THE PAST 2 AND 1/2 DAYS HAVE BEEN BUSY AT WORK. WHAT I MEAN BY BUSY IS, BY DOING PROJECTS! ON MONDAY I PULLED THE REPORT FOR US TO DO OUR JEWELRY RECALLS. I TOOK ONE BATCH AND OF COURSE W/O LOOKING, IT WAS THE BIGGEST RECALL! 221 ITEMS W/ OVER A RETAIL PRICE OF $225K THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE OTHER REPORTS THAT THE OTHER PEEPS WERE WORKING ON. THEN WE DISCOVERED THAT OUR HOME OFFICE HAS A LIMIT OF EACH RECALL TRANSFER CANNOT EXCEED $50K. SO WHY THE HELL DON'T THEY SPLIT THE RECALLS UP INTO SMALLER ONES. NOT TO MENTION THAT AS WE ENTER THEM INTO THE COMPUTER THAT THERE IS A QUANTITY LIMIT OF 55 PIECES TO EACH RECALL. GRRR. I TOTALLY THINK THAT THESE "PROGRAMMERS, MARKETERS, OPERATIONS, TRANSIT FOLK" THAT WORK IN THE CORPORATE OFFICE SHOULD HAVE TO WORK MANDATORY 6 MONTHS IN THE RETAIL STORE BEFORE GETTING TO BE THE BIG WIG IN HOME OFFICE! GOOD FUCKING GRIEF CHARLIE BROWN. I ALWAYS SAY AROUND THE STORE "DAMN THOSE UNIVERSITY GRADS!" I REALLY MEAN IT.

WELL TOMORROW I HAVE A NEW PATIENT EXAM WITH A NEW DENTIST. I CHANGED MY DENTAL PLAN TO PPO INSTEAD OF DMO. I TRULY HATE WILLAMETTE DENTAL!!!!!! ASSHOLES. THEY COULDN'T EVEN BILL TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY CORRECTLY! ANYHOO, SO WE'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES. THEN I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE VETERINARIAN IN RICHLAND FOR SHELBY. I THINK SHE MAY HAVE EAR MITES. YUCK. I HAVE BEEN CLEANING HER EARS FOR OVER TWO MONTHS AND THAT IS USUALLY ABOUT 2-3X A WEEK AND ON THE Q-TIP IS NASTY BLACK GOOP AND WAX. WELL JUST FOR THE PAST WEEK, SHE HAS BEEN DIGGING AT HER EARS AND HOWLING. NOT "IN-HEAT HOWLING" BUT HOWLING AS IN "ANNOYING SOMETHING IN HER EAR." POOR BABY. SO, JUST TAKE MY KITTY IN AND GET HER EVALUATED. THE NEXT TRIP FOR HER WILL TO BE SPAYED!I GAVE BOTH CATS A BATH TWO DAYS AGO.

I AM SO TRYING TO GET MOTIVATED ON DOING MY PHOTO ALBUM AND TO CLEAR OFF OUR DESK. HUBBY HAS A HABIT OF SHOVING PAPERS ON THE INBOX FILE BUT NEVER LEND A HAND FILING! I HAVE COMPLETED THE TASK OF WRITING EVERYTHING FURNITURE RELATED IN OUR HOMEOWNER JOURNAL. NOW I JUST NEED TO TAKE THE PHOTOGRAPHS FOR DOCUMENTATION, AND SUBMIT TO THE INSURANCE AGENT. I ALSO NEED TO ADD ON OUR POLICY THE SHED WE HAD BUILT IN OCTOBER.

I'M HOPING THAT THE WEATHER WILL BE NICE ENOUGH TO GO FOR A WALK SOON. I DO NEED TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO GET SOME EXERCISE IN. I AM ALSO HOPING THAT OUR TAXES WILL PRODUCE A REFUND THIS YEAR. I NEED TO SOCK AWAY SOME MONEY FOR MY TRIP TO VEGAS WITH MY SISTER, AND SOME MUCH NEEDED BILLS TO PAY OFF. I ASKED MY HUBBY WHAT HE WANTED FOR HIS BDAY/VALENTINE'S DAY. HE SAID HE'D RATHER GO TO PORTLAND AND GO SHOPPING. BASICALLY A LITTLE ROAD TRIP. HE DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING IN PETICULAR. I ASKED HIM IF I COULD BUY HIM THE MOVADO WATCH HE'D BEEN DROOLING OVER THE PAST 2 YRS. HE SAID NO. I WAS SHOCKED. HE'S NOT VERY MATERIALISTIC. WELL THAT'S OK. WHAT HE'S NOT, I AM! I LOVE "THINGS!" WELL, NOT MUCH ELSE TO WRITE ABOUT. BYE FOR NOW.
