I finished the rough draft of the play! I'm so excited. This is the first thing I've been able to write and complete without getting stuck in like the past 15 years lol. Of course it's just a short play but I can wait to see it done on stage. Yaaaaay! In other fabulous news, I got a call back for a second interview for the medical billing place. They want me to come in on Monday at 10. Wooohooo! Big monies, big monies, no wammies, no wammies!

Hmmmm I just got an informal wedding invitation from the bride. I went to school with her but we were never really friends. We were always friendly to eachother but never hung out together. I think I might go if it doesn't conflict with my schedule. The last random friend date I had proved to be a fun time and we've had another since then. It's not the same person, but they are all from the same clique from school. I wonder if I can convince Chuck to go, I want to introduce him to another school friend of mine who I think he would get along with very well. I was complaining about coworkers on my facebook account and another friend mentioned that it sounded like a good dinner theater idea lol. Now I have this whole play going on in my head that needs to be written down. It would be a dark comedy kind of like Office Space, Clockwatchers, The Office. Just live theater style.

Not sure if I mentioned it before or not, but at the carnival I ended up running into my main junior high crush. Chuck was teasing me endlessly because I was blushing after getting a great hug from him. Now I get to turn the tables on him hehehe, he actually joined facebook to keep up with some of the people he has worked with since they are students and leave to go onto their careers after completeing their residency. Well he ended up finding his crush on facebook, she was the type that they were really good friends but never dated. By the time he sort of had the confidence to ask her out she was already dating one of his friends, then he met me. He was all giddy about it when he was telling me yesterday. So now I get to tease him >=) hehe. Work has been horrendous the past few days. We have been having a lot of internet and computer program issues here. Of course the main bulk of my work I need both of those to be able to do it. So annoying. I'm surprised I was actually able to get on here to type this. I still haven't heard from either of the jobs I interviewed at. The most recent one I suspect will probably be awhile because they still have the job posted online. I really wouldn't mind staying here a little longer as long as they fired a few management people >=) On sunday we went to a BBQ at a friend's house that I met through theater. She's the one directing the kids play I'm stage managing. There were a few other people that I met through theater too. We had a great time, it ended up raining so had to have the party inside. So we ate burgers and hotdogs and played board games. I laughed my ass off at trying to play Pictionary. The one couple that was there are a lot of fun, I'd love to hang out with them more. I think after that party we might. David found out about Chuck's passion for Mystery Science Theater movies so he mentioned that they will have us over one of these days to watch some. They live in Corning which is 25 minutes in a different direction. I think his wife is the closest to my personality than I have met. Just taller and louder than me hehe. She's a big amazonian woman, but they are both a lot of fun. I can't wait to get the house remodeled enough so I can invite people over for those kinds of things. I'm a little embarrassed by the house, not because it's really crappy looking and dirty because it's clean right now and a good house compared to some of my friend's homes, but I'm embarrassed because we really haven't done anything with it in the past 7 years. Our furniture is that of a bachelor pad, random things here and there lol and the most decorating I've done is a couple of framed movie posters and Matt Cail's paintings :D Since Chuck and I are both insanely busy this summer, I'm hiring my friend's boyfriend Chris to come in and do minor work, and painting. So hopefully by this time next year I will at least have enough of the house done to where I will want to have people over.

Reason #6549131897 on why I should have my bosses job: I'm able to make important prioritizing decisions days and sometimes even months before he finally makes up his mind or realizes it's not working

We have a resident opossum that has been hanging around. He's gotten into the garbage, the bag of empty soda cans, and the recycle bin. So I decided that instead of having him rifle through the recycle bin and chewing on the plastic that I would put out some peace offerings. I had been wanting to start a compost bin but haven't had the time or the energy to get around to building one (wasn't going to spend a few hundred on buying one). And I didn't want to have a completely open one either because of animals getting into it and the fact that it would be stinky. So I just set some compostable stuff out on the step as the peace offering to the opossum instead lol. He likes apple cores, but not carrots. Yesterday we came home and noticed that he had left us a gift, regurgitated berries that didn't agree with him. Which that was the other thing that prompted putting out the "peace offering" lol. So I guess I'll do that instead of just throwing the stuff away. Crazy Opossum anyway, he's a cutie. I saw him one night digging through the bag of returnable bottles. I went to put out kitty food instead but he ran off on me. Maybe I'll just go ahead and start an open compost pile out there by the patio, the animals can take what they want out of it and leave me what they don't want lol.

