Getting Cold

i have spent the day cleaning ... and the house is looking GREAT ... i am so excited ... and i have found a ton of stuff to sell on ebay ... we are going to be able to make some sweet cash ... and i am not even finished so there could be more ...

i found all our winter stuff and i know davie is excited to start bundling up ... in fact he already closed one of our little windows [we only have two down here in the dungeon] i hated to break the news that it isn't near cold enough to start closing the windows ... besides we smoke too much to close windows in this house ... but i was able to move the fans around a bit since it has gotten cooler so they don't need to blow directly on us anymore ... which is nice ... man i love the cold weather ... i love a clean house even more ...

In The City



Yesterday Davie and I spent the day in the city ... and we had such a great time ...

David had an interview with a head hunter at 10 so we took the train up there really early and took a cab to the office and David headed upstairs looking all dapper in his suit ... while I headed across the street to Barnes and Noble ...



I hung out and read through the knitting books ... I really want to teach myself how but after looking through the books I don't know if it is something I can really teach myself ... so I am thinking of taking a class ... anyway back to everything that went on yesterday ...



so the city was weird ... after I left the book store I wandered around and took pictures of posters and stuff in the windows of the store ... everywhere I looked there were flyers hanging up of missing people ... and American flags ... and pictures of the World Trade Center ... it was sad and inspiring all at the same time ... there is such a renewed sense of patriotism it is remarkable ...





after David got out of his interview we went to Starbucks ... got some coffee ... he changed out of his suit ... then we caught a cab and headed to the village ...

Davie got a new pair of sunglasses [shown in the picture above] and we went to this super groovy store called 'Love Saves the Day' ... it was so cool ... there was tons of stuff from the 50's through the 80's ... there were awesome KISS dolls ... a bitchen Yellow Submarine lamp that I wish we could have bought ... the stuff in there was just so amazing ... every kitschy thing you can think of ... I bought a couple of packs of I Love Lucy trading cards ...



then we went to lunch at this great BBQ place and went walking ... we stopped at Urban Outfitters where I got an awesome star necklace and these cute clip things that sit on your desk and you can put notes or pictures or whatever in them ... after walking a bit we caught a cab back to Penn station and headed home ...



it really was a fantastic day and what we both needed ... getting out of the house ... walking around ... having fun with each other ... it has been sometime ...

the city was weird ... the buildings were amazingly dusty ... you could still see puffs in the sky when I was sitting outside smoking waiting for David ... and although people are getting on with their life ... there is a sad look in everyone's eyes ... but at the same time everyone seems to be more connected to each other ...

it was a very interesting day ... and I am glad we were able to experience it together ...

The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies

The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies

In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776


The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America,


When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.


Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.



But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.


Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.




He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.


He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained, and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.


He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.


He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.


He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.


He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.


He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.


He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.


He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.


He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.


He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our legislatures.


He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.


He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:




For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.




He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.


He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.


He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.


He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.


In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.


Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren.




We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.

We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here.

We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.




They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.


We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare.


That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown,


and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved;


and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce,


and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.


And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

New Hampshire: Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple, Matthew Thornton

Room Switching

i don't know what is going on with davie and i but it is making me so unhappy ... i am just bummed out ... if we do speak we are fighting ... and he thinks i like that ... i totally HATE it ...


and i sit here and think of nice things i can do for him ... why i don't know ... right now he doesn't give a shit about me at all ... we seem to be doing the 'room switching' game ... if i am in here ... he is in there ... and vice versa ... i should just go out ... i could go to the craft store and hang out for a while ... give him time home alone ... maybe that will help ... i probably shouldn't drive my car that far ... but it should be ok ...


damn i gotta get that fucking thing fixed ... woohoo something to spend more money on ... right on ...

Can't Win

well i sure do hate fighting with dave ... and right now ... he just hates me ... i'm not quite sure why ... i told him he sucked when he wouldn't get up to help me clean ... but right then he did suck ... that is a reason to be so mad at me that we didn't talk yesterday ...


i told him tonight that i was tired of always having the responsibility ... that i don't get a choice when we have to go do something cause i am the one that drives ... and it is the truth ... and ya know what i love having his company but sometimes it is like pulling teeth to get him to go with me ...


you know i thought we would be able to have fun now that i am not working too ... i thought it was a great chance to hang out ... i mean shit when i worked on long island i worked such late hours all the time ... and all weekend too ... and then when our office moved to the city i have a 4 hour commute each day ... and was so tired by the time i got home ...


