Putting stuff off

It’s not secret about how much I love calendars and organizers. I have a color for each bill date, for school projects and even birthdays and paydays. I am so silly about it. I have a Google Calendar, an organizer for school/bills and one just for my bedroom. πŸ˜€ Does that make me a dork? I am so scared I am going to forget a bill or something like that. As many places as I keep it written down you wouldn’t think I would but sometimes it happens. Normally it is either the trash bill or something like that. Nothing major like elector or water. Hehe. But I am sure I would if I didn’t have it all written down all the different places. I even have my Google Calendar synced with my phone. See where I am going with this.

But I don’t think I could live without these things. I have to have everything organized. I think it goes back to the way my mother did things, which is lets leave all the bills in the truck and let them stack up until I think I should pay them, not when they are due. She pays her bills but because she hoards them back they are always late. Normally she forgets the cable bill which has lead to them not even having cable anymore because she let it go so long. She always ends up paying more for things due to the fact she just won’t call to handle them. It’s a very ugly cycle. I hate it.

Kyle says I’m bad about putting stuff off when it comes to calling about information. This is kind of true. I hate hate hate being on hold or waiting to talk to customer service. I think this is because I use to work customer service. I know how the people feel on the other end of the phone. Which makes me be way nicer and sometimes not being rude when it calls for it. Being rude is normally the only way some companies will get done what you need to get done. You know? I hate to say that too.

Server Switch

I am in the middle of a server switch. I have everything working on this site but pictures but the pictures seem to be there. Very odd. Let me know if you can help. Thanks a ton.

[Edit] I’m having issues with images show up in blog entries now. If you check the image URL the image is there and loads but in entries I get a broken image. Everything else is working. Just wondering if anyone might have a clue on how to help! πŸ™‚Β

Update on life

So many things to talk about. Where do I start. . .umm. . .well, Oral Communications is going okay, not sure how I feel about it but it’s okay. I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either. I think I am doing okay in the class far as a grade but I really don’t know because I don’t have anything graded.

I am selling my netbook and my nook so I can buy a nook color. I am in the process of being without the netbook now. I kind of miss it but since summer started I have picked it up maybe twice. Not a big deal. Just something else to keep track of.

I had a job interview today at 1pm for ShopNBC. It is another call center but I am hoping it is different than AFNI. I know it does pay more. It starts out at $10.20 hourly + more if you have worked in a call center before. πŸ˜€ Which I have. They said they will call or send you a letter letting you know one way or the other. But I have good faith. My friend Lance that I worked with at AFNI is a trainer there and said he put in a really good word for me. *crosses fingers* He said he already put his approve on it. Which is awesome. It is 3:30 – Midnight. That works out great, I get out of class around 2:50pm during the fall. I am going to be tired but we could really use the money. I know it’s only part-time. All I really wanted anyway. Kyle’s check is enough to pay the bills so I don’t have to work but it doesn’t really leave anything extra for us. So, I want to help us out. I am truly looking forward to getting a paycheck again.

Well, I worked on a project for a friend already, I looked up school info for another friend that doesn’t have internet. I went shopping for groceries and had a job interview. I am tired.

PS: I also love the new dashboard for WP. Very nice. Random.

Goodnight world. Have a lovely night.

Job hunting

I have been job hunting for the last few weeks or so but I have really put it into over drive in the last few days. I want to find something before we run out of school money and don’t have anything to fall back on. Not that we are a few dollars of running out of money but it would be nice to not get that way. I enjoy not working but I am a big girl and I know I need too. On the plus side we don’t have rent or anything like that due to the fact I own my trailer. That helps a ton.

But the normal bills do get heavy at times, electric the last three months have been $225+, water which is around $25, cable/internet $83 a month and lot rent which is $75 a month. SO really are bills aren’t to bad. That doesn’t include mine or his cellphone since that is daily living bills or car insurance.

I know it will be hard to work part time and go to school full time but I do have Kyle now and that makes all the difference in the world. πŸ™‚ He is amazing about helping here. He does all the dishes and all the trash which includes the litter box. And I do laundry and vacuuming and what not. It’s a pretty even trade. He also will be taking care of the lawn this year. That in itself will totally be nice. πŸ˜€ I am so thankful I have him. It makes this life thing a little easier when you share some of the pains of life with someone.

Anyway, I need to do my other web page project for school. I already did my Database homework. Kyle is working on the Excel homework. Which sucks because the harder of the three. But like I said, we share in the pain of life and that includes school.

Chemical database

If anyone is reading my twitter account you would know I am writing my first real PHP script. I am doing pretty good.

I have the database set up. The form entering the data. A drop down / search box to display information. And just normal display results. I am so proud of myself.

I need to still make a real log in page and change how I want the info displayed. And I need to make a true search box.

Let me know if you would like to help. Any PHP help would be amazing. Since I am teaching myself.
