Just Another Manic Monday...

Wow, yesterday was crazy, I didn't even get to do my "Not Me! Monday!". It all really started Sunday night. Here is the back story to the craziness of Monday: Alan and I went down to Corpus Christi for a day/night to hang out and just get away from San Antonio. It was a blast, we went to the USS Lexington, had drinks at a local restaurant right down the street, then headed back to the hotel to hang out/cool off before dinner time. We finally headed down to the hotel bar, got some recommendations, and went on our way. We ended up finding an Irish Pub, we stopped, of course, hung out with the fun people there, then moved on (finally) to a place called "Crawdaddies" right down the road. The food was awesome, there is no way I could complain. After a late dinner, we headed back to the hotel, watched some TV and called it a night. The next morning we slept in, get read for check out, then wondered down the Marina for some Joe's. This was the start of my problems leading up to Monday! We ate lunch then decided to head back to SA, we needed to do laundry, and still go to the store for the week. It was an amazing trip and I can't wait until our next one together!

Well, Sunday as we are getting back into SA we decide to stop at Wal*Mart right down the road from me instead of going to my house, getting comfy then having to leave again. As we are shopping, my stomach decided it is going to tie it's self in a knot and pull from both ends, feeling like the knot is getting tighter and tighter!!!! It was horrible and I thought I was going to fall over in pain, I guess it showed because Alan could tell right away something was wrong. Being the best boyfriend ever, he unloaded the car, took care of my dog, and let me go right to bed and lay down. I tried to eat but that just made life 30000 times worse. Finlay feel asleep and woke up a million times but did get sleep! *This is also to come home and find that my AC had gone out at some point over the weekend... this doesn't help ANYTHING!!*

So, Monday comes... get up for work, still feel like crap but gotta pay the bills, right? Get to work and the first thing I notice is that one of the windows at the front of the office is broken. Come into the office (it's usually sooo cold in here, so remember my AC at home is broken so I'm looking forward to the nice cool office...) and it's 80 something degrees inside!!! THE AC AT WORK MANAGED TO BREAK AGAIN!!!! So, come to find out, sometime between Saturday and Sunday afternoon someone took a pretty good sized and heavy rock and threw it at our window. It broke through the outside glass (which was ordered thicker so people couldn't break in), a gap, another window, and then few across the room, hit the filing cabinet and dented it big time. My boss thought at first that it was some kids, with nothing better to do, breaking shit. I told him I thought someone did it, didn't realize these windows DON'T open and just took off instead of making more work for themselves. I had to file a police report (they did it over the phone, so much faster then waiting for someone to come over and it means I'm not taking an officer off the street where they could be doing something important), get the window people out here, and figure out what to do until the new widows come in and get fixed. As all of this is going on the "wonderful" AC dude comes by, looks at the AC unit, says what broke, and of course has to leave to go and get a part to fix it. I quote "I'm going to get the part, I will be right back...", in my mind I'm sooooo sure you will "be right back". Of course he takes over an hour to get back (by now it's 85+ in the office) to fix the damn thing. Fixes it leaves... now the AC has to cool down the whole office... it finally gets nice and cool around 4pm! Thankfully once I was able to get out of the office, I got to go home, hang out and just do a lot of nothing (besides a load or two of laundry), and try to make my stomach feel better (it was feeling a little better yesterday and a lot better today, I'm pretty sure it was the food I ate).


This is what you see when you drive up to my office now, a nice big hole in the window! This is also the first pane of glass the rock went through.


This is the second pane of glass that the rock went through


The rock that went through the window... we have a lot of rock (and stone) at the office but this is not one of ours, so who ever did this brought their own rock along.


My now dented filling cabinet... thankfully it still opens and closes!!

Now that Monday is over I'm crossing my fingers that the rest of this weeks is calm and flies by! There is a lot going on but I'm ready for a fun filled couple of weeks!! I hope that everyone had a nice calm Monday and it was nothing like mine!

Love,
KJ

Not Me, Monday!!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.



I've not missed you Not Me! Monday!, becuase if I've missed you that would mean that I have not done a Not Me! Monday in awhile (or a week) and that is NOT ME!! I'm always on top of my blogging and keeping up with everything, on time of course!

This week was a nice but crazy one, it really started LAST week at work!

The AC unit did NOT break one day, nope, things around this office always work like clock work, never breaking!

