Wow

Thank you so much for this, boi. I think I'm going to make this a policy and have it posted as an announcement. I appreciate it

The sad thing is that I probably have another drama coming up tomorrow It's with someone who absolutely HATES me because I don't go along with everything I say. But I have something for her tomorrow

Okay, so I'm working my way to get back into shape. It is holiday season and that is always the most dangerous time for me. I am getting back into my diet because we are having a Holiday Party for my company and I would like to wear a nice dress for this event. Of course, if everything goes great, I will have found another, better paying job, and I won't have to worry about that But that's another story. So I'm watching what I'm eating. However, I do splurge a little bit on my breakfast and I refuse to compromise I love to go to Subway and get the Western Egg and Cheese on flatbread. This is what it looks like on a wheat muffin: It's egg white, green peppers, and onions. I actually don't get cheese (I can do without), so I add jalapenos, mustard, and just a small helping of ranch. And I have it ready on some flatbread. It's nice and spicy and wakes me up in the morning. However, the jalapenos don't help my case to prove that I am not, in fact, Hispanic But I think I'll update this with more of what I eat and what I make whenever I'm bored lol. What to take from this blog: I am dieting, even though I'm splurging with the ranch a bit. Moderation is key Much love, Angie

Putting people in their place when they try and get cute. So yesterday at work, I received an email from one of the temporary agencies that my company utilizes. The agency rep wanted to know the status of a few invoices that were billed to our company. She had also cc'ed her boss on the email, who is the Branch Manager of that area. I informed her that from my understanding, the checks for those payments are on their way and she should be receiving them soon. The Agency Rep politely thanked me for my response and left it alone. Her boss, the Branch Manager, however tried to get smart. She responds directly to me and said "What does on the way mean exactly? Was it mailed can I get a check #?" Now, my initial reaction was to tell her off about her poor grammar since I am a customer of hers and I know she needs our company's business because my company is a big account of hers. But I decided I was going to leave that funky email with the poor grammar alone. Until... she realized who she sent the email to and tried to recall it. I received an email notification that the Branch Manager wanted to recall that recent message and I received the notification with HIGH importance. I then realized that I was going to teach her a lesson. Don't try to be all rude and sassy with me, and then try and delete your evidence. That just doesn't work. SO I denied her request to recall that message. What's even worse is that after I denied her request, she tried to recall the message AGAIN. So I did the first thing that came to mind, and I hit "Reply." In my response email, I cc'ed her subordinate, the polite Agency Representative, and I also cc'ed MY BOSS, the Human Resources Manager; the HR Manager is the one that makes decisions regarding our choice for temporary agencies and she comes from a customer service background. So in my email, I broke it down for her. I informed her that I received the information regarding the invoices and the adjustments that were appended to the invoices two weeks ago. I told her that in case she forgot, our Accounting Department takes about two weeks in issuing checks and if she and her team were more efficient in sending me the adjustment, they'd have their check by now. I also told her the date the invoice was posted in the Accounting software system, and I informed the poor dear that "on its way is exactly what it means: it's on its way. And no, I don't have a check number. I hope I have provided you with sufficient information, but should you have anymore inquiries, please do not hesitate to let me know." It took her about an hour to respond to my email, in which she simply thanked me and said that she will do the best she can to be more efficient. Lesson to be learned: If you're going to be a bitch in a professional environment, PLEASE be careful who you're dealing with. The poor dear was so shocked when she saw my reply, the Agency Rep was calling me apologizing. So needless to say, I had some fun yesterday Much love, Angie

Much better. You can barely tell there's a line there.

Keep working on it honey

Here it is.

You didn't send me anything today. You sent me a PM yesterday. That was after you said you were going to work on the color blend in this thread. I received it and it still didn't look right. That's why I put up CND's design. He send me his after you sent me yours.

Yea. I put it up before I put up this one.

CND did both of the banners. When I tried the grey banner Game created, it still didn't blend.

The Cookie Monster's face is how I look like whenever I see a lot of chocolate or cookies

Hell if I know. They do it almost every year. It's always someone who's been in the music industry for 15 decades, has an album out, and gets nominated for Album of the Year. Nobody ever really considers them as a strong contender and people look at who's Hot at the Moment, and the Grammy goes to the older more established artist. That's why I was surprised that Taylor Swift won. Usually it's someone old.

Someone old that has only sold about 3 copies of their most recent album will be nominated for Album of the Year and may actually win.

I use to have a crush on J-Boog.

:lol:

I think the grey banner needs to blend a little more but I like it. I may actually rotate banners depending on how many I receive.

The scene with the kids was heartbreaking. I had to hold in my tears. I also had to hold in my tears with the rape scene. There were a couple of things I didn't like: that fucking violin every time someone got emotional. Just don't play any damn music. Also, when the kids were about to be dropped, it looked way too fake. I couldn't cry because of that technical aspect

Loretta Devine was just divine in this movie. Janet was great. I was moved when she said "I loved you on purpose," because it reminded me of a previous relationship. And when Katina was messing around and Janet gave her that "Bitch, I will fire you" look, I died Kimberly Elise was AMAZING. Thandie Newton was hilarious. I loved her. I love Phylicia Rashad just for being her.
