I haven't been posting much. Been busy. And of all freakin' days to not be home to watch the Oprah. Dang. I have been waiting for the show to hear what she would say about it (being the James Frey and A Million Little Peices business) and today... I miss the whole thing with the whole controversy and seeing what she had to ask and ultimately say. I know what he said. "I stand by the book", the publisher probably said "We stand by the book but there will be an authors notation in any other published versions describing the nature of the author's truth" but I wanted to hear The O ask something hard. Color me frighteningly annoyed that I didn't get to see it. Someone will put up a transcript somewhere. He stands by his book though. I am sure of that.

I also had a little emotional breakdown because of the actions of another today. I was made to feel like I was doing something wrong by putting some information into the hands of an employment agency that I was working with about a job that they submitted me to. I was belittled and demeaned and treated like shit basically. I usually take things with a grain of salt but today, I was struck by just how mean and vicious this woman was towards me. And to be honest... it hurt, alot. So I stood up for myself and let someone know that because of her attitude and her treatment I won't be involved with them any longer. I have a very strong feeling that this woman effected the ultimate outcome with this company in the first place, and of course there is really no real way to know, but being told one thing and having the actions tell me another is striking a little too close to the fire. My skin is a touch thicker because of this woman after today, and its sad really. I don't want to be this hard callus potential employee to any one. Calling her a nasty little yiddish name (**cough kurva cough cough**) wouldn't do it justice even. Lets be absolutely honest here... the woman was a class A bitch to me. So... enough of her miserable behaviour. They won't be making any more money off of my working through them any longer. Then about 20 minutes later I get called about another temp job. Ok so I am good enough to temp out for you, but not to call and let you know about a full time position? Nope. I am done with them. It was a bone they threw me to make nice, but I called them back and said no. I should have said Hell to the No, but I was nice. Because really I am nice and am mad that they made me feel not nice for about an hour.

lets see... having a great time though with my new bestest friendish Steevoh. I realized that I can save all sorts of really great programs and am totally freakin' thrilled. We are going to work out just fine I think. I have added the Tick to the rounds. I miss the Tick and apparantly it reruns every now and again. Excellent. Oh and hey... family guy? yes please. and what is that Steevoh? You think I will like American Dad? Oh my friend you are so right... save it for me too. Steevoh sees I like me the dirty little late night stand up... would I like all the Dave Attell I can handle? OK!!!! I did say no to the British Office though, since I don't know who any of the characters are and the accent is hard to concentrate on sometimes.

Shopping joy on the sidebar, if you haven'te noticed. wists totally kicks ass. There are people who add blogs to their wist but not me. Its all about blatent consumerism, interesting design, pretty pink things and interesting food for me!

I am getting my new furnace this weekend too. This... makes me happy.

Needed to replace some lights in my kitchen today, the dude at the Lowes was a little shocked that I knew what a ballast is and that I was going to get the right type of bulb for the really old fixture in my kitchen. Hey....maybe I can work in the lighting department at Lowes? Now how about that....? I could wear one of those cool aprons that I write my name on with a Sharpie and all? I would totally put little flowers on each side of name just to be fancy... it would be like....
