12:30 pm - Boring book & New book
Well, I finished Stephen King's "Gerald's Game" today. It was totally boring and didn't scare me in the least. I was quite disappointed. Hopefully, with all the good advice I received from everyone, the next S.K. book will be better.
Now, on to my new book. It's not a novel but more of a dictionary. It's title is "A Gateway to Sindarin" A Grammar of Elvish Language from J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings". It has a history of Sinarin; the sounds of Sindarin; words and names and a Sindarin-English & English-Sindarin Glossary. It has much more but those are the important elements. I can't wait to get into it!

06:47 pm - Stephen King Books
OK, so I'm reading a Stephen King book, "Gerald's Game". I'm about 1/3 of the way through it and I fully expected to be scared silly by now, but...nothing! It's actually kind of boring. I'll finish it since I usually do, even if the book sucks, but I'd like the title of some scary Stephen King Books if any of you know about some. I've read Misery; The Green Mile; Carrie & Salem's Lot. Salem's Lot scared me so much that I wouldn't have it in the house when I was done! I'd like more like that, I think, well, maybe. Yes, I..I...definately would like that (gulp).
Let me know what you think.

05:00 pm - I'm being "Downsized"
Wal*Mart is streemlining their stores nationwide. What this means for me is that I get my title taken away and get an .80 cent per hour pay cut. Now I worked damn hard for that title and don't appreciate it being taken away. At this point I don't even know if there are going to be full time hours in the accounting office. They say it will be less stress for me but I think it's pretty stressful to get a cut in pay!
Once again I stress that Wal*Mart doesn't care about the little guy, they just care about the bottom line.

04:41 pm - Rain, rain, go the f*** away!
What a crappy day! I had to work today and when I go in at 6:16am it's still dark out. I work in a little office with no windows since it's a secure room. All day long I heard what a beautiful day it was outside so I was looking forward to getting out at 3:30 and still having some sun for an hour or so. It was sunny when I got out, but by the time I drove home (7 minutes) it was dark and had started to rain! That just bites! I have tomorrow off so, hopefully, it will be sunny. Or is that just wishful thinking?

04:32 pm - Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone! And happy birthday to Mom (79 but doesn't act it!). She's coming over for our big Christmas Eve bash, although by the time she gets here I'll be pretty well looped! It's the only time of year that I really let loose and I'm told I put on quite a show! Oh well, I've been so stressed at work lately that I need to blow off some steam. If you drink, don't drive!

04:48 pm - My job sucks!
Well, it's not really the job that sucks, but the management. I fell going into work today (Mexico Wal*Mart) on the cobblestone sidewalk. I hurt my right knee, right wrist and lower back. I'm not as young as I used to be so I'm pretty sore. When I got in the building and told the assistant manager in charge he said "Where's the salt?" How the fuck do I know! He never asked me if I was hurt, which pissed me off. So I figured I'd talk to the store manager when she got in about his negligence. I approached her when the assistant was in her office. I asked him if he would have said the same thing to a customer who fell down. He denied saying it and then said, "Well, I didn't say it to you." I told him he was looking right at me and the store manager said "I don't know why you're so upset, it's not his fault it's icy out there." That just floored me! Then she said "You know what he did after you told him? He went out and put salt down." This was said in a very sarcastic tone of voice. (I found out later that three other associates slipped in the same area, so he didn't go and salt a damn thing!) Then she went on to say that they were sooo busy last night, like I give a shit about that. Then and only then, did she ask me if I was alright. I told her no and that I wanted to file an incident report. Let me tell you that this is the first thing that they should insist on! So when you hear all the commercials about Wal*Mart being a caring company to work for you can rest assured that's a crock of shit! They don't care about the people that work for them, they care only for the bottom dollar!

02:24 pm - Ouch!
Ok, here's the story. Ron's secretary is thinking of getting a cat (her dog died about a month ago and she's not ready to get another.) Ron calls; here is the conversation:
Ron: Which kitten rides better? (We have two 5 month olds -Tom & Jerry)
Me: Neither one, they both hate it. Why?
Ron: The girls (his two secretaries) want to see them.
Me: But they hate to ride!
Ron: Ok, just put Jerry in the carrier unless you think I should bring them both.
Me: No, you shouldn't bring them both. They both HATE to ride.
Ron: I'm on my way! (Persistant, isn't he?)
So, I go to get Jerry to put him in the carrier. All is going well as I pick him up; all is going well as I take him towards the carrier; all is NOT going well as I start to put him in the carrier. Fur is flying, claws are digging, I am swearing and end up quite bloody! I let the f***ing cat go! At this point Ron comes home.
Me: YOU put Jerry in the carrier!
Ron: Um, I think Sheeba will go well in the carrier. (Which she does).
I'm going to go lick my wounds now.

04:56 pm - Crappy Day!
What a lousy day! I kept getting interrupted all day; people just don't realize how difficult it is to get interrupted while counting money. If it's not someone on the phone, it's someone at the door or I'm getting paged to go do something. I hate days like this, I don't usually let them get to me but today was just too much. Then I learned one of my friends at work got fired yesterday! That sucks so much, especially this time of year. I don't think it was fair the way they treated him, but it's the "Wal*Mart Way". When I heard that I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I usually really like my job, but not today!
So, yesterday our old oil company came and delivered some oil. I waited 'till the delivery man finished and then I called the company and asked them what was going on. I told them we no longer use them and that we had sent three letters to them stating this. They claim they have no record of the letters. They said they could either come and pump the oil out or sell it to us at a discount. I told them no to both and explained that it was their error. Someones supposed to call me back. Ahh, free oil!
Now I'm going to go have some eggnog and whiskey!

