The bottom

I am finally at home. A beer in my belly (Nick's Liquid Courage is what I called this unlabelled and homebrewed bottle of love). Dinner in my stomach as well. It's been a very long day. I taught a class, I gave three, count 'em three, presentations, and had to tell some kids if they couldn't shut it, it was time to leave.

I'm tired, but before I got home, I went to Whole Foods to pick up some grub for Husbandido, who is still passed out from the heat (from Sac, and he calls this hot? bitch please). I put his beef jerky and olives away. Maybe he'll remember this in the morning.

I am at the point at which I feel like I'm exhausted and over with all the running back and forth. I need to stop saying yes all the time. Part of the challenge is knowing that someone stepped up to me and wants me to do something for them. How hard is it to turn down the opportunity to be the expert, right? Well, this expert (did I tell you it was another department calling me in to do my spiel? Not my own? This is why I'm hot, thank you.) is exhausted. I found myself for the first time getting really red eyes that were tearing up so bad by the end of my last speech that it looked like I was crying. Horrible.

I am going to be better at it, I promise. It's a matter of my health that I'm worried about too. Pushing myself can't be healthy, right? I'm sure it's not helping me bring bambinos in the world. I'll save that for another post.

Wish me luck,

Mission Unaccomplished: Still Gainfully Employed

I got the phone call today from the JuCo...no love. I swear. I think this is God's way of telling me that I might want to consider sticking around for a bit.

I'm willing to suck it up. Really. I thought about good I have it, then thought about the parts that I was unhappy with, and instead of fighting it I was going to rule. And wait for something good to come around. I am a little heart broken, but I can't help but be okay. I mean, I have a job, right?

At any rate, I am off to do some work in the employment department and try to get out there a little early tomorrow for a job fair. Wish me luck. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. One of the schools is located in Paris. Heh.

Gadgets and Me. And You too, admit it.

You know I love gadgets. I so LOVE gadgets. It's my downfall, I swear to you. So I'm glad to found this... from Consumerist, one of my fave pages on my trusty Google Reader app:

Stop buying this crap. Just stop it. You don't need it. Wait a year until the reviews come out and the other suckers too addicted to having the very latest and greatest buy it, put up a review, and have moved on to something else. Stop buying broken products and then shrugging your shoulders when it doesn't do what it is supposed to. Stop buying products that serve any other master than you. Use older stuff that works. Make it yourself. Only buy new stuff from companies that have proven themselves good servants of their customers in the past. Complaining online about this stuff helps, but really, just stop buying it.

Okay. You win.

I started taking this Financial Management class because I'm a freakin' SCRUB when I do money things, and well, it's about time, dammit.

That is all.

Let's End the Year by Saying Filipinos Are A Special People or WTF

Filipina maid performs sorcery on two-year-old

KUWAIT: A Kuwaiti grandmother of a two-year-old child heard the infant crying incessantly on the upper floor of the house and decided to check it out. What she saw seemed something straight out of a horror movie. The Filipina maid was completely nude and she had also taken off the baby's clothes inside the bathroom. Then she started pouring a concoction of a liquid mixed with flies and crickets over the baby. When the horrified grandmother asked her what she was doing, the maid replied that she specialised in sorcery and witchcraft, and the liquid was meant to make the baby love her forever. The grandmother told police that the child's mother was unable to take care of her as she had recently delivered a baby, which is why she had entrusted the maid to take care of her. The grandmother then told her second son of the ritual as the child's father was away performing Haj. The son immediately registered a complaint with police. The case is under investigation.
