At a loss for ideas and this came to mind today. I stumble upon this one a while back over at The Ginger Blog Man and just fell in love with it instantly. I've now added Grimes to my Pandora player so I can randomly hear them throughout the day. I love it!
So while you're listening to that, I'm going to cram in a Random Tuesday while I'm at it! :) Excited aren't you?
Torn as to if I want to start with the happy or not so much... I hate to even bring in the not so happy stuff. so maybe I wont!
But I will show you a couple of other photos I have for the day!
Saw this on my walk home from Mama MB's this afternoon. I guess in all the days past I've been so busy that I haven't "stopped to smell the flowers" so to speak. It's water lily I think is what it's called. I though it was lovely and it made me think of you my dear Dingleberries!
It's been another hellish days today. One of my co-workers called me last night and said he was no longer employed with the company. I couldn't/can't believe it. It's insanity. The fact that the company let him go, for the BS reasons listed and stated. Just blows my mind. I know we're a right to hire, right to fire state. But what.the.fuck. He was such a good employee and yes he'd been in a slump as of lately and had developed a nice attitude and a certain " i hate my job" feel but we all do that.
To fire someone, who has put their blood, sweat, tears and time into the company. Bent over backwards and lost so much time and sleep in their normal lives. To just fire them like that? I've lost all respect for those people I call my bosses. It breaks my heart really!
Pokey had her first parent/teacher conference today. Unfortunately on my way there I manage to catch a nice speeding ticket! I was really kinda pissed off about that. I haven't gotten a ticket in like 5 years or something. It's total BS that she caught me speeding. Not that it's any excuse and I shouldn't be bitching.. But in my defence.. I thought I was out of the school zone, I was following with the other vehicles in front of me. What do they call it? Staying with the flow of traffic and well I just don't think I should have to suffer this blow. It's bullshit I tell you!
They put a court date on the ticket.. You bet your sweet ass I'm going to be sitting in that court room on December 5th. I hear if you go to court it will most likely be reduced and if the cop doesn't show it can just get thrown out! ::fingers crossed::
With all of that up there, I guess I did share the not so good, but it all started out like this!!
Up early (the norm) and left early for work this morning. Being late on Monday and then leaving early on Tuesday. Has a certain way of affecting how much money I have at the end of the week. Which is usually none.
Tina (my car) is being a POS this week. No idea why. Something...electrical? I have no idea. All I know is I reallllly need a new to me car. Not something typical for me to say but I think it's true!
I had no idea the Mazda 5 was a minivan? Has it always been that way? I'm in love with the Mazda 3. In love with it! So there you have an early morning sunrise in Georgia!
I hope everyone had a FABULOUS Tuesday, all in all. Mine was OK. Something about those short days at work. Really makes the day better!
It's been a helluva Tuesday... I didn't make it into work this morning, damn car trouble. My car sure does know how to mess up a perfectly good day!
It was such a hectic day with attempting to charge the battery and walk through the woods to borrow Papa MB's spare battery. Way to start a day. Took just long enough for it to be a waste of trip to take Pokey into school. Apparently it's pointless to bring kids in past 11am. Is that normal? I've never tried that before, so a first for me!
The end of that video was terrifying!
So as I was saying, it was a helluva day. I'm getting ready to drag my butt to bed, but I didn't want to skip today's post.
Plenty of other posts to work on as well, but I need sleep.
Totally pissed off that The Walking Dead comes on this weekend and I'm not going to be able to see it. I hate Dish and AMC. How dare they not be available to me!
In other, sadder news... I think that our buddy Rhino (the guinea pig) is sickly...Or something. I don't quite know. I hope he doesn't die
Good night Dingleberries, thank you all for your awesome comments on my 365 post.
Car Trouble 101 when it comes to me: There better not be any!
I really really HATE car trouble, more than anything else, as does the majority of the car owning people in this world. So yesterday I opened my big mouth and said I needed a tune up. I do not recall having a tune up done on my car, in like, ever! I've owned said car for 6 years and well, yes, I'm a slacker. I get the oil changed as I'm suppose to and rotate my tires. You know mechanic shops, they will attempt to sell you everything under the sun for your car. It needs a brake flush, it needs a radiator flush. You need an air filter and your oil cap needs to be replaced. Yea, okay. No I'm not paying your $500 bill you got here telling me I need my transmission flushed so that the thing, which has never been flushed can break down 20 mins down the road. No thank you Sir. I will replace that air filter myself, thank you very much, mmmkay bye! Why oh why do they not mention hey you may need a tune-up? You know? Put the bug in my ear so that I can say, Oh yes, I may need a tune up.... But noooo, they leave that out, that and checking the belts.. Never told me I needed any belts either. Perhaps I should find someone else to change my oil and rotate my tires? Ah yes, maybe that is exactly what I need to do.
Back to the point... Man o' the house decides he will change my spark plugs when he gets home.
To make a long story short, that didn't work out so well. I attempted to ride my scooter into work this morning, was fighting the nervousness in my belly and attempted to start said scooter with no luck! Grrr! The battery is DEAD AGAIN. That's okay, take a hint, it's not a good idea, or else the thing would have started. Right? Fine, get in the car. Oh gawd I need gas, which is one of the reasons I was braving up the scooter trip! Leave the complex, OH MY GAWD I'm running out of gas. Racking my brain trying to remember where the closest station is in the direction I'm going. Pull into the Kroger station and get some gas, sputtering and spitting as I go. Whew, I made it. Keep on going.... Oh my god it's still doing it... uuuuggggghhhhh! Yes dear readers, the spark plug boot was not put back on as it should have been. Yes... Got to love my car for being stubborn. Wrapping this up. The guys at work spent ALL day trying to get the spark plugs out of my engine. Picking, piece by piece at the broken boots. Broken due to negligence on my part. My poor lil' baby was sad. Guess what. It's all fixed and runs like a champ. I've got to find someone to replace the belts on my car, but that should be easy enough. Oh wait.... Should it? Oh lawd, another adventure ahead... Just. Can't. Wait!
See, I told you guys I would tell you all about my car/scooter troubles today! :) Have an awesome Friday night. I'm still lacking sleep and need to hit the gym... Just don't know if I will...
