6月1日 Something newHaven't had much time to blog...there is something new going on and I am absorbed in it right now....I hopefully will be able to write about it soon, but not just yet.....
going on Vacation for the weekend! Maybe I will find the time to rest!
RD 5月22日 Nonsense and other dribbleWell, its been a while since I have had anything to say....I am still not sure if I have anything relevant to say or not...
I need to write a letter to my twitchy eye that has been making me nuts for the last few weeks now. I googled twitchy eye and apparently its either from some strange brain malignancy or fatigue/stress. I am hoping it is just fatigue/stress and not a brain malfunction....not that my brain functions normally to begin with.
On to other news...Wal-Mart has not been too bad here recently...customers do ask a lot of plant questions which they assume since I work in Lawn and Garden that I have the knowledge to answer the question. A lot of times I have to get the big ginormous book of plants we have and look it up for them but as long as your helping them they don't seem to mind.
My lab job is going well...they have put me over at another building where they house mice that are being treated/tested for a possible cure for MS. If you have the stomach for it you can google EAE and click on the link that talks about Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis. If reading about animals in research upsets you or makes you angry then don't read it. The mice require total support and care which takes my whole day caring for them and they are cared for very well and made as comfortable as possible and NEVER allowed to suffer needlessly, they are given so many hours from the onset of the disease to turn around and get better, and if they don't they are humanely euthanized, and I get to work on my own, without a lot of people hovering. The most frustrating thing is the language barrier with some of the Investigators. Their english is rough, and it gets difficult to fully communicate what you want to them. I wind up using a lot of hand gestures and mimic gestures to get my point across....for example: If the mouse's eyes are irritated I point to my eye and and squint or blink and they seem to understand. But how do you explain to someone that their mouse has swollen testicles??

Warning label on a fishing lure. "Dardevle Fishing Lure: Harmful If Swallowed"
I will keep that in mind while I am fishing....
5月9日 Update from Wally hell!Well, I didn't observe the Cinco De Mayo boycott....if it makes anyone feel any better I did celebrate at a Japanese Steak house having sushi....sorry, but I don't care if these people are here...we shouldn't be mad at them for being here...be mad at our government for letting them in and making it easy for them to stay illegally....but anywho...on to more exciting things...
I don't want this to be a huge blog so I will do a brief update of Wally Hell....while it may or may not be a fun/good place to shop...it is a terrible place to work....the hours suck, the pay sucks, the employees royally suck...THEY ARE SOOOO MEAN!!!! Customer service is not one of the strong points there apparently...I myself do try to be nice and polite to the customers, but occasionally I find myself being myself...a smart ass...for example:
Customer: "Where can I find toilet paper?"
Me: "In the bathroom."
Customer: "Where can I find a door mat?"
Me: "Usually in front of a door."
Customer: "How much does this bag of charcol weigh?"
Me: "Well, the bag says 15 lbs so I am going to take a wild guess and say 15 lbs."
Co-Worker: (see's me watering plants) "What are you doing? Watering the plants?"
Me: "No, I am taking the hose for a walk."
I could really write a book about this place, but would probably get sued...
All the animals are fine, FT job is going well, I don't have to work near as hard as I do at WH.
I am off a few nights this week and will try to write more, its all jumbled in my head and dying to get out!

" Plenty of Corona with Lime makes for a really good time!!!!!" Ratdoc 4月22日 On my favorite political moron.....and other nonsenseI don't know why, but I can't help just being in awe at Donald Rumsfeld....I mean seriously....google quote by this man and you will be amazed at the ridiculous things he says....
When asked about the location of the WMD's he replies "We know where they are. They are iin the area around Tikrit and Baghdad, and east, west, north and south somewhat."
Well, that makes it a whole lot easier to understand now doesn't it....He makes me laugh, and wonder how in the world he got into the position he was in, and why hasn't he been removed from it yet?
So far nothing of great hilarity has happened at my Lab job. All in all its a very serious place.....but it s the gov't so what do you expect....but now Wally Hell is full of hilarity...let me elaborate...
