I DID IT!!!

I just gave my 30 notice to my landlord!!!! It's T-minus 8 months and counting for me to relocate to North Carolina!!! I am so excited.

Gone too soon ~ Alaina Reed-Hall and Brittney Murphy

I was very sad to hear about the passing of Brittney Murphy at the very young age of 32.

Such a talented actress, whose light was snuffed out before her time. Clueless is one of my favorite movies, she was in and I thought that she was too cute.

The news of her passing only confirmed once again that life is too short and you have to live it to the fullest.

Knowing that most deaths happen in 3s, as I was googling about Brittney's death, I received a tweet that Alaina Reed-Hall from 227 fame also passed. I remember her from Seseme Street as well. 2009 has been so full of deaths, and I pray that 2010 isn't the same.

Asthma and Immunization

For the past 1.5 mos, I have been sick. Symptoms of coughing, sneezing, congestion, horrible headache and ended up with bronchitis......that was was a month ago. I found out today that I have "Cough Variant Asthma". Here is a description of CVA: http://asthma.about.com/od/adultasthma/a/art_CAV.htm


So now, I am on 2 inhalers to help me breathe. Then I out that I was due for a TDAP immunization shot. (Can I say that I HATE needles??) My arm is showing signs of soreness already....

At any rate, hopefully I will be back on the mend for good in the next couple of weeks.

Soon to be my new BF: Apple MacBook Pro

While visiting some cousins in Houston, TX, I noticed that they both had the Apple Mac computers. I needed to get in my yahoo email and I was in playground heaven!!!

I became very impressed with this and knowing that I was going to get a laptop, I decided to look into Apple laptops. I had became a little discouraged because of the pricing, but I decided to go ahead and treat myself, as this is an investment and something I will get my monies worth. Last week, I found that we get a discount thorough my job on any computers or laptops. Whether PC or Mac. That made the pricing for me much more affordable and I am very excited that I am getting this laptop!!! I have read the reviews and it looks to be very promising!!!

Surviving in a Back Stabbing Enviroment

Hurrah!!!.....I have found another environment that is toxic with mills of whispers and rumors! And now, I have gotten caught in a tangle web of little white lies and a untruth.

I was surprised and a bit confused to find out on Friday, that two of people have went to my boss with statements saying that I am continuely walking around talking to people in a particular department. Because I was completely caught off guard, I sat and listened and took everything in.

I have been at my job for the last 2 yrs and I have visited the same people in this department every day the same time. Chit chatting among co-workers, right? Well, I guess that it was said that it's a distrubitive situation and employees in this department aren't getting their work done!

I have to admit, I got caught slipping. I have gotten a little too relaxed in my new situation and now I see a couple of people out to at fuel to this growing fabrication! It was mentioned to me in confidence and I was thankful for it. But, now I am in a position where I trust NO ONE!

I can't help myself, but I am now looking at everyone as "that person who complained"!!! The saying "CYOA" (cover your own Ass) definitely has given me new meaning!

The sad reality is that I can't trust anyone here (save a couple people) and using those people as a sounding board for the stress levels that continue to raise here has been my outlet. Now that this has been brought to my attention, I am back on my "Ps" and my "Qs"....