but now i think he hates having me home ...


i tried to make tonight a little more special ... while he was sleeping i ordered dinner from Outback ... a little treat for both of us ... and i knew he wasn't feeling well cause he was hungry ... but it didn't help ... we still fought tonight ...


maybe our place is too small and cramped for two people to be here all the time ...


or maybe he is like the other men that have been in my life ... eventually they just get tired of me ...

you know i thought we would be able to have fun now that i am not working too ... i thought it was a great chance to hang out ... i mean shit when i worked on long island i worked such late hours all the time ... and all weekend too ... and then when our office moved to the city i have a 4 hour commute each day ... and was so tired by the time i got home ...


but now i think he hates having me home ...


i tried to make tonight a little more special ... while he was sleeping i ordered dinner from Outback ... a little treat for both of us ... and i knew he wasn't feeling well cause he was hungry ... but it didn't help ... we still fought tonight ...


maybe our place is too small and cramped for two people to be here all the time ...


or maybe he is like the other men that have been in my life ... eventually they just get tired of me ...

Sneeky Bitch

well right on ... looks like everything has updated ... all my settings are changed ... and i can already see my sites on the new server ... cause i am a sneeky bitch ... i logged into my old hosts DNS and pointed all my domains to my new IP address ... so everything updated right away ... it sure is nice having power ...

Butthead

well david and i have spoken about 3 words to each other since he woke up ... its like he is mad at me for getting mad ... sometimes i can't win ...


i don't even know what to type right now ... i just feel like crying ... i made dinner tonight ... not even a thank you or that was good ... nothing ... all i wanted was a good coffee tonight ... it was pouring rain but we went anyway ... and mine fucking sucked ... it was the worst one i have had ... i had to dump the whole thing down the drain ...


i am just hurt right now ... sometimes i wonder why he is with me ...


why are guys such buttheads ... right now all of my friends are upset with the men they are with ... you know sometimes i just want to feel special ... and i can't remember the last time that happened ...


this is just making me too upset right now ... trying to type out how i feel ... i think i will just get in bed and cry till i fall asleep ...

Vampire People

right now david sucks ... it is 3:30 in the afternoon and he won't wake up ... we need to clean the house and i really want to get it done so i can just hang out ... so now i am either forced to do it myself or to just sit here and dread having to do it later ...


i know we were up late ... but we went to bed at 5 AM ... 10.5 hours of sleep aren't enough? are ya kidding me ... come on ... i know he only had like 5 the night before ... but a person doesn't need this much sleep ... and i don't want to become some weird vampire people that sleep all day and are up all night ... ack ... i am just going to fucking clean the house on my own ... fuck it ...

New Server

well my computer seems to be back to normal ... and i got my new dedicated server today ... woohoo ... i have spent half the night configuring it ... i sure did learn a lot at my last job ... really makes me want to start my own hosting buisness ... i am good at this ... i mean really good ... i kick ass on windows/nt platforms ... and david is awesome with all the unix platforms ... we could do some good work ... hummmm ... and my new hosting company just loves me that i could set everything up on the server myself ...

but i have to admit it is taking for-ev-er to upload all the sites ... right now i am waiting for my brothers enormous wedding site to upload so i can choose the next large site and have it upload while i get a bit of sleep ... i can't believe it is almost 5 AM and david nor i have gone to bed yet ... i am getting in that funky-work-at-home mode i used to be in when i lived in vegas ... i seem to have more energy to get serious work done in the middle of the night ...

you know mentally right now i am not tired ... but physically i just want to curl up in bed for a while ... man i love that i don't have to go to the city anymore for work ... i am so happy to be outta there ... woohoo

and i would have to say davie and i are pretty lucky ... we are spending an enormous amount of time cooped up in this tiny little basement ... and we still get along ... that is pretty cool ...

well my brothers site is at 94% now ... so i think i will start getting ready for some sleep ... :)

Bin Laden Is Dead

i had the weirdest dream last night ... and at the time i was sure it wasn't a dream ...

when i went to bed last night david was still up working on his computer ... he eventually came to bed

well i remember looking at him sitting there and i sware he told me 'bin laden is dead' ... i kept trying to get up so i could turn on the news and see what happened but i was just too tired [maybe those excedrin PMs finally kicked in] and i figured i would just hear the news in the morning ... but throughout the night i kept hearing 'bin laden is dead ... bin laden is dead' ... and i wanted to wake up so badly and watch the news ... the next time i looked next to me on the bed david wasn't there ...


when i got up this morning he was still working on his computer ... and i said ... 'so bin laden is dead huh?' ... he said what are you talking about ... he is ... and i said didn't you come in and tell me that during the night ... he said no i must have been dreaming ...


i was so surprised ... it was so damn real ... i am still amazed it was a dream ...

