insurance anyone?

Term life insurance is insurance that only lasts for a set period of time. It is generally supposed to be lowcost but I don’t really understand the point of it. When I think of LIFE insurance, I think of insurance on your LIFE, not just a few years of your life. I guess it could be useful for your children or something like that, insure them while they’re young and once they’re old enough they can do it themselves.

I am very tired today, even though I fell asleep around 10:30 and got up at 9am. I think I must’ve got too much sleep, unlike the night before where I got not even close to enough. Bleh.

My brother the skinny minny

When I was little my brother weighed 120 lbs. When I was not so little, my brother weighed 120 lbs. I believe at probably 15 I surpassed my brother on the scale (I was a little tubby okay, back down to 122 now, tho :P ). Anyway, he HATED being skinny, and I remembered he used bodybuilding supplements in the form of one of those weight gain shakes in attempts to get some meat on his bones.

I don’t think they worked, but I was always a little envious. It’s like, how cool would that be to TRY to gain weight, and still fail?

bigger and better

There are sooo many condos for sale here in Nashville. I don’t know if owning a condo is the new hip thing to do or what, but those things are popping up everywhere. They’re tearing down cool shops and restaurants to put condos in their place, and I don’t really think that’s cool.

I personalaly wouldn’t want a condo because I like the idea of having a nice big yard and not sharing walls with anyone. If I wanted to live like that I would just stay in an apartment.

I’m always hurting myself

Last night while I was moving furniture, my thumb got stuck inbetween the love seat and the door frame. It hurt so bad I had to put the love seat on hold and do one of those dances where you try to force the pain out of your body by doing something stupid because it hurts so bad.

My thumb hasn’t started to turn colors, but I can see a mark on the nail where it got squashed, and even today it still really hurts. I hope something nasty doesn’t happen – like my thumbnail fall off. That would just be gross, and painful. Why am I such a clutz?

Photobucket

Does anyone else hate photobucket?

I used to love this website, I thought it was great back before they added the video uploading feature and tried to make it all fancy shmancy. I don’t know if it’s just me, but when I try to visit and use this website on my computer (running mac os x tiger/firefox browser) it runs like complete SHIT. Generally after I get my image uploaded, it freezes up my whole browser and I can’t even get to the url of the image, which is the whole reason I use photobucket.

I don’t know if there is some setting I can change, or if I’m missing a plugin or what the issue could be but it is so irritating. I must scour the internet to see if I can find a site that I like equally as much so that I can move on from photobucket. I have a pro flickr account, but I don’t want to upload just anything to my flickr account. I used photobucket for mostly random crap…

Screw you photobucket!

Respect thy… phone answerer.

The thing I dislike most about my job would definitely have to be the fact that I answer the phone. It isn’t exactly my specific duty – but it seems like if I don’t answer, a majority of the time it doesn’t get answered. It’s really not that huge of a deal, but on days like today it really starts to drive me nuts. I am not sure why as soon as I hang up it’s ringing again.

I’m not that much of a people person either, I mean I have good qualities – I’m super nice, polite, and soft spoken yet there’s always someone who calls and wants to get pissed off that OMG! The person they were calling for is in another call. It’s like get over it dude, just leave a voicemail or GASP! Call back!

I definitely wouldn’t mind having to answer the phone if everyone were as nice to me as I am to them.

Carpet Cleaning

Time is going so slow. The big huge design crunch/magazine production is overwith at work, so doing nothing equals being bored. Two and a half more hours to go and I’m freeee. I’m still excited to be getting off at my normal time! I hardly have anything planned, of course. I think I might run by Walmart today to rent a steam cleaner, depending how my carpet looks. After giving my Hoover (that’s most likely older than I am) a go, I decided that it’s not quite as clean as I’d like. The damn thing doesn’t even “steam” I don’t know if it’s technically called a steam cleaner. But whatever, my sister said to go to Walmart so I’m gonna.
