Hello.

Just because I use FireFox that doesn't mean that I turn a blind eye to all the other browsers out there.

I liked this one for a while and now it's completely free.

===================================

Well Sunday wasn't so bad. I did get cold, but we had rain coming. The guy who had called the day before asking me to com in 3 hours early wasn't there when I got in. He bailed like 30 mins before. He left just before my shift start or just as it started. He asked one of the girls from the library to look over the desk for him until I showed up.

Also surrounding his leaving is that Rick showed up and brought visitors on campus without having them go through security, and when I showed up they were looking for them. When I got down I thought that maybe they had already left or something. If he wanted to he could have left by way of the construction site.

Well my day was mostly uneventful. I made soup. I took and Eno, had and upset stomach again. I got though the day ok, but I didn't remember that I had some other stuff to do until it was time to leave, so I left late. That got me a free ride home. A slow, but free ride home.

As I was leaving, Nika's (the youngest girl working in the library) dad showed up so I waited with him for Nika. She got off at 10:30, then 3 mins into the drive he pulls over and lets her drive so she can learn how to drive at night. Great. So, ofcourse, she drives slowly. The place that she went to for driving lesion never gave her a night time class. Which is wrong now it was brought to my attention. After all driving at day and driving at night is different.

Got home to a changed menu. We had Mac and cheese with stewed turkey. Then I some how managed to stay up until 4am.

I joined a forum like 2 months ago and just forgot. I went to check my old e-mail account. Once in a while I get something there, and I use that account when I don't want to use my main account. Well there I found like 10 e-mails about postings from the forum. So I went in, uploaded my quote, choose an avatar, filled in my profile. I think that I'm rather liked there. Showed up and posted like 6 replays. Answering some of them back was the last thing I did before I went in to bed at 4am.

I was forewarned that we had shopping the next day and to go to bed, but we got rain, so I was able to stay in bed until 11:30. Then at 12:19 I got ready to go out. I should have taken a bath, and washed my face, but I thought I was ok. Only my hair bugged me, and Jhodie wasn't going to redo it for me now. So for the whole outing I was just irritated. Then I told her to go get me some hair scrunches and a comb so I could fix it. I went to pay the cable bills and she went off. We met back up at the bakery. So I started to fix my hair before I went any further, and after the place emptied out, and Jhodie had moved on to the next store, the guy in the bakery kicked me out. Did I mention is was a rainy day. Lucky me it wasn't raining at the time. I half expected him to kick me out. What throw me was how long he waited. 30 more seconds and I would have been finished. So I got the bags that my sister left me and put them down outside as I finished combing out my hair.

NEED TO WASH HAIR.

I think my face was puffy today also. I was mostly a grouch until I got home ahead of Jhodie. We were in Rams and Jhodie said that we could not finish the shopping in time to be home before Nika. I told her that Nika gets home at 3:30 it was mins to 3 we could do it. She said that she may come home 30 mins early. So I was made to call the school to see when they were letting out kindergarten.

He said that kindergarten is let out at 3 and it's up to the parents to come and get the children. The rest of the school is let out t 3:30. So I walked back and told Jhodie what he said, and I said that Nika came home after 3:30 with the bigger kids. She didn't want to risk her coming home early and no one being there, so I left and I wasn't coming back.

I walked all the way to the bus stop, got the front seat, then had to give back the change to the bus driver because I forgot something and had to go back to the store. I had a ticket for my set of bags back at Rams. With out that she couldn't get back our bag of bread and stuff from the other store. I walked in, handed it to her, and walked back out again. I had just gotten to the next block when I bus beeped me. I hoped this meant that he would bypass the main bus stop and just go. I was wrong, but at least he stayed for like 6 mins. It felt like far more, but he left in good time. I got home to see that Nika wasn't sitting on the front step, and it was 15 past 3.

