Newest Part of the Broderick Team

OMG! I'm so excited! I sit here now at my desk, in my office. I share the office, but let's focus on the excitement that at my job I am not a complete underling, nor do I have to share my desk. It's my own. I even have my name on the door, which I will take a picture of next week when I'm here. My excitement is huge. Others kinda laugh, but common! I need to take my joy in it before the novelty wears off. Well, that's all for now. Woo Hoo! I'm going to decorate my office next week. ~Tiffany

Thanksgiving

Hmmm, it's been a while since I've written. Thanksgiving Day was yesterday. My family got altogether and went to my Aunt Francie's for lunch, and stayed for nine hours. OMG. Then when we got home my brother had left something in the car, I reminded him that he needed to take it with him. He responded "I'm going to choke you." Somehow, my parents couldn't understand why that upset me. What kind of brother threatens that? I think it's terrible.

Anyways, Joe came over to night we watched some movies and hung out. I'm looking forward to my Thanksgiving on Sunday. My mom's family is coming then. Woo hoo. Should be interesting.

I am involved in a Abusive Relationship

I have come to the conclusion that saying it or writing it aloud will be the best thing. By getting it off my chest I hope to be able to come to terms with the abusive relationship that I'm in. We've been together since about middle August.

It was good at first I was happy to go see him, then slowly the shine began to dull. Now I go see him every Sunday night, I do my best to make him happy and he kicks me when I'm down. The worst part is he won't let me go home. It's 1am and he just sits there and says "get the stuff posted it's your job". I know I should just walk away, but I need the pay off that only he can give me.

He's always threatening to let me go if I don't do everything right. Granted, there are somethings that I do wrong on purpose just to piss him off. I smile at my small victory. Soon I will get the courage to look at him, and say to his face "I QUIT!"

ilife Joy

I am soooo EXCITED! I just got my ilife in the mail, and I got a new imac ordered through ebay! Now I'll be able to edit and make movies! Joy! Are you excited too? Now I'll be able to actually be entertaining! Which of course is my ultimate goal.

West Port Fun!

So, what's new with me? I went with Joe last night to Trivia Night at the Westport Flea Market. We lost, but I'm proud to say that I did my part. I got every question in the "Disney Movie Songs" category correct. Yay Me! Then we went to The Embassy to support Bryan in his comedy pursuit. I didn't get to see him perform, but I did get to see some other funny acts. Altogether fun. This was a late night, by the time I got home it was 2am. Which was not necessarily a good thing, since I needed to get up and be at work by 8:30... ick. I'm doing okay so far, but I think I'm going to need a nap this afternoon. So I'm currently at work, and bored, so I think I will give you a quick tour of where I work. (Because I am bored).

My old Blogs

Normally, I am not very good at keeping up with my blogs. In fact, I went through all the trouble, lucky you, of tracking down my old blogs. Here's my xanga. It lasted for a couple of months...off and on. Here is my LiveJournal. The LiveJournal is from my freshman year of college, and the xanga is from my sophmore year. Both were at Cottey. Yeah, and I sucked at maintaining them. Oh well. Blast from the past.

Waiting on the Editors

Okay, so I'm really tired, I don't feel well, and yet... and yet somehow I am here at work. I have 12 more stories that I need to post online, and they aren't done yet. So I sit. In case you are wondering what I am talking about. - I am a web producer for the University Daily Kansan, and every Sunday I sit here, waiting to be free. It's not that I'm slow. No, I have done everything needed that I can possibly do, and now I sit here waiting for the finally stories to be looked over so that I can then go and post them and go home. Woo hoo. I don't ask for much... just sleep.... which tends to be a reoccuring theme with me. That and this sit around and waitness. I mean I was doing that at the other job today. I sat around and waited for someone to call. Ugh.

Oh, and this evening I needed to get on campus to go to work... and there was evidently a basketball game on campus and the cops had blocked off most of campus and there was no way to on campus. It sucked. And when I tried to tell one of the police officers that I need to get on campus to get to work he just yelled at me and said "I'm not arguing with you". I wasn't wanting to argue, I needed to get on campus. I just wanted to run him over. (don't worry, I didn't actually run him over, tempting though it was.) Instead I honked my horn at him in frustration and tried another way. I did eventually get on campus, where I now sit in boredom. Oh joy.

Sad Little Monkey

I have come to the conclusion that at my job, I'm simply a glorified monkey... a monkey with no bananas. I, am a banana-less monkey. I sit at a desk for eight hours on the off chance that the phone might ring. (normally it does not). And I have "projects" like stuff ten thousand envelopes with letters from an agent and a calendar. Do I get a calendar? No. I am a calendar-less monkey. Actually, I just looked at the calendars, they're pretty nice. Black Monthlies with gold writing. Hmmmm.... I may have to snarf one. Actually, I like my smaller one better. Ah, well. Boredome ensues.

Creeped Out!

