February 2004 Archives

So, I am about to head up to Berry to see Paul *grins+smiles.*

I called mom, to say I'm leaving and all, and then she starts talking.

"Honey, go ahead and go. I am making triple chocolate cake, but that's fine, Corey and Iris will eat it"

"Ohh, your granma left you some candy, but that's ok. You aren't gonna be here, so I'll just give it to Carla, Richie, and Jaime."

"Ohh, and I am also making some traditional Brazilian Style flan, but by the time you get back, there probably won't be any."

"I will be making chocolate pave (it's a delicious desert, that she hasn't made in 9 years) and then me and your sister are going to eat some Chees Pastel (a brazilian turnover style fried dish, filled that can be filled with many things, and it's delicious)"

"You know what, me and your sister are leaving to Miami in a little bit. We will see you when you get back."

"It's chilly when you go to sleep, so wear 3 pants, 4 socks, 8 pairs of underwear"

So, as she goes through those things, I am just laughing out really loud in the middle of the steps. I am sure I look amusing to everyone, but I was amused myself.

That's my mom's way of saying she is fine with things. She is also worried a bit, like always, which is natural. She is a mother. When I am 55, she will still tell me to start my car early, because it's going to snow and so on.

Well, just wanted to share this tidbit of zanyness on behalf of my ever so crazy family.

Without me noticing much, weight has crept back up on me. Granted, I am not obese, but I've gained weight back some. Well, it's granted that my diet has changed to the not so good as of late. MWF 2 bacon egg and cheese croisants in the morning. Snack on cashews, or get something small to eat. When get home, eat 4 egg sandwiches. The 4th one doesn't have a purpose. I was always a person to make 3 and never more. They are small sandwiches, but 4 is too much. I do eat at subway pretty much every other day, and ask for extra mayon on sandwtich. The delicious corn muffin I have is very high in fat. Again, my consumption of cashews has raised a whole bunch. Yes, they serve a purpose, but at times, it's discustingly fatty. I mean, the cashews have a sheen of their oil covering them. It's just bad for one.

So, my diet has gone from not bad to very bad in a very short time. The things in it are very easy to make and consume, but it's throwing my body out of wack. I've been losing weight before this, but it's all coming back fast. I hate having to deal with such things. I need to get myself in line for those things to be good again.

Again, it's a tall dose of bitching I do on this subject every once in a while. What do I do about it? Well, I screw it up even further when things were starting to go good with it.

Sooooo

Yeah

What to do this time...

I do have an idea, that should work. I just need to actually do my plan that I already created multiple times, and stop eating junk food, cashes, corn muffins, and too many egg sandwiches.

I shall do that. *raises hand in a might pose, that is very mighty indeed*

Today, I have a not much fun entry about work. Boss just came from main corporate office 2 days ago, and there are changes @ work.

The main one that concerns me, is that he will be hiring a full time morning person. That person will work 9 to 6 everyday. That's good, except he is only budged for 1 person and a half. That translaters to me losing my full time status. I was taken back when I got those news. I had a bit of time to think about, and as I was sitting there and discussing, my heart bit a bit faster, because I was nervous, then my vision got a bit blurry, and I got a headache after that. The headache was gone within the hour, so it wasn't bad.

I now have to find either a new job, or just switch to another position in the store. Suraj suggest I should try Customer Service, or simply serve the other part of my time as a cashier. I am pondering about it, but then I have goals I have to meet, and different rules I have to abide to. I don't mind it that much, but I would rather not have to change things.

I talked to mom, and she said that everything happens for a reason, and look at the situation in a positive manner. Paul told me to think happy thoughs, and sent some hugs over to me. If I don't think happy thoughs I received the threath of no more cuddling. That is just mean and cruel, so I opted for happy thoughts. *smiles*

Ok, just wanted to note the fact that I have to get some things changed in my life. It's all good though, because everything else in my life is good, and I can take things along well.

*Special thanks to Paul for being something good, and that I can look forward to.

Here's a little story, about how I have no brain.

