April 2006 Archives

No creepy pictures today, I promise! Haven't had the time, to be quite honest. I've got some pretty messed up coworkers (like Travis Hauser), and I hear some pretty weird shit at work. So I've decided that I am going to start coming up with the "Costco Quote of the Week" or CQotW for short. This week is from Bob:

In response to the question "Do you know where your kids are?" he said:

"Yeah, they're sitting next to Big Jim and the Twins." (he has no kids)

Guess you had to be there.

So, I royally fucked up on a clients order. I told her that I could get her albums ready by Mothers Day, only to realize that my printer takes a month to get the albums back to me. Mother's Day is May 14th; that's 2 weeks away. Now, I found another printer that can get them to me in a week, but it literally costs $100 an album. That means I am making NO profit whatsoever. But you know something; that's OK, as long as I don't make a habit out of this. She will be getting a better product than she planned on, and she'll be happy. She has about 25 of my business cards to hand out to coworkers, so if I make her happy, then she'll bring more business my way. Also, she is having me make her wedding album, so that's $800 right there. All is good, I hope.

Talked to Christine today (Matt's sister). Her due date is August 18. I'm going to be an aunt! I know I already said that before, but I'm still excited. I won't be having kids anytime soon, so I can spoil baby boy Mais! I'm going to buy him the Cardinals mobile to hang over his crib.

I REALLY need to finish my website. If I want this business to take off, then I need to get into high gear. The only problem is that I spend all of my time working on stuff for clients. I put my stuff last. Ugh. Maybe one day I'll get it online. :)

Yes, I know I'm fucked up. :) I should really get to work on my clients' stuff. But at 1 am I just can't think about website design. Sorry!

So, I've decided to go back down to part-time at Costco. I'm getting enough freelance work on the side to more than cover the difference. Besides, it's difficult to work 40 hours a week at Costco, then work every other free minute on the computer. I would like to spend a little free time with Matt, although he doesn't have much time either. I'm not reallly complaining though, because life is pretty good right now. :)

Today I had a day off, and I was goofing off in photoshop as opposed to working on the stuff that I actually get paid for.

What I made when I should have been working on other stuff

Here is my extremely long to-do list (for both work and personal life):

So, after the urging of my friend Travis, I decided to join MySpace. I'm quite excited, because there are people I graduated high school with, and I've missed them something fierce. I know that I am the reason to blame for losing contact with them. I mean, I wasn't exactly healthy in my college years. I just didn't care about anything (except for Matt). But, now that I'm getting healthy, hopefully we'll stay in touch, and hang out when they come into town (wink wink Janette!).

Janette, Tara, Jess, and Melissa: I've missed you guys, and I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch! *hugs*

Here is a terribly long questionnaire that I feel like filling out for particular reason.

Matt does NOT like the pic I just made in Photoshop. He says it's "too creepy," but that was the whole point. I'm rather proud of it. :(

I put the original next to it for comparison:

Happy pills are good. Side effects gone with the urge to kill everyone. I was supposed to up the dosage, but I didn't because I was responding so well to the 10mg. Why overmedicate myself? I don't want to be on this stuff forever, unlike the majority of this country who thinks that taking a little white pill is going to make everything better. The stress isn't going to immediately disappear people! You have to make a concious effort to improve your life, not just take a prozac.

I'm done talking about the happy pills now.