Ok finally got all of the found monies counted, here are the totals: Previous total $27.10 Current total $34.62 It's a mixture of returned bottles we've found and found monies on the ground. |

Haven't heard from the woman I interviewed with, but I did get a phone call to set up an interview for another job I applied for. They did a phone screening to see if they wanted to interview me, and she sounded pretty optimistic. She kept talking in cryptic codes like she wanted to offer me the job right then and there haha. I think that phone screening was longer than the 2 interviews I had for the hospital job combined. Funny! So I have that interview on Friday morning. I'm excited about this one, I think they actually would want to pay me more. And they are more likely to have a pay range based on experience instead of just a set amount like the other one does.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. That's how I feel about work right now. Everything still takes ages to do and just feels kind of pointless in doing it because I'm convinced the company is going to go under....unless of course my boss gets fired that is. Rumor has it that he got bitched out by the board at the last meeting, so maybe that is possible. I think I forgot to mention that I went for the 2nd interview on Friday. That seemed kind of pointless and sent me mixed messages. The interview only lasted like 2 minutes...not even, and that's only because I mentioned that I had went to Vegas and the person interviewing me had been there a few times. She said she had like 7 other people to interview and was going to try and get them done Monday and Today, then get back to people on Wednesday. She's not very timely so I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for a call on Wednesday. She seemed concerned because the job they are hiring for right now only starts out at $10 which is less than I'm making now. I told her I was fine with taking a paycut if it means getting my foot in the door and only being a mile away from home. That's the only thing I can think of that would hinder her from hiring me, for that position anyway. She said they will have another one open up in a couple months that will be $11, which that's still less than what I'm making but not as much. I don't really want to wait a couple of months, because every day here just drains me even more, but I just might have to....unless they lay me off hehehe. I went to the doctor yesterday before whatever sickness I have got worse. I think she thought I was overracting and all she prescribed me was cough medicine for my cough. After being exposed to strep throat, and other random sicknesses that doctors couldn't figure out, of course I'm going to be cautious and go before it turns into something worse. So I'm left sounding like a teenage boy going through puberty, and a nasty cough until it does get worse, or hopefully better. Also just wanted to let you know that I haven't been slacking on the found monies. I've been finding monies left and right, just haven't really had time to document them. I'm going to do a total tally count tonight when I get home since I actually have an evening where I don't have to be any place else. I can sit at home and watch movies while I finish up some tedious theater stuff. I also have a bag of cans that I need to take back so I can include them in the found monies.

Hmm I think my sore throat may be progressing to Laryngitis. I woke up this morning and I sound like a frog. But that's the only spot the problem is, in my throat. No fever, no stuffy nose, no runny nose...well more than usual anyway. I'll go gargle with salt water and see if that helps some. Last night I went out to a concert with my mom. We saw Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. That was a lot of fun, and tickets were only $10.

All work and no play makes Beth something something... This data entry is killing me lol I can't concentrate and it's so boring. I hate doing double the work. I am having a small discussion on facebook with someone I went to school with about being Childfree. It's funny how people can't grasp that concept. I took a silly quiz on there out of boredom that tells you when you will get knocked up, according to facebook I will get knocked up on October 3rd, 2011 lol. She had the same result as me and was excited about us having hypothetical kids together. I told her that hopefully my result was wrong because I don't plan on reproducing. Here is how it went down: Kelly: We are suppose to get knocked up at the same time!! I would feel horrible if I was responsible for putting someone through all of that. And that's just covering my bad genes, not even including my boyfriend's hahaha. I think that's the first time in a looooooong time that I've had someone pull the "Oh you'll change your mind when you are older excuse". After having that discussion I was thinking about the genetic problems I am going to be prone too. I had been trying to cut down on eating meat, and doing pretty good at home on that aspect but lately we have been eating out a good amount and when I go out, I usually get meat. So when I go grocery shopping this weekend I'm going to get some supplies to make some good vegetarian meals. Of course my vegetarian meals are hardcore and don't leave you starving lol, especially my vegetarian lasagna. Mmmm I need to see if the ricotta cheese is still good in the fridge, I can make some more of that since I still have the huge back of frozen spinnach. I started my morning off good by dumping a cup of coffee on my lap and desk. Fortunately it was only half full and room temperature, but wet jeans are no fun and now I'm going to smell like coffee the rest of the day. Guess I can't wear these jeans tomorrow hehe.

