This is so unfair!!! I am so freaking hungry right now, but I can't taste my food. I went to the dentist today and he numb my mouth, but that was 3 1/2 hours ago!!! I so mad!!!
I finished eating my burger, fries and part of my lower lip...(LOL). Yes, I said lip. It wasn't tasty at all. As a matter of fact, I couldn't feel any thing, which is why I ended up knawing some of the
skin off my lower lip as I was eating my burger.
The dentist did an excellent job of numbing my mouth, too good of a job if you ask me, because it took 7 hours for the numbness to wear off. The damage to my lip is not too bad, luckily its on the inside where only I can see.

I must apologize for my behavior in class this evening. It clearly states in our syllabus that texting is not allowed. Well, I did text, but in my defense I blame our wonderful instructor. Yes, I blame you Mandy!
Every week in class we cover something that just gets my mind to racing. I'm like, "ooh, I can apply this concept there, or I can apply this tactic here, etc., etc. Well, tonight was no different, however, this time I could not wait. I texted my niece, who is planning an event for a few hundred people and I asked her if she had considered a few things--things that Mandy was covering in class tonight. I would have felt personally responsible if my neice had an unsuccessful event because I had some information that may have helped her but failed to share it with her because I forgot!
So, my neice and I exchanged a few emails and I feel better knowing that I shared what I learned in class.
You rock Mandy!

I apologize Microsoft, but only a little...LOL
Ok, I found the solution to my problem and it took less than 2 minutes to search Microsoft's website, select the result I thought was closest to my issue, read the solution and follow the directions.
I'm sorry, because the feature I was ranting and raving about not being an easy find was right in front of my face the entire time. HOWEVER, in my defense I will say although it was there, they changed the wording so it didn't stand out to me when I looked for 3 days!
Yes, I do feel a little bad about my post, but it still doesn't take away the frustration I felt for 3 days, so I call it even. At least I was able to vent and de-stress.

I am so frustrated right now!!!!
I recently upgraded to Microsoft Office 2007 and I hate it!!! I hate it because you have to re-learn things you already know or they change some features/functionality!
For example, "Freezing Panes" in Excel. Before I could select the cell where I wanted the panes to be frozen, so that as I am scrolling through the spreadsheet the headers (labels) at the top and the columns to the left don't move. This feature is very helpful because it keeps you from scrolling back to see what information your looking at.
I'm in Personnel, so my data is people; names, employee numbers, titles, etc. In this particular spreadsheet, I need to freeze the 1st 4 columns on the left HOWEVER, in the newever version of Excel it only freezes the first column. My first column is the employee number, I can't identify who I'm looking at by the number, so my option would be to move my columns so that the last name is the first column. Well, this doesn't help. Why? We have employees with the same last name. So, I'm back to square one trying to figure out which employee I'm looking at. So, when you're working with a large spreadsheet this can be frustrating---scrolling back and forth. I don't know how many times I've scrolled back only to forget the data I was looking at originally. So, I scroll back, try to remember the number in my head, and scroll back to the front section--UGH!!!
So, let me stop complaining and start looking through Microsoft's website to determine if there is a solution to this. I'm sure there is, but this is a part of my frustration....why change these features that have been common with all versions of Excel, only to have to go hunt for the solution. I just need to calm down long enough to find the fix, but then I start thinking about the other features that are no longer a simple task, but a long drawn out process of many steps.
Wish me luck!

It's a Brand New Day-- So, Why Do I Feel the Same as Yesterday?
Before I stepped foot out of bed, I promised myself that today would be a new day. I had that gut feeling that today would be a new day. Well, it is now 8:17 AM and today is not a new day. Why isn't it a new day? Because I'm struggling with IDONTWANNABEATWORKITIS. I've been affected with this bug for 3 days now. Perhaps I should schedule an appointment with my doctor.
This bug could be deadly. For example, yesterday I spent a good portion of time contemplating playing the lottery. If only I could win the lottery. If only I would win the lottery, I kept chanting. Then I could do as I please. I confided in a dear friend with my struggles, but he told me winning the lottery would not solve my problems. "On the contrary!" I said. I know myself well enough that I would not go overboard with my spending if I would come into a lot of money. I'm a financially responsible person. I'm so financially responsible, that I didn't play lottery last night, even though the Powerball Jackpot was $96 Million. Why? Losing my money gambling is not being a good steward. Let me give you some other examples:
I went to the casino with my younger sister. My intentions were to have lunch with her and just enjoy our time together. I talked as she put her money in the slot and pressed the button. (on a side note, I think they took the fun out of pulling the handle and hearing the coins clink clink clink if you did win any thing). Well, I guess she got tired of me just standing there, so she handed me two $1 dollar bills and told me to play. I held the money in my hand and thought to myself, "I can put these two dollars in my pocket and be ahead" but then I knew that wasn't right, if I was going to do that, I should give my sister back her money. So, I figured she was going to play the $2 dollars regardless so I might as well do it. I put the money in the slot machine and just started pushing buttons and lo and behold, it's flashing and the counter is moving fast. I WON! I was so excited. I exclaimed, "I'M CASHING OUT!" My sister and her friend were excited for me and waited anxiously to find out how much I won. $8 DOLLARS! I said with excitement. Her friend asked me if I was serious. "Yes!" as I clapped my hands with joy. I took my ticket to the redemption machine, gave my sister back the $2 dollars she gave me and pocketed the remaining $6 dollars. It wasn't a lot of money, but I could say that I was $6 dollars richer that day.
So, you see, if I were to win the lottery I think I wouldn't succumb to the "lottery curse." I would manage my money well enough that I could take an extended leave of absence from my work. But until that day comes, I guess I better get my head out of the clouds and do some work!
