So, I am eating my cereal, catching up on mails, reading blogs (yes, I DO read them) and both Nala and Bear are up on the desk beside me. As usual, little miss busy-body is being schizoid as usual, chasing air. And then all of a sudden they both start chattering and doing that staccato movement thing that looks like stalking. It’s a bird and he’s right down below the window and they are entranced. They don’t even budge when I get up and look to see what’s got them so interested. It’s funny.

In other news, I haven’t been paid yet. My paperwork is still sitting in the office where I work. Head office (for this franchise) hasn’t even got a whiff of me yet. Now, not only am I pissed at everybody else being paid and not me, but am fearful that for some reason they will send back word that I am unemployable, they can’t pay me and I need to go back home and sit and wait for my green card. Everybody else is telling me they won’t hire me as is … so why should these people?

On top of everything else, out of excitement for the incoming ghost paycheck, I was up before day yesterday morning – unable to go back to sleep after a sneezing fit woke me at about 4am. I had a FULL day yesterday. I sat here researching jobs and school and then went to work for 9 hours from 1pm until 9pm. Came home, raided (surprise of surprises) and then washed clothes and hit the sack. I was SO tired that I didn’t hear hubby’s alarm like I usually do ( and am annoyed by it cos he snoozes it over and over and over …) I heard him getting up and I said “What’s the matter?” He goes “Er … it’s time to get up?” and I go “but the alarm didn’t go off” and he goes “Er … yes it did. Many times.” and I go “Oh” and pass out again.

Its bad that I don’t hear him shower, shave, dress and the next thing I know he is in full uniform, kissing me goodbye. Of course, this gives me all kinds of “You are exhausted woman” clues so I ask him to buzz me at 8 if he can. I don’t think he does, but somehow I heard my OWN alarm and was able to drag my ass out of bed before too late. I heard him in my head going “Camille. Get up.” I have to ask him later whether he was actually talking to me in his head at 8 or not … even though I rather think he wouldn’t have been – he isn’t that kind of person … its just me and Mom who think we can talk to each other in our heads.

The strangest part about waking up this morning was that I heard a guildee of ours (WoW-speak for club member or fellow player) speaking to me in my head too “Just think loudly DAILIES, DAILIES! and you will wake up!” I have NO idea why I would hear that in my head since I don’t know this dude too well, or even talk to him too often in-game … he’s marine corp, but that’s not enough for me to think he should be part of my sub-conscious … ah screw it, just my imaginative mind making up shit again, I guess.

It’s already late as it is, so I better get my ass up and of this chair and into the shower. I have an airborne fizzing in some orange juice because I know that the more tired I become, the more susceptible to illness I get and dealing with the public for 8 hours every day, I am sure there are bugs flying around me aplenty. I can’t get sick. And so airborne it will be beFORE I catch the bug.

You all have a good day, eh?

So, army W2s came out yesterday. As is expected, there was a run on the office. I think it probably wasn’t half as bad as the other 2 offices, but it was bad, because at 9pm. I was still sittin’ there doin’ tax returns when I should’ve been home 3 hours before. I was exhausted and irritable and I just wanted to crawl into bed, but I had to eat and let the food settle first. Man, I just wanted to scowl all night long. Thankfully, hubby WAS mad at me cos I didn’t call to say I’d be late, but he was too relieved that I was ok to be mad for long. He forgave me, made dinner, babied me a little … but then left the kitchen for me to clear up before climbing into bed. I was just so irritable, I said nothing, did what I had to do, and climbed into bed…. where he murmured comfort words to me for a while until we both passed out.

It’s going to be another hectic day today, I think … but this time I am going to leave at 6 as I am scheduled to cos these long days are just not going to work for me.

I can tell you THIS much, this weekend? Yea … not doing a damn thing. Sleep and read.

One small nagging thought, and that is that I am making TONS of mistakes that will just … be my undoing. I can’t shake it. I don’t know what it is. I just hope it’s that guy that lives in the back of my head who is the fatalist, the one who puts me down (sometimes overly so) in order to keep me humble … I hope it’s just him .. and not premonition.

Oh well … I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

/sigh

I am just so TIRED tho … like I am running on fumes even though I am eating and sleeping … I mean, I get 3 meals most days (yesterday was the exception with the wrap that had a hair in it), and I get 7-8 hours sleep at night (except for that hour or so during which hubby snoozes the alarm for like a half hour).

Bear is mad at me, I figure it’s because I am absent more now. I cuddle with them less. Like this morning, I have on a black shirt – I can’t go to work covered in cat hair. The one or two is fine, but if I go cuddling, I’ll be literally covered.