I was going to play some music from the computer while I was in the shower washing my hair, but then I realized that what I wanted was on CD. So I set up the computer to do a virus scan, and took the cd into the bathroom with me. I left the front door unlocked for Nika. She then showed up at 3:30 on the dot. 6 mins or so later Jhodie showed up.

I was checking my mail after my shower and hair washing and I was just falling down asleep. So I went into my bed. I said 10 mins and I knew I was lying, but I expected someone to come wake me up before too long. I was left to sleep until 7:30 I think. I woke up to find Jhodie helping Nika with her home work. The order of numbers.

After I got up, Jhodie left me to help Nika write her 8's . I also helped her with her 6's, then 10 mins later it was shower time. I was left to do that too. Jhodie read her her bedtime story after I got her dressed for bed.

I just got done trying to track down some software that I have an early version of. I checked my e-mail before that. Nothing really. Then I blogged. Now I'm looking at alot of dishes to get washed and a kitchen to clean up all by myself since Jhodie has also fallen asleep.

This turning time back is going to mess me up for a while. At least I got to see a show that I've been missing for weeks. But I was looking for it over an hour. I was starting to think that I missed it again.

We don't turn back time in case you are wondering.

Ok. I'm off.

I Was Up Too Late

That and because Jhodie took Nika to the 7th semester sale today.

So I just stayed in bed until everyone got back around 11:30. Everyone turned out to be Jhodie, Nika, Lynn, and T, the little boy for my uncle. After that people just started to show up and I just stayed in my room until 12 something when everyone had left except Lynn.

I had nightmares at first, then I ended up in a rather nice dream near the end. Ofcouse I can't remember what I dreamed about.

I wandered into the kitchen and got a piece of pear and what was left of the bread for breakfast. I wasn't really planning on eating breakfast, but too many things woke me up thought the morning. Jhodie twice, then Lynn on the phone, then some fool going around the village shouting something that made me think he was trying to call me. But then why was he in the other streets. I tried to tune him out and get back to sleep. Then an hour or so later they came back.

A little after I got in to work the guy said that he was going home. I know he was board, but he was being paid to be here for 8 hours. Then he said that he wasn't feeling well so I just waved him home. I went to see what all the hammering was about and saw that they closed off a little cove at the end of the hall. It looks like they will use it for storage. I hope we get it. The other contender for the space would be house keeping. The space is about 2 or so by 2 or so feet. It was after they had finished and left I realized that they just enclosed the light switch for the bathrooms. :) The door to the space was nailed close.

I once again had nothing to do, so I did a class after trying to make some icons from some .png files. It didn't come out as good as I would have liked, so I hunted down the kind of icon I wanted. Then I started the class. Did that for like an hour or so. Then I didn't feel well and I was a bit on the tired side, I wouldn't remember anything if I continued so I stopped and went to do something else.

I made some colouring books for Nika. I had already done a search around the net for pics and today I'll make them into .pdf books, and have them in order and such. I didn't have that many, so I did end up going out and getting some more. I found a great tracing one for letters. I then made .pdf booklets. Then made covers for those books. I only printed out one. The tracing one since she had to now learn how to write her letters. She already has a real colouring book at home. I went upstairs and got the cover that I printed since I couldn't use Rick's colour printer since I can't even get to it for some reason. Then I scanned the one pic that I got from St. Jean the other day.

While I was up and about, I went over to the library to finish up something that Collin asked me to do like 3 days ago. I had started, I'm just finishing it up now. She didn't want to get off the computer just yet, so I went over to the anatomy lab. :( Formaldehyde. You don't want to spell that stuff. The anatomy lab had more people than the lrc and library put together. Oh, I had "0" and the library had "0". The lab had like 12 students. There were 4 computers over there for me to do. Three were in the "museum". It has bones and bottles with things in them and two cut open cats. Ya. At least I couldn't really smell the formaldehyde in there. The other computer was out there. I went to it, but I couldn't do what I had to. It was turned off and locked up in the cupboard. Another time then.

