The End of Sex and the City




I can't believe it is over ... the last episode left me happy ... sad ... euphoric ... lost ... touched ... complete ...


it makes me miss my friends ... and it feels as if another set of friends is leaving my life ... I cried tears of joy and sadness ... it is/was a fabulous show and a part of my Sunday nights will feel empty now ... I am so happy I was able to experience every episode for the last six years ... it was a very special experience that touched both my heart and mind ...


I will miss Carrie ... Miranda ... Charlotte and Samantha ... they are woman who dared to be themselves and a part of each one of them is in me ...

boycotting Jiffy Lube

I am now boycotting Jiffy Lube ... I used to love them but the assholes at the one by our house ruined it for the whole company ...


weekend before last David took his work van in ... and had $1300 worth of work done at the Sears Auto Center and the Jiffy Lube [by our house the two are connected and work together] ... anyway our cost at Jiffy Lube was $204.45 ... by mistake the guy rang up someone else's car on our card for a total of $244.77 as well as the $204.45 ... he said $244.77 was refunded but after a week the credit hadn't shown up on our account ... I called and they said we needed to come in on Monday ... David called on Monday because we weren't going to make it home in time to get there before they closed but the guy wouldn't do anything over the phone or by fax ... so last night David went into Jiffy Lube ...


The manager actually laughed in his face and said "No I am not giving you your money back, I told you to come in on Monday" ...


EXCUSE ME ... you charged my card for someone else's work you can't keep that money ... well David got really really pissed and walked out into the shop and yelled "Give me my fucking money back" ... and left ... when he got home he called and yelled into the phone "Give me my fucking money back" ... then he called Jiffy Lube's corporate office ... they put him on hold and called the store ... well the store called the police and said he threatened them and used racial slurs [David would NEVER do that] ... and Jiffy Lube corporate said there was nothing they could do ... David wasn't getting his money back if the shop didn't want to issue the credit ...


meanwhile I found the phone number for the person whose bill they charged us for and left him a message [since his name and everything was on it I knew who and where to look] ... I then called our bank who promptly issued a credit ...


I don't understand how Jiffy Lube can get away with this ... it is robbing us ... it is such bullshit it is crazy ... so today I am writing letters to the CEO's of both Sears and Jiffy Lube ... I just don't understand how this is legal ...

SAN FRANCISCO

HOT DAMN TO SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!!!!

Finally someone takes a step to let people who love each other get married ...

How can people even think this is wrong??? I don't get it!!!!!

Does it hurt them in some way??? --- NO

Does it make people happy???? --- OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope they win the battle ... I hope by the time I have children this won't even be an issue anymore ... I think anyone in love should be legally able to lawfully commit to each other ... it shouldn't matter if it is a man and a woman ... and man and a man or a woman and a woman ...


I'm keeping my fingers crossed that San Fran wins this pursuit of justice!!!!!!!!!!!

Work Problems

There are many reasons to refuse a job in a company where your father is the General Manager ... today I am experiencing one HARD CORE ... when your direct superior is being an imbecile you can't go off on him and tell him how wrong he is like you could at any other job ... and at this moment it is making me soooooooo mad I don't know what to do ...


I have NEVER had a problem speaking my mind at work ... I work hard and am quite diligent that I feel if something is wrong it is my place to say something ... but right now I am in no place to do it and it just makes me soooooo mad that I want to throw up ... I am sick to my stomach and just want to get the fuck out of here so badly ... I just don't know what I am going to do ...


and the fact that he is SO wrong ... and has taken the side of idiots and is punishing me and we are now not speaking that each minute that goes by I get more and more and more pissed off ...


I can't wait to fucking get out of here today ... I am so mad it didn't ice storm like promised because then I could have worked at home today and been happy :)

Motorcycle Show in Baltimore

I was so hoping there would be freezing rain and snow and it would be a shitty mess this morning ... I really wanted to work from home so badly ... unfortunately it is supposed to start in like an hour so I am going to head out so I could at least get stuck at work ... :)


my new schedule is killing me ... David and I are in bed before 9 PM most night ... sometimes earlier ... and my alarm goes off at 3:45 ... it is an ungodly hour to say the least ... by the time I get home I am wiped out ...


This past weekend David and I went to the Motorcycle Show in Baltimore ... it was pretty cool ... David got to see all the Orange Country Chopper bikes which he just loved ... we took some great pictures ... and actually got out of the house for the whole day ... pretty big accomplishment ... the cat thinks he is losing his mind ... usually one of us is home and now that we are both working all day and going out and doing stuff he has the run of the house so his need for attention is higher than ever when we get home ...


ok I am off ... gotta get to work before the shit starts coming down ... :)
