Caborca

I’m sick… Back from Caborca. It was a really long week. It went fairly well but of course there were the headaches.

One shed we walk in and he says that our system is shit and he doesn’t want to use it. I tell him the minimum requirements and then say let’s go. He gets all pissy about it and tries arguing with me that I’m mad AT him. Which I’m not mad at him I was just frustrated and ready to go. Apparently he was mad at the company as a whole because of something else and he was taking it out on me. Either way because of that I had to go back the next day and waste another few hours holding his hand.

A couple sheds didn’t have their hardware yet. All the people in LA’s fault. I handed them a pallet of over $20,000 worth of hardware. You’d think that they would track it a little better. Apparently it got to El Centro and then never crossed the border. So we had to waste time tracking those down and looking for them, etc.

Another couple sheds after we were there they called us back saying nothing works. We go back to the sheds and it’s because THEY had unplugged shit that we had told them NOT to touch! Ugh.

I got really annoyed with the two guys we were traveling with. First on Monday I saw them at 5pm at one of the sheds. Told them we were headed back to town and to call us to let us know what the plan was for dinner. Never heard from them. They told us breakfast was at 7am. They never showed up. Told us breakfast was at 7:30 one day. They didn’t show up till 8:30. Told us they had a meeting with a buyer. Found out they went to dinner with the rest of the caborca crew and left us to get our own dinner. Just the lack of communication was really frustrating. Plus one of them got me SICK! Ugh.

I’m so glad to be back in the USA and can’t wait to get back to LA. I really need to focus on getting skinny again. I’ve put on so much weight and I feel like shit in general.

We’re watching some fishing show right now..

Things with ECH are going good. The gang is finding out slowly. We’re “steady”. I’m excited to get back home and see him. He’s such an interesting boy. Still so much to find out about him.

I’m not sure if I can go to Austin now. Huge issues in LA while I was gone. The USDA came in and shut own our warehouse completely. Will have to see what happens when I get back on Monday. I hear that we are already back open which kind of sucks because it would have been a great way to get things out of GLC’s hands and show our CEO how an outside warehouse could really get things going better.

Red Rocks New Years!

So. We’re back from red rocks. I sucked at climbing. But I did do my first outdoor 5.11a! I clearly sucked at it. But it was done!

The trip was great overall. I got a little annoyed with someone at the end of the trip. He kept being Mr know it all. Which I hate. BTW. Ford did outsell Toyota by 200,000 units last year (2010).

We met up with Jay and Luke on day one. It was freaking cold. Climbed at Pantie wall did some stuff. I think I only did one climb that day. Went out for dinner that night somewhere. Was that new years? I can’t recall. Anyways. Day two and three we did the Gallery and the area up around the corner. It started to snow on the last day.

Not much to really say about the trip. It was another trip! Good times. It was great to see Tony again.

Back at work and things were crazy yesterday. I’m getting today off to a slow start. The HC West hotel has been resolved. So that’s good. Need to book it.

Going to Mexico on Saturday and then back in town for a few days then off to Austin! I suck at working in my office this time of year.

I’m out!

In Iowa

It’s been a bit since I’ve updated and so much has happened that I don’t even remember!

Got back from Mexico and EC and I went to the Wi Spa. It was very interesting. Lots of naked asians! There were only a few hot ones there. 🙁 We did the whole mens spa section hot tub, showers, I shaved, etc. We got an accupressure massage. I thought I was gonna cry. And we went to the desert in the 213 degree hot room! HOT! The next day my shoulders were KILLING me! It felt like I had done a crazy hard work out!

Went back to his place that night and spent the evening. Up early the next day and went home to work. I had a huge meeting on Tuesday morning that I needed to work on the presentation for.

I can’t remember what I did that night. Sunday I got up and did some stuff around the house and then went climbing with the gang. EC and I hung out after that and he spent the night? I think. I told you! I can’t remember these things. He says I need to start doing puzzles or my mind will go to mush.

Monday was a 13 hour day at work. Switched from Speakeasy to XO. Had a meeting with Trent, bitched about Julio, etc. Typical work day.

Tuesday was an alllll day meeting about Caborca. I did my presentation and got approval for the $5,000 to do a demo hardware unit. I’ve been having fun buying all that stuff today/yesterday. I hate that sales people are all basically checked out for the holiday! Ugh.

Tuesday night EC spent the night for sure! He came over late and let himself in. I don’t even remember him getting there but I remember all the heat he produced! lol. He drove me to the airport Wed morning. So nice of him!

Nikki from OC was on the flight, we chatted before boarding. I tried to save the seat next to me but someone else got it! 🙁 I dunno where she went too when we landed.

Mother picked me up at the airport. She drives so horrible! I remember when she taught me to drive she was a crazy ass driver. Now she’s like a 100 year old asian woman! Ugh I can’t stand having to ride with her.

Went climbing yesterday with Christy from St Loius. That was fun. She kicked my ass! Also climb Iowa is a bunch of nazi employees! Drove down to my grandma’s house after that and hung out for the evening. I fell asleep by 9pm! I really think someone is wrong with me. I’ve been so tired and unmotivated, plus I’ve been getting these really killer pains in my side sometimes I feel like they are minor heart attacks based on the pain! I dunno if I’m just depressed or if there’s something physically wrong. Ugh. Maybe I have cancer! lol.

