Complaints 101

Ok, so this is a "vent" or "rant" or "complaint" posting....

Federal Government... thanks for sending my check late..... thanks a million..

Ebay.. thanks for billing me automatically, with no notice, and saying I agreed to it... (I didn't)

Wal-Mart... Thanks for selling us a bike (assembled) with a bum tire, so that when we aired it up it exploded.... thanks for that...

Cable/Internet company... thanks for the spotty off and on service for internet. I didn't REALLY want to send that email, just go ahead and log us off, so that we have to redo all that work.. thanks.. oh, and thanks for not admitting to any network problems when we call to check on it.... Thanks!

Ok, enough complainin'
How's yall?
It's HOT here

We bought bicycles from Wal-Mart... 53.79 -- and, the first day I made it all of 3 blocks before having to do the "walk of shame" walking it back home...
The three blocks were mostly up hill, and that is my excuse.. oh, and yah, I am fat and out of shape, and inactive? LOL :)

Jim got a job. He will be doing front desk at a hotel here.. easy job. It might be overnights, so that might be tough, but I will survive.. I have the cat to sleep next to me :)

So far, summer is hot. Today is a day of thunderstorms, so maybe we can get back out on the bike tomorrow!

Oh, hole in the muffler, that is easy to fix. I hope that it is, so we can visit family this summer (with extra $$$ from Jim's job)

Ok, enough out of me for now, I have other people's blogs to visit :)

Family Reunion

Sunday June 4th 2006 10:11PM

Today was my Mom's side family reunion. Go, sit, eat, chat a bit, leave. Repeat yearly 1st Sunday in June. It seems to me that the family reunions are for the older people in the family. I wonder if I will feel differently about them when I am older? Time will tell I suppose.

I am not sure if I said so on this blog or not, but I had a small student loan from my one failed semester as a college student in 1996. Through moving, changing jobs, losing jobs, moving more, never having any money.... it has taken me until last month to pay it off. So, I am no longer a deadbeat in the eyes of the US Dept of Ed. -- that is a good feeling I guess! But, I am not sure if I am ready to take any classes just yet. I guess I would need to decide "what I want to be when I grow up" -- I haven't figured that out yet. I think that I might like medical transcription, or some kind of light medical involved field. Not sure. Not sure at all. I wish I could be a little more like Jimbo, and have a really good idea of what it is I want to add to the world community with my education. (His dream job is working in artificial intelligence, he is going to get a head's up on how that will work by getting to know how the human brain works in the field of psychology, in case you were wondering)

So, possibly in fall of 2007, we might be moving to Vermillion, so Jim can finish his bachelors and masters at USD. We have even found that they have small 1 bdrm dorms on campus for married students..cheap... :):):):) I hope that works out. Even more than that though, I really hope that Jim gets out of his education everything that he wants, and that he feels pride in the fact that he is very smart, and is doing a thing (succeeding in college classes) that many many many Americans, and people in general can not seem to do. That should provide a feeling of pride like nothing else. No one can take your education away from you. You have learned it, grown into it, and it is your tool forever to use. (can you tell I am a proud proud wife?)

PS... a job that pays $$$$ instead of $ from graduation on would be a GREAT BONUS :)

Ok, prolly time for me to go to bed!!!!