The temp in the office did not reach of 90 degrees before the boss came back to see how bad it really was. He did not then say "I thought you liked being hot...." I actually love the hot weather but we ALL have a breaking point and I've found mine is anything above 102 (not including heat index) so take 102 degree weather outside with 90 degrees inside... nope, not digging the hot at that moment at all!

I of course called the AC dude to come fix it, I of course did not HAVE to leave the office to go pick up plants (in 102 weather) so I would of course be at the office all afternoon, sweating to death. He of course couldn't make it out... I had to suffer until the next day... made the appointment for 8:30am

He of course showed up right on time: 9:45 am, I did not call with a major attitude at hand. Nope not me, I don't yell at people, ever. Especially when it comes to work people... I must always be professional!! Poor, poor people who make me mad :)

He fixed the problem, but NOT after he told us that there was a leak somewhere and to fix said leak we would have to TEAR DOWN A WALL to fix it... Nope, because remember things run like clock work around here!!

Oh... the plants thing.. my boss did not tell me to go to one place, I did not get to said place, call him and find out that I was at the WRONG place (he also did not tell me a name to ask for, I did not go to the wrong place, ask for said person... I did not get the most confused looks in the world.) I did not make these poor people take me around to look at the plants that I needed from them.... to then find out that I was of course at the right place.

Get the actually plant place, ask for guy, guy did not have a major attitude (remember it's hot... no ac at work, I was of course in the best mood ever)... I of course did not want to punch him in the face, nope, I'm not violent at all... I would NEVER THINK OF HITTING SOMEONE, EVER!! :) Of course on a real note... I just thought of hitting the guy, gave me major attitude back, got my plants, blasted the ac and went back the the hot, hot office.

The boss did end up letting me go home early that day, I of course did not go right home to relax in the cool, cool air of my house. I decided it would be great to run errands... Nope, I'm smarter then that, I would never put my bad, hot attitude on others!!

Now, skip forward to this past weekend!! :)

Friday I did not have the day off of work, I did not clean the bf's apartment for him in return that he did not get my well over due oil changed in my car. Nope not me! I wouldn't have to make that deal because I'm the best at getting my oil changed!!

I also did not go to lunch or a movie with my friend Jen. I also did not cry for almost 2 hours at said movie. I also did not suggest to people that if they didn't want to cry then they should not go see "My Sister's Keeper".

I did not get in another fight with the boyfriend, nope, we get along soooo well allll the time that it's just not me to be in a fight with him!!

Saturday:
I did not have the best time ever on the 4th of July celebrating a 4 year long tradition with another one of my friends. Nope, I'm not into traditions at all!

I did not sit in the heat (103) at 6:00 at night with her, people watching, talking, taking fun pictures, just hanging out until the sun went down and we could start to cool off.

We did not get upset at the family sitting across from us. We did not get annoyed to hear a parent encourage their child to squirt people with a squirt gun. We were not at an AFB, she was not squirting men and women in their uniforms!! I would never get annoyed at a child having fun, nope not me!

I did not have the best time ever though, celebrating this tradition with my friend. It was not well worth every second :)

Sunday:
I did not get into another fight with my bf, remember, it's Not me to fight!

I did not go to dinner with my another friend, then have ice cream. She of course did not pull me out of my funk.

Monday:
Oh how I love to talk about the AC at work! This morning I did not get into work, find it muggy and then of course be told that the AC until had broken once again. Nope, this wouldn't happen to me because the AC unit that wouldn't break wasn't just fixed the other day!

I was not told that the light flickered, buzzed, and then liquid shot out of the AC unit. I was not secretly happy that I was not at work when this happened.

I was then not forced to call the wonderful AC man that is always on time! I did not call at 8:30 this morning asking for him to come as soon as possible. He of course has gotten here... it's not 9:50am.

He also did not tell (with an attitude of course) I guess I will cancel the plans I had this morning to fix the problem... I of course didn't think to myself... fine, keep your plans, I will call someone else who will fix the problem right, the first time. Nope, not me... I would NEVER think something like that.

I also was not informed that the office had a broken water main down the street. I did not have to call SAWS to have them come out. I of course was not told I was not the fist call of the day, they will get there when they get there!

I of course am soooo happy to be at work this wonderful morning. I am not tired and a little grumpy, nope not me! I always go to bed at a smart time to be well rested for the week and what is ahead. :)

Happy Monday!
