Dear NakedSanta,
I hope this letter finds you ok. This is Felis Violaceous, formally "thenakedredhead". You have visited me each year and I want to express my hope that you will be able to visit with me again this year!! :)

This year I've been a very good girl. I've posted fairly often and though some of it's been rough, a few have been rather "fun" postings. My wish list is for only one thing: a paid LJ account. I have many loverly LJ icons that I hope to keep using for my posts. And I would really not like to have the advertisers steal my screen space; I mean, how rude can they get...you know?

Thanks again for your gift last year and I hope you will visit me again this year!!

Luv,
FelisViolaceous

"Let them eat cake!"
Last night, Zenhedon and I went to a warrior princess and clown play party. I didn't really have any warrior costumes that I could still fit into, but wasn't sure how to do the clown costume either. But I got great idea and decided to wear my PVC dress and lilac Marie Antoinette wig and just make up my face clown like. We'll be gothic clowns. Zenhedon wore a gothic vest with black pants and his purple tophat. He looked YUMMY!!!! ( Pic behind cut... )

WHAAA????
No Facebook???? No pirates???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Current Mood: annoyed

Ok...blunt and tactless moment...
Probably shouldn't be saying this but...whatever...

( Really depressed shit... )

Current Mood: what...ever!!!!

WELL CRAP...:(
Just found out Patrick Swayze just passed away. :( :(

The best movies I remember him in were "Dirty Dancing" (my FAVORITE) & "Ghost". "To Wong Foo..." and "Father Hood". He was a perfect fun, mostly safe ;), rebel. Will miss him.

Current Mood: sad

I guess my crankiness from this morning was my warning...
So...I came back from lunch and popped my head into Manager's office to just ask the simple question of "so how's the at home coming along?"

Her response was, "we need to talk."

I got told that there's been some "concerned" people coming to her about how I've been "vocal with my frustrations" of still being a lead when I resigned back in August. She told them I will hang in there until the replacement is trained...which, 1st replacement won't be starting until the 21st and I'll be training her for the rest of week. Making it where I won't get to be a no longer a lead until the 28th at the soonest.

I assured her I will stay on as lead until replacement is trained. I just said the first leads name, I did not say the second lead's name. I better not have to train her or that will equal another 2weeks minimum!!

As for the at home...it's been stalled out. There's been too many computer and phone issues with the at homes, including an issue that came up today that was so bad that the at home agent came into the office to work, and manager wants to have them running smoothly before adding more at home agents. She says she wants the two at homes to be not having issues for at least 2 to 3 months before trying to add agents. Though Manager did say that I'm still eligible for the at home (which makes me quite happy that she is still seeing me get the position), my pessimistic side is totally taking over and thinking I'll be lucky if I get to work from home before my birthday in March!!!! That is if they don't call it a wash and don't offer it out after all. But, of course, the two that already have it will likely get to keep it and I will be JEALOUSLY HATING THEM FOREVER!!!! And will never be able to trust Manager again. Her lie that I was 4th best just doesn't fly and I know they didn't pick me because I was a lead and they couldn't afford to let me just leave like that. If she had said that from the beginning then trust wouldn't have broken but hindsight 20-20.

Is there anything FUN happening this weekend???? I need to get out and stop thinking!!

Current Mood: cynical

First lead replacement won't even start until the 21st!!!! Then I have to train her for that week.

Guess I've got another four weeks of daily drinking and crying fits.

Current Mood: defeated

Did I agree to waiting until you have replacement????
My bad!!!! What I should have said is "this is my two week notice for stepping down".

So...back on Aug. 17th, I turned my resignation to step down. They asked if I could hang until they find replacement, that it would take about two weeks. I was trying to make it to end of Aug. anyway so I agreed. But then boss went on week long vacation and didn' do interviews until Wed. and Thur. this week!

Surprisingly, they picked quickly and we have three new leads. One to replace the one at the other site and two for over at my site.
So, I go to my supervisor and ask about what the plan will be for trasitioning. They haven't figured it out
yet. REALLY??

