a change is gonna come

[tinkerlion]

i hereby can not take anythint else crappy coming my way. i've really got all i can handle right now. between sick family members, fighting my job over their mistake (which will cause me to lose a weeks pay:mad: ,) job also not sending bonuses out when they were supposed to, the house being a money pit (latest drama is $425 to fix air conditioner not covered by our home warrenty,) and being woken up at 4:30 by the puppy insisting she must go out to the not go to the bathroom for 30 minutes.

enough, good things can start happening. it can start with work getting their sh!* together and fixing my pay and can continue to cool weather until the air is fixed and a safe and amazing trip next week.

seriously, if i didn't have the GLaSS show next week i would have really lost my temper. but a change is gonna come, i just know it. <fingerscrossed>

[Rensul]

holy crap- why would they take a weeks pay from you? That is nuts. I'm sorry you have so much CRAP on your plate right now. I am sure good things are coming for you- sending lots of positive vibes your way:)

[tinkerlion]

at the begining of the year i called to see how much paid time off i had. so i took my last weeks worth last week, but they forgot to enter it at work. when we called it in to hr they are trying to say i have one week less (it's done by time with company.) yesterday was a really bad day with lots of arguing over the phone. there is wording that makes it very ambiguos so i'm still fighting it. trying to get in contact with one person at corporate who has more flexiblity. they really brought out the bitch in me.

i've been hardcore prioitizing money for next week. i'm having a damn good time! i'm doing without everything i can to ensure plenty of drink money.:D

[Rensul]

ugh- that really sucks. I hate having to fight with people. I hope you get it resolved quickly...always protect the drinking $$$-LOL!

[Barefoot2Dream]

:) hey tink things will get better for you.jut remember keep your head up high.I will send lots of postive vibes your way:) :) :)

[tinkerlion]

yeah, i had a turn around today, even if a small one. i'm getting a free oil change and tire rotation saturday. normally this wouldn't be that big of a deal, but i needed to have this done before i leave (yeah, i'm excited, so i won't be shutting up about this till tuesday) but didn't want to spend the money on it. i'll also get to combine it with spending time with my sister since she has to bring me the coupon. this made my day:p

[34redsox34]

thats cool tink.you allways got to take of the vehicle thats for sure.I glad things are going better:)

[Sgana]

Good on you Tink. Positive thinking, brings positive outcome!!! Keep it up and the rest will hopefully sort itself out soon enough too ... in your favour of course!! Sending you more positive vibes from across the world ...

[tinkerlion]

so either i got that week's pay and my bonus still didn't come, or my bonus covered for that week's pay. i'll find out when i go to work, but i'm happy to report all my bills are paid! i even get to go to cingular before work and complain about the crappy phone i've got. if they don't give me a better one i'm canceling my contract and going to verison.

[Rensul]

that is happy news...I have verizon and have been very happy with them...

[lietuvaite]

glad to hear it all worked out for you. it's a great feeling when all bills are paid, especially when you're not sure if they will be paid!!

[tinkerlion]

got new phones from verizon. plans cheaper too. good stuff.

[Rensul]

glad it worked out for you- did you do the family plan thing? That works great for us...

[lietuvaite]

a new toy is always fun :)

[tinkerlion]

yep we got the family plan. the only thing i migh have to look into is the larger text and picture messages. i freakin' love to send text messages, and with the camera phone it'll only get worse.

and i'm such a sucker for new toys. if i could afford to be i would have every new technological gadget that came out ever. i just love to play with that stuff, see how it works.

[the duke]

do you have to pay anything to cancel your plan???

[tinkerlion]

yeah, $160 for two phones. i hate to pay it, but it's better than being stuck with phones that don't work well.

my husband has discovered the voice recorder on his phone. well, actually i told him about it. the main thing is that he is recording all sorts of...stuff. this will be interesting.

[the duke]

oooh, I think it's about $300 to cancel my contract....but our phone companies work different here.

I have a video setting on my phone that lets me video things...such as gigs...I'll see what I can do at G in October :)

[tinkerlion]

I'll see what I can do to G in October :)

i bet you will;)

[the duke]

i didn't mean it like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going with my boy, so I highly doubt I'll get far...oh well...next time ;)

[tinkerlion]

i know, but it was just so easy.

hope ya'll have a great time! do you have any other friends going with you to the show?

[the duke]

Nope, I'm the only one of my friends that's going cuz no one else likes them...the boy bought me tickets because he knows I like them, and he's going because I like them. He'll be converted though, i'm SURE of it :D

[tinkerlion]

i got eric to admit that they put on a good show, and he put them on his ipod for when he drives. liz was converted this week though. it's all fun. you can always meet good people at a g show.

[the duke]

yeah i'm kinda wondering how many people will be there. Not sure how his fan base is down here.

It's a pretty small venue, so we'll see...last time I went to this place (prince of wales) was to see De La Soul and I got squashed, so it's not the best place for a gig...

[tinkerlion]

hopefully it'll be a nice size, but with enough room to dance around and such.

[the duke]

yeah I hope so too...i'm SO excited, and it's still so far away!!!!

[tinkerlion]

it's on the 17th of october right?

[the duke]

Yup...it's in the last week of my classes, which means i won't have any assignments due, so i can have a good time without stressing...

But, I have one due on Monday and haven't really started, so I better get to it :)

Have a good one Tink :D

[tinkerlion]

you too! get lots done and stuff.

[lietuvaite]

so are you going to have G. Love ringtone? I used to have baby's got sauce on my old phone; can't put one on my present phone though.

[tinkerlion]

well, my number from cingular won't transfer until the 7th, so i can't look through what they have yet.

but right now my ring tone is baby's got sauce. it was booty call, until i left it in my jacket last holiday and i got several calls when i had a couple of new hires doing paper work back there. that didn't set the store manager image up too well. oh well.
