Reality trip?

| | Comments (1)

Well, after Jet posted about our possible reality show adventures...I get This Test sent to me...so of course, I had to see which reality show I was best suited for

Fear Factor

"What a wuss, I could totally do that." Of course you could, that's why your reality show is Fear Factor.

You're the fearless type — always the one jumping off the highest rock, riding the biggest wave, taking the biggest dare. You are fiercely competitive, most likely to turn a nice dinner into an eating contest. Sure it scares your friends when you play chicken on a two-lane highway, but it's good training for your reality show debut.

Heights, depths, leeches, and goat udder — nothing shakes you. Especially when the prize is fifty-grand. There's something thrilling about proving yourself to others because deep down you are only proving it to yourself. You can't stand to live with fear, that's why you plan to blow away the competition. Failure is not an option.

now I have to say, I wont even WATCH this show cause it grosses me out so much!!! so I had to retake it...this one is MUCH more me *s*

Survivor

If you're going to put yourself on display for the world to see, you might as well get paid! That's right, your show is Survivor, the Super Bowl of reality shows. Okay, so technically, you'll only be pocketing $650,000 after taxes, but that's pretty good coin for a little camping trip.

It's clear, you love the outdoors and are prepared for all the inherent challenges that come with picking your breakfast off a shrub and your dinner out of the bug netting. But your mental toughness is what really qualifies you for Survivor. You know all about the satisfaction that comes with enduring physical challenges, but it's the psychological edge that's going to keep your torch lit. You know how to read others, press buttons, and build alliances. The tribe has spoken: Send your audition tape Survivor's way.

Sleep...that elusive dream...

Well...it's been an interesting couple days.
Yesterday, (note: my day off) I wake up around 1:30pm. Run a few errands, make a few calls, and decide that evening to go swimming.
So I'm up at work in the pool, about to leave, and walk back through the lobby, where one of my co-workers is on the phone.
I hear, "well, she's here, so I'll let her know"
the "she" come to find out, being me.
It seems the girl who worked on my nights off, decided 3 1/2 hours before her shift was to begin, that she could no longer do it, called in and quit.
oh joy! not to mention overtime...
so since I'm already there, I call the boss, ask if she's heard from said little slacker
not a word.
so we discuss what we're going to do about it (so I can still make my trip next week) and hang up.
I try to sleep before I have to go in, nothing doing...oh, and did I mention I had a 6 hour training class today? (9:30am-3:30pm)
and naturally, I'm so wired up on coffee and adrenaline by the time I get off, I couldn't sleep if I tried (and believe me, I DID try!)

There was a time I could stay up for 26 hours, working, partying, etc...never bothered me a bit...
I must say, there's allot I learned today, first and foremost being
I'm WAY to f**king old for this shit!!

another test

Well, I got my computer back up and running, (after much stress, hair pulling, ranting, raving, etc...)
Mucho thanks to you, you, you, you, and most especially you! for listening to my bitching and moaning, and letting me bounce ideas off of you for whatever the problem could be, and helping me to find the solutions.
Turns out, not only did I end up replacing the motherboard, et all...I also had a bad chip :sad
So what happens today, when I've got all this set up, working, and BOTH hard drives where I can see them?
The power supply goes poof!
I had shut down after checking mail this morning, everything was fine...go to turn it on this evening and nothing.
deader than a doornail.
I check connections, double and triple check them.
Nada
zip
zilch
oh, did I mention this is BRAND NEW?!? It came with the case...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
so how am I here you might ask?
well, I now have 2 cases without all their parts...
both of which, have good power supplies *G*
and yes, I'd hate to be those people in the computer store where I bought this thing at tomorrow to *evil laugh*

I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
~ Isaac Asimov

hence the reason I spent wayyyy to much money today, and will be spending my 'awake' time this weekend (after I pick the stuff up friday) putting one together :Woot
new case, motherboard, graphic card, and modem *happy sighs*
with room for 2 hard drives, 2-3 cd-rom bays, and 2 floppy bays...yes, I do belive I'm going to just combine the 2 I have into one kick a** machine :red
plus, more room for ram than I have in either of these...more expansion card slots than I know what to do with (but give me a couple days! :lol) and I'm having to sit back from the keyboard so I don't drool all over it! :banana

So in the midst of all this :fdup I get to do something I've been wanting to do for a long time anyway... :thumb

Just not my weekend

| | Comments (3)

Well, just when I was wondering what else could go wrong, something came along to answer me.
First off, the dickhead from the morning before didn't leave like he was told, and I was thisclose to knocking him out and having him carried off the property.

Then my computer went 'kaput'
dead
toast
nadda, nothing...zero, zip, zilch
I think its either the video card, or the motherboard...
fortunatly, I have 2 computers
unfortunatly, this one I'm on will only boot with the 98se hard drive hooked up (I hate 98...I want my win2k dammit!!)
plus, everything I use is on there...this computer hasn't been online in over 2 years!! (lot of updates!) and I uninstalled OE (thinking I wouldn't need it) so now I can't even get my mail till that finishes downloading! *major pout*
so how was YOUR weekend??

I don't have to deal with this shit

| | Comments (5)

I've worked nights for almost 2 years now, (this time) and for the most part, even though people are tired, cranky, and sometimes hard to get along with...very few have ever been downright rude!

Well, that changed this morning.

I had a guest, that came into an 'employee only' area, and proceeded to try to set out breakfast, when I informed him that breakfast didn't start until 7:00am on weekends, he told me:
I was wrong,
The 'manager' had told him he could have breakfast before he left (excuse me, the little blond that works morning is no more a manager than I am!)
and that I could go to hell.
then pushed at me (at which I was so surprised I almost fell into the cart)

In all my years of dealing with dick-heads, that was a first. I've never felt physically threatened while at work, nor have I ever had such an overwhelming desire to choke the shit out of some asshole that deserved it soooo much.(and the thing that really sux is I wasn't able to do so!!)

So I called my boss, who of course backed me up, got him on the phone, and told him he needed to go down the road, she didn't have her clerks up there to be treated that way. (for the record, I never call my boss on my shift, unless something is REALLY wrong, and she knows this)
Then the fucker lied and said he didn't cuss me (to my boss), so I repeated exactly what he had said, (telling me to go to hell) and he said "well, go then!"

It took me a good 30 minutes, and talking to 4 different people (Bluewolf, and 3 co-workers) before I was calm enough to document everything that happened...(we have to document in case the asshole calls our home office)

So I'm not feeling frustrated enough by all this...I am contacted today by someone who's blog I did...
I love tech support, I love helping people with their blogs, templates, and sites...and each site I help with or do, I do tend to feel a little 'protective' toward.
I couldn't help this time, the host had changed and I no longer had access to anything :sad
nothing I can do about it, right? Not my problem, not my site, nothing to do with me...
then why do I feel like one of my children just ran away?....
