Friday, May 16, 2008She works hard for the moneyHelga was tired of hanging out with Kitty Girl and Sylvester so she decided to tag along and come to work with me this week. At first I think she was a little intimitaded by my beaded flamingo - Flash. You can just tell what she is thinking....  Helga is a very quick learner and so when she was done with all the filing, she wanted to be in charge of the phones....  Before long she was interviewing like a pro.....I even taught her the art of twanging...  But you have to watch out for that Helga.....she is a sneaky one. She definitely knows how to schmooze....  Now on to my Mr. Cheeky news. I couldn't really say anything until it was announced officially....but it has been so now...I can say it.....Mr. Cheeky has been promoted....AGAIN! This is the second time since we moved here in Dec. of 2005 (I think its the 5th time overall since being with the company). Woot! Manchild had his first soccer game of the season last night - they won 4-3! I hope ya'll have a GREAT weekend....I myself am going to the Rubberstamp/Scrapbook Expo at the fairgrounds this weekend. See if I can't OD on some scrappy goodness. Labels: Helga, Man Child, Mr. Cheeky 
 Wednesday, May 14, 2008Not sure if I completely agree - but it is what it is
Tuesday, May 13, 2008So I know its supposed to be about Helga todayBut I am too lazy to find the cord for the camera so its gonna be about me instead. I have a decision to make. I have been going back and forth with it for a couple of weeks now. I have to decide if I want to try and take this contract gig full time. On one hand its not really hard but on the other my commissions are based on other people doing their job and doing it successfully. They are nice people and I like them but these people are very green....and inexperienced....and don't know how to do the job well - and yet my comissions will be based on them. Ummmm I see major frustration with that. There are some things about the company as a whole that concern me. They are learning some tough lessons right now but the fact that they didn't have the foresight to see you can't do what they did is concerning. But then again.....it is money. Decent money. AND I know they want me so I have some negotiating power (telecommuting a couple days a week perhaps). So, I am torn.
Monday, May 12, 2008I am spoiledI know it. I say it all the time. I.AM.SPOILED. But it really is Mr. Cheeky's fault so we will blame him LOL. Yesterday was Mothers Day. And I was spoiled again. I was served coffee in bed and was told to stay there until breakfast. I came down when breakfast was ready and was given a gift card to Kohl's (amount not disclosed and when asked I was told - its enough to get whatever you want....woot). After breakfast I was told that I could go shopping at Kohl's and then go to Archiver's and get whatever I want (such a dangerous statement). But I decided I didn't want to go to to Archivers that day (Bella and Jessica, I know you probably just passed out when I said that). I decided that since I am going to the rubber stamping and scrapbook expo this weekend at the fairgrounds I wanted to save my money for that. So, I chose to go into my crafty room and play. While the men folk cleaned the house and did all the laundry and changed the sheets on my bed. Yes, go back, read that last line again.....see told ya I am spoiled. Later in the day, Mr. Cheeky took manchild to get new shoes for soccer, teenage daughter was working, and I was playing. It was great. I got 8 layouts and 10 cards made - WOOT! THEN.....Mr. Cheeky made the most FANTABULOUS dinner....LOBSTER.HONKER.SHRIMP. So.very.good. Yes, I have left overs (no left over lobster - that is the first thing eaten). Yesterday was just what the doctor ordered.....I am recharged for a while. Now on to other updtes. Mr. Cheeky has news, but I can't talk about it in a public forum until Friday. Helga has been busy. Her update will be tomorrow. One more thing - read the post before this one if you haven't already. It was a rare weekend post so I am not sure if you saw it. If you blog and post pictures on your blog you MUST read it and go to the link. Then spread the word.
Saturday, May 10, 2008So, do you like keeping what is yours?OK ya'll know me. I am not one to go all political on my blog. And when I do get on my saopbox its typically because people are stupid and can't drive or cut me off, or are rude or some nonsense as that. But....there is something going on out that there will effect all of us that blog, participate in message boards, share photos (via flickr, blogs or other site) on line. There are two bills in congress right now that if passed - would give companies the right to take ANY picture or image they find on the internet and use them as they see fit. Go HERE to read about it. It failed before because of public outcry but this time they are sneaking it through. Read about it and share this with your friends and family that blog or share images on line. Stepping off my soapbox now.......
Friday, May 09, 2008I'm LateNo time to post - must make tons of muffins for a girls last day at work....will post later today or this evening. OH and Mr. Cheeky is coming HOME tonight - Woot!
Thursday, May 08, 2008I love messing with these peopleI get a call last night. At first they called me by the female version of Mr. Cheeky's name. Ummm no. Then they called me Mrs. Cheeky and completely butchered the pronunciation of my last name - which for the record is not hard to pronounce. Then I sat there as she went through the schpeel..... "We are a market research firm, we are not trying to sell you anything, we just want to get your satisfaction levels with your local utility company would that be alright?" I may have replied: "No, that will not be alright because I am pretty much never satisfied with anything". When will these people learn.