So last night was interesting. I was watching a movie when I felt something cold climbing up my leg, which was weird since I was wearing jeans. We have recently been overrun by the Japanese Beetles which disguise themselves as ladybugs. I didn't panic, because I figured it was just one of these beetles, and they don't particularly freak me out. So I stood up and proceded to shake my pant leg to dislodge it. That is when the centipede fell out of my pants. HOLY CRAP!!! Okay, now centipedes I do have a problem with. Especially when they are in MY PANTS!!! So, I run like hell (really fast) to the bathroom where I proceeded to strip out of my pants and turn them inside-out and shake the hell out of them in order to dislodge any extra stow-aways that might have hitched a ride. I didn't find anymore, thank God, but the rest of the night I kept feeling like I had something crawling up my leg. Which, as anyone who has been there can tell you, is a creepy feeling. (Been there as in felt that feeling, not my leg).

Artsy-Fartsy and Bored

I'm feeling kinda artsy today. So I want to post an artsy video from my favorite vlogger. If you want to see more of her stuff go to Paperlilies

(okay I had a vlog here, but it's not currently working, I'll re-insert it later)

This is an example of a vlog, I promise that my future ones will be more interesting... at least I hope so . I think that they will be much better once I get the software to be able to edit, and do things like Paperlilies. ~Tiffany

Already tired, and still so far to go.

The end to a very long day, but a beginning of a very long week. The whole day has been spent running, and most of the night. Tomorrow I must once again hit the ground running. And I already hate to run. But tomorrow should be better than today, which was icky. Icky? Yeah, icky. Childish word? Yeah, probably. But I'm tired and don't really care.

My Computer's trying to give me Panic Attack!

Okay, so I got off of work, closed my laptop and took it to the car. After carefully setting it in the front carseat I took off down the road back to Lawrence. Little did I know that when I reached my destination and tried to turn my computer back on. It would give me the computer finger. No, not that finger, the middle one.

It wouldn't turn on. I freaked. You simply can't be a student in this day and age and not have a computer, it simply isn't possible. Nor will teachers take any excuses, which sucks. So I finally accepted that I couldn't fix my computer and set out to find out how much a new one would fix. It was as I was discovering that a new computer would only cost me about $330 that my roommate announced that she had fixed my computer. "What?" She said that she simply pressed harder on the power button. Praise be to persistant people!

So my laptop is now working and my parents have seen the wisdom in getting me my software so I can update the Apple G3 that I had bought a couple months ago just in case this sort of thing happened. So they told me to buy what I need and they will reemburse. Woo Hoo!

Procrastination and Possibilities

I'm back at work again, same office. Back to being bored. No, that's not true. I have my crochet, my book on tape, and two computers. So I'm not technically bored. The true problem is that I don't sit well. I just don't. I think it is because I have ADHD, and my own personality. So, I write. Not the paper I should be writing, but instead my blog. The blog I made to use to teach the realtors here how to make their own : Click here to see. I showed it to my parents, my dad brought up an interesting point. I have knowledge. I know how to make a blog and do really interesting things with them, though normally I don't do them on this blog. I should be able to make more money setting them up since I know how and they don't. Hmmm interesting thought. What if I only show them the basics then taunt them with what I can set up for them for a price.... an interesting topic. I love the idea of being able to make money by working from home making blogs for the agents. I wonder if I can get them to go for it. I'll show them the finish product Nov. 19. I guess I'll know then.

Laughter is the best Medicine... for boredom!

I'm at work and bored beyond reason. Sure I could do my homework, lord knows I have enough of it to go around, but I would rather work on my blog and the blog that I am creating for Re/Max State Line. Hee hee hee. So here, enjoy this, it's a composite of a bunch of Mel Brooks Movies. It's great for a laugh or two. :)

This is a video of me and the girls I used to Nanny, now I'm just the scary chick that won't go away. But it's really funny anyways. :) (I showed this to my dad and he said that if you don't know what's going on this video could be taken wrong. This video is just us playing around, me taking the camera and them chasing me down to get it back. We have lots of fun with cameras. :) )

Happy Days are here again!

Okay, no more of that down stuff. I'm getting along better with my roommates (denial is a wonderous thing). And because we are getting along better, I'm not quite so rant-y. It's wonderful, I know. I have gotten a couple more hours here at work, that's right I'm making money!

Halloween was straight up awesome. I hung out with one of my roommates until her date came and I got uncomfortable being the third wheel and decided to go play poker with my friend Joe. I lost around 10:30pm and decided it was just as well and set off for home and bed.

However, when I got home my neighbors had a bonfire going in their driveway. They asked me if I wanted some candy. Stupid Question, of course! So I wound up hanging out until 1:30am. When I decided I really needed to go to bed since I have class the next morning at 9:30... and a 7:45 wake up call. Joy. I will admit to skipping the morning class, but I did go and get the notes that same day... which reminds me I have homework in that class... yay blogspot. I probably would have forgotten otherwise.

So, yep that's what's happening with me. My other piece of news is that when I came into Re/Max today, my boss asked me if I knew how to or what a blog is.... ummm yeah. So now I'm making a mock blog for the office which I will use to show others how to make their own. And I may even be able to get some of the agents to pay me to make and maintain a blog of their own. That is AWESOME
