the plan worked!

ladies and gentleman,

I AM DEBT FREE! as of the 15th of march 2010, i do not owe anybody money. i worked out a plan, added up all the credit cards, the house accounts, the car payments, etc. figured out a schedule of how much money i needed to make each month. then i paid it off, one thing at a time. and it worked. and at the same time, i saved money to go on a couple of vacations. granted i had to work 2 jobs, and budget like crazy. but, it is all worth it in the end. now, i get to quit my regular office job, go on some trips, then decide what i want to do. while still keeping one of my jobs.

me being me.....

so, i have discovered about myself that i have a very addictive personality. can't take things in small doses. and everything must be in its own order. for example, the new season of heroes came out in september, instead of just watching the new season, i go back to the beginning of season 1 and start all over. this way, hopefully, when the rest of season 3 comes out i can just watch it all at once. i have no patience. doing the same thing with lost as well. then i found this show called jericho, it was canceled halfway thru the second season. have i stopped watching it, no, just keep right on trucking. i do the same thing with ncis. i mean what is the issue with me. some would even call it a little ocd. i do the same things with books as well, if its a series i am all about starting at the beginning and going to the end. let me tell you a story. harry potter books, i didn't start reading them til the 3rd one came out, then when each new book hit the shelves, i would take the time to read them all before the new book was sold. i'd finish it the day before, buy the new book and stay up all night reading the book til i was completely finished. goes on sale at midnight, read for however long it takes to finish the book. 7, 8, or 9 hours. it didn't matter. i mean that's not right or normal. something is really wrong with me. but, then again, if that's all i've got to bitch about, wtf. i should probably just shut up.

just wanted to stop in and say hi to the world in general. i have 11 weeks before i leave for austria. where has the time gone? in the meantime, i have rehearsals every week, concerts out the wazoo, still have to work my regular office job and work at the bar. this means that i will not be socializing anytime soon. probably not til after may is over. i have got to learn how to say no. it's as simple as that. but my music is very hard for me to deny. oh well, no use bitchin about it, no one wants to hear about it anyway.

so, that's the end of today. tomorrow, is show night at the bar, and the weekend is open for who knows what? we will see what my schedule brings. i'm just glad the holiday's are over. i'm worn out by all the festivities.

just me being me

tis the season and all that other fun stuff. so begins the weekend of gluttony. my weekend is truly only 1 day (thursday), as my jobs require me to work a lot. and then on monday begins the 2 weeks of nothing but music. after looking at my schedule, i have decided that i might have bitten off more than i can chew. 9 days, 11 performances. 2 weeks, 1 day with no music. that says it all right there. and on top of that, it looks like i will be traveling back and forth btwn columbia and jeff city for my regular job. oh well, mileage being .58 1/2 cents/mile that's kinda hard to resist. cause it seems that money makes my world go round. and with me going to austria in march, money is the way to go. so, work work work. then austria for 9 days, looking forward to it, can't wait. and it's all thanks to music. oh well, enough of that.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

people.

so, i was at work talking with a customer about his loans and so on. this woman comes in and asks where a certain address is located. i told her that this was the east version of the address she was looking for and that she needed to go a mile west to find the same address. she then proceeded to argue with me that i was wrong. she then asked me to look it up in the phone book, i told her she could do it herself, and this whole entire time she is interrupting my conversation with the customer, who is being very patient. next, she wants to use the office phone, i tell her no, then she says for me to call for her, i tell her no. then she asks me why not, because i'm obviously not doing anything, and then informs me that i am being rude. that's when i lost all patience. i informed her that i was about to get even more rude, and i had been as patient as i was going to be with her questions and that it was now time for her to leave the building. she then tells me that she is not talking to me, and proceeds to question my customer as to the whereabouts of this address. i then announced that i had had enough and that she would be leaving NOW!!. got up and herded her out the door. didn't even touch her, just stepped into her personal bubble, and like everyone else, she backed up. she then informed me that she would never do business with me, and i told her to have a nice day in my fuck you nice voice.

i mean, what was the purpose of that little visit? was she crazy, or did she think that i would let her do all the things she wanted to do in my office?. well she picked the wrong person for that. i will admit, it did take me a little longer for my temper to flair up. i must be mellowing in my old age. or maybe since i have been running the floor at the bar, my tolerance for stupidity is a lot higher. then again maybe not, just last weekend, i had these idiots in the bar, who couldn't seem to remember not to take their damn drinks on the dance floor. don't you know i snatched it right out of their hands. oh well, i can't change the stupid people. guess i will just have to put up with them. but you would think people would get tired of all of them and check into sterilization. i mean really. snarkiness just abounding today. sorry about that.

I'm just setting up my account. Not sure if i can blog about something everyday. Usually, the only time I blog is if I have something snarky to say about the world in general. This might take a little getting used to, I would usually say that writing is not my thing, and that my inner monologue is not fit for the general population. But, we might as well give it a try and see what happens. Who knows, it might turn out that writing is my thing after all. You know how it goes, you have it set in your mind that no one can make you do something you don't want to do. My thing was school subjects, there were assignments in english, and quite honestly I didn't want to do them, so I didn't, using the lame excuse that I couldn't "write properly". Whatever that meant. I mean how stupid was I, with my vocabulary, please. There is no way that I couldn't put my thoughts down on paper in some sort of structure. The only thing I can say in my defense, I was a teenager and hard-headed to boot. Now those of you that know me, can only shake your head in astonishment and say "stubborn, does not even begin to describe". But, there is nothing else to say about the subject.

So, I will sign off, and post again another day.