I came back to do the one in the library and she was gone. Her thing was still up, but I didn't see her. Fine. I came over here, worked on the .pdf's some more, and I've got most of them done now. I just have to touch up the one of mostly Clifford. Then I'll have like 4 or 5 books that I can reprint later for Nika.

I need some Alka-seltzer or Eno. I've had acid in the back of throat for the last 3 hours. I have to buy some on my way home tonight. I just know I won't be able to go to bed if I don't get something for it.

I got Tishon to get me a lunch today. It wasn't bad. I would have liked it better if my insides weren't acting up. I was going to get something from the cafe up stairs, but they closed early. Then one of the new guys calls me up to ask me if I could cover his shift from 11am tomorrow. Ha?? He wanted to go to Nevis for something. He won't tell me what the something is, but he wants me to work an 11 hour shift. Aha. (no) He then said that I could just come in later and just work like 4 hours. I can't do that. He can't do that. I can't shrink my work hours. I told him that I didn't really feel like it. So he said ok and hung up.

After he hung up Tishon told me, it wasn't like he could do what I do, and that's true. He can't really cover for me. Who knows what might come my way this week? The school won't pay for my overtime, and I don't think he has the money to pay me my rate for over time since he just started working, and gets paid less then me. I do feel slightly bad since I normally do cover for people, but I just couldn't give up my Sunday morning, and get nothing out of it. Maybe if he had asked me 4 days ago and I had time to think about it, I might have said yes, but not the day before.

Ok, moving on.

I have 15 mins until closing time here. I found the cover for my thumb drive. I found it this morning on my chair in my room. I have a letters tracing book for Nika. I've scanned the pic for St. Jean. I've done some more of the job that Collin gave me. I've sent off two work related e-mails. I'm good.

I'll go spell check and such now so I can get this done before 10.

Now it's 10:30. The night cleaners are here, and I'm going to lock one door, then I'm out of here. :)

See ya.

Oh.. her is that site...... Jan Breet's Home Page

New Hair Style

I guess now that I should have gotten a pic, but I couldn't since I no longer had a capture card in my computer at work.

I had my hair plat in two and at the end two nice puffs. I didn't get around to washing my hair and so I needed something, but it came out quite well.

On Wednesday Ron went on vacation to Disney World. That night when I let Tishon take me home, knowing his driving, I said that I hope that a hurricane didn't hit while he was there. Tishon then said, that's why he didn't go on Tuesday. *grin*

On Monday Jhodie got it in her to clean out Nika's room and we decided to get rid of the computer parts that I've been holding on to for over a year for no real reason. I called Tishon a little after I woke up on Tuesday and left a message for him because he wasn't there. He got my message and called me to understand what the message was about. I let him know that I had part that I was giving him since I was cleaning out and I wanted the space. He said that I was giving him junk. I told him that most of the parts worked, I just didn't want them any more. He still thought that I was turning him into a junk man to take the parts to the junk yard for me. I went with him Wednesday night so he could make it to my house to pick up the parts after he told me he was coming the night before, and I waited until midnight for him to show.

On Wednesday and Thursday I was so tried at work that I fell asleep a few times. Wednesday I touched up those new pages that I was asked to add, and on Wednesday I finished it up. I was hopping to get news back today saying it was a go to changing the link so it could be accessed since the lady would have liked it up since last Friday, but no news.

Most of today I spent skinning my computer. Oh I did some work before hand. I installed a program for a teacher. I helped St. Jean with remembering how to do some powerpoint things. Then I scanned some files for a student, then helped another teacher with his scanning jobs. I had lunch at 1 since I didn't have breakfast. Then around 4 a teacher showed up for his laptop that Tishon didn't get around to looking at, so I ended up doing it for him and found things that weren't done that should have been done when it was allowed unto the network. Ok, so I didn't spend that much time skinning my computer.

The teacher had a less than 10gig hard drive on which he installed a 3 gig program. I was trying to install updates when it told me that I had 178megs of free space left. Ya.

