Yeah. He gave her the job. I am beyond disgusted right now.

I have been working with an extremely difficult client lately and I am just plain weary. People just… make me weep. Especially people who are requesting my services. We have a form on our website that we ask potential clients to fill out. It’s nothing personal, nothing big at all; just some questions about what services they use already and what services they require. And yet… people NEVER FILL IT OUT. It’s always left blank – almost all of the questions. If you are requesting a web design quote, wouldn’t you want to be as descriptive as possible? Apparently our potential clients don’t care.

In other news, there are ants everywhere. I keep finding strays crawling on my desk and I don’t know where they are coming from. Ants are one of my worst hated bugs ever. Yuck yuck yuck.

Ugh, I’m cranky.

Well, I don’t have much to say. I’m exhausted. I work all the time. I get to see Jason in less than two months. That is all.

One of the pet mice (Tarzan) got very ill this morning. When we bought them on Wednesday, the guy at the pet store told me if they got ill to bring them in and they would be treated and we could either 1. get a new mouse or 2. get our mouse back. So, on my way to work this morning I brought Tarzan into Petco. He was very lethargic (I actually thought he was dead already) and it looked like he had an owie on his belly. The girl said he had either got bitten by the other mouse (Chunky) or he has a UTI. So, she turns to me and tells me to pick out another mouse. This kinda took me by surprise. I was expecting to leave Tarzan there. If he lived and got better I would come get him. If he died, then I would pick out a different mouse. But she didn’t give me that option, so I ended up getting a new mouse and taking it to work with me. I didn’t want to keep the mouse at work all day in the little cardboard container because I knew he would chew through it eventually. I had Cailyn’s uncle Shawn come pick it up and bring it home.

Well, an hour or two later I get a call from my hubby. The mouse made it home and in the cage just fine. Then it promptly climbed up to the top of the cage and squeezed through the bars. After chasing it around for quite some time, my son managed to corner it and grab it by the tail (he did get bitten in the process). The mouse hasn’t tried to escape again, thank goodness. We decided to name him Houdini.

How about you guys? Any interesting pet stories for me?

I guess I’ll steer clear of the controversial subjects with today’s post. No one seemed terribly interested in talking about those types of hot button issues, I suppose. I can understand why – not everyone wants to get into a debate on the interwebz. I get it.

Today was spent mostly at work – no, wait – today was spent wholly at work. I worked at U.S Cellular from 11-8:30, got home and worked for a client on a website from 9-Now (midnight). I didn’t even take an hour lunch at U.S.C. because we were so busy. Speaking of U.S.C., I found out that a manager from another store is thinking about applying for the job I’ve been waiting for. Yeah. That’s WONDERFUL. It’s really just made me that much more confident about getting the position. </sarcasm>

I was discussing this earlier with therbee on her LJ, but thought I would bring it up here as well, just to get your opinions.

Please explain to me how someone can be Pro-Life and also be in favor of the death penalty? I simply can not wrap my head around this logically. Is the right to life only for innocent people, for babies? Does it only apply to people we see as “good” or “pure”? Do you forfeit your own right to life when you take it from someone else? It just seems hypocritical to me. How do you pick and choose who’s life is worthwhile? I guess I always assumed that pro-life meant for everyone. I didn’t realize there were stipulations.

The abortion “issue” has never been one that I’ve had strong feelings about personally. I would never, ever do it and I don’t advocate it, but I certainly don’t want someone else to tell me I CAN’T do it if I felt it was absolutely necessary!

The death penalty isn’t something I’m for or against, really. It’s a subject that I’m pretty wishy-washy about. I don’t think statistically that it helps with the crime rates at all, (but you know what they say about statistics). It may or may not help with overcrowding in prisons, but with the appeal rate I can’t imagine it would be that impacting. As for the moral implications – meh. I’m ok with an eye for an eye, I guess. What do you guys think?

Work has started to pick up again for our web design business and *ta da* Tasha has her internet back! Just in time! We have a site to design for that race car driver, we have a couple of eBay jobs to do, I have work to do for www.thumbmonkey.com and I have a Pro Store to design. So… busy busy busy!

As far as my “normal” job goes, still no word on my promotion. Craig says I should know by the end of the month, but to be brutally honest, I don’t think I got the job. And you know what? It’s ok if I didn’t. I don’t think I will move to another store if I don’t get the promotion – I will just continue in the capacity that I’m in right now and I’ll be the best sales person I can be.

Any StumbleUpon users? I adore StumbleUpon, but it sure can eat up a whole day. Anyway, I was perusing through it on my lunch hour today and I noticed that every other link led to an article about Sarah Palin. And every article I read was negative and pointed out her lies and/or lack of experience. It just makes me wonder – how is she so popular? Everything I see is negative, everyone I speak to has not-so-nice things to say, but yet she supposedly has high approval ratings. I can’t wait for this election to be over… I just can’t take all the stress! Oh, and speaking of stress! I sent in my voter registration weeks and weeks ago, but the online voter verification thing says I am not registered. And on Obama’s site it says Wisconsin is not accepting new registrations. WTF? What do I do now?

Just a little post tonight. First of all, happy birthday to me. I didn’t get anything and none of my friends seem to have remembered. Oh well. It’s just not as big of a deal when you are older, you know?

I am feeling a bit better than I was last night, thanks to those of you that responded to my pouty entry.

I can NOT draw vector hands for a cartoon mascot. I just can’t do it. The mascot is cute, but he has no hands.

Our logo will be on a race car this weekend!! The race isn’t airing until October, but you can be sure I’ll let you guys know when.

You know what? I have tried to write a blog entry tonight and it’s not working. I am not happy with my husband right now and each time I try to blog about it I just freeze up. Let’s suffice it to say that I’m not feeling very loved and I haven’t been for awhile now. And this is nothing new to me. Sigh.
