The Pressure is on for January (Dang you Pressure)

Wednesday, January 1, 2014Do you work well under pressure?

Actually, I do! Lot's of times if there's no pressure I can't motivate myself to get things done. It's sad when even money won't motivate me. Sad, sad, sad.

Right now I need to finish two sweaters and a fox cowl. That's knitting pressure folks! I have to help my boss get her 8a application finished and I have to get someone's QuickBooks finished so they can do their taxes. That's money pressure. And the ever present pressure to CLEAN MY ROOM! OMG will it never end??????????????

I'll get these things done. Maybe not cleaning my room but hey, no one is perfect.

Here's a little insight into dealing with pressure. Find a mindless video game. Use it to dispel pressure when needed.

Or take a trip back to the 80's, kick back and enjoy Queen and David Bowie signing about pressure. Even Better!

How I would Spend 1 Million Dollars in One Day

NOV. 1: If you found one million dollars in the morning and had to spend it by nightfall, what would you do with the money?

Easy...buy my kids each a house and new car. Buy myself a house and car. Take trip with rest of money assuming there is any. 

Alternate spending scenario...give everyone I know $10,000 until it was all gone. Trust me I have that many friends and family!

 Next question/prompt please.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! 268/365

What a week, what a week! Remember way back on Monday I got my computer? Tuesday was spent downloading programs, helping Mr Jack at the Workforce place, shopping for groceries (ty Federal goverment for these food stamps!) Today came with no expectations except to follow the suggestions of the nice people at the Workforce.

Then the mail came.....

$1448 seized from Mommy Kim for back child support! Did I mention we were worried that the lights and phone were going to be shut off any day now? Score! Of course Unemployment needs to cough up their $4000+ for the past 11 weeks but I digress.

Off to the bank and then to the El Paso Co building to put in another job app. While Jack was filling that out I snuck off to the conference room to knit (OK I didn't knit I just took pictures of myself but anyways...) I heard his phone ring, figured it was Dakota, but by the tone of his voice and the yes no answers I realized it wasn't. He didn't say who it was but he wanted to get the hell out of Dodge after he turned the app in. So guess who it was? A JOB OFFER!!!! Wooooot!!!!!!!!! We ran home to take care of  some business then off to Tab Const for an interview that was actually a flat out job offer. Omg! He starts tomorrow!!!!

Since I have hope now I went ahead and booked a ticket to Pond/Frog fest.

*OK calm down...deep breathes*

I'm so happy

I told you We had MONEY!!!! 134/365

 

Here's a coincidence for you...I used Picture 134 for post 134. I do so love a good coincidence.

WTH is up with the Freaking USPS!?! 120/365

 I went to mail a letter containing two knitting magazines, some knitting needles and some other stuff. Grand weight, 1 lb 3OZ...total cost to mail $8.10...Yeah I don't THINK SOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Solution...come home split it down into two large envelopes. One @ $2.58 one @ $2.24. You know they gripe coz people don't use their services then they stick it to you so bad you have to find alternative ways to get what you have to where it needs to go. This has caused me way too much stress.

Had a few minutes after church waiting for Jack. Clicked a few pictures. This one wasn't too bad. You can see the offending envelopes in my book bag. Grrrr.
