My Day Off...Yeah Right

Thanks, Missy, for you help.  LOL...I thought I had uploaded my pictures to FTP but it looks like something went wrong.  I keep getting blanks....I will not give up.  I'm one stubborn old bat so the visuals will be crude archaeic for a while longer.

My day has been full of frustrations:

1.  I somehow clicked myself out of this entry and have to start all over again.  Insult to injury; salt to the wound......

2.  I signed onto AOL this morning and there were problems with mail access....uh...like no mail in my mailbox.  AOL...how can you do this to me...sheesh.  You have to know that I live for opening up AOL and reading all my "important" mail.   I signed off and back on.  I did get my mail but can't send or receive....AOL shape up!!!

3.  My cell phone died....who can live without their cell phone?  It ended up being a quick fix....my boyfriend took out the antenna and screwed it back in....BINGO....now why didn't I think of this?  Because technology blows my mind...LOL...I can use my microwave extremely well.  Does that count?  I inherited this cute little flip phone I have from "the brat."  She got a new one.  I love her old one.  Never cracks or loses calls....My only problem is Verizon was supposed to empty it when I took it over.  Yeah Right....I'm so glad to know that Adam loves me....that's her scrolling marquee across the top....plus I have 352 "friends" still programmed in it.  She refused to help me get rid of it....threw the book at me and told me to do it myself....the little brat.  Well, I fix her wagon occasionally....I sometimes call one of my new "friends", which are her friends, just to irritate her.....Ya see...mom can retaliate where it "hurts" the most........no, don't mess with this Momma........

3.  I was supposed to take off half a day on Friday to spend with my oldest daughter, the Mouth....and I use these nicknames lovingly....far nicer than their nicknames for me......It seems we have a meeting that was just scheduled with our new division chief and assistant at work that is mandatory and no time has been set for this meeting.  I never get to see my oldest daughter.  She lives in Pgh, an hour away and works.  She is busy on weekends; so am I.  I'm still working on this frustration.  The only glitch in this plan is that I can work OT on Saturday (need that time and a half desperately).  We can't work OT if we use any time off during the week.  I'm spinning round and round with this one................

3.  My biggest frustration is that I still can't figure out files, pictures, hyperlinks, FTP, file manager.  I would buy the computer book for Dummies but I think I would still be confused....pretty sad....too much of a dummie for a book for dummies....that's what my kids are for....

4.  My freakin dog took a dump on my livingroom floor when I went out last night.  I have a hardwood floor in the livingroom so it can be cleaned up but the dog drives me whacko.  He's a big lab mix.  The vet says they are prone to separation anxiety...oh pulease...so he goes through spurts where he retaliates against me leaving him and does his business on the livingroom floor.  I suppose I'm lucky he didn't choose somewhere else, like the familyroom with carpeting.  He used to stay in a titanic sized crate in our old house when we were gone.  He loved it.  He would go in it by himself.  As soon as we moved to this house, he wanted no part of the crate and actually busted it to pieces when he was put in it...so when I walk in the door and Grizzly puts his tail between his legs and does a commando crawl across the room, I know he's left me a present...........

5.  Well, I have to clean my house and have absolutely nothing clean to wear so laundry is a big issue.......plus it's in between seasons in Pa.....cold in the mornings but very warm in the afternoon.  I can't figure out what to wear....plus the fact that for some reason my belly is bloated this week....haven't gained any weight......I want Liposcution....if I play the Powerball today and win.....Liposuction it will be......two days ago my pants fit...now I have to suck it in to zipper them and hope I don't blow the zipper out during the day.............

I think I'm stopping.  I'm sure I could go on and probably will have more as the days goes by but I'm getting even more frustrated thinking and writing about this stuff.

sorry It took me some time to figure out as well. you'll get it.  I find the file mg thing easiest so far. then you can just copy and paste the url.  

have a great day anyway

You should be glad your dog only dumps on your floor, before our dog was trained she left a hersheys kiss and a tootsie roll on my pillow. She must reeeeeaaally love me.