I worked last night from 6-11 pm..when I first go there it was starting to rain...which we really need so it was good. My superior there ( a woman who has worked there for 6 years!) hands me what feels like a 20lb hammer and a box of nails and tells me to go outside and create a display for the trellises we have lying around in boxes...they had built a strange wooden scaffold for them to be hung from..."um..ok" I said. So I go out side, its just sprinkling so I don't really mind and start hammering these nails and hanging these really awkward metal trellises from it...it starts raining harder so I gather my stuff and proceed into the green house where I am met by store manager B. "Are you done already?" he asked. " no, but its raining really hard" I replied. He then walks away and comes back a few minutes later with a rain slicker and hands it to me. "there you go....we have to have these all hung up tonight." So in the now pouring down rain I am out there with this too small rain coat, water running off of it soaking my pants and no hood so my hair is soaked and water is pouring into my eyes as I nail away and hang 5 more boxes of trellises onto the scaffold. I hope it collapsed over night.
I go inside to dry off with the pile of papertowels B hands me and decide that I am going to the bathroom to sit under the air dryer in there until I am dry. "meet me in the stockroom when your finished" B states. So I dry off a bit and go see what kind of weird torture is next. B pushes a dolly, the jack kind you slide under pallets and pump up to pull the pallet of crap around on. Let me just remind you that I am a science nerd....I am used to working with very small surgical instruments and microscopes and stuff like that....totally inept when it comes to navigating a piece of equipment such as what he gave me.....so this was really interesting. B then tells me to help unload the truck of food that has just arrived. " I'm not to sure I know how to do this" I told him, but he just says "Sure, just pull the pallet out and take it to the fridge" I am supposed to be gardening people...not heaving and hoeing pallets of canned food around.....but, I do as I am told and proceed to crash an entire pallet of EGGS!!!!! into the nearby pallet of boxes containing god only knows what. B just shakes his head and finally asks me " have you ever used one of these???" refering to the pallet jack thingy..." UM..NO!" I replied.."can you show me before I get crushed by a pile of frozen Jimmy Dean sausage?" I asked. So needless to say I recieved a lesson in pallet jack driving last night. All the while a group of men that unload the truck sat back and laughed at me trying to steer this mechanical nightmare.
I work again today from 12-9, its raining again and I can only wonder what kind of weird crap I will have to do today!
Critters are all good, nothing to report there...currently all sitting in the window sill, except the dog of course, watching it rain and snoozing.

Label on a 12-inch high storage rack for CD's "DO NOT USE AS A LADDER" 4月17日 Hysterical Monday...Ok, well it is not really hysterical.....but its monday so I either have to laugh or I will cry!
Today...I ripped the front fender off of someones car in the parking garage at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea what the heck I was doing but I did a good job of it! My rear tire of my pride and joy truck caught this boobs front fender and RIIIIPPPPPPP.......sliced my very expensive tire wide open and scratched my paint.... It was totally my fault for not paying attention to the fact that he was parked so close to me that a piece of paper couldn't get in between us...Totally My fault. So I changed my tire, and waited to see who the poor sap was that now has a nice missing front fender and busted headlight...after an hour here he came...Of course he speaks very little english and was astounded at what had happened.. I swear if my tire hadn't been sliced I would have just kept on driving if I knew what was going to happen next. I had my insurance information ready for him and wanted to collect his, HE wanted me to just give him money. I thought for 30 seconds and said "NO" I mean, that's what I pay insurance for isn't it? Should I have just given him money....I think not! So he starts yelling in some foriegn language for about 10 minutes, the whole time I am kicking myself for not just driving away...finally I convinced him to give me his insurance information and we parted...I was fuming by then, I mean crap...I was nice about it...I apologized til I was blue in the face and he still was tripping out. Sheesh....it wasn't even that nice a car to begin with!
I immediatly called my insurance and filed the claim so its out of my hands and I can do nothing more but wait to see what my insurance rates sky rocket to now....It is my first accident EVER! So do I laugh about it? or cry? I really don't care about it...Its over and done with and there is nothing I can do to change it so life goes on. Secretly though I think my Jesus Peep blog might have pissed of someone of higher power and this was their little revenge... SORRY!!!!!!!!
