Apparently I'm a bit full of myself

What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are quite expressive and thoughtful. You see the world in a way that others are blind to. You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds. You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you're a bit full of yourself. Your near future is a lot like the present, and as far as you're concerned, that's a very good thing. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

Look at what I've done now

stop and think, that maybe other people need praise, love & validation just as much as you do? It's lovely to be the center of the universe, but sometimes it's nice to let someone else feel like they are the center for a little while.

Finally - Redux

Well, she didn't say 1 word to me all day. Walking past each other & she ignored me. Running into each other in someone else's office & she ignored me. Passed by my office 2-3 times during the day & she ignored me. Sheesh, is she 53 or 13?

Ups & Downs of a Job

So back in October we had this. http://valiaderekin.livejournal.com/110794.html A few weeks later was this. http://valiaderekin.livejournal.com/113786.html Finally it's in writing. http://valiaderekin.livejournal.com/122366.html More promises made. http://valiaderekin.livejournal.com/127417.html So, on to the present. On 6/9, the CEO asked me if I wanted to move into my Former Boss-Lady's office (my office!). I asked if it was a permanent or temporary move. CEO said permanent. I told her that I was starting Payroll on Monday, but that I'd be happy to re-locate after I finished Wednesday. I asked the CEO where Former Boss-Lady was going to end up. She said she would be in a vacant cube in the Marketing area. Former Boss-Lady got told of her pending move on Tuesday, and was not thrilled...to the point of not talking to me for the 2 days she was in the office (she only works Tuesdays & Wednesdays). Wednesday afternoon, I left an email for the IS Manager & let her know that they could re-locate my computer anytime. Low & behold, I come in Thursday morning & my computer has vanished. :) So I spent the better part of Thursday moving all my stuff from the Reception area to my office. Today is Tuesday. The reality of the situation will be firmly presented when Former Boss-Lady comes in and sees me ensconced in 'her' office. Now that we've got her out of 'her' office...what can I do to get her out the door altogether? Seriously, I'm not sure why she's still there, what she's doing or when she's actually supposed to leave. When I resigned on 3/22, I was told that she'd be out of there by the end of April...which has since came & went. And sheesh, while we're talking about timelines...will I ever get my new job description or start working on something else besides the same 'ol same 'ol that I've been doing since 9/7/01?

It's nice to 'know' what someone thinks of you. Its even better when they go out of their way to spell it out. In a Tribe testimonial....for anyone to read. Valia is my succubus. That's hard for people to understand sometimes, so I generally break it down like this (Purists, bear with me.): mythologically, a succubus is a female sex demon who comes into your mind, dreams, and/or bed and steals your life energy while you sleep. And, yeah, this one will wear you out! Well, she wears me out, and I am young and enthusiastic. I am lucky. Valia is warm and thoughtful and devoted, and so often it seems like she knows just what I need and how to give it to me. Should that slip, she is smart enough to listen to what I think about the subject. No One Twue Dominate Mistress here. I appreciate her willingness to communicate, process, and compromise -- and I sure as hell appreciate the times she grabs me by the hair and shoves me up against a wall to shut me up. On the surface, it seems an unlikely pairing. She's a definite sadist... I do not consider myself a masochist (I'll make that very clear when it gets too owwie). I'm a budding service sub... she does everything for herself (and has her own girl for the things she doesn't want to do). She's a toppy bitch a lot of the time... me, too. (Sssh!) I'm good at being a pillow princess... and so is she. (Well, okay, we switch up once in a while.) She doesn't like brats... but she likes me. (She likes knowing my "off button", too.) We work well together. Life is made of balance, yes? --Her Wench

But I LIKE wine in a box

I am 24% White Trash.
Not at all White Trashy!
I, my friend, have class. I am so not white trash. . I am more than likely Democrat, and my place is neat, and there is a good chance I may never drink wine from a box.