We left the theathre and went to Applebees. I sat on the table, took my digital camera of jacket's pocket, and put my jacket besides me. I was of course nervous having a chance to sit down and talk to Paul. The waiter had to come back 2 times before I had my order, since I was so busy talking to Paul. I ordered my food, we ate, and I enjoyed it overmuch. The ladies besides us kept glancing at us and grinning. It was interesting overall. Last call for alky was loud, and so was the huge announcement that the wrestling team of I don't care were won.

So, I got a to go box and put my chicken inside, I paid my ticket and go ready to leave. I got my jacket, and followed Paul to the exit.

Now, what is the problem in this scenario. Yes, I got a to go box and forgot my food. I realized it after I got to Paul's Dorm room. I remember chaning out of my work clothes in the restroom, and just put everything else in my bag.

Of course I left in the morning, and had to go to work. Granted I was late, since after I got home, I took a little nap, and that turned into a large nap, and I was late by 1 hour. I gotta remember not to take naps when I am exhausted.

After work, I emptied my bookbag, where I had all my clothing in, and was missing my Camera. I called paul and asked if it was at his place but it wasn't.

!!! - I lost my digital camera somewhere

Yes, I tracked back, and thought to call and check more places, then I realized. After the play, I had the camera on my jacket's pocket as I said before. I put it on the table and FORGOT IT THERE!!!

This morning, I called Applebee's in Rome, GA. I talked to them, and told them I had forgotten my camera. The lady came back and said it wasn't there. *ugh* Then I said, ohhhh, not today. I forget it on Saturday. She came back, asking for a description. Which of course means she had some camera there. I told her, and she said it was there. *boogies to the good news*

So, My digital camera, is now in Rome, sitting in a safe. I did not think it would be there. Everyone said how lucky I was, because it was bound to be kept by a waiter or a bystander.

*Declares a toast for honest people*

I just gotta go there, and pick it up now. I will probably get a chance to go there and get it on Friday.

I went to visit Paul in Rome. It was a visit I enjoyed. I will use paul's entry as part of mine, since his imagery describes everything in a great way. When I got there, I went to watch Taming of the Shrew, which is a play he had a part on. Now that I got the backgrounder out, here are the images of the day, on the POV of Paul...

Green room, warmups, peek, HI! and run away (don't get caught).

Face in the crowd, flashing smiles.

Hi...(awkward moment).... FOOD!!!!, directions, applebee's, gaydar, mirror drinking.

New way back, casual flirting, hand-back, roommate, watch your head!

Comfort, Annoying friends, mischief making, .o0(FINALLY!).

How to lay with a Man 101, pullout bed, talking, flirting, blue christmas lights, coughing (ugh), watching him sleep.

Blink, alarm, sheer poetry, beauty, comfort, content, happyness, bouneries intact, trust.

.o0(was it all a dream?)

Delay.... delay some more.... delay even more...... Have to go...

Beautiful sunrise, deer, geese, heron, pictures, Delay some more.....

See you soon, dance, God, more deer, chilly, content.

So, this entry, albeit, brief, and lacking in full detail, is necassary.

Talking with a new person, that seems interesting. Slowly figuring out what matches, and what does not. Most things match so far, but more talking ensues. He needed to go to sleep, so I bid him goodnight just a second ago.

Again, for matter of reference, Suraj (who introduced me to this new fella) is always thinking something. He just comes says something, and later follows up. I got no details about anything as I started the conversation today. It was a blind chat. Granted I so far enjoyed the chat.

I am not a mind reader, so I don't know what the person I was talking to was thinking in the back of their head.

As always, I am a bit weary of new things. Not anything in a negative way, but I like to have a footing, and figure out where things lead.

I got his LJ addy from his profile, but read not but a few entries when I talked to him. I got an insight on his writing manerisms, but wanted to get the full scope of everything directly from him. I have left a message on his diary, and since I have not a single private entry, he will be able to see everything I posted.

He lives a bit far away, but that's not really an issue. I might in the time management area, but I like driving to places. Well, just gotta remeber to have a nice CD to go along *grins*

I will post on how things move along. Granted at times, I had that queezy feeling on my stomach. It's not a bad queezy. I usually have that feeling when I see two guys kissing on TV.

I shall not make assumptions, or plan anything or expect anything from this. Doing so would be setting myself up for falling. I've fallen before, and now would just like to follow things along as they progress. I know the intentions of the people who arranged the chat. I shall not follow their mindset, until I can see clearly through the other side.

