so here's the low down....

I started my new job on the 27th of october (Happy birthday present Michelle!!!!). i had been there for a few days or so when i realized my breaks would need to be replaced in my saturn. i didnt want to replace them if i was just going to turn around and get a new car. i had planned on getting a new car back in january, but things didnt work out. so i have driven Louie (my car has a name, i'm not the only one....)
so after roughly about a week of research last week, my mom and i went to go look at a car. and the saga begins....
so the car description online said that it had air conditioning, was a 5 speed manual, etc... when we went to drive the Aveo, we found out that it didnt have air conditioning. we took it for a test drive anyway, which was interesting because neither me or my mom had driven stick shift in years.... (Michelle was in the car with us when we were driving and she thinks that it was dangerous and scary....) we took the car back to the dealership and decided we would go elsewhere (my mom had a few different eyes out at different dealerships we have done business with in the past, so we decided to check out some other options.
we were just at the next dealership over (Central Avenue in Toledo is one big car lot! at least 10 different dealerships in a 1 mile area) and we get a call back from Mike (the guy that showed us the aveo with no air) and he had a car for us to look at... he was ubber excited about this one....
long story short, we were able to get the car so....

I have a newer car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Printer?!?!?!?!?

Can it be true? I'm getting a new printer at work?!?!?! I realize this might not be as exciting for you as it is for me. but what you must understand is that I have the oldest computer at work... by like 3 years or more (and in computer age, 3 years is a long time!) I've only been without a printer for like 3 days at work, but even when I did have a color printer, it didn't print on cardstock which ment I couldn't print the business cards, or the time cards. Now I can print color things at my desk that I would either have to have someone else print, or I would have to print them on the other side of the building, meaning I would have to go to the other side of the building, load the correct paper product in the printer, go back to my desk to hit the print button, back to the printer to collect the printed items, then back to my desk to do whatever I had planned on doing with it. (that is if I remember what I was going to do with it)

I am His. As I pulled into camp today, I was listening to some LDS Hymns. When I pulled my car by the lodge, these words were sung: Fear Not, I am with thee oh be not dismayed for I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand up heals by my righteous omnipotent hand.

Rough Day

I can't say it's entirely been rough... just the last 20 minutes. The rest of my weekend was great! (that's for a happier blog post later.) As I was on my way home from a birthday party, I realized tomorrow is Monday. I have to go back to work tomorrow. And I don't want to. Going along with that is I'm sick of my job and I'm sick of complaining about my job. I'm grateful for the ability I have to work and provide for myself. I really am. But this last year, it's been really rough. Between a new boss and new rules and procedures I just dont want to be there anymore. I really dont! I'm sick of disliking Sunday nights so much because I know what the next day will bring. Frustration, anxiety, loathing, genereal dislike, feeling underappreciated. I dont know how much more of this job I can take! I was so worked up about this on the way home that I was crying. Then when I walked in the door of my house, I was to the point of being angry. I practicly threw...
