conversation in the car

Stopped at a light after some guy tried to cut in front of us and is now behind us; after flipping us off, of course

Alie: What are you thinking about?

Tyler: Nothing

Alie: ...

Tyler: Well, I was just thinking about trying to make the guy behind us more mad.

Alie: How?

Tyler: After the light turns green, just sitting and waiting for a second before I start driving. But I won't.

Alie: That's awesome cause my first reaction was, "Yeah, do it! It'll be funny". And you should always do opposite of my first reaction, because I am the devil.

Tyler: Whatever.

Alie: Seriously. Why do you think I married you? You are my ticket into Heaven.

i get annoyed with my job

But no longer will I get annoyed with my job! April 8th. That's the day I resigned from my crap job. In the middle of a recession I decided I couldn't handle this work environment anymore. Crazy? Oh well.

When I turned in my resignation, Jabba the Hut asked me to stay for a month to get everything set up for my replacement. Seriously? A month. I quit for a reason, crazy. I figured I could be gracious and settle with 3 weeks. Plenty of time to get everything squared away.

It's been quite a change for me, knowing that I'm not going to have a job. Especially that I'm not going to have this job. I can feel a huge difference physically, I didn't realize how deeply working there has affected me. I can feel myself returning to the happier person I was once, before I ever took up employment in this scam of a business.

So what plans for the future? Most definitely I am taking some time off to regroup and detox. The husband has been beyond supportive of this whole nightmare, what a lucky girl I am.

We've done some major work on the house after Christmas and want to show off our awesomeness! We laid laminate floors in the living and dining rooms, painted, and bought a new fridge yesterday. Thank you, tax return!