I really have to keep tabs on myself to go slow with things. That is no biggie, but the thing is I am friendly, and get confortable with people at times, faster than I should.

Well, I am going to sleep to, so I can be ready and able to work tomorrow.

So, I seem to have a ongoing theme of work related things. Well, today, I will add a little bit more to it.

My boss is going to be gone until next Monday. Most people are happy when their boss are gone. Although, I am as always, a little bit weary. The reps do a shoddy job at times, and without someone to go to and solve their sales and prices issue, things become difficult. I feel the the errors percentage will increase just slighly. Since h im being there doesn't have that much bearing on it.

Besides that, today was quite an interesting day. I did a good job at managing my level of being annoyed. The side effect is that, my patters of speech changed. I spoke in a dry manner. I just spoke word by word, without smiling, and was very cordial. Usually I use a warmer tone and smile.

Today, as I said, there were many issues, and shows a lack of management and follow through. Things that could have been avoided came about. It would be nicer to have a mon-fri coordinator. Someone that would know the issues, and would be able to add a consistency to the randomness of the area.

Ohh, and I still don't have a computer on my cube. That just raises my degree of frustation a notch high.

I just hope this week goes well. I say ahead of time, I cannot be blamed if any reps are someone blasted toward the sun. *grins*

So, yesterday I went to brad's house and we played some poker after school. It was mostly rampway peeps. Joe W, Brad of course, Nancy, Rin, Her roomate, and Hunter. We didn't play for money, but it was fun regardless. After rin and her roomate left, we played yahtzee. In the beggining it too a little bit to understand, but it was a very fun and entertaining game. It's fast paced and everyone is close together just acting silly. So kudos for Yahtzee.

Ohh, and there was one more thing. He said I was good with team work, but I helped too much the retail team. One rep told him that, of course that was Gregg, the ManChild. There was one other rep, but he didn't name him. Another rep said I didn't teach Gregg nicelly. Well, YEAH, since at times I despise the guy. He bugs me, annoys me, and causes unnecessary work for me, and entices uncessary conflict.

Also, my job encompasses the whole store. Granted, I am have been there long enought that I actually worry about more facets of things then I should. It gets me a bit away from corporate, but it's overall better. Umm, but I can't really argue that with my direct boss, who is Corporate entirelly.

Just wanted to add that.

Today, my 2 year review was completed. I got a 3 on it, which is right in the middle of 1 and 5, being low and high respectivelly. I had high notes, but they were offset by low. I got high points in my Operational skills, Attention to detail, Kwoledge of the systems. I got low on internal customer service, Sales of service, and being on time. I am always 5-8 minutes late. Also, I don't push all the services that much. One reason for that being, with the systems set up the way they are, it's impossible to get any credit. Hence, it gives me no drive to do that. I have sold service on products before, but I don't see a single cent out of it.

As far as me treating the reps without being polite, and professional, it holds somewhat true. Granted, I am overall professional at work, I can be a bit nasty to get reps. Also, I am not as nice to my Direct Manager, the one that did the review. I wish I wasn't acting as such, but I have analyzed things a bit, and my attitute towards them is rather ucky. I could be more professional towards them. I take care of their issues, and fix their problems. That is no problem. I just ignore them a bit, and sometimes treat them a bit offish, like spoiled annoying kids. If they actited overall better, I would do the same. Although, I should be courteous to them regardless, since it's part of my job.

Ohh, and he mentioned not mixing my personal issues with work. See, that one was a hit and miss. There isn't much that warrants that, except for the fact I get into work in a pissy mood. It might seem as an "personal issue," but it's more like the issue of me hating being there. Well, I don't really hate being there, but there are times, that I really really wish I could discontinue my stay.

Overall, a 3, is like doing ok. I am balanced, but not standing out. I don't know if it warrants me a raise or not. Although, I am pretty sure if I don't get a raise, my general feeling towards work, will not improve that much.

Work is work, and plenty of people don't like their jobs. I'm glad I am not in a worse job. There are plenty of jobs that are just bad, and nasty, and cause much more grief than mine. For that I am glad I work were I work, but there's room for improvement. In the meantime, I will go along, and collect my paycheck.