No Sleep

well i took 2 excedrin PMs an hour ago and i still can't fall asleep ... i wish i had my new server so i could at least be working on something ... i have a big art project to work on but i just don't have the motivation to do anything with it ... and i just got the application for the cowparade cow heather and i want to submit and i don't even feel like doing anything with that ... and it is due by the 30th of the month ...

Piece of Junk

i just tried to open aol to check my email from my mom ... and it too 2 minutes to open the program ... 2 fucking minutes ... how crazy is that ... i have already done a virus scan on the computer and it is clean ... i have almost 3GB of free space on the hard drive ... why is this happening ... what the fuck is wrong with this piece of junk ...

Slow Computer

this is fucking rediculous ... my computer is so damn slow ... i can only connect to half the web pages i try to go to ... my mail is sporatic ... if outgoing works i can't get incoming and vice versa ... i am in a pissy fucking mood ...

ohhh and i forgot when i was on the phone with eric today he told me that his mom passed away on July 13th ... it made me cry ...

It Is Me

well eric and erin bought a ring and are getting engaged ...

this means that all of my ex-boyfriends who told me they were never getting married really ment they would never marry me ... because he was the last to get married ...

i am really happy for him and erin cause after i was out of the relationship i realized he and i together were not the best combination ... i am too head strong to have someone telling me what to do ...

but it is depressing to me that i am just not someone that anyone would marry ... david doesn't quite get what i am upset about ... but it seems to really be bothering me ...

Cleaning Up

i think i may be starting to relax a little ... i still have a knot in my stomach about my customers that i can't help anymore ... i feel so bad ... but in the end i have to look out for myself ...


i got up this morning and cleaned and vaccumed our office area so it looks so much nicer in here ... took out all the trash ... showered and now i just need to get dressed to go meet Tracy for coffee ... i think when i come home i might work on some ebay auctions ... or at least get the photos ready and build a new template ... my mom is sending me pictures this weekend of the jackets at their house that i want to sell ...


ok my computer is acting all sorts of freaky right now ... so i am going to run a virus scan while i am out to coffee ...

Presents

i found a blogger i really like ... it is the second link on my list ... so tonight i read two months of archives ... it was pretty fun ...


so i am trying to deceide on a logo ... if anyone would like to let me know which one looks better ... please do ...

Logo Choices


well they turned my email over to someone else today ... so i am officially employed there no longer ... sooo weird ... i just don't know what to do with myself when i am not checking email and helping customers through out the night ... maybe that is why i have taken up so much reading of other blogs ...


i think it is time for dreams ... i set my alarm this morning so i wouldn't sleep till all hours of the afternoon so i am actually tired right now ... i will probably be back up in an hour or so not able to sleep ... but at least i tried ...


besides i am meeting my friend for coffee tomorrow at 3 ... i at least want it to be afternoon coffee and not my first one of the day ... i have the cutest Winnie the Pooh and Piglet PJs to give her tomorrow ... i love giving people presents ... always makes me feel so good to find something i know someone would love ... now if i could just figure out where to get david a pair of desert camoflague pants and find something groovy for Kris for her birthday last month that she won't go out and buy for herself before i can mail it ... hummmmmm ...


it is also time to start getting some of the crap out of this house through ebay auctions ... i have made a pretty penny in the past selling my crap on that site ... the saying is true ... 'one mans junk is another mans treasure' ... last time i was out of a job and living with my parents i made over $500 bucks in a week ... selling total crap ... and this time i have some good shit to get rid of ... like a Tommy Leather Jacket that i never wear ... maybe some of the cameras i own that i never use ... although that might be easier said then done ... i have some pretty groovy camera equipment ... we'll see ... ohhhh i do have a bunch of Dickies backpacks that i never even cut the tags off of ... well not backpacks but ya know the side strap briefcase looking kind ... that are made out of backpack material ... those ...


ok this rambling is a total sign that 14 hours at the computer is more than enough for one day ... shit i leave a computer job and still spend all my time sitting in front of one ... ok off to bed ... :)

Nutty Cry

i can't believe i just teared up ... at The Nutty Professor ... it is on tv tonight and it is the first time i have seen it all the way through ... and when he is sitting in the comedy club he just looks heartbroken ... and when he is saying goodbye at the door to his date ... his look of dejection is terrible ...oh man ...

