Open Diary - deal_withit2 http://www.opendiary.com/entrylist.asp?authorcode=A242629 asking for advice..and whining OMG ! http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=A242629&entry=10299 <span style="BORDER-RIGHT: black 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: black 1px solid; BACKGROUND: purple 0% 50%; OVERFLOW: auto; BORDER-LEFT: black 1px solid; WIDTH: 5px; BORDER-BOTTOM: black 1px solid; HEIGHT: 10px; moz-background-clip: initial; moz-background-origin: initial; moz-background-inline-policy: initial" align="center"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> </tbody> </table> OMG! OMG! OMG! The coolest, most unexpected thing happened! SO, the back story is I haven't been too impressed with my job and the way things are going...so I went out kind of looking for greener pasteurs. I found a company that seemed decent enough and was close...so I applied, went through the interview process, and was offered a position!  Anyway, I went to my boss and said, "Do you want the long version or the short version?" He said the short version so I said "Okay, I was offered a position elsewhere which I am thinking of taking because I cannot stand being around Mike for another second." We went into his office where he just offered me a promotion! To Project Administrator! How awesome is that! More $$$, better bonuses, and I will NOT have to be under my current boss anymore!!!!!!! Plus the lady that I CAN'T STAND is being fired!!!! They gave her one weeks notice!!!  AND, I am taking over her position. This is a dream come true.  What goes around comes around! Paybacks a bitch!

My front page used to be kick-ass, and now I just have a bunch of guys I think are hot. Oh well. I had a different Christopher Meloni one up there, but it got taken off with a note that says hotlinking it back to the site is not allowed. Rookie mistake. It kinda sux cuz all I wanted was his pic. Obviously I wasn't using it to PROMOTE anything.<img src="http://www.opendiary.com/images/smileys/0009.gif"> {sigh} I am just grumpy. I have had this ANNOYING headache for the past few days. I was nearly useless at work Thursday and Friday which SUCKED because I have been impressing my boss as of late. My review is coming so I am trying to make a good impression. They are already going to make me more active in my department (Estimating) which is great...for now. It's not really where I want to be. So I am trying to do REALLY well, so I can show that I am a capable person. Of course, you do always run the risk of being too good so that they don't want to lose you. I have made it VERY clear that I have no intention of climbing up the ladder in estimating. I only say this becuase a woman who worked there got fired and they might be less inclined to let me go at this moment. Kris (this woman I hate...horrible person...who used to work in my position before I was hired in) has been doing TERRIBLE in her job, and think it would be HILARIOUS if I got promoted and she got placed back in my position! HAH!<img src="http://www.opendiary.com/images/smileys/0025.gif"> Sometimes I have a warped sense of humor...but she has really been awful to me.  I would LUV to see her get hers. Sat, 7 May 2005 0:00:01 GMT Nice = screwed http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=A242629&entry=10297  It's amazing how I NEVER freakin' write anymore. It's not that nothing happens, it's just that I am usually to tired to re-hash it. Let's see. I am fighting with my parents right now. Just cause my sister and I share a house (and my parents are paying her share) does NOT mean they can just come in and declare that I am not paying enough and say that I have to pay more rent. Um, excuse me. Yes, I do believe that is MY name on the lease. If they didn't like the arraingments they shouldn't have okay'd it when we all moved in. YEs, individually, I do pay less than my sister, but that is because my boyfriend and I share a room. If you can find someone else to come in and pay $825 to rent a room, be my guest. Plus we pay for EVRYTHING else. The washer,dryer, refrigerator, stove, and living room TV are ours. If they break is ANYONE else going to pay to have it fixed? I also buy every light bulb, dryer sheet, and paper towel in the house. We also pay for the gardener. Ugh. Then she has the nerve to say that she HELPED me get out of our old house. We were HAPPY there. No one said we had to be rescued. Rescued from what? Okay, so it wasn't the nicest house in the world. But we could afford the rent, it was in a nice neighborhood, we had privacy, AND I didn't have to beg my sister, and our other roomate for utility $$$. Yes, I also take care of the bills. This is BS. The funniest thing is that Will and I didn't even WANT to move. We thought we were doing my parents a a favor. They were moving to Colorado and my sister didn't have anywhere to go. So they asked us to find a place with her and we said OK. SO much for being nice. No good deed goes unpunished. Till next time... Sun, 1 May 2005 0:00:01 GMT Another OD Topic http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=A242629&entry=10296 Do you live your life for yourself? Or is it controlled by others? GOOD topic! I LIKE to believe I live my life for myself, but then I would be kidding myself. If I truly did, it wouldn't bother me so much what ppl say. My mothers little remarks would slide right off my back. Even though I know Will doesn't mean too, he does as well. Sometimes I want to do certain things and he doesn't, but I will go along with what he wants to do. I don't know why I do that. At work, I tend to agree with ppl just to go along with the flow. Perhaps it's a weird way of getting them to like me. Lately, though, I have been doing the opposite. If they are bitchy with me. I am being TWICE as bitchy back. Some ppl are asking what is wrong with my lately. It's funny how people can dish it out, but not take it. Moving on...going to Colorado for my Dad's birthday on the 8th.Kendahls not. The little brats going to Hawaii with her boyfriend Jake. Coming back on the 11th. Going to my aunts for Easter (hoping not to stay long.)  Ack, go to get back to work!. Lates, Ashley Thu, 24 Mar 2005 0:00:01 GMT OD topic. http://www.opendiary.com/entryview.asp?authorcode=A242629&entry=10295 Hello, all. I think today I am going to write about the OD topic."What scares you the most?"I guess I could start off with the physical things- snakes, ax murderers, clowns. But those are obvious. Well, to ME, not to those of you who don't know me. The other things I am scared of is being alone, the unknown, and having nothing to look forward to. I guess "THE UNKNOWN" is pretty broad. I was thinking of death. I am not scared of the physical act of dying, but more of what happens afterward. I do not believe that's it. It's so depressing. But, part of me thinks...what if it IS it. I don't necessarily believe in hell, but I also think...what if there IS a hell. Normally I don't think about these things a lot...but sometimes I'll be awake at 3:00am , and these thoughts will run through my head.Spooky. <img alt="Smiley" src="htmlarea/plugins/InsertSmiley/smileys/0022.gif" /> Thu, 3 Mar 2005 0:00:01 GMT
