27 juni Update and Weekend PlansOverall the network upgrade went well. As you all know I was most worried about the Ex-file and was thankfully released from that horror. The night was long and boring but I made it through and the next day we were met by only a few bumps in the road.
This weekend is jammed packed with fun! Tonight I'm going to the Pittsburgh Pirates' game. I'm not so much excited about this but am excited about being in the ball park with My Prince. Then tomorrow I'm going out to eat with My Prince, my Dad, his wife, and possibly the Royal Family. It should be a fun evening regardless. Finally, on Sunday we're going to My Prince's Grandma's house for his favorite crawfish dish. I hate it but it's fun to watch My Prince indulge in this once a year treat.
Happy Friday,
~FC 26 juni My Favorite Compliment Made to Me TodayMy co-worker had reported a problem with a network printer she was trying to print to so I told her I would look into it. I started poking around with the server it was installed on and saw that it had started printing again. So, I tried calling her to see if it was working and she walked to my desk. This was the conversation that had transpired:
Co-worker: Did you do something to the printer?
FC: Yes, I was just going to call you and ask you if it was working. Co-worker: Yeah it is! You really do, do magic!!! <~~~ (I loved this!!!)
Happy Friday Eve,
~ FC The Ex-File – Mixed with a bit of ‘Strange’ and ‘Happiness’Carrie Quote of the Day: (I’ve missed these! How about you?)
Carrie: When a relationship dies do we ever really give up the ghost or are we forever haunted by the spirits of relationships past.”
The Ex-File
Does a weekend “fling” constitute as an “ex-file”? Well, in my world it does. Here are my points:
q You get that same horrified feeling inside when you know you are going to be in the presence of that person
q All of the memories of the time spent together come flooding back
q You go out and buy a few new shirts to look good even though you look worse than the last time you saw them
q You are secretly happy that you’ve “put on a few pounds” since the last time you saw them because then this should thwart them off from thinking that there will be a repeat of what happened last time
q You are happy that you have pictures of your current Love hanging up in your cubicle
q And if you still don’t agree with me… how about, “someone who has seen you out of your clothes” should change your mind
I am in the horrible situation of being faced with this ex-file tomorrow and Thursday. I’m trying to think of different ways that I can get out of this encounter and keep coming up short. I just can’t wait until Friday when all of this will be behind me. Oh, I just had another thought! I have several new adorable girls running around the office this time compared to last time. Unfortunately those girls will only be around for about an hour after the arrival of the ex-file tomorrow. I have to beg, plead, and bribe my manager into staying with me the whole time tomorrow night; I just hope she plans to stick around. (Mental note: Send e-mail to manager after posting this to find out if she plans on staying and if not BEG!) If nothing else this encounter should end up being a good post. Send me a few good luck vibes that all goes over smoothly and let it be over as quickly as ripping off a band-aid really fast.
*EDIT UPDATE: I just noticed that I failed to tell you why this is happening. My office is doing a network upgrade and this ex-file is part of the project. Actually he will be the one in charge of making this project happen. So, yeah… “awkward” is the understatement of the year.
Strange
It sounds like my “safety net” of being able to live with my Mom this summer has a few holes in it. Her Royal Highness (my step-sister) had moved out of my Mom’s house and in with her boyfriend. Well she now wants to come back home. I was supposed to get her room and now I’ll be getting the much smaller room. That’s assuming that my Mom still has this house to live in come August since her landlords are thinking of selling the house (and Mom doesn’t have enough money to buy the house). FUN STUFF going on here! I talked to My Prince about all of this and he said he would be speaking to The Queen (his Mom) soon about having me move in with them. Whisper a prayer for me that she will let me do this, please?
Happiness
My Prince and I have been in perfect harmony together these past few months, it’s been GREAT! I thought I’d mention this since I do a lot of whining and complaining here about how depressed I am and how horrible life is. We have another fun filled packed weekend coming up. My Prince’s Aunt and family will be coming here this week from Louisiana. On Friday we will be going to the baseball game to see the Pittsburgh Pirates versus the New York Yankees. Then on Saturday, My Prince and I will be going out with my Dad and his wife for my birthday dinner. Sunday we will be going to My Prince’s Grandma’s house for a famous Crawfish dish that My Prince LOVES. I’ve tried to get the recipe from his Aunt but she won’t share. Go figure…
So I am blissfully happy in Love and I don’t care how mushy that sounds because it’s TRUE! My Prince makes me weak in the knees and my heart flutter.
I’ll keep you posted on how my week goes, ~ FC 20 juni Birthday CelebrationsWarning: In the fourth paragraph there is a small spoiler about Sex and the City. I’m sure most of the world knows this information, but those of you who are a bit behind like I was, don’t read it!
My personal “birthday bash” day went over just as I had planned. There were very few glitches along the way. On Tuesday night I went to my local BlockBuster Video Store and became a member. I rented the rest of the Sex and the City seasons I did not see yet. I bought myself a half chocolate half strawberry milkshake from McDonald’s and went home for the night. I spent the rest of my evening watching Sex and the City. I ended up staying up way past my bedtime and it felt great!
