i wasn't sacked! yay me!

they did however let go someone in our dept... she worked in the listings sections and she has worked for the county a lot longer than i have... she was always late to work and never did a good job... so they really did base it off of job performance... i also heard someone in inspections who has worked for the county for over 13 years was let go as well... so it wasn't based on seniority.. which is good new for me... i just hate it for all the 27 people who lost their job

but we did learn that after this fiscal year which ends june 30th... we will all have to take 80 hour unpaid furlough days off... but i don't care cause i'm just glad that i still have my job

the county is cutting 27 jobs tomorrow and i don't know if i'm one of those 27 people losing their job

from our local newspaper:

New Hanover to lay off 27 county employees Tuesday

Cuts expected to save $1.6 million

Fuck! someone hacked into my email account and started sending spam and blank emails with attachments that have a virus in it to everyone in my contacts *at least i'm guessing it was everyone*... i'm so pissed about this... so now i had to send an email to all of my contacts about this and this sucks... i feel violated in way... i'm just glad i found out about it now... one of the emails they sent didn't get delievered correctly and thats how i knew someone was using my account... well i reported it to microsoft and they are working with me on this... so now i have to change my password and all that other crap... damn it

*sings* to the east side

okay so not quite east... more west of wilmington... which would be downtown wilmington.

mike and i have been talking about moving... we like the place we are in... but being in a town home having a neighbor only a wall away is getting old... esp if you have an old lady as a neighbor who likes to complain about the tv being on late at night because her bedroom is right next to our livingroom... i can see where she is coming from... she is old and sleeps early and our tv isn't loud... its just right next to her bedroom... so yeah... its just annoying... even though she hasn't really been complaining lately... but its only a matter of time... or she died in her sleep... one or the other

so mike and i have looked at houses and NOT condos downtown.... we did at one point look at condos downtown that are really nice that we have fallen in love with but again... its like living in an apartment... only you own your space... so yeah... we want a house house.

some houses we are interested in

515 s 3rd st $499,900
3 Bedroom and 3.5 Baths



Very cute on the outside and the backyard is pretty awesome



yes it needs some work in the back but come on... its huge and it has a small river and bridge... with a little work this backyard could look great.

520 s 2nd st $485,000
2 Bedrooms and 2.5 Baths



okay so its a litle smaller but its soooo cute and it has a fence *i'm a dork i know* but downside... it only has 2 bedrooms... the townhome we are in now has 3... one for mike and i... one as mike's office and the other as my office with a futon for guests *which we just got a new frame and mattress which is sooooooooooo comfy* and i think it will be very crowded if we make that second room an office for both of us AND a guest room... so we'll see.. and the backyard isn't anything to write home about



meh... its alright but it does have one of those awesome old bathtubs with legs on them



i don't know why but i have always loved these kind of bathtubs

anyways these are the two that we only really started looking at.. but of course still many more to see... but who knows... one of these two could be our new home for us and the bunnies

OR we could be going through a phase like a year or so back when we started looking at condos downtown but then backed out of it... but with me being full time with the county and getting paid a lot more and very soon being out of debt *yay finally* and mike making about 40 percent more *with all of his promotions* than he did when he first moved into this townhouse... and mike did buy this townhouse about 5 years ago before housing cost went through the roof... he could start the asking price for a lot less than people around this area are asking for and still sell it for more than what he paid for it... so i don't know... we just might

so i went through today and did a MASSIVE friends deleting on xbox live... i had almost 100 friends on my list and like half them i didn't know or have not played with them in ages... so i did a massive deleting

for some strange reason... whenever i clear up my friends list on any online community thing... i always tend to feel better *shrugs* i don't know why

oh and side note... i didn't delete anyone off of myspace... i just deleted my account... as soon as some 50 year old woman hippie at my work kept bugging me about adding her back on myspace (i still don't know how she found my profile... i have it all set to private including my name when people type it in search) i knew it was time to get rid of it :P plus i never used it or updated it

another side note.. where are all my xbox live friends that i play with!?! they never seem to be online when i'm around... i think my schedule is just out of whack for everyone else on my list *sigh* i miss playing with you guys :(

will give me nightmares tonight o_O i want this game now

George W Bush is no longer our president!

*parties*

Mike is driving me insane right now



that is all

its still a little surreal that Circuit City is now no more. Its very very sad. I always remembered as a kid going to Circuit City all the time... they were so big in the 90s and i remember their commercial where at the end a big giant plug would fall from the sky and hit the ground powering the circuit city store... *sigh* and of course the worse part about all of this... is all of those jobs being lost... i feel so bad for everyone who is now jobless... from corporate headquarters to customer associate... i feel horrible for all of them... i'm in a weird funk right now over this... its like someone just told me a friend of mine died... its all very sad

so i was bored and on the internet and after wiki lots of things... i found out that the song "If U Seek Amy" was suppose to sound like "F.U.C.K. ME" when britney sings if you seek amy... i thought that was dumb and i never picked up on it and that these parents being upset over their kids singing f.u.c.k. me just want a reason to bitch or probably sue... but i listend to it... and yeah... it does sound like she is saying F.U.C.K. ME

But all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy

(taxpayer hands me a check to pay tax bill)
(i look it over and see that there is no phone number on the check)

Me: I just need a phone number to put on the check

Taxpayer: A what? (with southern accent 60-70% of the time)

Me: Yes, a phone number so I can put it on the check.

Taxpayer: Phone number?

Me: Yes

Taxpayer: My phone number?

Me: No, the phone number to pizza hut. Yes of course your phone number*

*what i really want to say

watch this animated gif and then listen to "If U Seek Amy" by Britney Spears when she sings "la la la la" at the start of the song... its trippy


thanks to </a></font></b></a>kain_larsen for having this image as your avatar and me watching it while listening to that song lulz

Madonna's video for "Give It to Me" is fuckin' retarded.

so i got an email from microsoft about an hour ago saying