Oh well, time to go worry myself and the car over to the gas station … hope I have enough to get there. That’s what you get for putting it off “until after work” when after work is a whole 3 and a half hours after you expected. /sigh

Laterz.

1. So much to say, so little time I am sick again – for the third time this...

I feel SO tired and achy this morning. I know it’s because I am not used to working these hours. I know it’ll pass especially if hubby keeps his promise to insist we walk every other day. I know I only gotta hang on, hang in there, bear it out … but frankly, I just really wanna crawl back under the electric blanket and cry.

Why?

Well, 10 am to 6 pm is a VERY long day if you spend about half of it sitting around, chatting and waiting… and that is just about all I did yesterday. Sit around, waiting and chatting. I processed 3 customers, 2 were final returns with no saves, 1 was a “let’s start it and I’ll bring the rest of the paperwork in by Friday”. It’s hard for people like me to sit around doing nothing all day. I can get online, but I they say they track our activity and I don’t particularly want them knowing about all my little haunts and stuff online. Altho, I could just sit and read Lifehacker all day =)

So anyway, it’s hard for me to sit and do nothing … you guys know I get into all kinds of stuff here at home when I am here – I am either taking a low activity day and reading for the majority of it, or I am exploring stuff online and playing with my sites. Or, I am playing WoW. Which sometimes I feel I could do with while sitting there … just so I can urge the day to go faster. (Oh yea – want the day to go like lightening, play WoW).

So anyway, I got another call from the local cable provider yesterday. I don’t think people read resumes, since every single person who has contacted me has asked me to go over what I did in my last couple of jobs. Sometimes I wanna say “don’t y’all read?” but that kind of attitude isn’t really conducive to getting hired, is it? Thing is, I get the feeling that no one is really interested in me and my skills, they’re just going through the motions and moving bodies along like cattle in a branding shop. And I guess that goes against my whole being …. seeing that I am a little on the sensitive side of things.

I have to be completely honest, and say that I won’t be heartbroken if I don’t get a high-profile, high-tech job … I don’t feel like joining the US version of the rat race. I’d rather keep the work simple and uncomplicated. But we all know that beggars aren’t choosers, and it’ll be awhile before *I* can pick and choose jobs .. so for now, I take what I can get.

So ok, that was pretty much my day yesterday. I am dying to hear about Yolospat’s few days in Colorado. I didn’t hear from her once, so I am going to assume she had a ball and will call me as soon as she can and give me some updates. Can’t wait, hun. Hurry it up already.

And on that note, going to swallow my many pills and start getting ready to go.

So, today was day 3. I got in early, and it was just 3 of us. I buckled down immediately to some practice scenarios, but soon was bored. So we got to talking – the 3 of us. It was a SLOW day, what can I tell ya? So anyway, they are all like – it’s time for you to do your first return on your own. I’m like – no way Jose. But they tell me that the next customer in was mine and they’d help me.

Well, the next new customer wasn’t until almost 4pm. And as luck would have it, she only wanted to “see whether it made sense to file” … my first customer was a voided return, cos she didn’t need to file, we found it wouldn’t be advantageous of her to file … so she left.

/sigh

So I am still a virgin preparer. Ha!

I came home and hubby said “we are walking tonite” .. so he bundled me up into like 3 layers of warm sweater stuff. I mean literally, I was a bundle of material. And we walked. It was a good walk. There are 2 grades between our house and our destination… and although they aren’t big huge hills, they are a nice little challenge to the walker who is power-walking and out of shape like me. So I came back winded with a nice burn in my thighs, calves and tummy. I tell him we need to do that at least 3 times a week. He agreed. I think it’s not so much that he thinks I need to lose weight, but more that he realizes how hopeless I am about my own discipline to get exercise and how unhappy I am about it… so he’s going to help me.

What a wonderful man! =)

So, I am about ready to hit the hay here … SOOOOO Tired, it isn’t even funny. And not even midnight – which is my target time for bed since I have to be at work at 10am.

All that being said, I am gonna sign off here … y’all take care now, hear?

I post more tomorrow .. maybe. Assuming I not dead on my feet.

Today was good – I put in 12 hours and did REALLY WELL! I am just about ready to do returns and I think based on how new I am that is damned good. The pay not so good … least not as good as I had hoped, but at least I know I can leave anytime I get a permanent posting somewhere.

It looks like it’ll be fun… and the worst of it might be the belligerent few who intend to defraud the system. THAT will be interesting to see me deal with that…

Like today when I said “So I have to tell them that if they LIE to me they are likely to get penalized” and had him say “Well, yea – but not like that.”

LOL

Suit the Fyr to be blunt and direct when she didn’t need to be.

/sigh

Anyways – I am heading to bed with my kindle – I am TIRED!

More later