FUN TIMES AREN'T THEY!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! LOL!
RD 4月15日 Flowers anyone??? Good grief....Wally hell was UNBELIVEABLE today!!! I have never seen so many people buying plants in all my life.... "does this grow in the sun?" "will this attract bees?" and the best one..... "If I just throw potting soil on the ground and seeds in it, will they grow, or do I have to dig up the ground?"
** Hint for all you people who buy your plants at Wally Hell....if its in a terra cotta colored pot...it grows well in the sun...If its in a grey colored pot its a shade plant...**
I must have loaded over 200 bags of mulch into peoples vehicles today...One lady put news papers in the trunk of her Lexus so the dirt wouldn't get in the trunk....People, if your going to buy dirt, bring a truck.....not a Lexus. I could go on and on....but it would never end..so I am stopping here.
I got an email the other day from MSN telling me that they were considering putting my space on "What's Your Story", in it they asked me to describe my site and what its theme is...well I am at a loss in how to exactly describe this mess :) Any suggestions???
I am so tired I haven't had time to think...I went to the Full tiime job this morning in my slippers! Good thing I have my work shoes there...would have looked a bit silly walking around in the lab with fuzzy feet slippers!
Anyway, its wicked late and I have to get some sleep before I go to work tomorrow....Thankfully Wally Hell is closed on Easter since we're not a Super Center!
Happy Easter!!
Oh...Funny I heard on the radio....You all know the easter "peeps", you know the sugar covered marshmellow things... (I ate so many one year when I was a kid....I got soooo sick....but they are cute!) and did you know if you put one in the microwave for 15-30 seconds it will grow GINORMOUS! anyway..I am rambling..the question on the radio was....."Would you eat a Jesus Peep?" Someone please tell me they are not coming out with "Jesus Peeps"......Maybe I was delirious from lack of sleep and imagined the whole thing....
RD 3月29日 Quick updateUgh...I have been busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest....no offense to any one legged person who may read this....
BONES: Was taken Sat. am to his new home, had a vet check, vaccinations and now lives in a 2 story fully carpeted ferret condo, plus run of the upstairs of my friends house...whew..I am so glad he is in a good place!
FT job: nothing of interest....
Wallyworld: Customer comes to me the other night and says:" I need string for my weed wacker", I say " what kind of weed eater do you have?" Customer says: "Green".......heaven help me.....
I haven't had time to read anyones blog lately but will try to get to them later this week.....

"We're trying to explain how things are going and they are going as they are going" Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, at a Pentagon briefing on Iraq.
This man is a moron.... 3月20日 Update on Dem BonesHappy to say that Bones (official name: Dem Bones) had a good night and is actually showing some personality today. Yesterday he was just cold, tired and hungry. Today he is slowly starting to exhibit ferret like behavior...rolling over so I can pat his tummy, grooming himself, and trying to get into stuff. Its amazing to me that after such a hardship something so small can just let go and relax and trust a person again. He's really dingy yellow and so so skinny but with some good food and socialization he will recover.
I would love to keep him but I am not sure how he's going to fit in here....the jeleousy is thick in this house right now..Cats turning their backs on me, and one really upset Shi-thead...who keeps doing tricks to get my attention...because he's being neglected at the moment. The dog could care less..give him a bone and your his best friend forever...who cares if mom is in the bathroom for hours on end.. Fortunately a friend I work with is really thinking about taking Bones and giving him a forever home.....if he decides he wants him I will let him go with the one stipulation that if it doesn't work out I will get him back immediatley. If that happens then I will figure out something to appease the masses already here.
Now..my finger...well that is another story....I should have gone to the ER last night to get a few stitches put in probably... but I didn't go...and now its too late to stitch....right now its swollen and nasty looking but I am keeping it clean and will just have to see how it goes...if it gets infected any worse I will go to a doctor but not until its black and ready to fall off...I can't stand doctors....It's tender and really really sore...typing without your middle finger is almost impossible.