A Scare

david and i had such a scare ... we thought kramer was dying ... he was laying on the floor with his eyes rolled back in his head ... and not responding to us ... kind of shaking ... david and i were frantically looking for the vet's phone number ... but as we found it he got up and was fine ... he was either totally asleep ... or he may have had a little seizer ...

The Best Guy

i set up my ICQ tonight ... i haven't used it in about 2 years ... but david has been digging his so i thought i would give it a try again ...


ya know david is really so very cute ... sometimes i just catch myself staring at him and thinking about how much i really dig him ... he is by far the best guy i ever dated ...

Cooling Off

so it is finally cooling off ... thank goodness ... last night we even whipped out the down comforter ... i still needed the fans on to sleep with a down comforter but it sure was a great feeling getting all snuggled up ... i am really hoping we are finished with the super-hot-sweat-even-while-sitting-still weather ... i sure have had enough of it ...

Cold

i think i am fighting a cold ... i was sneezing and blowing my nose all night ... and i am still all stuffed up ... i guess it is a good time to get sick since i don't have to go to work tomorrow ... :) ... but i thought once i didn't have to go to that fucking place anymore i would start feeling better ... although i am guessing it is the release of all my stress ...

Driving Miss Daisy

Ahhh this was a great way to start my Sunday ... 'Driving Miss Daisy' is on TV ... this is one of my all time favorite movies ever ... it is so uplifting and such a sweet story ... when Sean, Kris and I lived together we watched this movie all the time ... in fact i remember a sunday when sean and i put the tape in and watched it 3 times in a row ...

Taking Some Time

you know it is nice being unemployed ... even though i am not really unemployed yet ... i am still checking my work mail and helping people ... till they shut off my computer at work ...


i have gotten all my old journals put back together ... i used to run a webcam site and along with that was an online journal ... i moved around a lot between 1999 and 2001 ... but i kept it steady most months ...


now i am working on my photo albums ... there is a lot of work there ... but for like a year now i haven't ever felt like working on it ... but now that i have all this time i am really enjoying working on sites ...


and i found a new host for my server, so i am working on getting that all moved and set up ...


and our DSL came back on tonight ...


i was ready to find a job immediately ... but i think i am going to enjoy not having a job for at least a little while ... i kinda need it ... too many emotions going on right now ...

Hit Hard

and i am sure this is such a shock to the whole world ... but i think that those of us in new york are getting hit harder in some ways ... especially with fox showing photo after photo after photo with plea after plea after plea of people looking for information on lost loved ones ...

Taking Safety

earlier today david and i were going to get coffee and both of us remarked at how amazingly quiet the sky was ... we live next to a local airport that is quite busy ... and in the vacinity of 4 major airports so you can always hear the planes ... and for 3 days we hadn't heard a one ... then tonight when we were getting coffee which is right across from the airport the sound of the one solitary jet taking off was heart stopping ... it was loud ... you could feel the vibration ... it was fast ... unlike a regular plane taking off ... and it made me so pissed off that someone can take the calmness of safety away from me ... from millions ... the sound of that jet shook both david and i up ...

Quantum Leap

if something good came out of all this it is how close this terrible tragedy has brought people ... everyone was calling my mom yesterday to make sure i was alright ... i got IMs all day checking up on me ... from people i hadn't heard from in years ... it is so great to see that everyone cares ...


i still can't watch the TV ... i had it on this morning for about an hour but today is worse than yesterday ... on the local news FOX 5 NY has people calling in giving their home phone numbers for any information people may have on their loved ones ... it just breaks my hearts ...


so i have had the TV on the Sci-Fi channel ... they are playing one Quantum Leap after another ... unfortunately they aren't going in order ... so you see a teaser of one you want to watch and then when the next one starts it is a totally different one ... but it is an uplifting show and Sam Beckett helps someone each episode ... all in a time before we had knowledge of the cowardly acts that took place yesterday ...


maybe starbucks will be open today and davie and i can go out and get a coffee ...
if something good came out of all this it is how close this terrible tragedy has brought people ... everyone was calling my mom yesterday to make sure i was alright ... i got IMs all day checking up on me ... from people i hadn't heard from in years ... it is so great to see that everyone cares ...


i still can't watch the TV ... i had it on this morning for about an hour but today is worse than yesterday ... on the local news FOX 5 NY has people calling in giving their home phone numbers for any information people may have on their loved ones ... it just breaks my hearts ...

