Vacation time where are thou?

I have survive yet another buy out at my current employer and it sucks!.

Our company was owned my a major media company but since it was and is doing poorly it was sold to a little company that probably attained it fairly cheaply, maybe on clearance?. Besides being owned by 4-5 different companies in the last 4 years and going through 3-4 lay offs. I think the buck stops here they are messing with my vacation time, sick and personal days.

We no longer have personal days available and we need to accrue our vacation and sick time before we can use it. Who does that anymore? (don't answer that, I'm venting) Well this company doesn't offer personal time and has cut the number of sick days. What the hell!?

The buck stops here, I'm out of here. Need a new job!

Always the bridesmaid

I was thinking the other day..................................................... What is 3 years in a relationship for a 28 year old female? A long fucking time, time is ticking and I want to settle down and stop running around with the boys.

My boyfriend doesn't seem to be making a move so I think I should make one for both of us. I love this man and love his company but there is something that isn't there. Maybe a ring? LOL.

One of my good friends is getting married this weekend and I'm part of the bridal party. I'm happy for her and her new endeavor but feel a bit salty. I don't want to be the bridesmaid anymore I would much rather be the blushing bride. I'm the last of my friends who have no kids, no husband and no divorce. I try to think of the upside, at least I have loved and been loved as much as I have loved. Do I make sense with that last sentence? I don't think so.

It's a beautiful day here in Chicago and I don't want the above to damper my day so I needed to confess my sins, oops! I mean my feelings to someone or something that wont judge. Well,atleast to my face. =) My sins will be later.

Have you ever loved someone you cant have?

Why does this keep happening?

Why does this continue to happen? I'm not a radical pro life person. I'm pro choice!

Don't tell me what to do with my body and I wont tell you what to do with yours. I'm just disgusted by the headlines recently of newborns being killed. What the Hell is going on?

Missing my papi

If you know Spanish you probably thought "Oh no another blogg about an ex" Well that's not the papi I'm referring to. I'm referring to mi papa, mi apa, my dad, the old man. I miss my Dad and after 4 long years I still miss him.

I still find myself yelling for him when I get home "apa, apa, apa" but he never answers. I don't expect him to answer, I just miss having those words come out of my mouth. I will never have the chance to say "apa" ever again. I hate the reality of it!

The reason why this entry was triggered was due to taxes, yes I said taxes. I'll explain.
Last night I was doing my taxes and I got to the part where the IRS asks.... Do you want to contribute to?......
Wildlife foundation, MS , breast cancer and so on. Well, they didn't have Prostate Cancer on there this year. I usually donate to the Prostate Cancer fund and it wasn't on there. So my 3 bucks went to Multiple Sclerosis and I was left thinking about my dad.

I miss him very much.

I need to Vent!

Yesterday there was a report of yet another newborn baby killed by their mother. Hearing this pisses me off! I don't know why I get like this, I guess I really do have a heart.

The usual reactions given by most people to this type of news is a comment, "how sad and Why?" then they turn the channel. This issue is really bothering me, I guess because of all the recent cases in the Chicagoland area of newborn baby's being thrown out windows, washed in hospital linens or simply thrown in the trash. I'm tiered of hearing such bad news.

There is a law in the state of Illinois, it allows mothers to leave their newborn baby's (up to 3 days after birth) at a hospital, police station or fire department with out criminal prosecution. Let me scream this from high above the Sears tower I THINK THIS IS A GREAT LAW! ! ! !

The problem is, it's not working that well! ! ! !

Why isn't it working? Maybe these women are not aware of this law, Maybe they are afraid that this law will prosecute? I really don't know! I was thinking the other day how can we make this law well known or publicize it more? I have the perfect solution to this. The solution targets almost everyone from different demographics and income. Why? Because the majority of people do this.

Ready for the answer????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Why don't we have a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT during the adds or trailers at a movie theater? Think about it, Before a movie starts you are already sitting there your watching adds for doctors, Dentists, bookstores, restaurants and why not this too! It targets everyone because everyone goes to the movies, most everyone arrives early for a great seat.

Maybe the people are not aware that this law does exist, this would be a perfect opportunity to expose this law.

Has no one thought of this? Do you think it will work ? Any ideas?
