Story time.

Derek and I managed to get tickets to the 9-5-09 nin show. Which was going to be at the Wiltern theater in LA. I was stoked to have gotten tickets at all, but later realized how sad I was that we weren't going to the final show. I thought, Man, I wish we'd gotten tickets to the last show. But at least we...

I suppose it's time for an update. Not much has changed. still working constantly. still preparing to head to vegas in two weeks for the conference for work. Work, work, work. I keep dreaming of the day I can finally do something I love doing, but without a degree, it will never happen.

I've been reading, a ton. It's all fiction. Sci-fi, and fantasy stuff....

We just got home from the NIN/JA show in Santa Barbara. It was so awesome! I am so glad that they let me bring in my camera. I fucking LOVE this thing!

Pictures! There are some really great ones that I only needed to resize. There are other good ones that I need to fix up in PS. Here are the few I loved right...

Not fired.

Good.

Worked out coverage to go to the NIN/JA show.

Also Good.

Old stores new manager sucking it up.

Funny, but not surprising. And a little bit satisfying. I worked my butt off in that busy ass store. My boss would criticize my store, which is her job, and I took notes and always tried to make improvements. It got to the point...

Faye asked about work, so I figured it was time for a small update.

I'm on the brink of losing y job over something really stupid. It sucks. Especially since I've been busting my ass lately. But we'll see how it goes.

I moved to a brand new store. I helped set it up and now I'm running it. It's only been open since last...

Rather than update constantly with how much of a steaming pisspot my life is on a regular basis. I've decided that I will only update when big events take place.

Again, I still have a job. It's gotten better and worse. Better in that I'm getting along ok with my boss. And worse in that my assistant manager decided to be a complete waste of...

work.


yeah.


I hate it, mostly because I hate my boss. But, at least I still have a job.

i have worked like crazy this week, and last night the hubster and I went to see the Faint play in pomona.

admittedly, I havent been to a "show" in over 10 years. concerts I go to about once a year. But nothing like this tiny venue in a really long time. It started off great, I was standing right behind this tiny chick who...

i dont like posting two, or even three downer blogs in a row. So I will just say that things are pretty rough, in all areas of my life at the moment. Except for my marriage, which is actually pretty great.

Yay for an awesome spouse.

The service for my uncle was on Saturday. it was really, really nice. A lot of old friends came and had a lot of good stories to share. My brothers soon-to-be mother in law, made an image slideshow with music, to showcase my uncles life. There were a lot of great pictures in there, and it brought back so many great memories. I think it...

My uncle died on saturday.

He was only 36 years old. He was diagnosed with congestive heart disease 3 years ago. They said his heart was only beating at ten percent of what would be considered normal. They suggested he get on a waiting list for a heart transplant.

Over the next year he lost over 100 pounds on weight watchers, and took my mom...
