Taking the baton from Chaos-Girl:

Total volume of music files on my computer:
1.58 GB

The last CD I bought was:
System of a Down: MEZMERIZE
Got the hubby to pick it up for me the day before yesterday!

Last acquired:
John Mayer
I borrowed it from a co-worker and was listening to it in the truck, when my disc changer decided to die - so now I guess it’s mine.  I can still play it, I just cannot get it out.

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
1. That’s How Strong My Love Is by Otis Redding (wedding song)
2. Stellar by Incubus (special to me & hubby)
3. Misty Morning by Bob Marley (its something about the name)
4. Two Step by The Dave Matthews Band (fun times w/ my sister)
5. Rollerskates by Steel Pulse (fun times, period!)

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:
1. Nadine
2. Dena
3. Chatty
4. Not Your Typical Southern Belle
5. The Red Beet

Today is International Surfing Day!  How do I know this?  Because I was raised at the beach and everyone I have ever known surfs - and because I am a member of the Surfrider Organization.

Surfrider is a great organization dedicated to keeping our beaches clean, safe and FUN!  In honor of today, I thought I would share the email I received today from our local chapter here in Virginia Beach:

Well, last night I broke down and joined Weight Watchers.  I am really unhappy at how long I have let myself go with losing the baby weight from Ashton.  I have tried doing it on my own, but lose motivation so quickly now that I have two kids.  I didn?t have this problem after Kaiden.  I have been paying for ?Curves? for a damn year now and am the same weight, if not more than when I started.  Of course their hours are really not conducive to a full-time working mother of two, which is supposed to be a target group for them?  Wake Up Curves!!!

I don?t need to be super thin (as was my goal prior to marriage and kids); my main goal here is to be able to run again.  I used to run 3 to 5 miles a day ? and I never felt better!  I want that feeling and motivation again, and I want my kids to be raised in a healthy household.  So we?ll give this a try!  Thank god my friend Dena is doing it with me!!!

Anyone have any experience with Weight Watchers?

Ass-Kissing

I cannot stand people that kiss ass.  If you are good at what you do, then there is no reason for it.

Co-Workers w/ Poor Personal Hygiene

Take a shower every day, use deodorant, brush your teeth, carry mints with you, etc. - it’s not that hard people.

Talkers

I am all for bullshitting, but I cannot stand people that stand at my desk and talk continuously about stupid crap all the time.  Can?t they tell that I am not even paying attention by the fact that I am not even looking at them, I am staring at my monitor?

Poor Planning

I don?t like looking like an asshole in front of clients because no-one wanted to take the time and make a game plan!

Indecisiveness

Discuss the plan, Decide on the plan, Stick to the Plan!

Backstabbing

DO NOT CROSS ME AT WORK!  I actually know what I am doing and am an asset to the company ? chances are, you are not!  So do not ever try to undermine me and ?copy? everyone in the office about it!  I will always win!

Micro-Managing

I know how to do my job, and I know when things are due; therefore, I do not need any reminders.  You do your job and tell me what is expected from the beginning.

Filing

Not much to this one ? I just HATE it!  This explains why my piles are always so high and I need to take it to the conference room table to sort through it - or I just get someone else to do it for me!

Fish Cookers

Seafood is not an appropriate food to microwave at work.

Nail Clipping

Clip your nails at home ? it grosses me out to listen to you doing it in your office, seriously!  It is sad that this even needs to be said!
