Customer Service?

OK, I hate the answering services that tell you that you are important, but all the lines are full. This one doesn't even have music, just an impersonal voice coming on the line occasionally to say that my call is important.
Not important enough to answer the call!

Alright, enough ranting.

Anywho, wish I could get out of the house and do something. Seems like I only care when the kid is with me and I can't go anywhere easily.

I'm reading this book...something about getting anyone to do anything you want, and never feeling powerless again.

Now, it actually makes sense. Some of it seems manipulative, but it all makes sense on some level. Not that I am going to do it.

But, one of the main points of the book is that "people want what they can't have". Why is this?
Can any of us ever be content. I thought we were not supposed to covet. Not that I follow the bible, but still, it seems wrong to me that we can never be happy.
On one hand, it might make us strive for better things for ourselves. But, what about being content? I'd like to be content. I am sure I am not the only one who would like to just be content with what they have. Of course, from my comment above about getting out of the house, you can see, even I want what I can't have.

Oh well, such is life.

I felt kind of dumb even buying the book, but it was one of those book club deals. Where I can find one or two books, but not 5 books. Damn, what do they want from me?
Oh yeah, my money.

Anonymous no more?

I might have to stop the anonymous comments. Apparently the only people who leave them are going to form snap judgements of me based on how I look, and since I can't go and read their blog or anything, it really doesn't seem far, since I can't even try to read their stuff and see if they are reasonable people. I have to assume that they are jackasses. What follows is the wonderful comment I read right before I left work yesterday and my response. I should have been the bigger person (HAHAHA!) and not said anything cause of course they replied again.

Today is the day, we break free.

Today I am 26 and 50 weeks and one day old. Which means in two weeks it will be my birthday. That's really what I was getting at, LOL. You know how people on TV are always having their birthdays forgotten? Not me, I inform people on an almost daily basis that it will be my birthday soon. There is no way they could forget. I look at birthdays like a special time for me. And I am all about me. Obviously. I hope the weather is like today on my birthday. I like rain in spurts. I like how fresh everything smells and I really hate it when it's too hot. I'm not sure how I was a summer baby, what with this hatred of heat. I work early that morning to get out of here early. Maybe go home and put some make up on and be lazy about getting ready. In any case, I will make it a good day. (I'm slightly embarrassed by this and NO ONE WILL MENTION IT EVER AGAIN, just so you know, but it's my blog and I feel the need to share.) Last night I spent entirely too much time checking out...
