Hang in there, Angel, don't rule out the promotion just quite yet.  It's not over 'til it's over, so keep positive.  And if not, a rock 'n roll receptionist sounds kinda cool, and if it's not, then you'll make it cool, that's all  !

...So, did you say ol' scratch there is trying to impregnate big blonde lady??  *shivers*

Congrats on having your place back to yourselves!  Changing the locks my give you even more "security" that he won't be back uninvited.   8) 

Enjoy! 

   CONGRATULATIONS!!!   

Maybe the the leftover evil vibes from the daemon spawn's left-behind items that are making you in a wierd mood.  You need to cleanse your place of him, you'll have to get some sage bundles and do you entire apartment!  I'm so happy for you!   Just remember that good things happen in three's...so I'm sure that your new job position will be part of that, I'm sending my good vibes clear across the states for you!!!

Thanx, you guys. 

OMG Maggie, those jumping firebals...LOL!!

Went to Disneyland last night. It sucked. 
    First of all, we left way too late in the evening, and ended up pulling off of the freeway a few times to look for a place to eat. We finally had dinner at a Del Taco down the street from the park...saved $$ that way.
    My boyfriend got lost trying to find the parking structure, which is some distance away from the park and you must take a tram to get there & back.
    By the time we reached the main gates, the park was only going to be open for about another hour....and the lines were still like 3 miles long!!!!    Had to wait forever.
    Even though my favourite ride (the Haunted Mansion, duh) was closed, I was still excited to think of all the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff I would get from the Bat En Rouge. But after rummaging around in my purse, I was horrified to learn that I had accidentally left (or dropped) my wallet in the car! 
    My boyfriend said that I probably still had my debit card in my purse, though. So I looked...and I did!! I was so happy that I threw my arms around him & kissed him.
And then I realized that my ID was still in my wallet! My boyfriend said that if we tried to go back for it, the park would be closed by the time we returned. So I bought nothing. 
    We went on 1 measely ride (Pirates Of The Carribean) and saw the last 30 seconds of Fantasmic, and then left the park to wander Downtown Disney. I was finally able to pull him into Illuminations (candle store).    I showed him my favourite restaurants in that area, then we walked into the area between the Disneyland Hotel buildings.
    I led him down into the area he loved so much last time where giant waterfalls surround you with beautiful coloured lights flashing up onto them. He complained that all of that rushing water made him have to *ahem* [use the facilities]. 
    Then we went up to the koi ponds nearby. I love koi fish! We were leaning over the railings to look at them, and I was going on & on about how cute they were, when from out of nowhere, my boyfriend said, "You know they'll eat your spit."
Taken aback, I said, "WHAT?!"
    And then, he hocked a loogie right into the koi pond!!!!!!!!  .......and they ate it!!!!!!!!!  I was horrified, and exclaimed "That is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen!" (even though it probably wasn't)
    He just shrugged & said, "Told ya."

We left soon after that, and of course, I had to drive the 2 hours home.    My mind, body and nerves are hardwired against falling asleep at the wheel. It's impossible for me to do. But I had to fight off the urge all the same. It was about 12:30 am when we finally got to bed.

This morning, he broke my heart again.    Not only did he have to take off early to do a side job with his father, but he insulted me in a very personal manner, once again making me feel "not good enough." I laid in bed for at least an hour after he left, crying my eyes out and feeling heavy and miserable as heck. 

I'm still not over it, nor do I suppose I ever will be. But life goes on. For the moment, I'm doing a hair masque treatment which I will rinse out very soon. Then I'm heading out to my hometown in East County to shop. There are a lot of things that we/I need, and shopping is good therapy for a woman's ailing heart.
    I do all of my shopping in East County because the local stores are absolute ghetto crap. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to "get back to my roots," as they say. Remember who I am, where I came from & all that jazz.

Hair: I'm going to try and pick up some Pantene Restoratives products today, in addition to new treatments.
    Today, as I was applying my hair masque, some water got into the jar, so I tried shaking it out...and half of its contents fell out in the shower!      For like 10 seconds, I just stood there completely aghast before figuring that I would just replace it. 

So, great way to start the day (yes, I know that rhymed & is extremely cheesy...I am ashamed). But like I've always said, just because the day is ruined doesn't mean that the night has to be. 

Angle Spun...
Where on earth did you get your ears pierced?  Is there a chance you can get your money back?  My (unsolicited) advice is to take those out, let them heal and go to a place that ONLY does piercings.  Get them re-pierced the right way and tell them that you intend to add more ear piercings in the future so you'll get the placement you want!

Sorry to hear about your lousy unboyfriend.  Until you believe you deserve better, nothing will change.  It is good to dream, and dream big but if you accept scraps...scraps you will get.

Thats really funny about the camera.

Be the person you want to hang out with and "he" will appear, then re-read paragraph #2

Thank you kindly, Sakina and Maggie, for your advice and support. I am happy to report that things seem to be getting better...

Ears: Yes, they were done at the mall, and yes, they used a gun.    It was a spontaneous decision done totally on the fly, and I regret it.
   I have since removed the earrings (which in itself was extremely difficult), cleaned & dressed the new holes and am currently waiting for them to close up. There is no infection, and they will heal completely.
   There was no room to place another piercing between these and the 1st, nor behind them. After removing the earrings, my anger only grew, because I could see for the first time just how terribly misplaced they were. They even messed up on the left side!    From that point on, I swore off getting anymore piercings at the mall, given that this was only one of several botched attempts.
   Next time, I will go to a piercing specialist, like I had wanted to from the beginning.
   Sidenote: My very first set of holes was done at a local swap meet when I was 11 years old, using 2 guns at once, and I have never had any problems with them.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to get my $$ back.  

Work: Today was probably the most hectic it's ever been in my 9 months of service. To intensify matters, both the Director and Manager of Human Resources came down from corporate headquarters to our location.  
   Being that these are the people who decide who gets hired, fired, promoted, etc., I had wanted to dress up & try to make an impression. And I did...just not the impression that I was trying to make!    I was running late, there was heavy traffic and they were all standing at the door waiting for me to open up the office when I finally arrived.    I ended up clocking in only 1 minute early...which isn't good. But I tried to assist them as best I could while holding down the rest of the fort at the same time.
   About an hour before I had to leave, my (hopeful) future boss walked in and said that he would like to interview me for the promotional position tomorrow!!!!!      As he walked away, my heart was pounding in my throat, and I almost felt nautious. The idea that this might actually happen thrills and scares me to death at the same time. *nervous gulp* We'll see...

Meanwhile: My boyfriend & I have patched things up...again. Turns out he didn't mean what he said to insult me so personally...and he knows full well that I'm faithful. He's not used to that.  
   Tonight I'm going out with the family for my sister's birthday dinner. Her birthday was actually yesterday, but she had to work most of the night.  
   I still haven't gotten her present yet, so I need to take off....

Hair: I'm not sure about Pantene Restoratives. The conditioner burns & seems to dry my neck out. Ugh. Will I ever find the right formulas? *sigh*

Anywho, I'll write more when I have more time. Maybe tomorrow...the big interview. Egad!  

Good Luck, Angel Spun!

Don't worry about yesterday.  Although it wasn't the best day to run late, it happens and people who get to "higher up" positions know this.  Just be yourself and you'll be fine!!