Distraction

well i needed to get my mind off the devastation ... so i redesigned my blogger ... and i am kinda digging the new layout ... i'll have to check it in the morning to see how i like it when i am not so tired ... but for right now i dig the new layout ... and it lets me add links ... so tonight i joined the clique 'i love my boobs' and i added a link to david's blogger ... i'll just have to figure out what else i want to add ... :)

Thank God

well i have to say a huge 'thank god' i got laid off ... i would have been at work when this terrible act of terrorism happened ... just 3.8 miles away ... that is too close for me ...


and thank god carlos overslept this moring ... tracy and carlos missed their regular train ... and this happened while they were on the next train so they got off at Jamacia and turned around to come home ...


and thank thank thank god jason is on his honeymoon ... he takes flight 77 often for work ... he said in the last couple of months he has taken it at least 10 times ... ohhhh thank god he wasn't on that flight ...


david and i are spending the day cleaning the house ... it has needed it ... everything in NY is closed ... and it is nice making our world a little nicer on such a terrible day ...


i feel so terrible for the people that lost their lives in this accident ... it just makes me cry that something so terrible could happen ...

Money Train

well that is it ... my job is over ... i have been laid off ... no more going into the city ... no more crying at my desk ... and eventually no more fighting about my boss with david ... that is what i am most looking forward to ... i am so tired of the two of us fighting about him ... i can't stand how much anger david has built up ... and there is nothing i can do to help him release it ...


but for right now ... i have to figure out what i am going to do with my life ... david and i both need to get jobs ... and soon ... i have one more paycheck coming to me and then the money train will have left the station ...

The Divorce

i was a terrible friend tonight and i am not quite sure how to make up for it

tracy had people over for her birthday and i didn't go ... i just couldn't ... david wasn't going to go with me cause there were going to be too many people there from work that he didn't want to see ... and i just couldn't spend the night talking about work ... i just couldn't ... the thought made me sick to my stomach ...


i woke up feeling terribly ill this morning ... i am grinding my teeth like a bastard and i am now waking up with migraines ... and my arm in total pain ... i saw tracy online first thing and we were chatting about work ... and i just started crying and getting sick to my stomach ... typing about it now is making me queazy ... she stated it well today ... 'it is like going through a divorce' ... that is just how i feel ... a terrible nasty divorce where i just want to get the hell out of there and i don't care about getting any of my shit ... i want a fresh new start ...


i want david and i to be happy ... and to have jobs we love ... i want to get away from this hell and have it behind the two of us ... we stand a pretty great chance if we can wade through the misery

The 14th

september 14, 2001 ... that is the day ... just knowing that i felt better ... for the next 8 days it is going to feel like the night before christmas when i just want to wake up and have it be christmas morning and see all the groovy stuff Santa has left me ... i don't know how i am going to last ...


and every moment that goes by ... and with every fucking work email i get ... i am happier and happier the end is near ... that place has made me so depressed and unhappy ...


i would like to take a little break ... do stuff around the house ... and start working out and get rid of some of this depression weight i have put on ... i need to start feeling better about myself ... it isn't fair to me or david to just slip into whatever is happening to me because of a fucked up shitty job ...


it is so sad ... it has taken away my love for working within the internet industry ...

Postal

man i don't know what i would do without david ... he is so fucking awesome ... listening to my bitching and moaning about how horrible my job is ... even though he quit this company 6 months ago and would probably rather never hear anything about them again ...


well they haven't fired me yet today which is a bummer ... every morning i wake up with a horrible headache from grinding my teeth so much ... and i pray today is the day they let me go ... but it is like they know i don't want to be here anymore so it is more fun to keep me here and watch me suffer ...


they are measuring our outbound calls now cause we are supposed to start calling people ... i have zero for yesterday since i wasn't here and today i have zero as well since kris is out of the office i have no one to call ... i have already told them i am not becomming a telemarketer ... to let me go ... cause i would have never taken this job if i knew i was going to have to harrass people for business ... and the leads they give me are rediculous ...


ACK FUCK THIS WHOLE FUCKING PLACE


i have become numb ... i have no feeling but hatred in me right now ... and for such a peaceful person it is bad having so much hate ... i just wanna cry all day ... i see why people go postal ... it is a horrible thing to do ... but i am beginning to understand ...
