Work... I'm back...unfortunately

Went back to work Friday, as my medical leave ended. It's been rough, in many ways. i had 10 days of not-so-much on my feet, now I get leg cramps from standing after 3-4 hours. Everyone has questions, where have I been, What was wrong etc... Thats hard to tell so many people. I told a few friends while i was off to tell everyone before i got back so i could have less to say. But I guess it didn't get around so well.

Infact one of my supervisors only figured as much as I was preggo, because before my leave i was sick and he suspected it morning sickness... and when I came back he asked why i was so down. And another one was on leave for death in her family and same thing, only 1st thing she said to me was "congratulation" which was painful and i broke into tears on the casino floor and she dismissed me for a break.

I guess I have some kind of post traumatic stress issues. For as short of a time as it the loss was/is still hard.

I work with a gal who is quite preggo, maybe 2 months to go? and I have a hard time talking to her now.

One of my crafty friends had a baby on easter sunday, and I was unaware, I just went to hang out and found out she had the baby and I had a hard time at her house, but her new baby is so sweet. It was hard but I stayed and visited as long as I planned to before I knew. We cried a little bit together, I don't know if that was good or bad. She didn't know why right away because all the happenings with her and her new baby she forgot what I went through. I understand. I hope I can still handle going over there to visit. I don't want to see things fall apart because I am a mental case.

Work is hard tho- it should be helpful to keep busy and be around people, but I really don't want to be around anyone but close family.

I wish I could sue someone for this stress!

Telling the wrold

I guess I will just tell everyone... in the world...who reads this.

I am going to spare the details and crap, to spare my own heart from further aching.

The so-called illness/reason for my recent medical leave etc is...

I had a miscarriage.

ok moving on... I'd rather not talk about it or think about it too much. Please just take it for what it is.

Green Beer

Happy St Patrick's day. All of the world is drinking green beer!

There was a group of 5 girls playing craps at 8 this morning, all drinking green beer.

My box person at the time said he thought he might go get a green beer or 2 when he got off work. Then Jeff who was on stick, interjected that it make other things green. He wasn't talking about pee! and he went on and on about it LOL... So the guy on box said "well then, I think I will just go home then!"

Now they had everyone thinking about bright green poo!

Just another day, of course

I am still waiting on my 1st official client for my Custom Scrapbook Service. Also available thru Ebay.



And in the mean time, at work today, something slightly funny happened.

We have a fairly new dealer by the name of Alvin. well one of the other dealers keeps doing THE "Aaaalvin!" from Alvin & The chipmunks cartoon/movie (what ever generation you relate it too). And finally this player, ok the only player, blurts out "OK WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT?" Seeing the dealer was on stick and the player next to him, I couldn't make too much fun at the player- So I just said "It's his name!"
The player laughed and commented with "I thought you all just thought he looked like a chipmunk (whilst making a gopher-like face with buck teeth). And we all busted into laughter.

Bored with this place

I am bored with work, the strip, all of it. I'm waiting to become a dual-rate... only god knows how long this will take.

ON the side, I have engaged in a new endeavor.
I am starting a CUSTOM SCRAPBOOK SERVICE. I'd love to be a personal scrapbooker. I know one very inspiring nice lady who does this. This is right up my natural born alley! I am a very artsy-fartsy creative type!

So if you are interested in getting me off the ground in this, lets talk! I NEED a 1st client, would love return-customers with on-going business relationship!

All I need is a developed roll of film from any occasion, or maybe of pets, or places.... what ever you like to take pictures of! And you can write little blurbs about the who-what-when-where-why-how-etc for me to transfer into computer generated journaling.

Interested? I've posted a listing for it here: www.studiojcards.com
but I don't have my sample pics up yet. I should have some up by the end of tomorrow (Wednesday).

C'mon you know that you still have those Hawaiian vacation photos still on the SD card in your digital camera! Have them printed at Walgreen's at put me to work!

We need each other!
