Happy Mother’s Day- I Thank God For Giving Me The Mom I Have-Even If She Is Nuts.

And yes, my Mother and I joke all the time- in fact, we’re the only two who laugh at some of the things we come up with, like my impression of a restaurant owner that would probably get me banned by everyone, even though it isn’t what it sounds like-trust me.

In honor of my Mother, who has put up with more crap than a pig farmer in July, (I have no idea what that means), I love you. We’ve some how made it through more than anyone will ever know.

Although She Says I'm Not A Disappointment-For My Mommy

Maxine and Easter.

Before I post my annual Maxine Easter ‘toon, I would like to confess. My mother, being, well my mother, bought a chocolate/peanut butter egg for me yesterday. Yes, the Easter Bunny still visits me, even at the age of 36. Sue me. This isn’t the issue, though. What did I do with the 5000000000000 calorie egg? I ate the whole damn thing in one day. That’s right, in one day, I woofed down a chocolate/peanut butter egg that weighed, oh, I don’t know, 1/2 a pound? Not in one sitting- no, I nibbled on it until it was nothing but crumbs at the bottom of a box. I had nothing else to eat and drank a lot of water, but let me say this- I never want to see, or eat another one of the freakin’ things again. Ever. Happy Easter all- enjoy Maxine.

Stress, Maxine Thursday And I’ll Return Tomorrow.

No, I haven’t posted in a couple of days. Life happens, even mine and I really haven’t had the time to perform my duties as a blogger. To those of you from EntreCard who have paid me in credits to write about your blog- I will commence doing so in the morning.

The money issues have me uptight and slightly stressed, since I found out I won’t be getting paid until March 15, and not March 10 as I was first told. I wasn’t aware the check would be mailed from Missouri so I have to wait several days for it to arrive. I’ll survive-thank God for pennies.

In the meantime, here is Maxine, and her take on stress. Enjoy.

The Tech World Is Full Of Testosterone.

maxine on waking up in the mornings By 5pm yesterday, I had the urge to scratch my privates, spit and look at breasts. Yes, I started my new job and guess what? For now, I’m the only female in the building. I do know another woman was interviewed yesterday and 2 others haven’t moved from the old office yet, but come on. Oh, and there is one bathroom. What am I going to do if I have to do the, well, female necessities thing? Take a deep breath, Beth, it’s a damn good job and I better get the raise I was told about in 3 months.

Yesterday consisted of me and another new guy sitting at terminals learning how to take pizza orders. I know one thing- I could never work at a Pizza Hut, especially one in Canada. Those Canadians have more toppings than we do in the US-I was surprised I didn’t see moose as a choice. Overall though, the day was semi-productive. I’m having to re-learn networking since it’s been so long since I’ve used any of my “knowledge” and wouldn’t you know it- the guy training with me went to college for Information Systems. He never said he graduated, but I can bet my butt he’s getting paid more. I’ll show him who’s more intelligent. Me.

I apologize for not responding to comments last night, but DreamHost, the best damn web host in the world (insert sarcasm here), had hardware issues with the server this site is hosted on. After 2 hours of waiting, like the tech guy said to do, I gave up, went to bed and woke up at 3am. This is going to be one hell of a long day. Thank you, Xanax and I believe I’ll drive through McDonald’s this morning and get an iced coffee. I need a kick if I’m going to last until 5:30pm. Now, I must shower, do the makeup thing and hair. I was planning on shaving my legs-but screw it, I’m not expecting I’ll have to take my jeans off for anyone. At least I hope not.

I also had extreme blogging withdrawals yesterday. I need an intervention.