I don't really want to be at work today. I think I'm getting sick. My coworker was sick with some weird illness that she doesn't know about, then her daughter was sick. And to top it off one of the kids from the play is seriously sick, the doctor told his mom it was strep throat without even doing a strep test....his symptons do not sound like strep. I think I got whatever I have contained, I've been taking nyquil at night and doing the vitamin C thing. Hopefully it won't get any worse than a sore throught and a little congestion. I have finally heard back from that job I interviewed with waayyyyyy back at the begining of the year. I have a follow up interview on Friday at 2. yaay for me! I also applied for another billing position that they had listed too, since I didn't hear from the other chick. I updated my resume on Monster because I'm so ready to move on, this place is driving me bonkers with the lack of management and common sense. But I keep getting people trying to offer me insurance agent jobs way far away, duh my resume says MEDICAL BILLING and only in Ithaca or Schuyler county. Crazy people, I'm not that desperate for a job. I hate sales, and I hate insurance, definitely don't want to combine the two lol. I did come across another job posting in Ithaca that I applied for, I would really prefer getting the job that is only a mile away from my house, but I'll still take a job in Ithaca depending on what it is. This one was a Medical Billing company down at the other end of the street from where I currently work. So that wouldn't be so bad plus I would get more experience in Medical Billing so that I can take my Coder test. I'm hoping that the classes will help boost my chances of getting the job that I have an interview for this week. I have to bring her an updated resume, and remember to let them know that I hope to take a week off in October. Speaking of which, <a href="http://cozycabin.wordpress.com/>here is</a> the cabin we are going to stay at. Turns out it's in New Hampshire not Vermont like Chuck had told me. It's only $700 for a week, so that's not too shabby. Dan is going to pay $200 towards it, so we will pick up the rest. The boys will go out hiking during the day and come back to a hot meal. I'll be lounging, and reading, and exploring the woods and town by the cabin. So excited! Going to be gone from 10/24 until 10/31.

Argggg. We went and got new phones last night since the contract was up and we get free phones. Chuck was all excited about getting a new one, kind of funny since he barely uses his phone anyway. I just remembered that I'll have to enter all of my appointment things from the calendar on the new phone. Since they only transfered over the contacts list and nothing else. The Carnival comes to town this weekend!! I'm so excited. It totally snuck up on me. Chuck wanted to do the pay one price ride all rides deal but they only do it on Thursday night and Saturday afternoon. Thursday I have rehearsals, and Saturday I'm prepping everyone for the parade since we are marching in it this year. So we'll have to go on Friday and buy some tickets. I've been working on creating a banner for the theater group. I can't believe they don't have a banner. It's just going to be basic things for now, the name of the group and the slogan "over 30 years of community theater". I'll have to decorate it at a later date when I have more time to paint. I've decided that I'm going to up my job searching. I think this company that I'm working at won't last much longer if they keep the current management staff. Plus it's time for me to move on anyway, been here since January 2006. I still haven't heard from that other job that I interviewed for awhile ago. I'm going to call on that one next week and leave the chick a voicemail. They had another job posted that I thought about applying for but it's Per Diem so you only work as needed and can get anywhere from 0 to 32 hours a week. If I was going to go part time I would need at least a set amount of hours each week. We finally found out the fate of the Homecare department staff. Even though they have worked for this company for 35 years, they didn't even offer them a job with the clinic. Of course that's probably because the Clinic has no money, but still. Poor Maryann is going to have to go start over at a new place after 35 years here. I think she will benefit from it at least pay wise because I at first thought she was going to have to take a pay cut going somewhere else but she told me what her salary is and they pay her diddly squat compared to everyone else. Hell I just started here and I make 2 grand more than her. So if she gets another job, chances are it will definitely be more pay. I guess I'll have to quit my coffee addiction since that's where I was getting it from hehe, the homecare department. Oh well that's probably a good thing for my body. My billing coworker is out yet again. She still has no clue what disease she had last week, and now her eye is swollen shut. Joy.

I forgot to mention the possiblity of another trip this year. Chuck's friend Dan wants to go to Vermont for some mountain hiking. So we might all go for a week, I'll be lounging in a nice log cabin enjoying the fall weather. I told him as long as it's not around the 17th since that's my Zombie Walk weeeeeee! I wish I could get paid for all the work I do for the theater group, then I could quit here and just do that full time hehe. I would get so much done and have the organization completely turned around into a successful group.

