Mobile Blogging

Isn't the iPhone supposed to make everything easier? I hear daily, "there's an app for everything!" But, for some reason I can't get a picture to post to my blog on this damn iPhone. I can send all the text that I want, but when it comes to sending pics, this phone sucks!!! I can't even send a pic in a text like every other mobile phone out there. I'm beginning to think Apple needs to take a look at their users priorities! I appreciate the things this phone does, but do I really need to have voice memo? I've never recorded myself on my phone so I could listen to it later... what a joke!! I am texting this blog from my mobile, but if you see the previous blog with no picture, you now know why. Don't worry, it was nothing special, just a quick shot of my desk at work - where I should be working, not blogging! So, I'm going now....

Flor-i-da!!

Just got back from Florida! I had the best week on the beach with my mom, nephew, and the love of my life!! Pretty darn close to perfection!! Anyways, spent most of our time laid up on the white beaches or in the beautiful water, but managed to make it out on the town a couple nights. A quick note to all - never eat Florida bbq if you are from TX. Major disappointment!!! Going to post a couple pics ....

Sometimes it sucks to be the bigger person

Really! Sometimes it really sucks trying to be the bigger person and then you get shot down. I guess it all depends on the person you are trying to overcome and how mature they can really be too. I have tried for years with this one particular girl that i thought i called a "friend". It just seems like no matter what, she cannot seem to move past the phase of "I told you so's" and "i'm right and your wrong." And the sad thing is, I feel sorry for this girl. I don't know why. I can't explain it. I have prayed about it and asked God to lead me in the right direction with my dealings with her, and "WHAM!" I get knocked in the head with her response of "I'm right and you're wrong". Ironically, followed by the statement that everything is "all good" now and she sure would like to hang out with me and my friends at a pool party this week. WTH????

Any advice on a response to that one???

I apologize to an extent...

Have you ever been told by some one that they 'apologize to an extent"? What exactly is this? Are we putting stipulations on the apology? If that's the case, I'd like to put some stipulations on my acceptance.

I only accept if you say it sincerely.
I only accept if you use the exact words I want to hear.
I only accept if you know everything you did that hurt me... even the most minimal detail.

Come on. If you are willing to apologize, don't be so proud to add that "to an extent" so that you don't look quite as guilty for hurting someone else. I mean, it may make you feel better, but what about the person that you actually hurt? If you are truly sorry for hurting that person, why make them continue to feel guilty "to an extent"? So you don't feel as bad? That's my guess.

To Strike or Not to Strike?!?!

If only I had a choice in the matter. I mean, why don't they take a very normal employee like me, and sit me down in the middle of the bargaining table and let me mediate? I am neither pro union nor pro company. I'm sure I could come to a fair decision for all. Raises around the table, a minimum cost for healthcare, and by all means we will keep the day after Thanksgiving as a holiday!!! Why on earth is that even up for bargaining???

Anyways, they have until midnight tomorrow to get this thing negotiated or you might see me on the local news walking the picket line. Upon my dad's request, I will be wearing a red cap so he can pick me out. I am so not looking forward to that. On a positive note, I may have more time to blog about my 'oh, so interesting' life.

I'll keep you posted. Right now, I have to go get my stuff out of the refigerator in the break room before it gets thrown away. You know, AT&T managers just might need to eat my food!

HILARIOUS

ok, everyone needs to see how some union members spend their time during contract negotiations....

HILARIOUS!!!!

BTW, I am actually doing my part and wearing a union t-shirt today... I feel somewhat ashamed.

I know I never get on here and blog, but I thought I'd share this with all of you. I received this as an e-mail from facebook.

Hi, Barack Obama (Washington, DC) has confirmed you as his fourth cousin once removed on We're Related


LOL!!! Now, how do they figure that? I'd like to see the family tree! And, to the rest of my family I want you to know that if I'm related, then you are too!

Did anyone else get this? Is this a ploy to make you think you have to like the guy???
