Thank you for not saying Thank you.....

This seriously cracks me up...I giggle every time I read this email....I am NOT giving out who sent this....I am not making fun of this person...just makes me laugh....We use a group chat for help from the programmers at my job with client's issues. If we can't figure the answer out ourselves then we use the chat room to get some answers/help. We recently got this email.....


Reminder –

It’s really important that we keep conversations in group chat to a minimum, especially this week while we’re experiencing such volume. Chit chat makes it really difficult and time-consuming to follow the issues. More tickets are escalated to regulatory when we miss the rep’s initial question.

1. If you cannot resolve an issue within two iterations with the rep, ask that the rep chat you in a separate window. Three chats, you’re out.

2. Let it be known that we are hereby BANNING all smiley faces, thank you’s, you’re welcomes, and their variations (ty, yw, etc) and all unnecessary comments. We don’t have time for pleasantries right now.


Thanks very much. We’re having some fun now, right?

LOL yup that's right folks...they are Banning pleasantries! But wait...my Mom taught me to be polite! And now we are told NOT to? What to do...what to do!!!! Do what work says or do what Mama taught me!?! Oh Noes!!!!!

I'm not perfect but then again neither are you

I have debating whether or not to post this. The reason I am posting this is because I want to remember how I am feeling at this moment. I am not going into details and or give out names, because I am not trying to rat anyone out and or start drama with anyone.



First things first...I am not perfect...I am not going to admit that I try to be perfect either. I will admit that my family comes first. I love my friends dearly but my family will always come first. It became painfully obvious that certain family members do not want me apart of their lives. It makes me sad because I don't think I am such a horrible of a person as they are making me feel like I am. There are several (over the years) little things that have happened but something happened last weekend that wasn't anything huge but it opened my eyes up and made me realize I'm someone they don't want to be around. Normally I could care less, because the way I see it if someone chooses not to like me that's their choice and I move on but this time it's different, because the family is attached to my....Dad....I can't cut my Dad out of my life, I don't want to. I will admit that my relationship with my father over the years has been rocky. I am not saying it's all his or mine fault, I am just as guilty as he is. But I am trying to rebuild the relationship, I really am....it's going to take time...so it's baby steps. I want my kids to know their Grandpa...he loves them so much, Avery loves going to church with Papa. I think it's unfair that my dad is having to be in the middle of this. Richard doesn't know what to think he agrees with me that when we are around certain family members we feel don't feel welcome like they are having to put up with us being there. A part of me thinks I should try harder but a bigger part of me is afraid that if I do trying harder I am taking a chance of getting my feelings hurt again.

You can't choose your family but you can choose your friends. I love my family but I guess they chose not to be mine? It's out of my hands.

Famous Dad

So I was on my sister's FB and she had a picture of her and my Dad and someone commented about how she was able to meet Dr. Phil. I laugh because people have made the comment on how he does look like Dr. Phil, even more funny? Avery's my dad's first Grandchild....Dr. Phil's first grandchild's name is Avery as well! Ahhhh just to bad we can't have the money like Dr. Phil does huh? Oh to dream to be a stay at home Mommy! I love my Dad and glad he's mine....but it makes me giggle when people think that he's Dr. Phil!

6 Months Old Evan

I love my chunky monkey!

He LOVES to talk...the kid won't shut up! Screams, babbles...if it includes making some type of noise from his body..he will do it!

He can almost sit up on his own...he does for about 30 seconds before falling over

He is FINALLY sleeping in the crib....and sleeps all night (most of the time, unlike last night)

He think's Avery is the funniest person!

He does NOT like the cat.....at ALL

He's such a fun baby...I love making him giggle and smile, it makes my day! I love him!

Randoms

I have been married for as of today 1 Year, 1 Month, 1 Week & 1 Day! Hahahaha............

Today I got an lovely call at work. I had to put someone on hold. I told him I was going to do so, except I just muted my mic, that way if he needed to ask me something I could hear him.....well he didn't realize I was still there.....so he starts to call his "lover"

Him: Hey Lover..I bet you can't talk dirty cause you have a client huh? Ahhh yes....ok well I am on hold with (My Company's name) as soon as I'm done with this call I'm heading on over there...and starts to giggle...see you soon ok?

Yeah I'm pretty sure my ears are still bleeding.....that's what I get for not putting them on hold! Goss guy, plain gross!!!!!!!

Last night we took the kids to Mcdonalds for dinner to give me a break from making dinner and to let the kids run around like the monkeys they are. Evan hung out with us old folks for obvious reasons....Right before we left (this was the reason as to WHY we left) Toby comes up to me with his hands out....towards me...

Toby: Mom ewww..stinky poop

Me: WHAT??!!

Richard: (Snickering) He said stinky poop

Me: Yeah...I Heard him...Thanks...

Toby: Mom stinky poop and starts to put his fingers in my face.......

Me: NOT IT!!!!!!

Guess who had to go clean him up? Yeah...Me.....Thankfully it was his own Stinky Poop.....Seriously? This kid needs to finish up being potty trained ASAP...ewwwwwwww

It's a good thing he's CUTE!

This is WHY I Want A Girl

This is Regan...She is my great friend Brandi's little girl. Isn't she beautiful? I love boys but you just can't put them in dress's without people talking....blah blah blah! It may never happen....but kinda hope it does....Calm down! I'm not trying anytime soon!

30 Letters Day 29 The Person That You Want Tell Everything To, But Too Afraid To

I honestly don't know who to write this to, because...

1. I can't STAND drama.....you wanna cause drama...I will pretty much cut you out of my life almost instantly

2. If I want to tell someone something, I will...it might take a bit to figure out how to tell them what I want to say or if I need to gather further information to make sure I am asking the right questions or how to ask them etc etc...I have learned it's not good to hold something in especially if it's something that is hurting me.

So honestly there is not a single person I can think of to write this to!