What a crazy week. Wednesday and Thursday night we had auditions for the kids play Dr. Dolittle. Got a lot more kids than we expected, ended up with a total of 60. Jane was trying to keep the maximum down to 50 for casted, but we ended up casting 59 of them anyway anticipating the usual drop outs. Tonight is the first rehearsal. I had thrown together an improv group last week to perform at a Relay for Life event on Saturday. I was told that we had an hour time slot, since the person who was supposed to put something together backed out I quickly threw together the group and stayed up late organizing things for it. Only to have our time cut in half when we got there. That totally sucked, but at least it was a little exposure for the theater group. Work has sucked major donkey balls. The new computer system is a bust, well mainly because certain people didn't do their jobs before it went live so it's basically useless. Haven't been able to bill in it yet for the past month. I predict it will be another couple of months before I'm able to. My boss really got on my nerves last week along with the Business manager, I sent out angry emails and refuse to help the business manager now when he's short on coverage at the front desk. And to top it off my coworker who is always not here, was out sick all last week possibly with something contageous. Which of course she came to work first before deciding to take the week off. The doctor doesn't know what it was, but the symptoms were similar to the Mumps.

Definitely the best experience was getting to see Penn & Teller live on the big stage. The tickets were like $80 but completely worth it.( Read more... ) When we got back spring was in full bloom here, all the trees had their leaves and our strawberry plant had it's first strawberry. Of course all hell had broken loose so the past week I've been busy trying to clean things up, surprisingly it wasn't at work at least, but it was for the theater group. When I left this one guy was going to put together a group to do some kind of performance at a Relay for Life event on the 30th. I guess he didn't realize that he was supposed to lead it, I told him he had creative control to do whatever he wanted. Then the President had been talking to other people about having them perform also, then left them all hanging. I don't know why he even butted in since he's not going to be here during the 30th. So the guy that was going to put a group together decided he didn't have enough time now to put something together because he never got a straight answer from the president. Now I'm busy running around trying to put together an improv group for it. Blah! |

After playing around in the Circus Cirucs casino and resting up for a couple days we finally went out to go see some sites. I knew it was hot but didn't expect how hot it would feel to me since I'm used to the humid heat and not the dry heat. All week it was in the mid 90s then jumped up to the 100s the last days we were there. ( Read more... ) |

Got home a couple hours ago. I just tried going to sleep and am suffering from major jetlag. It sucks that I didn't get used to the time zone change until the day before I was to leave. I'm glad to be home, had some fun, lost some money, won some money, lost some more money, saw a few shows, took some pictures, have blisters on my feet. More detailed entry to come later this week.

Boarding passes, check List of cheap buffets, check hotel confirmed, check List of haunted places, check list of ghost towns, check Just need to pack, get the bunnies set up in their exercise pens, go to sleep and dream about winning it big, then take off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I still have about an hour and a half left at work, blahhhhh P.S. I went out with that person I went to school with. Turned out better than I thought, ended up staying up way too late talking. Got back home at about midnight and a little tipsy.

I walked over to the other building this morning to take the deposit over and my coworker Chrissy was like, "you're staying right?" and I give her the blank stare, then she reminds me that we were supposed to have a phone conference meeting about an insurance company. OH SHIT!!! That was a big waste of an hour and a half of my life and work time. Of course only 2 of us made it to the meeting, our boss didn't even show up. Turns out he was playing golf today. =\ But at least on my walk over I did find a dime! It was sitting on a grate that goes around a tree, it was just sitting there waiting for me to pick it up. Kind of like it refrained from falling down through the grate slats into the junk below just for me! Yaaay! Total Monies found: $27.10 Towards the end of the day I ended up finding a few problems with the new system and also had a few questions pop in my head. So I sent those to the appropriate people so that they can worry about them >=) I was just on facebook to confirm an old school friend request. My mind said to itself, "hmm you should turn off the chat option on facebook before someone tries to chat with you." I'm more of a listener than I am a chatter, so I get a little panicky when people try to talk to me because I usually don't have much to say. A lot of the people on my facebook friends list are the theater people and high school people, and generally they don't do the instant chat thing with me. But of course before I could turn it off, bam one pops up! Noooooooo!!! It was an old class mate and she had been sending me messages on there through the "email" feature, she started talking about possibly hanging out sometime, going to get a glass of wine or something. I had gotten busy from work so hadn't returned her last message, turns out she had the day off today so she was looking for stuff to do. I already had plans to run some vacation errands after work though, so I told her that but added if she wanted to do it later maybe we could around 8 or 9 tonight. I have a feeling it's going to be kind of awkward. We hung out a little bit when we were really young, then not so much or basically not at all during high school. Guess that's what I get for volunteering to help out with the reunion. Blah, maybe I'll go if she calls...who knows maybe she's hitting on me hahahaha.
