Insane Random Ramblings

Speaking of vacation

Sabrina — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:51:54 +0000

I need to earn more rewards points for my travel accounts. I have several hotel accounts and 2 airline accounts. I have been fortunate enough to find ways to add points to my accounts without actually flying or staying at a hotel.

Most of the points come from playing various games and promotions that the company offers. But I also get points from buying HDMI cables or shoes and clothes online. They also have deal with banks, brokerage houses and the electric company. As long as it’s something that I was going to do anyway, I’ll go for it.

Right now I need a gang load of points to be able to go somewhere really nice. But it I’m going to use points, I should go somewhere totally out of the ordinary and totally take advantage of the situation.

I need a plan of action to accrue points fast and furiously.

I need a vacation buddy

I have a couple of friends that I think would make good travel partners, but they both have kids so it makes it more difficult to travel. My normal travel buddies are acting up and I haven’t gone anywhere with them for a couple of years. I don’t see myself going anywhere with them either, even if we’re going to the same place.

Unfortunately it’s way too expensive right now for me to consider going solo. I can’t even find a trip for under $1k. The same trip with 2 people is less than $800 in some cases around $750. I do know there is the single supplement but right now it’s not a good time for me to kick out that extra money.

Hopefully something comes up within the few months. I really need a vacation.

Why am I attracted to the wrong men?

There is somebody right now who I’m kinda seeing who is muy caliente. But I already know he’s all wrong for me. This is not a “real” relationship so to speak. We’re basically just seeing each other.

He’s cool with just dating and not having a real commitment. It’s not usually the kind of relationship that I go for but I figured I would just go with the flow. I’m usually all about stability and long-term prospects. But there’s something about this guy that made me change my mind.

As long as I keep it casual I’ll be ok.

I need to run to get my new shoes

Which is ironic. I have to run to get running shoes! Anyway, the company shipped them UPS.

I get home at 7:30pm so I generally miss the delivery. If there is no one there to sign for the package, I have to run over to the service center to pick it up. They close at 8pm so I have to leave work a little earlier than usual today to be able to make it on time. Last week I got there at 8:05pm and the lights were out and everyone was gone. I don’t blame them though because once my day is done, I’m out.

I do need to pick up some mailing supplies like stamps, tyvek envelopes, and boxes for my Ebay adventures. However, I always have trouble with UPS so I’m opposed to spending any more money in there than I have to. There’s always somewhere else to shop. Believe me I know!

Thank goodness this week is over

Sabrina — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:37:48 +0000

By the time I get to work on Friday, the week is over for me. I pretty much just coast along on Friday until it’s time to go home. This week has been a hot mess all around and I’m glad it’s over. There was the job fiasco but there were a few other things that happened along the way that I had to deal with.

I hope next week is better because I surely can’t deal with another week like this.

I’m just being a hater today

I found out who got the job that I really wanted. Her interview sucked, her outfit was not appropriate and she rolled her eyes and sucked her teeth at the interviewer. Wow! And she got the job. She does have a degree and is working on a master’s but has no experience. I have the experience and a degree. I guess she somehow out-interviewed me.

Of course, it could have also been the see through shirt she had on.

I’m good with snow for the rest of the year

Sabrina — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:38:03 +0000

I don’t like snow at all. I got caught in it the other night while I was coming home and it was a mess. I will drive when it’s less than 3 or 4″ of snow but once it’s more than that my car doesn’t move.

I really felt for our maintenance man because he has to come out and clean our driveway and sidewalks no matter how cold it is outside. I know he can’t wait until spring so he can set up the composter and not have to worry about freezing snow or frost outside.

To be truthful, I can’t wait for spring either. If it were up to me we would skip winter all together.