So with the teacher's permission I uninstalled that program, and proceeded to install SP2, and 16 other updates and the install of an antivirus program. The teacher left and came back during the SP2 install, then hung around for he rest. We talked about tablets, and hard drive space and about this program that he got to help him design some landscaping. I don't know if it's for school or home. I was about to leave with him and call it and early night, since the last time I looked outside it was empty, but when he was leaving I had like 4 students in there. So I couldn't leave, but he surprised me and gave me $30. For a snack he said. Nice snack. $10 of it went towards my dinner. Yesterday she made salt fish and dumplings. I had to buy the flour before I came home that night, but today she didn't quite get around to cooking.

I was thinking of taking Nika to town and getting the bulbs that her lamp needs and pick up some bread then come home and get ready for work. Three days ago the bulbs for her Winnie the Pooh lamp blew. I found out that replacements were $2.50.

I feel bad when I don't get up early and go walking or something on the weekend before work. I'll see if I get my butt out of the house tomorrow.

Other than all that Jhodie went wireless yesterday. It was part of clearing out the hall way. Speaking of cable, the company, I heard that they were going to increase their speeds. Great. Let's see what really happens. They are doing this, as far as I can tell, because the other people who have internet access on this island is also speeding up their internet connections also. I have to watch local tv more.

Last night at work I tried to do a class. I picked the wrong path so I have do half of what I did all back over again. I have to find out if I can get certified in anything from DeVry . I know you can get a degree, I just want to get certified in a few things. I'm not going to hurt myself.

Ok, I've blogged. I can scratch that off my list.

Oh, a small bit of news. I might be able to get that laptop fixed. Do you remember me saying that a student was willing to give me his laptop, but it got broken? Well I might have found somoene who could fix it for me. I just have to talk to the student. :) Then I'll have an xp computer that I can play with. I'm sure Nika will steel it from me and using "It's just my size." as a way of explaning it. :) I hope she stays smart.

Ok.. I think that's it. I'll stay out here, watch some tv, maybe wash some dishes. Then go to bed by 1am so I can get up tomorrow and take Nika to town.

Oh, by the way. Nika loves the pencils and rubbers and sharpeners that I got her. :)

Night.

time....11:06pm

Sony Pictures - Underworld: Evolution

It's here. It's really here.

I was starting to write the movie off, but I stumbled over this today while testing out my internet connections. I think some security features got updated, my network just got a bit more restricted and I was trying to find out why and a way around it, but I didn't. Ya I'm not as smart as some people think I am.

Speaking of which my uncle came by today thinking I can help him. Not getting into that, back to the movie.

Now this went in a direction that I didn't expect, but they had so many set backs who knows how much of the original strip has been changed since the first draft, not to mention first director.

Loved the trailer. But you can't find it at this link. This link gives you a very nice flash intro, it was a bit slow on my connection and computer.

Sony Pictures - Underworld: Evolution

The trailer I got here.

Yahoo Movies - Underworld:Evolution

They also have pics from the movie. The site says that it's coming out in December, but the trailer says that it's coming out in January. Guess the date was changed after they posted information on the site, or someone didn't get the memo.

Either which way, I'm so going to own this movie. I'm a vampire girl. *grin*

------

Now I can talk about my day. My sister woke me up an hour before I was ready to get out of bed, but then didn't come back for me after that hour so I got up 2 hours later at 12. I got up, got ready and went to town to get some small school supplies for her. My sister expected me to only spend like $7. I spent more like $12. The day before she was telling me how she finds things missing from her bag, and people must be taking stuff from her. So after that I just made sure that she had a good supply of things. 5 rubbers, one I spent too much on at one store. 10 pencils without rubbers, 4 sharpeners and another rubber that I thought was nice. It's like a push down pen and a small 5 pack of crayons.

I walked into town, walked around town getting all of this, and then caught a bus and got back home in an hour. Not bad, and I didn't fell like I was rushing.

