I don’t get it. I just thought of this…

So, I’ve watched Bones on Fox for years, every since the show started. Why does Bones have an apartment? She is an intelligent woman, and I would think that SHE would think that renting an apartment is a waste of money because renting gets you nowhere. I would think that she sees that owning a house would be more valuable. Well, I suppose she doesn’t place value in objects. But all the same. Maybe I’m not explaining myself clearly. I don’t know. Whatever.

I have heard great things about this novel for years, so I finally bought it today. I’m talking about The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.

I must say that so far, it’s good. And it’s interesting, the way the story is told. I’ve never read a book before where the main character is a dead girl telling her story as she’s watching it from heaven. Very intriguing. Well, when I finish it I’ll let everyone know what I think =]

Tomorrow’s Friday!!!! Well, I suppose it’s technically Friday because it’s 1 in the morning, but whatever.

I think I’ve lost weight!! My face isn’t as fat as it was. I’m pretty sure. Also, my pants keep damn near falling off my ass. I have to wear a belt. Maybe I should buy new pants =] I’ve damn near cut eating out OUT of my diet. I pretty much eat out once a week, if that. Last week I don’t think I ate out at all. I’ve saved a lot of money. Well, I haven’t been eating as much as I should either I suppose. I’ve just been eating small meals a couple times a day. I think that’s why I’ve been getting some serious dizzy spells. If I turn my head too fast, I feel dizzy. Sometimes it’s so intense I can’t move for like 10 seconds. I don’t know.

Work sucks, you guys. I’m here on my lunch break…and I’m telling you that people don’t own up to their mistakes at work and it pisses me off. Also, people just not doing the shit they’re supposed to. UGH…that’s what I say.

Anyway, sorry I haven’t been around…I’ve been trying to get used to this schedule of second shift again. And in 3 1/2 more weeks I’m either going to be unemployed again for 5 weeks, or I’ll work first shift for 5 weeks. We’ll see.

I hope everyone is doing well…I’ll try and read some blogs after I get done eating…

My new favorite song: Hang You From The Heavens by The Dead Weather.

OMG I love it!!

Anyway, I’m back on second shift starting today, so I won’t be around for primetime blogging hours =[ We can only go on the internet at work on lunch breaks now…and they’re watching. If anyone goes on the internet any other time, that’s grounds for immediate termination. So…I won’t be around much during the evenings. I’ll try to be on during the day and at night though!

I have seen The Royal Tenenbaums many times, and never really thought about who the narrator was. I am watching it right now, and thought it sounded like Alec Baldwin. I wasn’t too sure, since at times it doesn’t sound like him because his tone of voice is monotonous throughout the narration.

IMDB tells me that I am right. It is Alec Baldwin. DAMN I’m good.

By the way, if you’ve never seen The Royal Tenenbaums, it truly is a must see. It’s awesome. There’s a lot of big names: Anjelica Housten, Gene Hackman, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Bill Murray, Danny Glover, Gweneth Paltrow, and of course, Alec Baldwin, as the narrator.

This post has some nude/partially nude photos…so if you don’t want to see them, don’t look!

As we all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Dan is doing the Save the Boobs Campaign, and other people are doing really great things too.  Dan helped me brain storm a little bit for this one, so thank you very much for that.

What I’ve decided to do is make a list of all the really great uses one can get from their boobs. Breast cancer is the number one kind of cancer that women die from. Dan has links where you can donate for poor women to get free mammograms. A lot of times when women get breast cancer, they lose their breasts to the fight. In honor of these brave women, I’ve developed a list of ways to use your breasts, ladies.

Some of these are more practical than others, so I decided to have a little fun with this. Enjoy!

I was going to do a post about boobs today, but I really have to get this off my chest (ha, my little play on words).

My work had a manufacturing shut down this last month. Basically, we weren’t selling any machines during this time, and most production lines weren’t working. Second shift wasn’t running, and some of is were working first shift. It lasted 5 weeks. The rest of the employees were laid off for this period of time. We had another one during the month of September.

Well, in August, I pretty much had a break down. I was working 60+ hour weeks, there was a lot of pressure coming down from our customer (we work in our customer’s building), and I HATE MY BOSS. I was supposed to work during the September shut down, but they said I can take time off the day before the shut down started.

Then I was pretty much ordered to work this one. Which, I discovered that my job isn’t so bad most of the time. It’s my boss’s NEGATIVITY that brings me down. I try to be a positive person, but when people around me are constantly negative, it affects me. He’ll storm into the office and start throwing things and cussing and yelling about how people aren’t doing their jobs. He will also spend too much time playing Mafia Wars on Facebook instead of working.

So I told my boss’s boss all of this and that I have almost walked off the job many times because I have been affected by this. She doesn’t want to lose me, because I am one of the best workers they have. By the way, I am the second shift lead. There’s not many more steps in the ladder because my boss is one of 3 supervisors, then above them is their boss, the operations manager. HER boss works at the corporate office in IL.

Anyway, I met her boss for the first time yesterday, and when she introduced me, she said “And this is Crystal, she does very good work for us. She’s very thorough, you don’t have to worry about any of the work she does.” Now, I am a pretty humble person. I mean, I know that I am a very good worker, and most of the work I do is 100% correct. I will be the first to admit my mistakes, and I am harder on myself than anyone else will ever be. This doesn’t mean that I go around parading the fact that I’m awesome. Whenever someone tells me I did a good job, I say thank you and go on my way. I don’t brag. So when she said this, I felt embarrassed because of how humble I am. I know a lot of people would prance around if their boss said that to one of the big wigs of the company. Not me. I said, “Thank you Karen. It’s nice to meet you Josh,” and I went on my merry way of working.

ANYWAY, I told her all of this today and she said, “Just wait one week.” I don’t know what that means. I think something’s going to happen…either he’s getting fired (YES!!!) or they are moving him somewhere else (YES!!!! again). I will keep you guys updated….

This other post I’m going to write about boobs…I already started it last night. I’ll try and finish it tonight…
