappy week. Well, actually I just am kind of sick of the way my life is going. I'd say about 95% of my friends are married. I hang out with one of my married friends all the time. And hang out with a few other friends here and there but I feel like I am starting to be a nusiance with some friends. I'm busy but I do like doing stuff ocassionally with friends. I guess I just feel down lately. I will be 28 this year. In Utah's terms I am an old maid. I don't understand why guys are such idiots now. I've dated a lot of good guys in my life but most have been duds. Everyone keeps saying "You'll find the right one" Yeah, right it's not happening. I am done with my search. Yep, you heard me. I just decided that marriage probably isn't for me and having kids probably will never be an option because my "soulmate" doesn't exist. My biggest dream in life is to be a mother and wife, but I don't understand why "he" hasn't came into my life. I know I would know when he did. I am just sick of looking. I sometimes feel like crawling underneath a rock and dying sometimes. Tonight (friday) is one of those days. Don't you love those days when you feel like a piece of crap and that your life has no meaning and you feel like nobody cares about you?! Yeah, well that's me today! Enough of my venting on things I have no control over. I think I may just stay in bed all weekend with the blanket pulled up over my head while I shut the world out. After I sleep I should be in a happier mood. We'll see. It's stupid that a job that you really wanted you didn't get and it can screw up your mood!
