Insanity rules my head

2010-01-27T22:17:00.001-05:00

Tuesday was a really bad day for me. I kind of lost it at work... I am upset with a co worker and I am allowing it to get to me. Normally I have learned to let stupid people not bother me but due to some other reasons I have this time. Then to top it off, I made a good friend of mine cry because I said something that I did not think would bother them... But it did.
I ended up going home to take some medication and try to get my head on straight. I am better today. I took a real "mental health day" today and was able to calm down. I know it will take me a week or so to feel better about all this but at least I got a lot off my chest thus week. I dread Thursday since I might have to confront this person about all this... I used to call this person friend but now see that they have done nothing but try to undermine our team to get ahead. I don't have time any more for people like this. I am too old to deal with this high school crap. I just want to go and do my job in a professional manner with professtional people... But there is always someone who has to cause trouble.

So for this week, insanity rules my head.

Mothers day and catching up

2009-05-10T10:43:00.003-04:00

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there! My mom is no longer with me but I know she is out there keeping an eye on me!

Its been a while since posting. I have been busy with the new IKEA Tampa opening and was away for over 3 weeks. Plus, these days I really do all my writing on Twitter and facebook. I have gotten tired of blogging and actually find this to be a slow way to keep in contact with everyone. I have to say that facebook has connected me to people I have not talked to in years! I find it facinating that we have all connected this way.

I have been in a stranger mood than normal these past few weeks. Not sure if it is the full moon... my emotions are all over the place. Maybe I am just getting crankier with old age!

Anyway... thats all for now... follow me on facebook and twitter... my name there is the same as here... ctocity.

later... C

Twitter... are they really following me?

A few weeks ago, my hubby needed to get a new phone. His old Razor was falling apart and every time I would try to talk to him all I could hear was static or a choppy signal. It was time to replace things. Since it is tax time and we did get a bit of money back from Washington, he decided to upgrade to an iPhone. He has been wanting one since they came out (so have I) and since the account is in my name, we both needed to go down to the AT&T store to upgrade the account. For the first week, hubby did not come up for air... no matter where we were, he was playing with the phone. That is fine with me... He has been so patient waiting to get one and like me, we love gadgets... and this is the ultimate gadget for nerds like us.

A few weeks later when my tax check arrived, I decided to also upgrade my phone to the iPhone. I can say that I truly love the phone and that I have all my gadgets wrapped up in one... phone, iPod, computer... in one easy device. Yes... there are down sides of the device like never knowing when you will find a 3G signal... the OS does not do Flash on web sites... No MMS service (soon to be fixed this summer!) but all in all, an amazing device. I am also part of the facebook world and enjoy keeping up with the lives of my friends both old and new. I truly feel facebook has connected me to people I have lost over the years... this including my family members.

Now we have something called Twitter. I have had an account for a while now but never really used it. Then I installed it on my phone. Now I follow about 20 people/things and have about 20 people following me. Strange... I find it weird that people want to know what I am doing all the time... and even weirder... that I am actually typing in what i am doing during the day to let them know all this! Are we all becoming mini 'superstars'? Our own little fan clubs? I now get so much information pushed at me all day long. Almost too much... One day, a friend I follow who has a pod cast sent out over 60 tweets that day. My phone was almost dead by 3 p.m. in the afternoon. I am not sure I want to be that connected to the world. Are we all becoming superficial?

I will have to play with Twitter a bit more to see if I like it. Maybe its just a fad... but I did add it to my blog below... just in case you need to know what I am doing each moment of the day.

Happy Birthday to me!

Once a year I get to celebrate my birth. I never really know what will happen on this day. I sort of want everything to be great and perfect. I want to be noticed but don't want to be embarrassed. I sometimes think it comes down to a mind set of some sort. If I think I will have a great day I will have a great day type of thing. Some years have been great... others have not. Many of the 'big' birthdays did not bother me and yet... weird ones did. Like I was upset with 29... not 30.

I still can not believe that I am around. I still can not believe that I am doing so well. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Or my face to drop... although my facebook pic that I currently have posted makes me look my age. I will need to change that...

So if I am good and god lets me continue, my goal is to live until at least 80. After that, it is up for grabs. I hope Joe will still be with me and will put up with an even more cranky man than he has now. I know we will be laughing it up for the next 30 years or so... thanks Joe for always being there for me. Love you....

Off to work... and another fun filled day....

Mobil Blogging

I am going to try one more time to blog. In the past, I have found that nobody really read my blogs. I did it for myself. Maybe I just need to continue to do it for myself like a diary. Who knows. I also made friends via my blog and was hurt by many of the people I made friends with. Maybe I should not make any more friends via my blog. We shall see...

The main reason I have restarted my blog is because I now have a phone that allows me to blog from the street. Before, my phone was basic and I hated to type on it... now it is super easy... plus I can take some fun photos and post them as they happen.

I have no idea if anyone will actually read this but hopefully someone is interested in my life. I know I am not young... not pretty... not interesting... but I am real and a person with feelings. I have opinions. I need a place to write. Hopefully this will be the spot for it.

Life goes on...
