I've only had the latest design for my blog for a few months and already I have the itch to change it. It's been growing for about a month now and getting itchier by the day. I don't want to replace the design I currently have because I love it. I truly do. I took the skins menu off my site about a month ago because some of my other skins were not supporting the image sizes that I can fit on my current one, but I do have a handful of different skins behind the scenes. Perhaps I could put the skins menu back up and just have two options: the cafe girl skin I currently have and the new one that is incessantly itching to be created and installed. Oh, the work and worry that goes into maintaining a website. It's never ending...   and I love it.

I'm sitting here at work - blah - but I'm having a great time listening to my supervisor give an extremely rude client an earful. I've never heard her do that before. Probably because supervisor's don't take many calls around here. We have a specific "assist line" for people who get to talk to a "problem resolution specialist" unless they insist on speaking to a supervisor or manager. This is the BEST Saturday I've had to work just because I got to hear her lay into a very deserving customer in the most eloquent manner. I need to learn how to be more like that. I tend to be snotty and I've really been trying not to be.

What are your irrational fears? 
Submitted by Dan Culhane.  

I'm afraid of spiders, centipedes, any creepy crawlers really. Oh, and bees, wasps, hornets, etc.. I've never been stung and I am deathly afraid. And seaweed. I'm afraid of seaweed. Dumb, I know, but it creeps me out when it touches me in the water.

Did I mention how much I hate working on Saturday? I believe I did, but let me just assure you.. I despise it. It's not even 8am and I'm sitting at my desk dreading the first phone call. Sure, I only have to do it once every three weeks, but it feels like that week comes too quickly. Blah. I'd much rather be at home sleeping or hanging out with my family.

I watched part of the Barbara Walters special, The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2007, last night. The fellas that own MySpace were being interviewed when I turned it on. It totally amazed me how many millions of dollars those two people are worth. I don't go near MySpace. It's not my cup of tea. There's too much "bad" to weed through, in my opinion. I've seen other people on it and what kind of crap is posted on there. I'm not interested in that. Sure, if there is a band I like and I can't find them or their music anywhere else on the web (which is not likely) then I might wander over there, but 99.9% of the time I keep my distance.

I didn't realize how many "important" people have their own MySpace page though until watching it on television. I knew there were regular folks like you and me, bands, things and people along those lines, but I had no idea that the presidential candidates and other people who consider themselves important have their own MySpace page. That's insane. And now... Barbara Walters has her own MySpace page set up for her by the fellas that own it.

Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Latte is so scrumptious I can't get it out of my mind. I wish there was a Starbucks inside of the building I work because I would be able to get one right now. It's a shame that they're a seasonal item at Starbucks because I would drink this yummy treat year round. If you like coffee.. I highly recommend you try this!

Most people are shouting out T.G.I.F. all over the blogosphere. Not me. I have to be at work early tomorrow. I hate working on Saturday. It ruins my weekend. How dare they ask me to give up a day of sleeping in and being lazy once a month?

 

The Passion of the Christ (Widescreen Edition)

 

The Passion of the Christ literally changed my life. After seeing this movie I ran back to my Catholic faith. It made me realize that "doing my own thing" for so many years was not what I was supposed to be doing.