Well, I am off to work for the next 4 hours so I will update the Bones story again when I have time.

No quote today...... :) 3月19日 BonesI was off today from at least one job so I caught up on a much needed nap and cooked a delicious rosemary and sage and garlic pork roast with saffron rice and a salad...or at least that is what I intended on doing....the roast is way over cooked and the rice and salad have not yet cooked themselves....the reason follows.......
First of all let me say that nothing in this world pisses me off more than irresponsible pet owners....generally I am an easy going, easy to get along with person 3 weeks out of a month...but show me or let me find someone that has abandoned or abused an animal and all holy hell will break loose....
It was nice here today, sunny with a slight breeze blowing....I made my rub for my roast and got it all popped in the oven and decided that the dog would benefit from a good walk through the woodsy park behind my apartment complex.....so off we went...
Well, about 10 minutes into the woodsy trail I saw something white hopping awkwardly around in some bushes...of course instantly the dog saw it and wanted to eat it...no matter what it was...upon closer investigation I realize I am looking at a ferret....a white ferret with blue eyes and black rings around his tail....of course ferrets aren't usually seen in the wild so instantly I think..."someone has lost him off his leash..." A few minutes pass and the ferret finally notices me and streaks like a madman directly at me...and attempts to climb up my pants leg....all this with the 100 pound dog trying to get at it.....so I reach down and pick it up to keep the dog from having a snack and this poor animal was nothing but skin and bones...a tiny stumbling skeleton, which promptly bit through my finger gashing it a good 2 inches wide open...needless to say I dropped him instantly and pulled the dog into a run back to the apartment where I grabbed my cat carrier and leaving the dog...(and my burning roast) behind to go back to the woods and save this poor thing...(bleeding profusley too...ugh...ruined my jeans...)
I got back to the spot I dropped him and he was no where to be seen...but after a good hour of hiking through the brush and weeds I spotted him stumbling around under some trees....I was and am so freaking pissed off that someone could just dump this animal out into the park and walk away...of course perhaps someone did lose him...but wouldn't there be signs posted??????? I mean come on....if ANY one of my animals was missing I would have a billboard out for their return....In my theory some parent bought this animal for their spoiled child who either didn't like it or got bit by it (ferrets can be nasty when hungry or aggravated) so they tossed it out like the trash....
I have no idea why I found him when I did or why I found him at all but currently BONES is sleeping wrapped in a towel in my cat carrier in my bathroom and I am going to try and salvage my roast......

"A ferret is God's way of telling you that NOTHING is childproof" 3月15日 Much ado about nothing.....Well, the title sounds good....actually I have nothing to say....I am now working 2 jobs and so damn tired I can't even find the time to read other peoples blogs....in addition to my full time job I am now working PT at Wally world...a place I loathe to go....but hey...I need to make some extra money to try and get out of debt and so my "sensitive stomach" cats can eat their $30.00 cat food....not to mention the $25 dog food.....they eat better than me....Ooddles of Noodles are suprizingly versitile though....
Anywho...I will write more about work (both places) once I get some sleep!
RD 3月8日 help pleasecan someone please tell me how or where to find out how to put songs I have on my computer onto my media player on here??? anyone???? help me................. I want to put this song on here and I don't know how!!!!!!
RD 3月4日 Saturday Morning PostWell, hello...haven't been around for a bit....I've taken the majority of the morning catching up on stories to see what everyone else has been up to. As for myself..I have had a wonderful sinus confarction that is driving me insane....why is it or I should say how is it that one side of your nose will be closed up so that all you get is the weird whistling noise when you try to breathe, and then suddenly that side opens wide up only for the other side to shut???? The whistling noise goes with the other side....you take a decongestant that then makes your head feel like a helium balloon floating just above your shoulders and your ears open and close with every breath you try to take.....insanity I say....and just forget trying to lay down and sleep....I hate mouth breathers and have been mouth breathing for 4 days now...I think my tounge is going to dry up and fall off...such a joy to try and eat while breathing through your mouth too...ugh..gross...I gave up eating 2 days ago....now I am slurping soup through a straw....its hell when the noodles get stuck...lol...
