So we already have waaay too much gossip around but I was actually saddened to hear of the loss today of Heath Ledger. I admired him as an actor, thought he was pretty cool and all that, and a little bit cute. Gonna miss ya, gone way too young. Shame these guys can't keep away from drugs. Also shame your daughter is going to miss out on a father as she grows older. What a waste of good talent, maybe his death might serve as a lesson to others to get help /sigh.
Enough of that, so anything new happening? Em no..although did enjoy playing Rockstar the other day with my gfriend and her family, seems I do fairly well singing even if off key :) Forget the drums or guitar but definitely fun. End of the month is fast upon us as well? Didn't we just have Xmas and New Year?
Grateful at the moment to have a job...looking at the economy and what's going on things just aren't looking so peachy right now. Dunno at this point if there is even a fix to be had, I think it's a case of weathering the storm.
Drugs still giving me some trouble at night sleeping. I'll get it right eventually I think, but last night I just didn't wear enough when going to bed. I was warm enough when I went to sleep initially but after awhile I started getting colder and colder, hot water bottle helped some as did the cat, but I just tensed up shivering after awhile. Got to admit I was stupid not to get up earlier and put more clothes on if I had of done I would have gone to sleep again a lot sooner instead of lying there shivering not wanting to get out from the warmth of the covers.

Busy Busy Busy
Busy at work auditor giving us a hard time, and it's frustrating as heck and at the end of the day I can only do so much they all need to talk with each other instead of through me.
Oh rant of the week, why is it people insist on holding their private conversations in the public bathroom stalls at work? I really don't want the person they are talking to hearing me pee and I'm sure they aren't interested in hearing that either, and er can't be none to hygienic either especially that phone. Oh and nor do I want to hear the conversation, not like I can go far when I'm sitting on the throne. The stair well is right next door and 100 times more private if you really want to go somewhere to talk outside of the office I think men and young women are the worst culprits, surely there has to be some kind of phone etiquette somewhere.
Ah and I'm wire free at the office and loving it! I can actually get up walk around forget the phone be away from my desk and still answer. I can turn around and not yank the headset out of my ear. Freedom. And so far everyone has been able to actually hear me which is better than the last one I had. The lifter isn't entirely great with this headset but I can make it work but it won't automatically lower as the hand set tends to slip but all in all it's an improvement.

Compliments from a customer
Had a nice compliment from a customer, it's nice to hear that from time to time. Actually I'll be honest it made my day and I did blush for awhile. /sighs happily and this is why I like my job. No really I do. The good days outnumber the bad stressful ones so I'm a happy campier.
On the downer tho seems recently the drugs I'm taking for MS are giving me one side effect, I think. Currently working on testing this theory but the last couple of times I've taken it I've been shivering forever at night, even had to resort to a hotwater bottle. Now that I've worked that one out I'm going to pay closer attention to it. If I have to take Tylenol that's fine but I need to take it a bit earlier than I did last night waay groggy when I got up this morning and finally dragged my ass out of bed at 6am. Least I still made it to work on time.
Been looking at options for Xmas with my Mum on line, seen some nice places that might work well for the family.

Already half way through January
Hard to believe but we are already halfway through January. Yeesh time is just flying by at an incredible rate. Saw the neuro yesterday, and I won't have to see him now for another 6mths, kidney and liver were doing just fine so he's comfortable with a long bit in between. Jagr's paycheck mess should be resolved today, not sure if anyone's going to get O/D fees refunded but man what a mess they short paid the staff in total something like $19k that's insane, and they wondered why people were upset.
Kinda tired as per normal for me in the mornings. I think a lot of that is I was cold when I went to bed last night, actually got up changed the bed covers and got a hot water bottle I just couldn't warm up. Course woke up this morning sweeting /sigh just can't seem to get a good temperature hehe.
Negotiated my way through some very thick fog this morning, I think that's the worst I've had to drive in yet since I've lived here.

Fog
Well I can't see anything out of the office window right now other than a wall of fog, San Mateo bridge has completely disappeared. Turns out the problem with the leak was the high winds blowing the rain into the chimney and well it was very windy and very wet. They are going to take a look at it but not sure they will be able to do much, long as we don't have to pay the damages for that when we move out I'm fine.
Jagr got a bit of a shock this week he didn't get all of his wages thanks to a lovely new system his company is implementing on their pay system. Apparently another office in the area had problems and they wonder why people are upset..you don't tell people you aren't open to change when you are suddenly docking them money! At least he got some of it but it's way screwed up. He's going to file a grievance, someone should really take a bit of responsibility for it and be able to issue some of these guys emergency checks instead of telling them that they aren't open to change. Well excuse me but when you skip 2k of someone's wages because you are changing the system that they have no control over they should have every right to be upset! Fortunately we will be fine till the next pay period unless they make a similar cock up. Oh and thank you his company for the tax we will get charged on that one when it comes!

Eeep it's been a week!
Alright it's belated I know:( Just been tired and busy lately, work been kinda mad, then when I get home all I want to do is veg. Not really interested much in logging on to the computer. Anyway taking 5 minutes to jot something down and seeing as a lot of lunches this week seem to be spent at my desk I'm not going to feel too guilty about it.
Managed to get the Xmas tree down finally. Got my Xmas present from my husband a glorious magnifying lamp, now I can get to figuring out the mess I've made on the needle work and work much more comfortably.
I have spent the rest of my time listening to an awesome podcast and I'm totally addicted. I am even managing to find some time whilst working to continue listening it's just that good. It's easy enough I can follow without loosing track, important when I have to work at the same time :) But the day is just flying by. Oh yes, time to shamelessy plug this gem it's by Nathan Lowell /sigh so beautifully read sorry JC...all I'm going to say is love it love it love it. I think I'm even going to add it as a permanent link at the bottom! There aren't many that get that honour.
MS is just ticking along, I'm a bit red in spots but I generally heal up enough by the time I get back to that spot. Nothing like 2 red blotches on my belly but then again the only person other than myself that gets to see em is Jagr so I'm not all that worried :)
Got a leak on our roof that the management people are going to be working on over the next few days. Hopefully Jagr will still get enough sleep. Anyway, feeling tired like the weather just grey blah and wet. Then again we do need the rain, and on the bright side I have good hair days.

Happy 2008
Had a pretty cool Xmas if somewhat unconventional dinner. Then went out to the wilds near Yosemite with a friend and his family to celebrate New Year. Downside is Jagr had to work it so couldn't join us. But was a good break, no TV no cell phone service, no city streets just some R&R. Friends made a baby snowman.
Course back at work and going slightly nuts with calls and emails. Guess it will slow down again eventually. Bit worried about the weather tomorrow and the commute the are saying if you don't have to drive tomorrow don't do it...that bothers me a little as there was a nasty accident this morning and that was without the rain!
Lots of wind tonight too but looking forward to a stormy weekend curled up with the PC and playing games mwhahaha!