Then I see the post for the application for the two specialty team's positions being vacated by the new leads. The app. due date isn't until the 9th. Interviews will likely not happen untill following week. And if, IF they finally let the new leads start the following week they may dangle that carrot in front of me with...well now you have train them.
So, my pessimistic mind has just made my two weeks I'm finally free tunnel go to more like to nearly 6 weeks!!

These last three weeks have NOT gotten easier either. In fact, since word went out that I'm stepping down, I*e been getting way more attitude from my team members. What little, tiny respect I had before is completely gone now...and yet they still come to me with their stupid ass questions!!!!

Current Mood: aggravated

Woodstock...Flipside...
What if we could actually semi-recreate Woodstock.

Yes, I know, Flipside is already a mini-Woodstock. But what if we actually theme this coming Flipside, 2010, Woodstock. We have the hippie soup happening, we have the volunteered food givers and medics and safety and we I'm pretty sure there is a lot of campsites where people can feel safe enough to get through bad trips in.

So...how to make it more Woodstock???? Well, theme would be more psychedelic, trippy, hippy, 60's. And, this recent year, 2009 proved we can have a stage as part of the effigy. So...one of three things could happen on the stage...have a bunch of cover bands playing the songs from Woodstock, having a stereo playing songs from Woodstock, or having the DJ's from the dance camps playing their songs, or heck...a mixture of all three...allll weekend long. Though, I would rather listen to Woodstock music at 3am than the rap music. :)

True...sleep may be a bit more difficult...but Woodstock didn't stop their music. And for the noise ordinance, we just make sure it stays just under that. Like I said, we had bands play on the upper field last event with the stage on the effigy. :)

What brought this up is that 2009 was the 40th anniversary of Woodstock just happened. Now, we could have done Flipside that way in 2009, but that would be months before the actual event. So, if we go on the current timeline, 2010 is the perfect year to celebrate the 40th year of Woodstock.

So, how does one sugest the theme to Flipside. ;)

Subtle signs
Dream: Second, permenant, handfasting-year&day finished.

Wake up to song on alarm: "Always something to remind me"

someone in dream has tattoo of infinity on ankle

Flash of 44 which seperated is 4 + 4 = 8 equally infinity again.

occasional flash of 69 = yin yang

Second song on alarm after snooze: "greatest time of my life"

Third alarm attempt: DJ's talking about their old classic cars, actual first words: "You have to keep this car..."

I went to bed last night feeling really down on myself and thinking to myself that I'm not the same woman I was when we married. Why is he still with me????...I'm bitchy, whiny, fat, depressed, over-reactive, yells alot, and an all around not a happy person. It's nice to know that the Universe says I'm on the right path with him, just hope he gets the same subtle signs about me.

I LOVE YOU ZENHEDON!!!!

Current Mood: optimistic

Wanna go shopping?
I've seen a style of dress that I want to have. The style is Maxi Dress.
So...I am wanting to go to the Domain this Saturday and visit the various small stores as well as the big ones, Macy's and NiemanMarcus' and see if I can find one. It would be nice if I had some friendly, fashion savy company with me. :D

Come on...it'd be FUN!!!! :)

Edit: I've been to Target and Kohl's and it seems that if I want the wrong shape or size in solid colors or paisley (severe dry heaves happening now), then all will be well...but appearently if I want something like this picture...I gots to open the purse a little wider. Only the rich are allowed more and prettier variety. ( examples: )

Didn't chicken out...
Got to talk to floor super and manager. Took all of 5 minutes. They didn't really react a whole lot and didn't even try to change my mind. They made it almost too easy.

They did ask if I could hang for another couple of weeks until they find a replacement and I agreed. So, at end of Aug. I'll be a scheduler again. Now the next question will be "How long before they think they can trust me to work from home?" I probably just screwed myself for that. :(
