Ads

Well, those ads are gone now. I received an email from Google saying that displaying ads on my blog was financially damaging to their advertisers. LOL! Because my blog is so hardcore or something. What I want to know is, will they at least pay me the $40 or so that I earned with them? Probably not. What a waste of time.

Now I have to figure out another way to make a few extra bucks without actually doing any extra work. I haven't heard back from TWU about my financial aid. I probably won't get that either. I'm way too honest and a question on the application was "How much do you have in all your accounts right now?" I said what I literally had right then. Too bad I was about to pull out several thousand to pay my tuition the next week. So, what I had right then is no longer what I have right now.

I think I have decided that I do not like to battle a budget. This sucks! It seems to be all that I think about lately and it's really stressing me out. Of course work is stressing me out right now as well, but we won't get into that here. Basically, for those that know, it's the same thing, different day. Yet again. Things never change and people never learn and I am stuck in the middle. Let's just say, I'm coming at you from the front desk today.

Let's go ahead and change that subject before I have a classic Amie foot in the mouth disease moment, shall we? This weekend was super busy! I took the afternoon off on Friday to do some school work, but since my car had been yelling at me for 2 weeks to get my oil changed, I had to go do that first. Then I had school on Saturday and a group presentation. Here's my question...how can you be so irresponsible in your late 30s/early 40s that you can severly let your group down? There was this guy in our group who did not have his part done by Saturday. Then, as he was scrambling to finish it, he did it completely wrong...actually, he just wrote down our skit...something that we were presenting and not at all what he was supposed to do. We scrambled on our lunch break to write it for him, all the while he was just blaming his kids! This guy will never be able to be a manager and if he is one already, then I feel sorry for his subordinates. So FRUSTRATING! He lied to us, he lied to the teacher and he blamed his kids. Can we say "loser?"

I never sleep well the night before a presentation, so I ended up falling asleep by 8:30 Saturday night. Sad, I know. Sunday, I drove to Sherman to help my cousin move her couch and bed to her brand new temporary apartment! Well, Jonathan was the one that really helped, I just supervised. On Friday, she learned that the apartment she was supposed to be moving into still needed to have the fire marshall inspect it (they are still building the complex) and so she has to move to a temporary (although bigger!) apartment first. Which totally sucks and she's handling it like a champ. I say, she needs to stay in the temporary apartment as long as possible since they are paying all her bills while she is there. :) But it's me and I'll take anything that's free...even if it means living out of boxes for a while.

After we got back on Sunday, I went over to my mom's for a while to pick up some pants she hemmed and somehow ended up taking her treadmill home. Which is completely awesome! After I get back from New York (leaving this week!), I am going to start going to the gym again on my lunch breaks and lift weights and then when I get home, I can just walk on the treadmill while being at home and watching what I want to watch. I won't have to deal with not wanting to go back out to the gym, the nasty, sweaty, smelly guys that are always there in the evening, fighting for a machine that is probably broken, etc. Hopefully, having a treadmill in my living room will get my butt back in gear to actually work out just a tad more. We'll see about that one!