Well, on me previous entry, I laid down some basic things that are causing the job to be bad, but there are some details.

When I mentioned that my review was comind, after I had a calm me down talk with my boss, he replied "Ohh yeah, now I got some thing to use." I just fake laughed, and finished the conversation.

Also, to make things worse, we have hired a new rep, and he is on my cube. I mean, his cube, because it's not mine anymore. My computer is not mine anymore. I had my desk, and everything set up, but it's not mine. I have another cube, on the other side of the cubes, with a computer that is old, and slow. I guess I don't care that much to my boss. I wasn't even given the courtesy of being told I was being moved, until I asked.

The feeling of coming to work, clocking in, and going to my own cube was nice. Until, I tried that, and there was someone there. I felt betrayed. I provide support, and help fix mistakes, and I get to lose even more priviledges. Ohh goody, sign me up for another year please.

Ohh, just last week, all the computers were being used on the desk, and I hopped on my old cube, and asked the person sitting there, if I could look something up right quick. To which I got a look, and said nevermind. He then replied, "Thanks." That got to me deep.

Yeah, the reps say thank you for this, and thank you for that. It's just mindless dribble. I do help them, and help them, and help them. It's part of my job to provide support to them.

Really, if on this review, I don't get a raise, I will have to reconsider things. This is my second annual review. I've been there longer than that, but since my job title chanced after I got hired, the review timer got reset to then.

Frankly, I am not all that driven at work. I do my daily tihngs, and fix the daily problems, but come up with nothing new. It felt great one day, when I came on a day off just to finish stuff up. I did things according to what I felt necessary. They all got completed, and it felt nice. It gave my a sense of accomplishment and purpose. I knew my work enviroment was a bit better after that. I wish I had more days like that. Days where I can innovate, and improve. I like having a true sense of purpose, and a goal.

There are many things that need to be changed, and can be changed. One just has to take their time, and plan those changes. Things are usally rushed through, and since issues always escalate, they are half done. I have half done lists, and half done reports, and barelly there issues. There is no cooperation, so things just shift around, with noone really completing it.

My job direcly affects my mood most of the time. And everthing being crappy, really doesn't help things along.

I thought about quitting, and trying to find a new job. It's just not convenient at the time. I still have to finish this semester of school out. While I do it, I need to have a job that is full time. I can't afford a gap in income influx.

As long as I am not stripped of more things that are necessary for me to be effective at work, I will not put my notice in.

Well, see, that's I question I had to ask myself. How is work?

It very well depends on who you ask. Although the general concensus is that it's not going well. There are some minor job cuts, and some people quit. The warehouse guy, with no notice, and someone from my side, also with no notice. So, we have more budget now? Do we, Do we? The budget is the thing that is worried about the most. We have more and more competition, and ther is a Fry's Electronics coming to the area. Well, that means, we will have even less traffic to our store. Although other businesses in the area are also cutting hours, and everything. I wish it wasn't like that, but there is no choice.

Now, the climate at work? Well, it's not hostile, but there are disagreements everywhere. I about a week ago, got labeled insubordinate in a situation by my direct boss. Granted, I were talking over the cubes. He told me to chill out, and I told him that I was just a tense person, to let me get back to my duties, and that is the end of the conversation. To which he replied, "As soon as you are done, I want to see you in my office." What was I insubordinate for? His request for me to control the way I feel? F*ck that. Granted, we did say that over the cubes, which was not very appreciative of everyone else trying to work.

I go to work, I don't want to be there. I just go in, have a task list I have to run trough. Although, I have enough interuptions, and issues that needed not to exist. This make it hard, if not impossible to be effective the way some people want me to.

The managers really don't help. There is no recognition for doing the right things. If one try to say something, they always turn it around, and spit back something that is negative, and not constructive. Or, they say some meaningless garble, and working together, just so the next second they can take away even more.

Hey, haven't I planned this before?

I remember complaining about this. I remember planning for that. I remember going over that.

It's weird how the same things in my life keep rotating their state, yet they are all there still.

