Life with the Two Crazy Dogs

Am I glad this paper is done.  This final paper needs to be 8-11 pages and should consists of 1/3 from textbook readings, 1/3 project work, 1/3 class lectures, and 1/3 video summaries.  I think I got all in.  I had a jump start on this paper on Sunday night but didn’t really get it going til Monday night.  I am, according to my colleague, a typical college student, always work on their papers at the very last minute.  For the past couple of nights I didn’t get to bed til 11 p.m. and the beautiful zits are popping all over my face.  I never had that many for the longest time.  No problem, at least I got the paper done last night, busting my butt to summarize the chapters I was suppose to read.  In other words, I’m bullshitting my way around.  I’m just glad that the instructor wanted his students to write about our work experience in the business world.  I was able to write 10.5 pages of BS last night.  Sorry, Simmie, I had to cut you off from our conversation.

What am I suppose to do tonight since all I need to do is to drop the paper off at school and come home?  Watch DVDs!!!  I have 11 movies on queue at Blockbuster online.  I have already initiated them to mail two movies last night while working on my paper.  Obviously my mind was not totally focusing on my paper.  Frankly, I lost interest in this class.  My colleague who is sorta my mentor, who I call Ms MBA, said summer classes will do that to students. 

August 1 is officially the last day of class.  That is the day we students have to go to class and get our grades.  Final papers will remain with the instructor for good as they will go to the dean of the business faculty.

Yippy-ka-yah!! Classes are almost over, and so is summer!!!

The boys, my furry alarm clocks.  During the weekends or on my days off in the week, they will come sit next to the bed, their face staring right onto mine.

This is practically what I see when I opened my eyes.

And…..beg for food.

What a life….

On another note, Cooper has been limping for couple of months now.  When we took him in to see the vet for their annual, he was doing fine….limpless.  Four months later, he is limping.  We suspect hip dsyplasia, very common for Labs.  He doesn’t seem to be in pain coz if he is in pain, he will be whining, coz he is a whiner since we brought him home 7+ years ago.  I have been giving him his glucosamine twice a day, looks like it’s helping a little, but this dog loves to play with his frisbee.  I will throw or sometimes he will just pick up the frisbee on his own and shake the frisbee like a ragdoll while doing the “rodeo”.  He thinks he is a bull :) 

Ranger’s itching is better since we pumped him with pred since late February with smaller dosage till spring came in full force, we increased his dosage to 10 mg/day.  He now has a mind of his own when he’s on steroids.  We tried reducing his dosage to give his body a break, but he was itching up a storm.  We did let him itch for a few days, and he was just miserable.  He would look at us with those puppy eyes, ”What did you guys did to me?” We put him back on 10 mg a day and he’s a happy camper, however, we need to watch for signs of Cushing disease, very common for dogs on steroids. 

I am a person who like to share files with my friends and family.  My files consists of pictures, professional written letters on their behalf, music files and between hubby and I, our personal financial stuff.  Think about it, some of these picture and music files are huge in size and take a long time to send the email across.  A great way to share them hassle free is via online file sharing. 

Driveway is a unique free web base service for online file sharing.  It has a desktop widget which allows you to edit your files on one click, unlike the old ways where you have to save the document to your computer and email to your recipient.  Driveway saves time and it’s free.  You can upload multiple files at a time and what is nice is it allows up to 500MB per file.  Very neat and slick.

I was busy chatting online with Simmie this morning and all of a sudden, my Gmail inbox total mail changed to a different digit.  Well, lets see who sent me what.  The subject on the emai was Hello fren…  Mhmm, I thought it was spam but then I saw the sender.  Hey that’s my friend back from Standard One, I think?

It turned out Mommy to Little Chumsy is my friend’s sister.  I just had nothing to do one evening and registered with MyBlogLog.  I think saw it at Simple America’s blog.  I didn’t even notice that Mom to Little Chumsy has that banner (I think that’s what you called it?) on her blog to see who last visited her blog.  My friend saw my pic out there and bingo, she found me, just like that.

Out of the topic, I wanted to put the MyBlogLog on my blog but there were no instructions for WP users on how to add the script to my blog, or I’m just not techie enough to figure it out.   So, I will have to go the old fashion way: login to MyBlogLog and view from there.

Anyways, nice to hear from you, my fren!

We had our team presentation last night.  What a disaster that was.  I think of all the team presentations that I have done since I started college, this was the worse team presentation ever.  That team member who has not done any of his homework yet, nor the preparation for the presentation and said he wants an “A” for this class, made our team presentation so tacky with pieces of papers falling off the board.  It was embarrassing.  I wanted to dig a deep hole and hide in there for the duration of the presentation.  If I have known he was going to put up pieces of paper on the board, I would have made up PowerPoint slides.

After the presentation, the team members were given the opportunity to critic the team and, of course, I bombard my frustrations on that team member.  The other team member did the same.  I really hope I get an “A”, and that’s all it matters, a “B” is the minimum.

….. your boss does not like your appearance?

….. your boss does not like the way you walk?

….. your boss thinks you walk too slow?

….. your boss does not like you as a person?

….. your boss does not like the way you talk?

…. your boss does not like the way you schedule appointments?

….. your boss does not like how you perform your job? 

…. your boss finds any minute faults to stir up some good shit to burn your ass?

….. your boss keeps writing you up for the above?  Not once, but twice.

….. your boss wants to control your every movement?

Why don’t the boss just say it out loud - “I don’t like you.” 

That boss is asking for trouble.  Did he go over the papers with HR before he wrote you up?  I don’t think so.  Because if he did, HR would have caught a lot of the above.  They are great ingredients for a good lawsuit case.  Hostile environment, race discrimination, American Disability Act and there are a few more which I will leave it for now.

My answer to all of the above is go the Dept of Human Rights!!  File a lawsuit against that stinky B.Oed. scumbag, and make the company pay. 

Another night of restless sleep.

I have found a new advertiser where I can blog for money.  It is call Smorty.  Smorty is a place where bloggers like me can write about the opinion of a product.  Before I started blogging I was wondering how I can increase my chances on how to get paid for blogging.  A fellow blogger told me about Smorty and I am glad I signed up with this network.  It is a place where you place your blog advertising for the advertiser in writing.  Before I started to blog for money, I was quite skeptical if I can really write for an advertiser, however after writing a few posts, I gained my confidence and seeing the money rolling in to my bank account was the booster. 

Our home need some nice wall decor. Since we moved in a year ago, we had some pictures up on the walls, but the dining room needs a mirror. Online Discount Mart has all the wall decor essential I need.  What’s more, there is a summer savings of 10% discount when you purchase items from them and that is for all orders.  I saw a Family Dog Wall Plaque that says “Dog: The Only Family Member you Can Choose“.  I think I am going to get that piece and put it next to the pictures of the two crazy boys.