Ok, sorry, on to more interesting things...well maybe not so interesting...Work is good, I am finally getting to do the technical stuff that I know how to do. I have noticed that this place is soooo much more serious than my previous job...the researchers here are very protective of their information as if I may steal it and win the Nobel Prize instead of them...they hover over their notebooks, looking left and right, and behind them before they write anything in them...its rather amusing to watch them...of course you get to really see how technical everything is too..for instance...we had an animal that got a small infection from another animal bite, I am monitoring this animal and treating it with antibiotics and cleaning the wound, keeping track of what I do on the health record...I wrote " male has what appears to be a preputial abcess in genital region, which appears to be infecting the anal region as well, recommend draining abcess and administering analgesics SID, along with an antibiotic added to drinking water, per vet instruction." Well the Oh So Smart and Technical scientist comes along, reads my comments and marks the top of the chart with..." INFECTION ON ASS" Infection on ass??? ok, well great, I spend 10 minutes scanning my notes for the proper terms and he writes ASS....the funny part is that he found me later that day to ask me what SID meant.....these are the people that are saving the world from disease here.....brilliant minds!
Well, sorry about having to read about infected asses, the kitties and dog and ferret are doing well, all of them right now laying in the sunshine snoozing...I think my whistling nose kept them up last night....Shi-thead now sleeps in the bed on a regular basis instead of the cage, I tired of the ferret follies at night and this seems to have resloved the problem. They are working on their debut post about weird things I do, but I am proofreading along the way so that nothing too weird comes out and incriminates me in anyway....

"We are all a little weird, and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them in mutal weirdness and call it love." unknown 2月28日 I'm it....guilty pleasuresOk, I have been tagged by Mannyed to list 5 Guilty Pleasures..Now I just have to narrow it to 5...lol
1. I will eat an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's Phish Food all by myself in one sitting. I love the gooey chocolate and little chocolate fish, and I am greedy and refuse to share.
2. I don't like to shop but I love to buy new bras...I think I have over 25 bras...when I feel bummed out I go buy a new sexy bra and it makes me feel better...is that shallow??? LOL
3. I am obsessed with reading weird news stories when I should be doing something constructive. That's where I get all the strange random quotes I add to the end of my posts....oddly enough, not a lot of people comment on them....but there and obsession with me...
4. Pretending I am a sleep early in the AM when my gentleman friend stays over so that he gets up and takes the dog out......and I get to snooze!
5. Laying on the couch with ALL, and I mean ALL of the animals curled up either on me or around me and just watching them...ocassionally waking a one to watch them stretch and yawn.....
I could probably go on and on but was only asked for 5. Perhaps I will have the kitties and ferret and dog post some weird things I do...LOL....maybe not...

Bull Riding: "The only sport that gets you off in 8 seconds or less!" Unknown. 2月21日 Ferret FolliesApparently its time for the annual Ferret Follies! What do you mean you ask? Well, Shi-thead normally spends the day sleeping in his cage curled up in the hammock. I don't care to leave him out when I am not home, since I have no idea what goes on in the house. I am thinking about a nanny cam just to see who sleeps all day and who runs wild and why the hell the pillows on the couch are always on the floor when I get home. But I digress...all day long Shi-thead remains locked in his cage, not attempting to get out, (unless he has figured out how to lock the door back). When I get home, I let him out, take the dog out walking and come back. For the evening he is free to roam and play with the kitties and torment the dog from under the couch. At bedtime, back into the cage he goes, door latched I go to sleep....
A few nights ago, in a deep comfortable sleep, where I was dreaming of basking in the sun on a white sand beach somewhere, Corona by my side, gorgeous Cabana boys fanning me with palm leaves or something like that, I remember dreaming that one of them was rubbing my leg, putting on some nice sun tan lotion....in this dream though, the supposed to be cute Cabana boy had incredibly rough hands and it felt like it was scratching me...moving slightly to avoid the rough scratchy hands I feel this incredible pain in my right leg...bolting straight awake, I reached under the bed covers to rub my leg...it felt so real....my hand slides down my leg to be suddenly grabbed by something fuzzy....screaming I flung the covers back to find a wound up ferret under the covers digging wildly at my leg, trying to get under it....scared me to death! Well not literally, but being half asleep and being "attacked" by a furry weasel looking thing at 2 am would make anyone's heart leap into their throat...for the last few nights this has been some sort of ritual for him now....escaping the cage and climbing into the bed, under the covers and either attacking my legs or my feet, all playfully of course but rather un-nerving nonetheless....especially when I have to get up at 4 AM!!!
