So, my neighbors baby is adorable. He's huge -11lbs, 8 ounces, and 20 inches. The only thing small about him are his ears.
I got a warning for getting "unapproved" overtime at work (I got the overtime last week), but I refused to sign the warning, because I can't help it if they don't send anyone to replace me when I'm the only one there, if I walk away I would be in much more trouble than getting overtime. So, guess what happened again today, after I had just talked about this with the supervisors, more overtime! The worst part of it, it was all because of three seconds! We're not supposed to run through the warehouse, especially in my shoes (safety shoes don't work on concrete XD), but I did anyways, and still got overtime, because, once again, I didn't have a get replaced soon enough. When I got to the time clock it read 19:00:53 (military time, 7:00:53 pm), but when my badge got scanned it read 19:01:03 <--see that, 4 darn seconds earlier and I would have been in the clear *grrr*.Well, then I had to log it down, talk to a manager, and get it approved. I could have been home in the time that took.
I can't wait for our department meeting next week, we have so much to talk about. I started a list, and a couple others have helped me to come up with everything we've always had questions about that never get answered. We really need everyone on the same page, and sometimes it seems like some people are in a whole different book.
Watched American Idol...I'm loving
The Phantom of the Opera songs, but I had to go through my playlist and dig up Angel of Music, definitely my favorite from The Phantom.
Speaking of music, I am nearly done getting all my music back onto my computer. XD It's been a challenge with mixed C.D.'s, only because I always label them wrong, and when I go through and lists the songs on the C.D., I have to listen to them all, so that I can order the songs properly.
I got another wedding invitation, and it's for October, also. A week after my best friend's wedding, thank goodness it isn't the same weekend. I may just wear my bride's maid dress(actually, a rather pretty dress) to the second wedding, and I won't even have to shorten it, since it's going to reach just below my knees. Why buy another dress when I'll already have cocktail attire? I've decided to take the whole week in between weddings off of work as vacation.
Friends' weddings make me feel old. Everyone is getting married so young, and not because they have to. I really hope all the marriages work out.
I just remembered this quote, I need to see if I can find it. It's something about how there is no completely right person for everyone, but there is a right wrong person...*goes in search of notebook, a red notebook* Found it!! Wow, anyone who looked through my journals of writing would know one of my favorite colors is red, so many red notebooks. Okay here's the quote:
"We are all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you've been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there's no right person, just different flavors of wrong.
"Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complimentary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your wrongness. It isn't until you finally run up against your deepest demons--your unresolvable problems--the ones that make you who you truly are--that you're ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then, do you finally know what you're looking for.
"You are looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the "right" wrong person--someone you lovingly gaze upon and think 'This is the problem I want to have'
"I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way."

When I first read this I found it very interesting, and had to write it down. I think it was in the opening quote to a book I read years ago. I really agree with that second to last paragraph about knowing when you find the right person, it's knowing that person's faults and accepting them that really makes a relationship, not that I have any personal experience in that department.
I guess it's on my mind not only because of these two, quickly approaching, weddings, but also because of the book and manga I've been reading, not to mention movie. Book =
The Jane Austen Book Club ...a good ready for any Jane Austen fans, which now has me referring to Jane Austen as Jane. Of course, I had to try and decide which member of the book club I am most like, and it's a close tie between Prudie and Jocelyn. Manga = Bitter Virgin, not something I would have gone to read(yes, b/c the title) had it not been recc'd by a friend, it's actually really good. Movie =
Becoming Jane ...what can I say, I'm on a Jane Austen kick. It's kind of sad to know Jane's own story didn't have the same kind of ending she gave her book, and I was all teary eyed at the end, I won't spoil it and say why, but so bittersweet.
Not to mention, the guy I've kind of got a crush on asked me when I was going to get married (and who the groom would be) while we were talking about life (I was telling him about my friends' weddings, and he was telling me about his friends' weddings). I just laughed it off, and said I was going to marry my job. I can be such a spazz, at least I didn't blush.
On to other things...anyone read D.Gray-Man? Awesome chapter, I can't wait for the next one when Cross tells all to the higher ups, or else he'll get to see Allen, and tell him everything. Another possibility is that Link is going to take Allen somewhere he shouldn't be going. Link showed up with Hitler-stache, so I'm a bit suspicious of him.

While I was looking through my red notebooks I found a bunch of ideas and startings of some original fiction:
-Father Time, Mother Earth, and their children, their four seasons...can't remember where it was going, but it's got some humor in it.
-Portraits of a Paper Clip - Love Story. A woman lost the man she loved during the WWII era when he had to flee to America, because he was caught while helping ferry Jewish people from Denmark to Norway, and after he escaped from the Nazi's he didn't have time to contact her, but he did buy and send her a ticket after he got to America. Unfortunately he didn't send the ticket in time, and she, after knowing he had left to America, left for America with her younger brother. She doesn't end up meeting him ever again, but marries and has children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. It's after her death that her great granddaughter finds out about this man. She finds out he is the founder of one of the most successful office supply business in the U.S., and sends him a letter. Eventually she meets this man's great grandson, and falls for him. (All planned out, just need to do some heavy research.)
-A Sci-Fi/Mystery Suspense influenced by A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Basically the Earth is destroyed, because another race of beings had been plotting to use it as a weapon, but just before the it is destroyed there are some select humans who are taken to another planet. Why? On on specific planet, some of it's inhabitants have the job of research. They go around collecting information on all other forms of life in the universe, and they had grown attached to their humans. It is up to these humans to carry on their past, and keep the human race from dying, but something on their new planet doesn't quite seem right.
Okay, I must go to sleep now, it's 1:30 am here.
Bleh, my internet provider changed the e-mail settings, it's ugly, and actually takes more time to load, because of the unnecessary features. DX *Wonders if I can change it back.*