Been emailing EC. It’s like the days of jason and I emailing back and forth all the time. He said “when you get back I’m going to ask you to go steady”. Made me think. I don’t really know him as well as I should considering how much we’ve hung out. Need to work on that. I was gonna try via email, but he was being slightly evasive. He’s a very nice guy. It’s weird how not my normal type he is though. lol

It’s christmas eve and I can’t get away from the idiots at the office. I need a new job!

Mexico!

So I’ve been in Mexico for three days now. I am so frustrated with these people. I don’t see how anything gets done!

Last year I shipped a pallet worth of computers (about $12,000) down here. It’s missing…

A few other sheds are “missing” other things. WTF. Where does this shit disappear too. My driver and translator are driving me nuts. The translator is super hot but he doesn’t know enough english to be effective. So I have to use my iPhone translator app to translate to him. Ugh! Plus they tell me the same fucking thing like 5 times. Yes I ALREADY KNOW that we are going back to Caborca and that we are doing Paulino tomorrow. THANKS! Also when I say “Officina Porfavor” I mean I want to go to the fucking OFFICE! Not the fucking hotel. (which is where I am currently and NOT where I want to be)

In other news, things are actually going smoother then expected. That’s good news. But then we haven’t started USING the system yet. This is all just pre-setup. I’m sure once we start with training things will go downhill. One place we setup yesterday. I got a call today that nothing was working. We go back there tonight and they had unplugged EVERYTHING and tried to set it up again themselves. WTF was the point of me even going if they were going to do that. And they didn’t even plug a SINGLE network cable back into the right place.

In other news… I’m kind of reluctant to write this cause I know he reads my blog, but at the same time I know I want to write it for myself when I’m 80 and going crazy.

Anyways. last time we were in bishop Gavin made a deal with ECH that he had to call two people and ask them out on dates… I kind of had a feeling I’d be one of them and I was… Which I was happy about.

I hated and I mean HATED ECH when I first met him… I never really had a reason he was always nice, everyone else loved him, but I just had a grudge or something against him. Sophia and I had many many talks about it and I could never really figure it out, she kept saying give it a change, maybe you’ll end up going out… Over the last couple months we’ve been spending a lot of time together, he’s been slowly growing on me. About a month ago I texted SOphia after one of our climbing trips that ECH was on and I said something like. “ECH is really growing on me.”… A couple days later I txted her again. “I kinda wanna just call ECH and chat.”.

So anyways. He did ask me out. We went out last friday night. Dinner, Movie, walked through christmas lights and then he spent the night. I had a really enjoyable time. I’m a little hesitant and def wanna move along slowly though. I don’t wanna f-up the climbing vibe/group and plus.. It’s ECH! lol

Looking forward to the next date!

Headed back to Tuscon tomorrow and then LA on Friday. Can’t wait to get a few days at home!

Fucking BS!

I have to deal with so much fucking BS at my job every day. I can’t believe I don’t drink more. These people are so fucking retarded.

Two years ago I was demanded to put up Christmas music. At the time, we didn’t have control over the music we had so there was nothing I could do. I took a ton of heat and multiple demanding emails back and forth saying that we have to have holiday music.

This year, we have the control, so I put some up. “Baby, It’s cold out side”, “You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch”, “The most wonderful day of the year.”. Nothing to crazy.

As soon as I put it up, they bitched. Bitch bitch bitch. “It’s too loud” (the same complaint they had about out hold music before). “You can’t understand it because it’s the middle of the song”. Blahb lah blah.

I ignored most of them. I don’t fucking care. If it’s too loud then fucking hold the ear piece out from your head or don’t put it at 100% volume.

I called it from my desk phone, my cell phone, aaron called it, matt called it. It wasn’t loud at all! It was just fucking fine.

So they CCed our CEO. I replied back. “Don’t you have better things to do? Like sell asparagus?” And removed all hold music. Now it’s just dead air. Fuck them.

Also remember I was down here a few months ago. Installed that fucking Driver check-in thing. Well guess who followed me down here. GLC’s Julio with HIS fucking driver check in system. Yep. That’s right, so now there are two of them siting there. I guarantee you we got billed back for that computer, monitor, printer, and his trip down here. Fucking assholes.

They are such fucking idiots here. I’m so fucking over this BS. I’m also really fucking pissed that our company holiday party is 5 fucking hours long on a fucking boat on saturday. I fly back to LA on Saturday morning and have to be at this fucking office party all night. I’m missing out on 4 other personal parties. This is so fucking redic.

I’m in such a bad mood today!

It’s been so difficult for me to even get out of bed recently. I dread going to the office every day and dealing with this BS. Dealing with all these stupid requests from idiots who have nothing but time apparently to bitch about shit like hold music or other SHIT! Yet they claim they are so fucking busy all the time that they just CANNOT get things done that I actually NEED to get my job done.

The same goes for our management team. I have all these projects that they want done in a very short amount of time and NO FUCKING MONEY or authority to actually MAKE the projects happen. How am I supposed to get my shit done if I can’t MAKE it happen. No funding or authority = useless IT teams.

David has been txting me a lot. I tried to ignore him, but he sent me all these messages. I replied, we chatted via txt for a bit, then a couple days went by, he’d text me again, couple days, txt again. Ugh. I need to just call him and tell him what’s up. But at the same time I feel that things would fall apart if I did.

Other things have been happening. Climbing, I’ve been getting better… Finally! Still no boys, no dates, etc. Been having feelings for a new boy though who’s in the climbing group. Not a good idea to have those though. We all saw how well that worked with Morgan and Davey. lol.

Invited some random to the last climbing night. He was creepy as all hell!

UGH! I want to just go home and drink and cry on my couch.
