Am I missing something.....

Hey People!!!!  Hope you all had a good weekend. 

I'm a little peeved right now, because I still haven't heard anything from the management company about the pending foreclosure.   I called her and haven't gotten a call back yet and I still haven't gotten the letter that I was promised several weeks back.  I can't say that I'm surprised, but I can say that I'm PISSED nonetheless.

So I've been making phone calls and researching information about out rights and trying to get in touch with people to let us know what the next step is and what we can expect in the next month.  Every time I call somewhere they are asking for information about our income and then go on to tell me that based on our income we make too much and they cant provide us with any legal advice or assistance.  Ok, 1.  I'm not asking legal advise, I think my questions are pretty basic, 2.  I'm not asking to be represented by an attorney 3.  All I want is some resources or places that I can turn to in order to have my questions answered and 4. What the hell does income have to do with getting information about our rights.  I haven't been able to locate the # for tenants rights and when I asked for the # they couldn't even give me THAT.  Are you SERIOUS!?!?!  Seriously, am I being unreasonable, am I asking too much?  I really don't understand. 

I played hookie from work on Saturday, which I'm sure I'll be hearing about on Tuesday when I go back.  But, do I care, NOPE!!!!  Should I?  Yes, I'm sure I should and I know I should be grateful to have a job.  Especially right now with all these companies that are laying people off.  I know I could very easily be one of the ones that goes into work tomorrow only to be sent home.  I'm hoping that day doesn't come anytime soon.  I don't have any inclination that something like that would happen, especially with all the hiring they're doing right now. I'm just so fed up with my job right now. 

I told you guys about the position I applied for......  Well, they were coming and grabbing people that would not be considered for an interview the week of 10/27-10/31.  The last day for interviews was on 10/31.  They never came and told me I wouldn't get an interview so I was feeling really positive.  Then the 31st came and went and I'm like, ok....what's going on???  I was going to go and talk to the manager but then I was like forget it, they don't have enough respect for me to come and tell me one way or the other what's going on  then screw it. 

Finally on Friday,  one of the managers L.H came to my desk and was like "M.J one of the other mgrs would like to see you in the gray conference room."  I go to the conference room and M.J sits me down and starts apologizing immediately for not getting to me sooner.  Her excuse was that they could never catch me at my desk, or I was always on a call.  WhatEVER.  Just like they came and got me now, they could have come and got me then.  The ONLY time I'm not at my desk is if I'm on lunch or break which only accounts for an hour out of the work day. She goes on to give me ALL this praise and tells me I was highly recommended by my peers, I do excellent work, am a good team player am always willing to help on special projects always have great ideas and am well respected by the managers in my department......but because of my length of time with the company they would not being considering me for the position. 

She then says not to be discouraged and that they are going to be hiring in the near future and I should apply again then.  NO THANKS!!!!!  She said that there were 30 plus people that interviewed and many of them had been there for 5 or more years and so those are the people they chose to interview. Ummmm.... Ok.  So I have all these supposed qualifications, the only negative is that I've been there less time.  What kind of crap is that.  I WISH they would ask me to help on another one of their projects cause yall know what my response will be.  I'm going to politely tell them, I don't think I'm qualified due to the short time I've been with the company.  Freaking Losers!!!!! 

On the upside, I had such a fabulous birthday weekend.

My Hubby , is the most wonderful husband and I love him for wanting to make my day special.  My poor sweetie didn't get off work until after 6 on my birthday, and keep in mind he's up at 4:30 and out the door by 5:30 at the latest everyday. I know he was exhausted, but he was like it's my day and it's about me and what I want.  How could you not love that.  So we went to Benihana for dinner.  That was one of the places I would always chose to eat at a majority of the times I would go out.  When we moved to Colorado I had been hesitant to eat there because state to state the shrimp sauce which I LOVE is different and they don't even have here in Colorado.  So Hubby surprised me and took me there and it was SOOOO good.  I hade the Benihana Delight and a Benihana Punch which I haven't had in a good 4 years or so.  This is only my 2nd or 3rd time drinking in over 4 years.  I almost forgot how good that stuff was.  No wonder I used to drink all the time.  He doesn't and has NEVER drank and he had a Mango lemonade that was so delicious.  I was thinking I need to try and figure out how to make it because that stuff was addicting.  I had my leftovers for breakfast Saturday morning.  UMMMM!!!!! 

What made the weekend even better, was that Hubby cooked dinner for me Saturday.  I got my gifts that evening, and I-tunes gift card (from him and the Kids), a JBL dock station thingy for my Ipod, a laptop desk and accessories for my lap top.  What a sweetie honey.  My daughter made me the cutest card/book for my b-day.  I love her little Artsy self.  Then teen Kid wasn't here for the festivities because he had a tour of CU Boulder where he's applied, and then they stayed for the Football game and ended up not getting back until after 7 because of silly kids and issues with the school buses.  Oh well.  So my Hubby made one of my favorite cakes, a pineapple upside down cake.  And it wasn't a box cake he made it from scratch yall.  

This was his finished product:

Yall, It was SOOOOO good, and it was a good thing that he bought a separate store bought b-day cake, cause you KNOW I didn't share this one.  He's making me another one this coming weekend.  Then he made Chicken Scampi from scratch and an Italian Salad with some great bread.  For a man that supposedly cant cook he throws down.  He used to not cook, but every time he makes a meal it comes out so good.  I told him he got that natural chef thing from his Daddy cause his dad is a remarkable cook.   Here's pictures of the rest of my meal.  

 This has him considering to do his Weekend cooking again.  I think my honey really does enjoy cooking, and would probably do it more if he had more time.  He's come a long way from his basic spaghetti to now.  I'm so proud of him.  He's going to mess around and have me have him cooking all the time.  Lol. 

Anyway, so begins another week, and I'm already looking forward to the weekend.  That's sad isn't it?  Have a good week!!!!!!