I have no clue why he's getting out, or why he only gets out at night....I have tried playing more with him at night before bed, extra treats in the cage at bedtime, new toys to play with....no luck... Lord forbid my gentleman friend stays over night...and finds this creature in the bed...he already has issues with the kitties in the bed at night hogging the covers!!!
Shi-thead seems happy though when I wake up and find him because as soon as I discover him, he jumps around for a few minutes and them plops down on my pillow and goes straight to sleep...but not until he's woke me and acted like a fool under the covers......crazy ferret.

RD 2月14日 Frogger and other nonsense..... How many people remember the video game Frogger? Where you are the little frog hopping across 5 lanes of traffic...I actually love that game and have been able to see re-inactments of it daily on the commute to and from work. One vehicle, without fail decides that they are going to get ahead in the throngs of traffic and make it to their destination precisely 2 seconds before anyone else. There they are in the far right lane, and ZOOM! Their in the middle lane, ZIP, their in the far left only to ZOOM back over to the far right lane, cutting in and out of traffic just like that frog...occassionally like the frog they get smacked....only they don't get another chance to try again...and clog up the entire interstate with their game playing.
The designers of roadways certainly did not account for the amount of growth area's are seeing....I mean who would logically think that 4 lanes of traffic can peacefully, and smoothly merge into 2 lanes in a half mile??? I get tickled at the people who drive this route day after day and seemingly instantly forget where and when the merge is to take place. They get caught trying to squeeze between 2 SUV's in their tiny Miata, with the pissed off look on their faces as if to say " Why won't you let me in???" Or better yet, the silly ones who race to the end of the merge lane only to slam on their brakes and sit, waiting for their chance to get into the masses of traffic trudging along. The looks on their faces is fun too, cause they are really mad, especially if you pass them and wave! I try to give a big smile and wave to them as I refuse to let them in....I know, its mean...but hey, if I was nice to everyone, I would NEVER get home!
On to other nonsense. Where I work we have 6 veterinarians who determine what treatments our animals get. This being my 3rd week on the job, I was given one of the busier rooms with lots of cases to treat, and lots of new cases. The vet for my room probably thinks I am a total moron. Monday, I was thinking I put the treatment sheets into the incorrect box and was going through his box to make sure that I had indeed placed them in the correct spot. Of course, as I am rummaging through his box, he winds up standing behind me watching me rifle through his cases. With an incredibly thick German accent I hear " You are taking my cases now? HUH?" Instantly I turned beat red and tried to explain what I was doing, all the while trying to neaten up the pile of cases I had strewn all over...he just shook his head and snatched the cases from me and walked away. Today, after his rounds I had a new case that needed to be looked at. Since it was after his rounds I paged him to tell him that there was one more to look at for today. Inadvertanly when I paged him I dialed an extra 3 in the area code (we have to add the area code, why I don't know....) anyway, he calls back and immediately lectures me on how he would never have called back had he not recognized the last 4 numbers because there were too many numbers in the page I sent. Again, with the thick accent he is asking me if I ever dialed a phone before....."I'm new" isn't working anymore since with my experience I should pick up quickly, which I have, minus the phone errors and getting caught with my hands in his cases....Embarrased enough, I shrugged it off and laughed telling him I was sorry and would get it right next time. Later today, one of the other new techs was telling me that the good doctor was asking him what was wrong with me...!!!!
UGH! Having been int he field for 10+ years, with everyone knowing my background, the doctor probably does think that I am a bit touched! :o Perhaps I am....but I will sharpen my phone dialing skills and not have this problem again!