I was reading previous entries, and then, entries after that. Somehow, things kept coming back to the surface, and then they were never written about again. It's weird, I should have all those things investigated, and figured out by now. Yet, the amount of repetition just amazes me. It's a cycle of events and ideas. There is variation on how they happen, but the underlying reasons are still there.

They involve things as: Eat better, Work Out, Clean Room, Time Management, Not sleeping on time, studying, Find BF, random complaints about inadequacy, that are all similar. They have been there, and are there still. I also can't forget the long list of gripes, and then the long list of how I plan to change things. It's amazingly similar. I have passed through some of the past issues, but not without them repeating also.

I gather all the info, I put it together, I track it, I put it aside, it gets burried under something else, so I create a new one, and so on and so forth.

So, what can get me out of this cycle? That is something that I got to think about. What do I need to do to be able to achieve my goals and get things to go right this time. I have thought about this before, and times before that.

I could write things down, and plan it out. Then again, I have a full plan. I probably just expect to change too much at one time instead of making incremental changes. So, I then look at the situation in a scope that is much too broad. I need to narrow down, and take smaller steps. Change one thing, and not just create this huge turn around change. That will just cause me to back out entirelly of the whole thing, and make it useless.

Hmm, so I planned a new plan. A plan to not plan that much, so the plan works. Sounds like a plan, and a simple plan I can stick with. I have already started the plan, and hey, it's a plan that's good. I started taking small steps on things again. I have been not eating candy, and opted for peanuts on sudden cravings. I have started to study again, and this time, I study a little bit, and it does not feel so overwhelming. I am getting more changes to hang out with my friends, while at the same time managing things at home.

I did that all without a true plan, I just made small changes here and there, and thereafter, I added a change or two more. Although, only if I felt comfortable. Gradual is better. Which reminds me of the commericial to stop smoking. A steep line up, but then, the line was brought down, and it was just a walk heading up, and not a huge slope.

I traced too many huge slopes on sheets of paper. I am sure if I look through my paper boxes, I can find plans similars to recent plans I have around my desk. Slow and moderate is good. I do things that get me slighly out of breath. If I keep at it, those activitues won't make me out of breath. I started doing my night crunches, and I have meals in the morning times more now.

I am beggining to eat earlier during the day, instead of snacking late at night. So far it's something to adapt, since I am used to eating after I get off work at night.

Changes are good, but if you just tack them on a huge pile, it's not easy to carry. Little changes over time, are much more likelly to be kept, because they become parts of one regime. They become part of the daily repetition that everyone goes through.

So, to get my bad habits out, I need to replace them slowly with good habits. It's easier to do when you take the right perspective.

Well, I think I am done with this entry. I write here, because it helps me sort things out, and also I get a change to go over things I have done, and what I thought of things before.

Eats, it's a restaurant downtown, it's cheap, and pasta dishes are it's main dishes. Pick the Pasta, pick the sauce, add a little pepper for vegies, or meat, and that's it. You pay, and in a minute or two, your dish is ready. It's kewl. I went there with Suraj, and Andi (his sis) and Paras, and Tine, and Paras sister. It was fun to eat there. I got ziti with alfredo sauce. The alfredo sauce tasted good, it was not pretentious, and it was not overcooked. It was good, and it had a good amount of cheese in it. I was happy with it, *grins*

It was a fun random thing.

While there paras explained that the organization he works with was doing a mentoring program for some schools in Atlanta. He said people would go there monday, and thursday, and help kids out. We would have packets ahead of time of the information we would be dealing with, the kids would do them, and we would help afterward. The program teaches kids science and math, and it's supposed to influence them in the future.

Well, I heard what he had to say, and he was very enthusiastic about it. It pays for the hours we are there, which is good. I am still deciding if I want to participate of not. I am a little iffy in adding more things into my life. This semeser I planned to simplify things, yet, things are slowly being presented that would counter my plans. Then again, the things I did plan aren't getting executed, and I am just wasting that time. I get into a decision mix, if I commit, then I will wonder why I am not doing the things I planned before.