03:52 pm - Lord of the Rings
You Know You're Addicted to LotR When...
You start quoting from the movie as part of regular conversation.
You like to tell your mom that you are hungry by quoting: "Merry, I'm hungry."
She used to just laugh, but now she says, "What would you like to eat, Pippin?"
You continually ask your parents for second breakfast.
All the staff at your local cinema knows you by your first name and even before you open your mouth to speak, they say "Ticket for 'Fellowship of The Ring?'"
You hate Burger King food, butyou ate nothing else for a month to get the toys.
You've crammed up your computer's memory by downloading every single screensaver from www.LordoftheRings.net
You wander around the house in a knee length nightie, pyjama trousers and an unfastened dressing gown (to give you a train). You are trying to be an elf, and actually manage to forget that the nightie is blue with dolphins, the trousers have teddies on and the dressing gown is tartan.
Your Lord of the Rings shirt has not yet met the washing machine.
You don't have enough money to buy groceries for the next week before payday, yet you charge £50 on your credit card to get a three year charter membership in the official LOTR fan club. Who needs food anyway?
You refer to parts of your town as parts of Middle-Earth.
You wear hobbitish clothing as part of your normal wardrobe.
You sometimes let your hair go curly after a wash, and then run around the house in bare feet yelling "I'm a hobbit!"
You hate it when Elves are only thought of as 'Santa's little helpers' and have tried to explain the difference between Santa-elves and Syrian Elves to your 5-year old cousins.
You speak in Quenya just to annoy your friends.
You refer to regular elephants as oliphaunts.
While buttering a piece of bread, you suddenly think of Bilbo (remember when he was talking to Gandalf about feeling tired) saying that he felt 'like butter spread over too much bread.'
You renamed your car the Wraith-mobile.
You have a replica of The One Ring.
You are beginning to resemble a panda due to the fact that you've stayed up until 2 am reading and re-reading the great books.
You actually managed to read the Silmarillion without being tempted to give up on this whole middle earth malarkey.
You now have a lifetime fear of black horses!
You haven't removed the soundtrack from your CD player since you bought it.
You have sssudenly developed a hisssing lisssp every time you sssay the letter ssss.
You have looked both on the net and in the phone book to see if archery and sword fighting lessions are offered in your area.
You have begun calling your husband / wife / girlfriend/ boyfriend / animal or kid my precioussss.
You happily traveled over an hour to the next town to see "it" because that theater has a better sound system than the one 5 minutes down the road.
You have called every theatrical or specialty makeup company in town looking for pointy ear or hairy feet prosthetics.
You've worn your plastic "one ring" that came on your Legolas bookmark so much the gold is completely worn off.
You've begun drafting a letter to the Webster's dictionary people requesting that they include "Ringers" in their next edition.
At Christmas time relatives find you chatting with the tree and sharing eggnog draughts
Single ads with the description," short plump and big hairy feet" seem much more appealing.
You know The LoTR history better then your family history.
You have a mouse named Frodo, a bird named Gollum, and a dog named Gandalf. And that cat that keeps coming around to be petted is Legolas.
You know Elvish better then English.
Whenever something goes wrong, it's Sauron's fault.
When you sing in the shower, it's always about Gil-Galad or hobbit walking songs...
You know everything about Middle Earth geography, but you can't get someone from your house to the ice cream parlor. Now the nearest movie theater, that is a different story.
You think the names of the 7 dwarves from Snow White are: Gimli, Gloin, Thorin, Gili, Nili, Ori, and Bambour.
You have developed your own special Tolkien handwriting. "A firm, flowing script..."
Words like "Yrch" make sense to you.
You've become strangely obsessed with mushrooms.
Whenever you close a door, you say "They have a cave troll!"
When you come to a dead end you're still convinced that the road goes ever on and on.
There's a sign on your door saying "Speak Friend and enter!"
Whenever you get a chance, you burst into song. Preferably one that has more than 20 verses.
You change your name by deed poll to a Tolkien character and seriously consider naming your children after LOTR characters.
Every time you see birds in the sky you have the urge to say "Fly you fools!"
When someone knocks on your door you grab them, pull them inside and ask "Are you frightend?... Not nearly frightend enough!"
Your computer's screensaver is a marquee reading, "Ennyn Durin atan Moria: pedo mellon a mino" and the password is actually "mellon".

You stand in the doorway and tell your cat that he 'Can not pass'.
You wash your face in the sink and expect to see things that are, that have been or that will be.
Your wedding band has started to weigh you down with it's evil powers.
Spending $35 at the grocery store seems expensive but its Perfectly fine to spend $70 on the Hardcover LOTR book with Alan Lee Illustrations.
You start keeping a LOTR Journal to write poems and inklings in.
You face every difficult decision with the thought "now what would Gandalf advise me to do?"
You know what Entmoot, Ent draught, or an Ent is for that matter
