Friday Wrap up

Hello there!

This week I have been just silly about joining sites that will let me try new products at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I have been getting things slowly and practicing my review skills, but now I'm taking the big plunge and getting more serious.

In the coming days I will share some links of where to go to review, but for now, check out what I'm review this week!

 

I will let you know how they work!

Where did she go and why is she not in the handbasket?

Hi there!   Well so...uh... yeah.  I have been on an Odyssey  of sorts and have not been a good blogger at all.   I really didn't know what to do!

I think I may have a better idea and since no one is watching this one.  I'm going to try my hand at a few things.

First of all, I'm learning about blogging, so I'm going to practice here.

And I'm really having an awesome time  trying new products and reviewing them on Amazon, but I thought I would try reviewing them here to see how I do.   I would love to some day soon consider myself an "INFLUENCER"! Yeah!


So wish me luck! 

Where the heck has she been for 2 years?

Well... that's pretty simple... I have NOT been blogging!  In fact, I lost my login info for *All* my blogs!  Yes, I said all because I have "started" more than one blog and haven't kept up with any.... so lame.

So, I'm going to experiment for a  few weeks with each and then decide which one I like te best!

The look of this one may change several times as I decide wat I'm going to... but no one is reading this yet.

What is going on?

Trying to figure out why I can't post comments on other blogs...

"Help" files are not helpful...

Um...yeah...

So... um.. this is the deal. I forgot where this blog was located. (and like a goof didn't have it bookmarked) And then I found it, but didn't remember the password!

So since I have been away from this blog, a lot has gone on...

First in February I was laid off from my job. No suprise there, I had made an effort of getting off the team I was on and was refused. They basically hated me after that and I was nit picked to death on my QA's to the point where it finally made it look like I couldn't do my job well. Hello? How much brains does it really take to sit and listen to people yell at you because they want something free? Seriously! So goodbye to a crap job... hello to unemployment. I got a fairly decent severance package, so whatever.

Me and Mr. Perfect were planning to get married this year in July! But with me and no job and COBRA costing WAAAAY too much money, he suggested that we get married earlier. Bless him!

And so we did!

I'll post more a little later, I hope... gotta remember to book mark this thing!

So not in the habit...

I'm just not in the blog habit! I keep forgetting that it's here!

So... let's see. I went back to work on Oct 8th. It took me nearly 3 weeks to get my rhythym back. Oh and get this, I got back the 8th, right? That was a wednesday....by Saturday I was feeling kinda gross...but Sunday night, I had a fever. The fever didn't break until sometime Tuesday. Needless to say I didn't go to work Monday and Tuesday. I came back to a verbal warning that I could get written up if I missed any more days and did not have the sick time to cover them. They ended up making me used 2 days of vacation. pfft.

Then two weeks ago, I slipped on some frost in my driveway, fell flat on my back and during the fall slammed my head against the bumper of my other car and my earring was ripped out. I stayed my ass home that day. Well... guess what? That's right, I got written up! The day I came back from Thanksgiving no less.

So NOW the call center is very slow and they are begging to take days off... AND allowing you to do them unpaid if you want. Heh... I totally went through my budget to figure out how many I could take. I may not be happy with my paycheck on Friday, but I don't care. Well...I sort of don't care...LOL

I need to just keep my head down and muddle through the next few months and see what's going to happen with that company.... bah!

Back to work

Wow... I obviously got very preoccupied and neglected my blog which I thought I would be SO good about keeping up... bah!

Since my last post I have actually had surgery for my HS. That was an interesting journey... I got talk to a surgeon who belabored the point that I needed keep up on my hygiene! WHAT?!! you dumbass, I have HS! Which causes boils that drain constantly...those constantly draining boils drain puss that smells putrid! Good Lord, don't you think I KNOW about hygiene? Hell, I'm afraid to stand close to people because I never know when something is going to drain and that awful smell with waft up from me! I didn't go to see my Chiropractor for 6 months, much to my OWN demise because a boil broke during an adjustment and I smelled horrible and was SO embarrassed! And this jerk lectures me about hygiene.... grrr!

At any rate, after hearing how the surgery will not CURE my HS, he agreed to do it. It was done on August 28th. The surgeon said that it was going to be a 8-10 week healing period because HS heals slowly.... yeah well 4 weeks later he is telling me that I can go back to work! lol Dumbass!

I'm fast healer! I TOLD him that I was fast healer, he said that due to my age and my obesity, not to expect to heal quickly. mmhmm...whatever!

So now I'm back to work on October 8th. Yuck! I really should be glad that I have a job and I keep telling myself that. The job market is tough on fat black women who have not let themselves reach their full potential. I know that... gosh do I KNOW that! Even where I work... supposedly the last bastion of touchy feely work environments that "celebrate" all workers, I am treated like an idiot and looked at with hateful/mocking eyes from these young, white male jerks who are so full of thier own hype, no one exists in their worlds. All I can say is that I'm tired.

Corporate America is not a friendly place and I'm afraid that I just don't have the fight in me that I used to have. I'm tired of the double standards, the emotional bullying and people hiding behind "policy" to discount and ignore people just trying to do their jobs well.

I just don't know where I belong anymore... it's so sad...
