People amaze me

For any of you that don't know my profession, I work for a limousine company. Why do most people let out a little burst of excitement when they hear that? No, its not glamorous. No, I don't see movie stars all the time. In fact I have only seen a couple in my entire life. There is nothing spectacular about my job or my office. If anything it is quite the opposite. I deal with a bunch of a-holes all day, complaining about this or that. Yes, this is my job. I accept that, I'm just completely surprised by people and their arrogance sometimes.

This guy calls to bitch about his pick up. This isn't unusual for him though, he makes a complaint almost every single time he travels. He tells the guy that he booked the car for 05:30, it is currently 05:25. The dispatcher he speaks to tells him that we have the car scheduled for 05:45, but he's only a few minutes out, so he should be there by 05:30 anyways. Chauffeur arrives at 05:31. This dickwad tells him, I know for a fact that I booked it for 05:30, I am absolutely positive that I booked it for that time...so much that I will pay 3 times the normal amount if I am wrong.

I listen to the tape. Guess what time he said? 05:45. So, now do I have the right to charge him 3 times the amount??? I freaking wish. We would be able to recoup all the past money I gave away to him to shut him up when he kept freaking out about this or that.

This was just one idiot I had to deal with today.

New Blog

I did it. I thought about it and there is too much nonsense on this blog for people to catch up on our family if thats the only reason they come to look. I want to be able to come here and release whatever is on my mind. Which might include the occasional Fbomb...which I know some of my viewers are not fond of. This is my place to get all my thoughts out now. If you are interested in just the family life, check out the new blog. I hope to update it as soon as possible.

Meal Plan Monday

Monday - Left over pizza
Tuesday - Fajitas

Sunday - Probably leftovers

Something to do

I'm stealing a couple of ideas from various places. I've stolen an 'about me' thing from the Professor and am going to steal something from Tib. I found a site with a bunch of daily things, here it is. Feel free to join in and take the idea as well. I am going to try and have a theme for each workday. I don't often get on during the weekend unless Toby is working, but I will make one for one day of the weekend.

*Monday - Lets hear what you're planning to have for the week. I don't normally plan for a whole week at a time, especially with our crazy schedules, but I'm gonna give this a whirl.

*Tuesday - Get your work done and take pictures of the progress! Maybe you are going to clean that room that you've been meaning to get to for months or maybe something like taking care of that pile of dishes in the sink...no task is too small! Take a before and after pic and post it here. Check out this blog, there are a lot more to check out!

*Wednesday - This is the day when no words are needed. Post a picture that is self explanatory.

* Thursday - Lets hear what you are thankful for, I know I have many! Thanks for the idea Tib.

*Friday - Weekly photo challenge. Each week I will post what the challenge is for the next week. The photo can come from anywhere, I will be taking mine personally, but you don't have to! Since I haven't done one this week, I will post my topic now, so there is something for this Friday....the topic is....happy. Interpret this however you like!


* Saturday or Sunday -List seven things going on this week.

So thats it folks. Let see how long this will hold my attention.

To be or not to be

I'm not quite sure, but I might make a separate blog for the fam. I wanted something originally to tell everyone what is going on with us but this has turned into random thoughts with a splash of the family. So we'll see, I haven't quite decided yet. Mostly it depends on my laziness.

Twilight

Ok, I have given in to peer pressure and have started the Twilight series of books. After poking fun at some girls at my moms board I couldn't stand it any longer and bought the first two books. Started reading the first one last night and its getting good. I was a little embarrassed when I bought them, they were in the young adult section. I mean...I know I am sort of a young adult. We will see how long it takes me to finish it, as I started last night, Nicky was jumping all over me and asking me to read it to him. Obviously mama doesn't read 'adult' books too often in front of him. I can only imagine saying in the sweetest tone possible (you know that baby talk when reading kiddie books)...'and then the vampire sucked the life out of the girl.' I'm sure that would give him lovely dreams.

PSA

Pretty sure that I can't be the only person that doesn't know this tid bit of information. This guy, Colin Hanks, probably most known for his role in Orange County is Tom Hanks son. I was informed this while watching Untraceable a couple weeks ago. As always I have to say where I've seen other actors before. So I say to Toby...hey, thats the kid from Orange County. He says...yeah, Tom Hanks son. My reply: WHAT?!?!? Thats Tom Hanks son?!?!? Get out, no way, are you serious? Pretty much every way possible way that I was absolutely stunned. This lasted for like 5 minutes, literally. How could I not know this? I love Tom Hanks, I didn't know that was his son!!!!! And no, his mother is not Rita Wilson. In case you were wondering.

So, here's my announcement for all of you that are as clueless as I am.
