I am happy...

My friend Linda decided to hook me up with a guy she works with at the IRS. I HATE being set up on blind dates cause they usually never work. I also NEVER after 5 days am ready to meet someone I started talking to. I am never that way. We've gone on two dates and I feel completely at ease with him. We are alike in so many ways. I feel a strong connection with him. I haven't had that in long time. I wasn't looking to really date anyone..but I am starting to think this might have been a good idea. :). I'll keep you all posted. :)

I am so VERY LUCKY :)

So, on wednesday I took my car to the dealership to get the oil changed and to see why it burns oil so fast... I though there would be some simple explanation.... there wasn't!!! Come to find out the engine needed to be replaced? I had to ask the mechanic at the dealership a couple times if he was sure.. Well, I bought my car in 2007 and my car is a 2001.. Well my car is still under warranty so I only have to pay for a tune up. They are paying the other $2,500.00 dollars! And my dealership also rented me a car free of charge from enterprise rentals. I was going to trade my car in and get something newer, now I think I might just drive it into the ground.. It only has 91K miles and now with a new engine...it could run forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)... The best part of it is my warranty runs out in may! :). So, I got it in just in time!!! :).. YAY!

BRING ON SPRING!!!

I always start getting giddy this time of year. I LOVE TO BE OUTSIDE! It makes me sad when I have to go to work at 4:00pm and everyone else is going out to do something fun for the evening! Oh well. I will get to have a bit of a summer this year cause I will be off work. This will probably be my last furlough until I retire. I am more than likely going to have a permanent job in my area come October. Which I am excited about. But then again the thought of working year round makes me sick.. haha! I need a husband to pay all my bills... ***SIGH*** :)

In September I am going to go and see Lion King on broadway in Utah. I am very stoked. I have never been to a broadway show! I would sell a kidney to go to Wicked! I love that musical. It is so good!

This spring/summer I plan on spending a lot of time outside... I probably will do a lot of camping. I just love camping! I also love hiking! I go with my friend Maryann to take her daughter swimming a lot too. That should be a lot of fun! I plan on making lots of plans!

I absolutely love my job. It's great. It's a very hard job..but I feel like I am doing a good job at it. I have an awesome new boss (her son worked in Code and Edit with me), she is great! I like what I do.. and going to work isn't that much of a chore anymore. Even though some days it feels like it.

Nothing too exciting is going on..that's why I don't post that much anymore. I work, sleep, and do stuff ocassionally with friends... The life of a 28 year single gal. I gotta get out and do more. :).

People make me sick!

So on thursday as most everyone heard.. A small plane hit an IRS building in Austin, TX. While most of you think this isn't that big of a deal it's a big deal to me. As you all know I work for the IRS. And I know that people don't like the IRS...and people don't like paying taxes, I sure as heck hate paying taxes. But I do it. But I am not gonna go on a tax rant. I ocassionally go to ksl.com and read about what's going on locally, nationally etc. Well, tonight when I got off of work I decided to go on and read the threads that people have posted about what happened in Austin.. Most were complaining about the IRS and about paying taxes. And they called the Pilot heroic? EXCUSE ME? Seriously you are calling this guy heroic? If it happened in Utah would all these people be posting what they had been. The filith that came out of there mouth was disgusting. If that happened here in Utah, the posts would've been "I have friends or family who work there or this is tragic and I can't believe it happened in Utah. We had a drill at work today on what we'd do in a situation similiar to this.. In the Ogden area there are about 13 different IRS buildings. One guy jokingly said "Well hopefully if something like this happens again they will hit the main building." I looked at him and told him to shut up, and that I have a lot of friends over there. It really bothered me. I don't know why people think stuff like this is funny. Who knows one day it could happen in Utah, I pray that it doesn't but who knows with all the crazies out there. My thoughts and prayers are with those who were affected. It just hit a little too close to home today.

I have the greatest friends!

I really count myself very lucky to have the group of friends that I have. Each is different in their own ways. Some I have known 20 plus years. Others I've met in the last decade. Each is very special in their own way. They know what to say when I am having a bad day. I am a better person in knowing each and every one of you. I sometimes feel overwhelmed with the love that my friends show me. You all mean the world to me :).

I want to trade my life in for a NEW LIFE!

Seriously, I am freaking bored with how my life is going. I work, sleep, work, sleep. I know that's part of being a grown up. But also my social life is beginning to suck as well. I'm a social butterfly so it pisses me off. Most weekends I am at home doing nothing. Most of my friends are married, dating someone, engaged or have kids. Not that there is anything wrong with it. I am bored. I don't go to single wards or really church for that matter. Even if I did I constantly get the "why aren't you married spill." Am I that abnormal to be 28 and not married?! In Utah I am. I stopped going to church...because every week I would have SOMEBODY ask "why aren't you married yet?" I got sick of it. Seriously sick of it. I'm a good person. I've dated a ton and had numerous boyfriends. But even then it hasn't gotten me anywhere. I am sick of trying, sick of looking. I just want to active social life back. Is that too much to ask? I used to go out every weekend with friends. Now, I am lucky if I even leave the house on the weekend. I hate being alone! I'd rather do things with friends. I guess I should just start working all the overtime I can when I am able too..and screw having a life. Ugh.... I want a new life.. one that DOESN'T SUCK!!!!!

New Year.. New job!!!

So.. after one week of training I have decided I like my new job! I like it more than the job I was at for 2 1/2 months. The training is a lot better over there. The trainers have ACTUALLY gone through instructor training so they know how to instruct. It's a lot to learn but it's very interesting. I am now someone who assists the auditors in the audit process (YEP.. I am one of the bad guys now.. haha). I look through correspondence making sure the Taxpayer sends us in EVERYTHING we need to we can audit them. I am a little nervous about being on the phones..but on swing shift it's minimal. So. I won't complain. I have 5 more weeks of training.. EEK!