As of right now, I am not overly interested in it. It seems like a good thing to do, but it's something that will be added to a list of things I already can't handle. If I had better time management, than, I would consider, but I lack that big time.

gah. it is hard to find a cologne that fits me, and that does not make of sneeze. also all of them keep getting kidnapped by bf of sis or roommate. ohh well.

i have been lazy and really need to start working out again. i should start again today but i an not sure if i will. i shall try. :)

I was stressing about my math test, and well, I got 100 on it. I am very happy about that. Also, I went to fix someones computer yesterday, and go $50 for doing so. That was good too.

Ohh, and I finally dropped an application at Rampway. I applied for "Quality Engineer." I will work with the interfaces that the users use, and report and error and bugs, so they can be fixed by the coders. It's something that I was interested in doing, but never mustered up the courage to just go and apply. I talked to Ness, and she said no problem, and I am just waiting for final answers from Joe. He seemed happy that I wanted to join in, granted he is the director, so of course.

Just a quick update on happy happy things. *smiles*

this is just a test from my cellphone

Something new. A Situational Breakdown, where I break down an event, and analyze options and other things. This will be the first one I will try.

Situation: Suraj, Colt, Linnea, Shelly, going for ice cream.

Background Info: So, was getting off work today. Colt and Suraj were pretty much going out the door. Since it was the weekend, I sure thought that their girlfriends would be there. Although before seeing them, I said I am heading home to Suraj. I then saw Linnea and Shelly sitting on the car. I went over there, said hi and all. I hanged around a bit. Suraj and Linnea were being goofy, couple like goofy. They didn't know where to go. Suraj annouced they were going to go to Friday's on Sunday to get ice cream. It's a pun of sorts too. Soon after a minute or so, I headed to my car.

Breakdown: Ok, now, since I am a person that overanalyses every situation, I did wonder why I didn't get invited. Granted, on previous situations, I made myself part of the convo, and introduced the fact of me going, and it was widelly accepted. Also the 2 last times, there was a person besides me and them. The first time, it was Devin, the second time it was Paras. So, it leads me to wonder.

I wonder, if I am not automatically invited, and need to put myself in the event. I wondered it I was in part of the equation, because as always, they make those plans, meet each other and go somewhere. I just happen to be there. So, then, if I don't invite myself, I was not part of the plan to start with, so if I walk away, then I will not get invited, for said reasons. That is the logical part, and it follows the pattern. Also there is the fact that I am the 5th person, without anyone else following. The other 4 are couples. So, then, my second theory, would be the 5th wheel one. They are now more of a couple then they were before. So, it would make sense for them to go out as couples only. Hence, I was the 5th wheel, and there was no point in inviting me. Granted, I wasn't worry about being invited, but I did go with them the last 2 times I was with them in the same place.

Post Rationalization: Ok, that is all good, and now comes me thinking things I didn't think at the time. I thought of them while driving home. I have a test Monday, and hey, I am glad I didn't go because I have to study. Also, I got things all cleaned up at work, and I should also clean my room. What if I had gone, and then things end up being late. That would be bad, and I would not have had time to study. My friend is going to call me at 10 to ask me for some notes from school. I am lactose intolerant, and they are going to get ice cream. Although, then I realized I did have lactaid in my car. Also, I didn't know where Friday's was, so that's something else. I thought, I could call Suraj, and invite myself. I cancelled that one out, since I wasn't part of the whole thing as I left the driveway. I thought Suraj would call asking. That was just silly of me, for the reason just before. So, I over analyzed everything, and I am sure there was a bit more, but nothing deviating from what was mentioned before. I didn't think anything negative, or self deprecating as I usually do, because I know them, and I know how they are.

Finalization: Umm, this one was nothing I worried about, I just analyzed it after the fact. In the future I should have more insight.

*Aside: Note to self, exchange the wireless keyboard, it really really sucks*

See, when does one know it's pointless to be awake any longer. When it's a good time to go to sleep, when one is not really that tired.

I was sitting here, transcribing old journal entries, and it hit me, I would be better off sleeping. I could have continued transcribing them, but it's not something that does me no good at the moment. I just don't feel like sleeping, and ran out of things to do.

Ohh, but the music is good. I love fun Video Game Music. Right now I am listening to a bunch of midis. I am thinking about making one or two a ringer on my phone. Also, I gotta make sure they sound good on the phone. If they don't, then, they get deleted.