On Wednesday I slept in until 10:45am. I then continued my Sex and the City marathon until 12:00. I then took a shower to get ready to have lunch with My Prince. I finally indulged on a craving I’ve been having for a very long time. For lunch I ordered a cheeseburger, French fries with cheese, and a peanut butter cup milkshake. I have no idea why this has been a craving of mine but I decided it was my birthday and I could indulge in it if I wanted to. I ate half of my burger, not even half of my fries, and drank the whole milkshake. I was SO full! I will not be doing that again for a very, very, long time!
After lunch I went to a nail place to get a “Spa Treatment Pedicure”. It was fabulous!!! I’ve never had a pedicure done because I don’t like the idea of people touching my feet (especially my toes). But this was a GREAT treat for my birthday. During the pedicure I sat in a special chair that massaged my back, my feet were sitting in a pool of water that had jets in it to massage my feet, while my feet were being prepared for the pedicure. I can’t believe how much I enjoyed it! I highly recommend it to anyone even if you are freaked out by the idea of someone touching your feet.
Then I went home to continue my S and C marathon. I was disappointed to find out that I was missing a few episodes in seasons five and six. So, when I return the series I rented I’ll be looking for the ones I was missing. I can’t wait to see the movie! One of the biggest disappointments though was finding out that “Mr. Big’s” real name is “John”. That is way too ordinary a name for Mr. Big.
Once My Prince was done working he came and picked me up for a wonderful dinner out at the “Cheesecake Factory”. I ordered a portabella mushroom sandwich and it was delicious! I also had my very first Mojito and enjoyed it as well. Of course we had to have a piece of cheesecake! We ordered a chocolate peanut butter cheesecake and I was ready to die! I had the perfect day off from work with the perfect food and the perfect guy.
My birthday celebrations are continuing this weekend as well. I’m hoping that My Prince rents me a Mustang for tomorrow to drive around in (hey if you can’t own one, why not rent one for the day?) and then on Sunday my Mom is having a BBQ for me at her house.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I know I will!
~ FC 17 juni My Birthday Plans and some Updates
Tomorrow is my birthday and since getting older isn’t fun any more I try to distract myself from that fact. So, last week I requested a vacation day for tomorrow. I am SO glad I did. What a wonderful gift to give myself? This is what I plan to do with my day off. I’m going to sleep in. As in sleep until my body wakes me up and not an alarm. I’m going to workout (can’t skip this, especially on my birthday with all the goodies I intend on having), shower, and then get my first ever pedicure. I told My Prince at the beginning of this month that “I wanted to do something on my birthday that I’ve never done before.” I’ve always wanted to try a pedicure so tomorrow I will. I’m also going to go to my local video store and rent as many seasons of “Sex and the City” as possible. I’m dying to see the movie but want to see the complete series before I do. Right now I own seasons 1 through 3. I’ve seen several episodes from the other seasons but want to see ALL of them. Then I’m going to meet My Prince for lunch and will proceed to consume a cheeseburger with cheese fries and a milkshake, which of course means I’ll have to workout again. I will spend the rest of my day alternating between watching “Sex and the City” and reading a book outside in the sun. Once My Prince is done with work we will then go to the Cheesecake Factory where I will delight in some more goodies. I can hardly wait to start!
It’s official, my apartment has been rented to someone else and I hate the way it feels. I have until August and then I have to get out because someone else will be living in my home. I won’t feel so bad about this if I can live with My Prince and the Royal Family. But if I have to go live with my Mom and the Evil Step Father, it’s going to be hell on earth. Please whisper a prayer for me that the Royal Family loves me enough to take me in until My Prince and I find our own place.
I spoke with the guy who I’ve been in contact with regarding that job opportunity I wanted this summer. He didn’t mention anything about anyone else already having the position and told me he “promised” to call me as soon as he knew anything. He also spoke of having me still “join the team”. So things are still up in the air apparently. It’ll be interesting to see where every thing finally lands. I’m not holding my breath though. I’m still keeping the frame of mind that the position has been filled.
I guess that’s it for now.

10 juni Down and Out(Alternate TItle: Crash, Boom, Bam!) - This is an alternate title because these are the sounds of my dreams crashing down on me.
Yesterday I found out that the job opportunity I was looking forward to getting this summer is no longer available to me. The job was for a school district as their Network Administrator. The reason I didn't get it (or the opportunity to even be considered) was because since they are a union they offered the job to everyone inside of the union first and only if no one wanted it would they start to look in the public. Some one wanted it... and some one got it. They didn't even interview me. To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement. I had at least wanted a chance to get this job and I didn't even get that.
With that being said, My Prince and I now have the freedom to look for a house where ever we want. My Prince and I are now discussing the idea of me moving into his parents' house once I'm "kicked out" of my apartment instead of moving in with my Mom who lives on the opposite side of the city (but would have been the side I needed to be on for this new job).
I guess I really had my hopes up for this job opportunity even though I tried to keep my feelings in check. I just feel trapped in this job that I can't stand. Even when I have opportunities made known to me, I still can't get out.
I just... don't know.
