I thought rain in southern California in mid-May was illegal, at least during daylight hours? What gives?!

Sigh. Feeling crappy and the weather isn't helping. Pulled the trigger a week and a half ago on all the job craziness, only to have my health flare up last week. I simply cannot do the hours and the stress, so now I'm going to have to back out of it. On the bright side, the idea of getting out from under some of this stress actually feels really really good. Looking forward to that.

Other than that, I love my car, and Iron Man rocks. That is all.

Loved the flick. Got to hear a rerun of Jon Favreau on the Adam Corrolla show while driving to Reno Saturday. I hope he gets to make the movie he wants to make after all this. He said he didn't want to make the atypical hero movie of the likes we've seen lately and I think he really pulled off something great.

I really really enjoyed it, and I'm glad to hear the sequels have already been greenlit.

I had the funniest reaction to Jon Favreau in the film. I saw him in that sequence in Vegas and thought "Oh, the guy from Swingers. Wonder what he's been up to the past few years? Glad he's getting work." It was about two hours after getting back from the movie that I realized that that *is* Jon Favreau, lol. Still enjoyed his performance in the movie, though.

My favorite was the interactionbetween him and Tony Stark. As the driver he seemed very protective not only of Tony but also of RD Jr. Just wish I could have a cool enough boss who'd let me race against him in a Bentley with his luggage to the airport.

The movie was great. The only parts I didn't like were the parts where Tony Stark surviving just about anything that happens to him. Sorry but he would have been crushed a few times in that movie. Still it's a super hero movie so I let it slide and give it four stars.

Now can I be Tony Stark please?

OK trying to decide if I should eat this sucker. It's blue raspberry and I am pretty sure it'll turn my tongue blue and I have an IEP meeting to attend at 2...I wonder if the color will wear off by then..

Indeed it is mario kart. It's fun but not as fun as it could be. The items just play way to big of a role now. With 12 players per race there are so many items being thrown about that it's just a big crap shoot. Still I like the wii wheel and it is fun to play online some.

Sorry to hear about being so busy. Though sometimes it's nice for a short length of time.

In other Zeek news, my manager just announced she's retiring at the end of the month. Woohoo! No more bad performance evaluations from her! I still have to write up everything I've been up to so far this year for her to report to the new manager. Bah! I'm sure she'll have complaints for whoever they bring in. Though I'll still get to start over and hopefully make a better impression. Don't know what this lady has against me other than she has no idea what my job is about.

Zeebug suggests hurling on the teachers. She is pretty sure you will be sent home tout d'suite.

She also gives you a shoulder squeeze as a real hug might infect her...and wishes you a speedy return to health.

Ponderer: Would you guys ever try to get involved in a friends financial situation? And by get involved I mean try to give advice and stuff. I've got a friend who is awful at finances mainly because she's awful at thinking ahead and planning anything. So, it's like "see money...spend money...bounce check...can't pay loans...bad bad bad". It's really none of my business but it's like seeing a train wreck coming that can be stopped if they just switch the tracks but you know they aren't going to on their own. Argh.

There was this horrible buzzing in my ears all yesterday afternoon. Now I know the source. ;)

Ponder: Don't get involved. The person won't change their ways and it will just be frustrating for both. They will feel guilty when you are around and then they won't want to hang around with you anymore. It's sad, but most of the time, people have to dig themselves a giant hole before they will listen to others and/or change the behaviour.

HUGS Zeek I going to agree with NV and Bug. It won't help. She's locked her pattern. I have a friend who has done the same thing and he's in pretty deep. He's always stressed about money and I'd so love to shove him into credit counseling, but sigh... won't help. He has to see it for himself
If it just gets to where you can't take it... you might anonymously mail her pamphlets from various credit counseling services ( don't put on your return address and mail from some generic post office)

Ok I think I have just eaten the least nutritious lunch ever. I don't want to leave the office and one of my co-workers ran to starbucks so I'm having one of those micro bags of cheetos they put in kids lunches( which I tossed in the drawer from my last training) and a venti iced half caf mocha from starbucks...

[rant]It seems to me that this day and age, people feel entitled to 'things' no matter if they actually have the money for them. A lot have grown up with mom and/or dad buying them whatever they wanted in some desperate need to fulfill some standard of parenting that they didn't expierence. This 'My child will have the best of everything' child-rearing tatic leads to REALLY unhealthy adults with poor work ethics who think they deserve what they want simply for existing. Poopsy-kins has no idea how to work, how to save, or that going into serious debts has serious consequences. [/rant]

It doesn't help that I'm a tight wad and will probably save money like it's going out of style for my whole life. So, watching her do the opposite with negative effects is just painful. Oh well I guess it's not my problem. I just have to close my eyes, cover my ears and go lalalalalala a lot.

Just whatever you do...do NOT bail her out. Nothing is worse for friends or family than someone who continuously bails them out. They have to hit bottom and learn or they will never ever learn to stand on their own

ok that was my little rant.

Hmmmm what do you consider bailing out? For instance there's a browncoat night at a minor league baseball game coming up and I know she's a fan so I asked her if she wanted to come along. She said she couldn't afford it and I was all "I'll buy your ticket if you want". Bailing out or just being nice? I don't consider the ticket to be a major expense.