Hehe. Why do I always get ideas to do stuff at night? I could do that during the day, but nooooo, it has to be right about the time I should go to sleep. I should really write the ideas down, since I would like to do them anyways. So, hehe, I will blog them now, how about them apples eh? *smiles*

Ok...

* Revamp website content. Add more pictures, add an about page, and a public AIM name so you can be contacted.
* Get all the old journal entries, and transcribe them.
* Make sure not to leave plates on the scanner any time over the night they were used.
* Download more ringtones. Go to the web, and make sure everyone has a picture assigned to them on picture id.
* Devise a eating plan again, because there is still money going to junk like food
* Now that studies are in line, start working out

Lol, Yeah, I just finished taking my Calc 1 test. I was stressing over it, but I ended up going to the math assistant lab in the morning today, and got my final pressing questions answered. I understood what the hell I was reading, and the next logical step to take. So, I am not very much happy, and by Friday hopefully, I will have results.

*happy, happy, happy, happy, giddy*

Now, I just have to keep up with the class, and do all the homework, and all that stuff. If I don't, I will get have to go through all this crap again, and I frankly don't want to.

Ohh, and on another note, I am happy that Chris left. Chris would be a roommate, and I am glad he left. He has not paid rent for Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb. So, he was just a drain on everyone's resources. His room was empty this morning, and yesterday at night I heard boards squeaking outside my room.

Well, mom is happy, since he was being useless, and also for the fact that he didn't pay rent. Not to mention he had this weird fixation on her, and she never felt comfortable sleeping in her usual attire.

So, yeah. I am studying, and the house does not have any negative people, and things are going well, and I am happy happy about it all. It's been some time since life has been happy in a lot of places. *grins*

Now, that is something that is peculiar. I've had a completely guiltless outing with people. Not to say, that I have guilty outings, but this time, there was no weird bad feeling anywhere in it. I didn't wander out, and separate myself from the group. That was peculiar, and something that doesn't happen much. I'm happy about it.

Me, Surge, Linnea, Paras, Devon, Colt and Shelly. We all kinda went to Jillians first. Well, they went, and I got lost for about 20 minutes. Although, I wasn't really lost. I just took the wrong way to get to the road. Then, I stopped at the gas station, and accidentally took the wrong road, which I thought was the right road. Then, I took it back to the main road, and I figured out it was the road I wanted to be in, which I got off on accident. So, I continued the wrong way, on the right road, until the road ended. So, I took the right road, the right way, and got to Jillians. Well, I got there, we decided we were gonna to see what was playing on the movie theatre. Then, we just decide to go eat, that is because nothing was gonna be playing at the theatre anytime soon. The movies either had already started, or were about gonna play 1 hour later. So, we all head to Frontera (Mexican Restaurant.)

Surge got this "El Gigante" burrito. It's the kind of thing that if you eat it all, then you get a T-shirt. Yeay, it's like a huge vat of beans, covered with a LOT of lettuce, then, there is some tomatoes on the side, and lots of sour cream. It's huge. Surge said he was gonna eat it all, but, well, umm. He did not. He ate a bit over 3/4's, but then he started asking questions like "Waiter, do I have to eat the garnish too?" A that point, it was obvious that he was not going to finish it.

Otherwise, I had fun, there was lots and lots of laughing, and happiness, and we were all merry. Ohh, it's worth mentioning that Suraj is with Linnea, but everyone knows that. Although, the thing is, the adorable couple, got Colt to go on a Blind date with Shelly. So, the two are slowly, but surelly, becoming a couple. Colt is happy about it, and he does not hide it. So, I am happy for them. Also, Paras, is going on a date tomorrow, which is mighty nifty. Good thing, this all didn't phase me today. I was just happy to hang out, and if everyone is a couple, then it's good for everyone, because we are all happy for each other. So, an extra helping of smies for everyone. Yeay!!!

Ohh, and free pizza at work today, to sort of commemorate superbowl. Yeah yeah, superbowl nice, but Pizza, that is nifty. Although if you were seen eating pizza, you were automatically deducted the 30 min of lunch time. Granted, everyone took a little more just to enjoy. *grins*

Hmm, as a mental note, I gotta figure out someone about something. Yep, Yep.
