I have not made it any secret that I can not stand, Vicky, Brady, and Heba all season. Now there's one down and 2 to go!
When Vicky said during the weigh in of the ousted contestants that she wanted anyone to come back except Phil, and then they showed her alone interview when she said he was such a bad person and role model! HELLO WTF who is she to talk about role models? She's the one that said winning a video from her children wasn't important! SHE IS A CRAZY B****!
It's interesting that they have cameras there all the time and yet we've never seen any of these alleged instances where Phil has been talking about anyone! Personally I think it was just Vicky and Brady trying to stir the pot hoping to get people on their side so they wouldn't get voted off. I mean she's had no problems telling all of America that she is there for the money. A couple of weeks ago when she said that they were there to win and while it's admirable that some people may be there just to lose weight it's the money they're after! I wonder what she'll think of herself when she and her family sees the show! I'm sure she'll just say they edited it to make her look bad. Well I don't think that was to difficult!
In any case, I say you go Amy C from Michigan! She was right to stand up for herself, and her old team and Jillian will have her back! Besides lets just face the facts, as one of the previous contestants told me at the auditions, when Jillian has been on the show, no one from Bob's team has won! I'm just saying!
By the way when is the make over show? That's my favorite!

Insomnia!!
Yes I am posting this at 5am on a Saturday! I've been taking a new medication for about a week now and one of the side effects is insomnia, LUCKY ME!! I've actually been awake since 3am after about 2 hours of sleep!
Part of the problem today is this meeting at work this morning at 7am. I'm very conflicted about it. While I think it may be needed it was really needed weeks ago. You see the meeting/"training" today is going to be about 5 hours long and is all about the 2009 benefits for our Medicare Advantage plan that I work on to get ready for Annual open enrollment. The thing is the enrollment period starts TODAY! We've had the new material for a couple of weeks and have been taking calls on it for that long as well! This meeting was supposed to be a month ago and at that time it was very needed! My other issue is that because of open enrollment we are required to be open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm and being low man on the totem pole I will have to work a good majority of those Saturdays and Sundays, which I understand. However with the number of people who work with this product if everyone had volunteered to take a couple of weekends we all would have only had to work one weekend every 4 weeks or something like that. Instead the higher seniority said they would not and forced the 6 newest people and the new temps to take all the weekends between now and the end of MARCH! THANKS!
My other issue with today is that I had told my supervisor weeks ago that I could not work today because I had family in from out of state and she was fine with that. Then this meeting came up, last friday mind you, and while they said it was not manditory I felt like as a newbie I should be there to show I'm commited to my job. Even on Monday she reminded me this is not manditory and I had to open my mouth and say it's ok I'll just come and leave the meeting a little early. After much consideration, during my sleeplessness, I've decided I have to much to do today and if I'm going to be giving up most of my weekends for the next 4+ months, I'm not giving into not being able to work today! Even though I could use the 5 hours of OT!
Anyway, enough bitching about this, I've decided to take a stand for myself and have sent my supervisors a very nice email explaining that I can not attend the meeting!
PS I hope know one else ever has to deal with insomnia, it sucks and you just can't think straight!

Happy Election Day!!!
I've always loved Election Day but for some reason this year is even more exciting! Maybe because it's going to be a historic election no matter what the outcome!
No matter how you vote or who you vote for just get out an vote, and be PROUD to have that right!

Who turned out the lights?
I love changing the clocks back to get that little bit of extra sleep but what I really don't like is it getting dark so early! I came out of my office at 6:30 tonight and it was dark! It's so sad! I love the sun! How long until summer?
More on Election day!
This is in response to the comment on my last blog about the importance of the proposals and how neither of the candidates have amazing track records this year!
Absolutely we need to really look at the proposals, honestly I still don't understand what Prop 2 is really there to do! Stem Cell research is already legal in MI so I'm not sure what exactly the Prop is for! Can anyone explain it to me before the AM?
It took me along time to decide on my vote, I did my research and listened to both sides, I can honestly say I feel that I am making an informed decision tomorrow! Back before the primaries finished up I found this great website where you could answer questions about your views on the big issues and then it would match you up to the person who shared your views the most! I was very surprised when it matched me at like 91% with Obama, at that point I had NO intention to vote for him! I thought that was the most helpful tool I've ever used because it made me look at someone I hadn't even thought of before!!
Like I said before I wouldn't want to belittle or try to change any one's core values or beliefs but I do hope people make an informed decision tomorrow!

Don't forget to VOTE tomorrow!
This is my friendly public serivce announcement please do not forget to vote tomorrow! I am not here to try to sway anyones vote we are all adults who are capable of making our own decisions! The way I look at it if you don't vote you can't complain about the outcome!
That being said in the last 24 hours i've heard some interesting things, I have done my research and here are my findings! Barack Obama is not muslim nor is he middle eastern. He is of African and Irish decent. He is a christian, his father whom he only met once was muslim, from Kenya which is where his name is from. Senator Obama did live in Indonesia for a couple of years as a child but the last time I checked that was part of Asia! If anyone has any info that proves anything other than this than I would love to see it!
Again I'm not trying to sway anyone I just wouldn't want anyone to vote against someone based on lies!
In any case go out and vote especially my ladies out there our grandmothers and greatgrandmothers worked hard to get us that right!