Oh, and news of news. My uncle paid, do you hear me? Paid to have someone burn a copy of a cd for him. And how much did he pay? $25. So when he heard we had burners from his son the leach, he came over to have us burn him a copy of some other cds from a friend of his.

Jhodie has already declared that I can't ask her to show him how to use his burner. *grin* Ha!...If he calls her for help while at work I have nothing to do with it. :) :)

Ok.. I'm off to watch "Jorden".. night.

This pic could have been taken down here.

=========

Now for why I'm still awake.

For one, I don't have work tomorrow and Nika isn't home.

Second, I don't know. I didn't expect to be up until 4am last night too, but at least I was doing something or had something on that I wanted to see.

I wanted to see Merge, a show on channel 19 here, but it seems like the tv guide channel is lying to me. :(

But I did fine something intresting to watch. My sister is up and getting reaquanted with her laptop.

back... I stoped to try and talk with her. She kinda heard me most of the time.

My day at work was ok. I went quite smoothly other than when michell showed up with a visiting teacher and asked if his account was set up yet, and if I could make an ID for him. I was sorry that the answer was no to both questions. The account as far as I could see was set up yet, and I couldn't give him and ID, because the software has been acting up for the past 4 or so days. I'm seeing and upgrade for this computer and software in the very near future. Like the day we finianly ship if off to the Security department. We had the set up just because we were the computer people, but then, we didn't have a security department until early last year I think.

We were looking over my pay stub yesterday, and the day I finish paying off Hofsford I get back $161 each paycheck. That's $322 every month. Then there is the the $150 each month to Courts for the phone and cd/mp3 radio. Together when it's all said and done, I'll be getting back $472 each month. Wow. I'll be rich, and two months after that, my sister will not feel so rich going to store and accadently turning it into smoke. But that won't happen until the end of next year I think. To add to that I'm getting a little raise at the start of the year. Everyone gets a 2% living increse, but you can get more than if you worked well or stood out with something really good during the year. I got a 5% raise the first year with Ron, the next year wasn't that good due to the downloading thing, but I still got 3%. This year I expect 4%.

Now I remember why I'm not in my bedroom right now. I don't have a tv. My tv has gone mostly belly up. It's now making impressions of a 1940's tv. Black and white with snow sounds, still in the compressed form it has been sporting for the last 2 years.

It's now 3 and my sister wants me in my bed since she wants me to wash dishes tomorrow.

Last bit of work talk.....

I didn't have much other than finish up the two computers that I was working on yesterday. A laptop that came in with virus problems. The girl didn't know, and I didn't feel like teaching, so I told her to drop it off Saturday and come back on Sunday to see what I had done if anything.

The next one was said to just be a slowing down of the system. So I thought it was going to be the simple one. Ya, that one turned into more of a problem than the virus one.

The girl came for the virus one, and was willing to pay me, but I told her that we didn't charge anymore, but I might still get something from her. I don't know. If I do, I do. If I don't, I don't. I wasn't expecting anything from her when I did the job.

The one that was just slow needs more memory. It works fine without having certen programs installed, but as soon and I install some strong computer protection and cleaning tool, it just stopped moving and stalled in it's tracks. I had to hard reboot it twice before I went home. I'm still asking the $120 for my two days work on it. This wasn't a school job, so I get paid for it. He can take his time paying me. Some of it is going to go to Rick to pay for the stuff I owe him, and make way for me to give him a little advance on the next set of parts for the computer.

Ok.. I just yawned. I should go to bed now.

I did forgot to do one thing before I left work, and I just remembered. I was so happy that they sent it on time this time and I didn't post it. It's slightly comforting that it was a mass e-mail. I think.

I'm currently stuck on 'Will Smith's - Switch' song. I know I'm late, but I can't keep up with the stuff I use to be current with in NY.

Ok, leaving. I'll spell check and so on tomorrow. Maybe. :P

See ya.
