Went to Japan

ended up in Cuba.

The bf and I were supposed to go to East(Japanese restaurant) and on the way we drove past a Jamaica/Cuba festval and decided to stop there instead. I had spanish something rice and spanish something pork. (Yes, I got straght A's in Spanish.) Had some coffee cheese cake which was delish.

There was this energetic little boy there, running around amusing himself with everything he sees. I love how easily he was amused.

OK, my sexy is in dire need of preservation. I'm gonna start running for real this time. Already called Greg, we're on.

Also got this from Nuri:

jutc is slick

or so they think. Went to their site file a complaint but their complaint page wasn't working, I wonder why. But they have a page full of email addys, I'm a email all of them and post it here, I need to vent.

Do all the drivers take lunch at the same time? Why was I forced to stand in the hot boiling sun for nearly 40 minutes and not one bus? And its not like I was waiting on just ONE bus either. I was waiting on a 70, 72 or 75. And on Wednesday, April 26, 2005 from 12 - 12:40pm there was no damn bus. Coulda been a hour for all I know cuz I had to call a friend to come take me to work.

Secondly, something has to be done about where the current bus stop is, no damn shelter from sun and rain.

Yay! Got my Ipod connector! Now I can listen Pink and all the new music I've gotten in the past weeks.

I hate my cable company, even WITH the cable box service still sucks! I hope Flow comes with some great digital cable service.

Anyhoo, I'm tired, bedtime.

weddings are expensive

so, went wedding shopping today, $$$$$$ eloping never looked so good. Upside is, Terra Nova hotel is really nice, great personable staff unlike Courtleigh.

I plugged back in my drives, so far so good. I replaced all the original sata cables so lets see if this makes a difference although I doubt it.

what a day, what a day

So C&W had some internal routing prob when it came to our email server so our customers on their connection have been calling and cussing all day. Got one call today, I'm explaining what's happening and the id10t is like, I'm not some Joe Blow you can't fool me. So I'm like, if you dont believe do a tracert, he's like a what?? Mute button is my friend, so after I had my chuckle I had him do a tracert and he saw for himself and shut the hell up.

Another guy, called last week talking about low connection speed and sloooooow browsing. So I'm explaining to him it's prolly his line quality, dude totally gets loud and rude at me saying the service sucks, nevermind its been great up until that day.

So he call back today, wanting help on something else. So I asked him hows the connection problems. first thing out of dude's mouth, "And I was rude to you wasn't I?" For some reason that cracked me up. And he's like "I'm sorry, you were right, I called the phone company and my wires were crossed."

Worst part of today was that I had to deal with the madness on an empty stomach. Had some great pizza in the evening though.

OK, O'Rayne is finally getting that I want IDE drives. This SATA thing has gone on too long and put me sooooooo behind on a project it's not funny. All this stuff is just backing up on me.

I really really really want a dog.

Tomorrow is Hailu's birthday. Still cant believe he's gone and it's times like this I'm glad I didn't look at him in his coffin. I dont want that in my memories of him, I wanna remember him alive. I miss you Hailu.

My first art...

This is my first painting. Done by Gregory Brown, my god daughter's dad. And I can't wait till my room is done and I can hang it there :)

for the last time

To the boyfriend,

I had already written this post out and the damn computer crashed so I'm gonna be lazy this time around.

Look, I'm sick and tired of having to ask you to make time for me. I hate that whenever your schedule laxes you find time to go hang with your friends and none for me. And NO! Me being around you while you're at work, or fixing a friend's computer or at my workplace typing away on your laptop doesn't count.

I'm tired of having this convo with you, hopefully putting it in writing will make something stick.

Also, if I have to suggest or remind you it sorta defeats the purpose.

To O'Rayne and this fucking computer,

I dont care what you do get me two replacement IDE drives. This SATA is shit. I'm sick and tired of having this thing crash in the middle of doing something. Now I'm getting errors about possible corrupt files. And yes I have all the damn updates for everything. I'm weeks behind on stuff I NEED to do.
.............

On to good news, I brought my painting home today. Some time during the week I'll post a pic of it.

it's been awhile...

Where have I been? Home and work. And both places are a PITA.

@ work, we now have to do Customer Care for something else which means we have two new phones to answer, which would be all well and good, except, Ive yet to receive proper training and secondly, there's no queuing or voicemail system for it. So today, I'm on calls and the other phones start ringing. I can't put my customer on hold to answer it can I?

So after this happens the second time, they call wondering why calls aren't being answered. Which is understandable but I didn't like the tone of the questions, almost accusatory. So I told him, I'm the only one on duty and I was on a call. they need to go back to the drawing board and work this thing out.

@ home. After weeks of computer problems, I'm starting to get the full picture of my problems. Apparently the computing world isnt fully ready for SATA II hence my always crashing computer. New drivers, new cables, nothing works. I think, I'm just gonna switch back to IDE drives.

And something totally icky, I gotta be vague to protect innocents not so much the guilty. Gotta trust your instincts people, you gotta. So I was at Leela's home hanging when her dad comes to me all sneaky and whispering, "What's your email address?" I didnt hear him at first so he had to repeat it like 3 times. And alarm bells go off in my head but I try to downplay it. He's always been a cool guy, so I'm trying to tell myself, its nothing sleazy. So, I give him my email addy. I tell the bf on the ride home and he's like, that's how he is, it's prolly no big deal. I love him, always looking on the good side. So, I get an email this morning(yes, I'm posting it here):

shhhhhhh..its me..can you be discreet??

How are you?..can this be our secret??...let me know...then..i will tell you what i ve wanted to tell you for a long time....ok?

So, any volunteers for a reply?

JUTC does it again

So went to take the bus today, wat a raasclaat joy. 1st the 1A comes on top wen the eediat driver come talk bout is only one stop him a mek like di bus a Express but I wasn't in the mood fi him and him foolishness. A shoulda go pon the bus and press the buzzer fi every stop.

Then the 8A, the bane of my existence. The 8pm 8A strolled in at 8:35pm wid the driver smiling, wish I could make him swallow it.

Now I'm formatting my drive that I thought was ok but it isnt hopefully the prob was in the original partitioning or wotnot and I dont have to send it back, here's to hoping.