But no I wouldn't be offering any sort of large sums of money to pay off debt or anything. I'm not giving up spending the money on myself so that someone else can go blow their money on ipods and junk just to live off my savings.

So, that sorta leads to another ponder this friend has brought up in my mind. Do any of you guys consider another person's debt a problem for relationships? I'm not interested in her romantically, but I've thought what if I was and I found out later that she's in a bunch of debt and if we got married she'd just demolish my credit and suck up all my savings paying off her debt. I'd be pretty upset about it I think. It would really depend on when I found out I guess. If I'd been dating her for a long time and fell head over heels by the time I found out about the debt then I don't know what I'd do.

MSB

Thursday, May 15, 2008 10:42 PM

Yeah I consider money management a deal breaker. Not in the you have to make as much or more money than me, but if someone's completely irresponsible with money like that girl, it makes you worry. What if you got involved, but her debt kept you from getting a house. What if you had a joint account and she drained it to buy clothes right before you were about to do something important that you'd agreed on ( happened to my cousin. His wife ( now ex) cleaned out their bank account to buy a bunch of nice clothes and that meant they couldn't go on a cruise they'd been planning ( and he'd been saving for) for a year.
I also wouldn't count minor stuff like they were stretched to their limit. If they pay bills before pleasure 90% of the time or they at least are mindful of bills and are careful with their spending habits then I don't think it's too big a deal. I wouldn't even count it if they'd made mistakes in the past they were still cleaning up. As long as they have a decent sense of responsibility ( because that's really what money management is...being grown up enough to put required before pleasure) then it's all good... ok this was a much longer answer than I meant it to be

Finances are the major deal, I agree. People have to take responsibility for their actions, and accept consequences. If someone always bails them out, they will just do it again.

Slight digression on the subjetc of money -

Now I'm in a sitch where my husband is supporting me at present, while I try and write. This is fabulous, but I am feeling a little guilty, and am going to look at getting something at least part-time so we have some extra holiday money. Point is, first time in my life where I am reliant on someone else's money, and it's very weird. Previously, I've either been totally self-reliant, or, one horrible time, in a relationship where money = power in partner's eyes, ie 'I earn more, so I make the decisions.'

So, am I being selfish in letting husband look after me? (He insisted, after my last workplace got uber-weird.) Maybe some part of me feels like I'm betraying some feminist principle by indulging my inner Nigella half the time, and my inner Christie the rest.

ZEEK

Friday, May 16, 2008 2:31 PM

I totally agree that the poor money management thing is a lack of responsibility. The girl needs to grow up at some point. Bah!

SpaceAnJL, I don't see that as a problem at all. You two are working together to achieve your goals. That's what it's all about right? I mean the plan is for this to only be temporary right? If you can get a writing career going then you'll be bringing in your own income soon enough. Nothing wrong with needing some time to get the ball rolling.

Is she a mean girl, or a regular girl?

That there are no regular girls.

Good morning folks.

Good to hear he's home FLT. All you can do is fuss over him a bit and try getting him comfortable with saying he feels bad. After talking with my Uncle Andrew (he's in his mid 70's) this weekend I know better than to try brushing it off and trying to make myself better. Seems he'd known too many old timers thst did that and didn't make it.

As for this evening I'm making dinner and watching Diary Of The Dead (out on DVD today) after cutting out the fox tails in the backyard. Seems the dogs can't stay out of them and it's time to cut and burn.

This will be fun. We won't have to depend on communications systems for us to plan how to take over the world, cause we'll already know what's right

( isn't he just the sweetest)
Sadly our two seriously dumb dogs cannot stay out of this huge clump of foxtails so they come back inside with tons of the little burrs which I end up picking out..argh

OK LOL we had a fire drill and I was so involved in work ( alarm is not very loud) I didn't notice until they'd cut the power. I was the last out of the building by a good 3 minutes...ooops

HUGS Jimi

Ok must go get lunch to improve my attentiveness

For the first time today, I called in sick not because I'm too sick to work or because I'm contagious, but because I can't handle the drive today, with my joints in their current state.

I hate everything today. *kicks something and slumps out of the room*

Ah feeling much better with a nice evening, wonderful meal cooked for me by a super sweet and wonderful man NV and a good nights sleep and a great wake up this morning...

HUGS to all

HUGS Jimi...

Ok weird ponder for all... what do you think shows love more 1-the little thoughtful things like noticing when someone's upset or doing something nice and simple for them or 2- the grand romantic gesture like a dozen roses and a big celebration??

Personally I think it's the little things that really show how you feel.

Update: Yup, still hate everything. -_-

On the ponder: I think you need a healthy combo of both. Hubby is really good about doing lots of little things, but every now and then it's nice to get flowers or be surprised by something intricate he's planned. I don't think you should rely on just one or the other, but the little things add up to more in the end, IMO.

I would say both, yeah, but the little things count for much more. If there's a guy that only does big things, forget him, he's just a lazy a**. It's easier to do a big thing and forget about it, than it is to do a bunch of little things.
