Cause mine, not so much, obviously!
So Happy February! I cannot believe we're 2 months into 2008 already. Thats insane. When I was a kid, it was like I didn't have a concept of time. Now, it's like, it's constantly moving. Obviously. LOL..Anyway..It's been what, 10 days since I was here? Im trying to keep up on being a good blogger, but I do forget. So I missed 3 days of work and all week of school which means, Im waaaay behind. In my CPU 200 class I was a lesson ahead, now Im a lesson behind and I can't work on anything from home (as of now) because my trial version of Microsoft 2007 expired and it won't let me do sh*t on the word program (or excel or powerpoint) which is REQUIRED for the class. Now I have MC 2007 to install, but I need Evan to install it because I don't know if I have to remove the trial version or not. Just like I didn't know I had to remove the trial version of Nor*ton before I installed my new one. Good thing he was here to do that for me. But as of now, he's not here, and I don't have time to wait til Sunday for him to install it. I was planning on spending tomorrow working on that class. I guess if it come to that, I'll go to school tomorrow from 9-12 and get work done. Im also way behing in my MOS class, but not just because I was sick. In this class, you enter doctor's office data (like appointments, Dx, patient info. etc) and your assigned a computer in the the lab that ONLY you use. Therefore, you can't take the work home cause it has to be done from that computer. So, when the computers at IBC go on the fritz, it's impossible to do your work. Monday, 5 computers f*cked up and 5 of us go to go hoem early. Normally, that would be good news, except that for me, this is the 2nd time this has happened so while everyone else is in chapter 4 or 5 Im stuck in chapter 3. And then, at the end of each chapter, you have to print off a review of your information to make sure everything is entered right. Well the computer decided to copy 2 patients over into my files that aren't really there and now the prof. has to go through and get rid of the two extra patients while trying to save my other information. In a word, panic. As in thats what Im doing. We are going into week 5 and Im 2 chapters behind. Not good news. The only class Im half-way caught up on is Prof. Persp. Although I had a make-up test I wasn't ready for yesterday and half-assed it and forgot about a mini-paper we had due. Good job MA. Oh and I haven't paid tuition for the week I was sick or last week, so bye bye $280.00. So thats school in a nutshell. Always fun, always exciting.
Wedding wise, got some good/bad news this. So lets start at the beginning. I don't like the pastor of my church, in general. I think he's fake and that he is turning the church into his own superficial fun house. I used to really, really like him and get a lot out of his sermons. He's the pastor that baptized me after I said I would never do that. He was really awesome, until about 2004. That year the church decided (well thats not an accurate point, some PEOPLE within the church decided to secretly purchase what is now the Community Center and tell other members it was this great thing and you should donate TONS of money to them). Anyway, that was the year that Rachel and I became friends and it was because we both thought it was a little screwed that the people involved in the purchase of the center (the pastor included) thought it would be a good idea to hide the fact that this place wasn't going to be part of the church, but it would be a "seperate entity" So the money and work going towards the center wasn't part of the church, though members were being lied to that it was. So one Sunday in the summer of '04, Rachel and I went before the church during a business meeting and let it be known about the seperate entity bs. To say people were shocked would be a massive understatement. This was one of the scariest things I've ever done because going before the churh meant that the people that were involved in this "secret" would be in the audience. They were pissed and there was a general uproar. The meeting last 2+ hours. Some people had a LOT of explaining to do. So to get back to my point, the pastor proceeded to go in front of all these people and call Rachel & I liars, backstabbers, bad Christians, faithless, against the church, just really bad, awful things. I've not liked him since then, especially when it came out that he was part of the group that lied about the center in the first place. He was part of the facade and never apologized for the names he called me (and her) and the fact that he had the gall to question our faith and whether we were really saved or not. He's kind of a sh*t. And as previously mentioned, enormously superficial. Like another "for instance." This year on my b-day the preschool children had a performance on Sunday morning. After it was over, the pastor introduced the then director in training, Kristi and went on about how he just loves working in the preschool and going down and visiting the children....Umm..number one, he has NEVER worked in the preschool and he pretty much makes it a point to avoid the children at all costs. He never comes down to see the kids unless he is leaving some kind of note for the boss or has to pass through to get to another part of the church. So see how he likes to make himself look better then he is? Superficial. So ANYWAY, we received a letter this week letting us know that he is retiring from the ministry and therefore will no longer be pastor of our church. Cue the Hallelujah Chorus. I am pumped. I am hoping we look for someone younger, and that has a heart for Christ that can stay out of all the church politics and can genuinely & effectively help the church grow. And then I had this thought, "what if the church hires D.Thompson?!" Oh sweet Mary. That would be the only thing worse then what we have now. She is crazy. She preaches all kinds of hell and damnation, not a good preacher, she's very liberal, eco-friendly, etc. and not so very nice. She'll have her ordination in May. 1 month after our current pastor leaves. Oh lord no. So I just flat out asked the secretary in the office that knows whats going on who was going to do weddings and pre-marital counseling now that the pastor is leaving. And who do you think is doing it? DT? YEP!! I almost passed the f*ck out. There is NO way she is doing my wedding or premarital counseling. Now, we have already scheduled my childhood pastor to do the wedding ceremony, but since he is retired, he doesn't do pre-marital counseling. He's doing the wedding as a favor to me since he christened me. So the good news is the pastor is leaving, the bad news, DT might become the new pastor and is in charge of weddings. Ughh..so I don't know what we are going to do about counseling. I think we may try to see if the pastor from my old church will do it or if someone from CTS can do it. I don't know. All I know is that if i get married again, Im not having a wedding or counseling. I'll just run off and get married and no one will know.
Evan. Where do I even begin? First of all his stubborness will someday get him killed..by me. Here's a theory I have. If something is wrong, and you can fix it, or at least make it more tolerable, and you CHOOSE not to do anything, then you don't get to complain about it. Such as, if you're sick, and you CHOOSE not to go to the dotor or take medicine, then you don't get to complain about said sickness. Which is why, when Im sick, i go to the doctor and take medicine cause I wanna get to complain about it. So, Evan starts feeling sick last Saturday (as in SIX days ago) and goes to work out on Monday and get sick. Now to my knowledge, he went home and then took off Tuesday and Wednesday. Not so much, he worked on Monday (which I learned from his sister) and he went to work yesterday (and to the gym and consequently overdid it). So today, he calls me and tells me he is going to the gym because he has the ISP exam tomorrow morning and that he isn't going into work because the doctor said he has a severe sinus infection and the flu. As it turns out, he lied and did go into work. Now, I don't care if he wants to go to work on his deathbed, thats fine with me. But dont f*cking LIE to me about it!!!! So we talked about, reading of the riot act ensued and he apologized, which I let him know doesn't make lying okay. It's not about him going to work, it's about him feeling like he needs to lie about things that are going on. Why lie about something so dumb as work?! He knows I have trust issues and him lying about something dumb makes me question whether he is lying about big sh*t. Ughh that just makes me crazy. So I had to email his sister (commonly referred to as almost-sista) and vent. And she understood and agreed so at leas I know Im not the crazazy one.
Okay, thats all for now. Well it's not, but the Papa Murphys pizza is done and I.Am.Starving
