spam
No, I'm not talking about the tasty breakfast treat that you've been eating for as long as you can remember. I'm talking about those "nasty" emails you get from people you don't know trying to sell you something or recruit you into doing something.
I send out recruiting emails to people who's resumes I see online. Technically speaking, I'm not "spamming" them because I didn't buy their email addresses from another company's database. I'm an actual person looking at their resume and thinking that they would be a good fit for what I'm recruiting for.
Unfortunately, some don't see it that way. Here's an example of a reply email that I received from a potential candidate:
"Jesus Christ, you guys just keep spamming.
It's a good thing I don't have insurance with xxxxxxx, because I'd
hate to have to spend time switching insurers.
I will add xxxxxxx Insurance to my email filters, and I will call my
friend who is a xxxxxxx agent to ask him why his company is actively
antagonizing thousands of consumers by spamming them."
He then proceeds to email me another message:
"Oh, and look: you scumbags even use an INVALID CONTACT PHONE NUMBER.
FUCK OFF
It probably took him about 10 minutes to eloquently express himself, the time that it would have taken him to follow-up on the job emails that really mattered.
Some people are so quick to pass judgement on how we conduct business around here. What a fucking moron.

search engines
I know everyone has done a search on their own name, names of friends, etc.
This is what I found. Scary! I'm glad it's just a fictional journal though (read the profile).
More babies coming! YES! I guess me and Byron should catch up!

money to burn
Sometimes I wish that I had money to burn. I know many people how are always fitted in expensive clothing, different outfits everyday, make-up like you wouldn't believe, nice cars, always down for some fine dining, electronic toys, etc. But then again a lot of these people still live a home with their parents. And the funny thing about these people is that they actually complain about living at home. Save some money and stop buying crap for yourself!
Even though I can't really afford the fancy things in life (the only bling I got is on my left finger), at least I'm not living with my parents. I don't mean to offend anyone with my sweeping generalization (based on personal experience with such aformentioned folks), I'm sure that there are plenty of people that live with the 'rents, but are trying their damndest to be on their own. What I'm saying is that there are folks out there who don't, nor will they in the near future.
Just my 2 cents...

spoilers
I think that I am one of the few people that haven't seen the last installment of Star Wars. What doesn't help is that my husby-to-be isn't a really avid movie-goer, but these days I'm not really down to spend $10 to watch a movie. I'll wait for it to come out on DVD. My wonderful mother however, decidedly spoiled the movie for me, but it's just one of those things where I already saw the other 5 might as well finish off the series.
I did get to see Wedding Crashers this weekend which was promised by someone to be a "knee-slapping good time." It lived up to that , although I would add shake-back-and-forth-in-your-chair, violently-slap-and-shake-the-person-who-went-with-you-to-see-it, I'll-more-than-likely-buy-the-DVD comedy o' the year. It was definitely $5.25 well spent and I got to spend some QT with my better half. The funniest part was when _______ was ______ while they were ________. Hilare.
I give the movie 4 out of 5 bridezillas.

long hair
This past week's heat has made me want one thing: short hair
While I realize that there are many benefits for long hair, I'm still wanting it short again. While taking a break, it felt like something was crawling on my arm. I looked to see that it was my hair. WTF?
At least it's not long enough to have hair murphs out of the shower.
*Sigh* I need some A/C right now. It doesn't help that I'm totally full from lunch.

PSA
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP USING CRACK.
Seriously folks, it's gettin' out of hand here. While I have come to terms with the fact that there are stupid people out there, crack does not help the cause.
Example #1: Using coins for major purchases.
I'm one of those lucky people who get to stand behind them in line with one item, while they are buying groceries for a family of 20 with a big ass jar of quarters. At least have them pre-rolled to make the transaction go quicker.
Example #2: Asking every question humanly possible about what a food item is made with.
You've just upped your chances of getting your food spit in...and not by the server.
Example #3: "I know I'm not calling the right place, but maybe you could help me."
And maybe hell will freeze over as we watch pigs fly over our heads and monkeys out of my ass.
Hurry up weekend...I'm waiting for your ass!

fruit
Who knew strawberries and pineapple would be quite refreshing on a hot summer day such as this one?
It's 4:30pm. I'm SOOOO READY to go home. I could leave early...I had to drop my boss off at the BART station. Hmm...decisions, decisions.
Why can't motivation to work out be the same as motivation to eat ice cream? One of the many wonders of the world...
I still hate it when ugly girls try to act cute. Ugh. What I hate more than that is when ugly girls think they're cute. Hello Cleopatra...Queen of Denial.

and we're back.
What a busy weekend...I had 4 days off and it still wasn't enough! WTH!
Friday: Worked out, went grocery shopping, Ohana for lunch w/ babe at work, drove to San Jose for Tahiti Fete to see Taryn dance but fuckin' missed her because they started early! When do those things ever start on time! BOOO! Picked up babe at work w/ 2 Mocha Fraps in hand, crossed the bridge to IKEA in the EPA, found candles and candleholders for the centerpieces super cheap, Wal-Mart at Macarthy Ranch, on to DnB for dinner and drinks w/ old coworkers. It was fun, but I was faded off 3 margaritas...who's weaksauce now?
Saturday: Woke up butt ass early to get ready to watch Roycee dance at Tahiti Fete, didn't want the same thing to happen that happened to me the prior day so we were there extra early...and guess what...they DIDN'T start on time! Bastards! Stayed there until about 11a (got there at 9a) left to Byron's parents house for Jun's grad party...that started at 5p! Setting up for what seemed like days in the hot ass sun and didn't leave until 3a! Babe's cousin's are pretty funny...I'm so the daughter now.
But wait...there's more...
Sunday: Got up to clean for our potluck/BBQ/day before the 4th. Ate hella in the climate controlled kitchen w/ 10 kids under foot. Illegal fireworks display which everyone enjoyed however I now know what a heart attack feels like. Police came, but like 3 hours later and didn't really do anything but talk to my dad. Had 4 Smirnoff Ices (the twisted kind) within a span of 1 hour after everyone had already left, was drunk as all heezy and babe didn't even have a glass of water next to me on the nightstand! Guess he doesn't know what it feels like to take care of a drunk person.
Monday: Cleaned house like mad people, waited for my lil shit, one of my kids and Katherine to come on over. I heart my sisters! Almost done w/ the invites (cutting them at least), had some ice cream and chocolate cake...now feeling like a fat ass. Some good sex too.
I'm tired and want to go in my car and sleep. Why is it so windy? I hope BART doesn't go on strike tomorrow otherwise I'm likely to kill someone tomorrow.
Lesson learned: Even if the weekend was extended, it's still not enough time.
