Changes

My my how things change at the drop of a hat. Let me first say that I got the job at Omni. I had my final interview last Friday and they offered me the job... the $$ offer wasn't what I hoped (pay cut), but it was still enough to make my bills. I accepted the offer over the phone and all was great!!

That night I went to a club for Jess's b-day celebration. My girls were there from work and Jess insisted on me telling them then. Which I agreed - I wanted them to know before I told the cheeses. So - I spilled the beans. I had no idea that they would react as they did. A teared up and was shaking like a leaf. All she could say was "You can't leave. You can't leave me H. You can't leave." I felt pretty low. Then JJ showed up. As soon as the words flew from my mouth, I could see the color in her face change from a pretty shade of tan - to red! She was quite upset to say the least. She couldn't talk to me for the first hour she was there... she just kept mumbling something like "you've got to be kidding... no way.. is this a joke?" Are you seeing the pattern here??

I AM LOVED!!!!!!!!!! :) That is pretty evident now. My girls were completely shocked and couldn't accept the fact that I would leave them. Jess got pretty pissed. When she left 2 months ago, all she got was "Bye - good luck." So - her feelers were pretty hurt.

The entire night was spent with A and JJ attached to my hip - begging me to reconsider. Going over all the pros about work and how much of an asset I am to the company. etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc. But I stuck to my guns. I went home feeling terrible! The only way I can describe it is like the feeling of breaking up with your girlfriend/boyfriend. Like you made the wrong decision and can never take it back. It was horrible.

Sunday JJ text messaged me to come out for a drink. Since I'm at Mom and Dad's for the week house-sitting and she only lives a mile away - I agreed. After I got there, A showed up in her PJ's. It was quite cute! Lol This was an intervention.

With a beer in one hand and a cig in the other, I listened to them for 4 hours. I heard every reason why I sould stay and gave them every reason why I should leave. I have to admit - they were pretty brilliant in their planning. They told me that both cheeses had called them Saturday and Sunday completely shocked that I wanted to leave. My girls told them about the intervention plan and the cheeses were thrilled!! I promised them I would think about it and went home to type the most fabulous resignation letter ever!

Monday morning I got up early - copied Mom's routine of taking the dogs out and feeding the cat. I couldn't decide if I needed to throw up or if I needed to sit on the thrown. Either way - something was going to come up. My nerves were shot - but I knew I had to leave 'work'... I just hate confrontation. And the big cheese is VERY intimidating.

I got to work an hour early - head cheese was already there. YIKES! This part would take WAY too long to explain.. so I will just say that I am not leaving 'work'. Every issue I had with the company was resolved. Cheese wanted me to stay bad enough to pretty much grant me everything I asked for. How flippin cool is that!!!! Why didn't I do this a long time ago?? I'm just a chicken at heart I think. When I left his office and told the girls I was staying... you would have thought I had just won the lottery. They ran to me and gave me the biggest, tightest hugs. It was the most awesome thing I have ever experienced. I have never felt so loved at a job before now. At the end of the day, big cheese came into my office, smiled real big, and asked if I was coming back tomorrow :) haha - "Of course", I said.

Numb lip

I woke up this morning to a numb lower lip. This isn't the first time it's happened... actually it's happened 3 or 4 other times in the past few years. You know how they say everyone eats on average 2-3 spiders a year while sleeping. Well... the spiders that enter my mouth at night rebel on the way in and always seem to bit my lip. I even woke up one time with a dead spider inbetween my teeth. Grosses you out right?! Well... how do you think I feel! I think this one actually bit closer to my gums - they're numb too.
Why do you think that is? Is my gaping hole more attractive than J's at night? You don't see her with a dead spider in her teeth! I donno. Maybe I need to wear a mask at night and let the spiders get her instead. :)

New Additions

J and I are now the proud parents of 2 beautiful baby girls :) Daisy and Lilly. Don't get excited just yet - they're Chinese Dwarf Hampsters. lol. J was thinking about getting me a lizzard... YUCK! What was she thinking? lol. So - we went to 3 pet stores today... in search for a cute pink lizzard. I'm sad to say we found no such creature. Bummer. But, we did see some precious hampsters. J knows how much I love them and I have told her in the past that I wanted one. Since she has her baby Jaws, she said I needed a furry friend... or 2 it turned out :) As soon as I find my digital camera, I will take some pics and post them. :) I think I might become one of those freaky hampster people. Ya know - like those crazy cat people. lol. I want a whole tribe of little fuzzies. With connect-a-cage thingies so I can create a little village. Don't hate! You know you're jealous :)

Boredom

I'm bored. Quite bored. There is nothing on TV, no where to go, and no fun food in the house. What's a girl to do?
Last night was pretty fun I guess. We had an open house at my work with beer, wine, and nasty preppy food. Who would want to eat an olive wrapped in salami? Afterwards, we all took a drive in a HUGE Ford F650 limo. It was pretty cool... except for the fact that it smelled like the butt of a cow. We were checking our shoes all night! Nasty. Anyway - we went to dinner at a swanky highrise club for Tulsa's elite. The food was terrible - but the view was fabulous. I don't know why the cheese insists on taking us to that place. Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't like it... donno. Afterwards, we went bar-hopping around downtown. We went to the coolest little jazz bar, The Continental. I'm not one for jazz - but the atmosphere was well worth it. As soon as the other chickies started screaming for a dance floor, we left and went to a new club. Huge mistake.lol. It was just like a frat house... well what I would think one would be like. 100 beefy boys and 100 flaky half-naked girls. So sad! We were the oldest ones there... I never thought that day would come. We felt so out of place. We were only there 10 minutes before running out of there. Good lord when did I get old?

Holy geeze!

Ok so - today started off crappy! Completely crappy. My top customer totally deflated me infront of a zillion people. Even though she was in the wrong about the situation, I had to just stand there and take it like a little bitch! Not cool!

You Are the Middle Finger

A bit fragile and dependent on your friends, you're not nearly as hostile as you seem. You are balanced, easy to get along with, and quite serious. However, you can get angry and fed up with those around you. And you aren't afraid to show it! You get along well with: The Index Finger Stay away from: The Pinky

What Finger Are You?

Day one

Ok... Here I go. Since everyone else has jumped on the bandwagon with this blog thing (and I'm a follower at heart), it's my turn.
