So I guess this most is the first of many updates. I'm going to start with the fish.
FISH
For my birthday I was given a fish tank and some things to put in it. YAY! Then I went to put some actual fish in it and found out I needed to get "filler fish" to put in my tank until they gunked it up enough for other fish to inhabit it. Yay...
Then a month went by. 2 fish died. Then I started getting concerned that the tank was too murky. I got a new filter sponge to put in there and asked to get a sucker fish. I was told I needed to give the fish store a water sample to make sure the ph balance was correct before they'd give me new fish. Fish are so high maintenance...
Then my sister came over to help me clean the tank since it was wayyyy too murky. During the process the rest of the 5 fish started to turn over on their bellies or go "belly up". It was a frantic period of time. We managed to save all but 2. So at this point I'm down to 3 fish. Great.
Next morning I wake up and 2 more have died. Really great. Then when I came home from work the last of my fishes had passed on. Apparently 7 fishes were too many for my tank size and they ended up polluting their own water and depriving it of oxygen. Fish are suicidal. Now I have to start all over again. They should have just gotten me a hamster.
TOASTMASTERS
Last Wednesday I show up at 6:30 to start arranging tables and passing out papers for the meeting to start at Carrows. Unfortunately as I pulled up to Carrows I noticed that all the lights were off. I was like, "That's never good...". Then I found a note on the door announcing that 1. They were hiring and 2. They were having a managers get together that Tuesday and Wednesday at another restaurant. So my brain, not functioning particularly well in the morning but still maintaining some level of competency, decided that 1. The lights were off and 2. Nobody was home that day. 3 other members showed up around that time and came up with the same diagnosis: Meeting adjourned.
So I head into work and fill my day as expected. Then I come home and check my email. The restaurant decided to open after all at around 7am -their new opening time- and people set up the meeting without me and carried on. 8 people were absent from the meeting and the VP of Education gave out a sorrowful chastising saying, "I don't know why people said they were going to be here and then weren't but those people need do better. They made the Toastmaster's job harder and blah blah blah..." It went on a tangent of Guilt Trippery.
So yah... that was fun...
ZODIAC
Today my mind really decided to make the link between seasons and people's personality types. I don;t know why but this theme of seasons keeps coming up so I figured I'd mention it just for the record.
Spring (The Beginning): Aries, Taurus, Gemini
Summer (A time of Warmth and Love): Cancer, Leo, Virgo
Fall (A time of Change and Preparation): Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius
Winter (The End): Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces
It's interesting - Aries, Taurus, and Gemini are the youngest souls just starting out in terms of maturity. Then it's Cancer, Leo, in terms of emotions and being "kid" souls. Then Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius in terms of adulthood and having a career sort of maturity. Then come the old souls -Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and in some cases the Aries again. They do tend to reflect the weather/seasons they are brought into.
I got this thing in the mail. "A sign from the Lord about your future". A Church Rug Prayer was in it -made of paper not actual rug. There was also a piece of paper saying how people who had prayed to Jesus using the prayer rug had gotten "blessed" with money afterwards. One quote said, "God blessed me with over $5000 dollars". "Our Lord has blessed us with a big 6 room house..." "Received $10,000 in a financial blessing". "God made it possible for us to buy 17 acres of land..." "The Lord has healed my throat".
So I figured I'd try it out. Actually I just looked at the rug, respected it, and then put it on the ground -because I figured that's where rugs are suppose to go. Then I went back to opening the rest of my mail. Then I opened a letter from my car insurance company. I got $500 back from the car accident that happened last September. I don't know why I got an extra $500 -it didn't leave a note or anything saying why. Just a check. So I figured the rug worked so it said to pass it on or send it back to the church after filling out a prayer request. I had to check a box to say what I wanted to be prayed for.
Do I want people to pray for my health? No, my health is good.
Do I want people to pay for my finances? The could be better but it seems like a pathetic thing to pray for.
So I checked the box that said I wanted to have closer relationship with Jesus -because it's pretty true. I wonder what I'll get in the mail next...
JOB
So a woman working at my dad's company named Kim just changed jobs. Her job just opened up. She was sort of in marketing. Being that I work with Alex who is in charge of marketing to come up with brochures, GUI designs, and web pics for our products she thought it would be good give me a test run at the job for the next month to see if it's a good fit. So far it's looking pretty easy and things are flowing along smoothly. I'm working on a LOT of graphic design stuff right now which is pretty great. My dad is out of town for another week on vacation. There's no more work to do in "production" aka putting displays together and I only ship stuff out on Thursdays so this week is looking to be very Artastic.
CAR ALARM
My stupid car alarm keeps going off in the parking garage a my appartment. From my window I can click the lock button on my keys to shut it up, but I don't know why it keeps going off. I suspect that my trunk hasn't been closed all the way. Will inspect further later. (Also Oakdale was fun, got to see Chelsie and chillax -but the part for my car that it sort of needs has to be ordered so I will be returning back there next Saturday to get it put in my car).
