Never Make the Same Mistake Twice!

 I know it has been a minute since I made a post, but preparing for my Baby Girls first Christmas really got the best of me.  Everyone kept telling me not to go all out for her on Christmas because she is too young to know what is going on...well let me tell you...'They were WRONG!"  My Little Princess was well aware of everything that was going on; she did not know which toy to play with first.  She was from toy to toy; and the paper...oh my goodness did she love the paper! But on another note..my Christmas was horrible!  Again my husband got it all wrong.  Now I asked for a couple of high price items...but hell I think I am worth it...I mean I did just give birth to his child.  But do you wanna know what he got me instead....do you really wanna know??? some damn slippers and some perfume!!!are you freaking serious???? Yes ya'll he got me f***ing bent!  When I asked him "what the hell is this sh*t."  He gone tell me that I can order my machine after Christmas because it might be on even more sale.  Ya'll it took everything in the world for me not to go the f*** off.  I was upset because I just knew that this time he would get it right, but no...he continues to get it wrong.  Now I know that I married the cheapest man in the world; but damn ya'll, something gotta give! When I told my best friend about it she asked me what was I going to do, her asking me that question gave me the power that I needed to do what I gotta do. You see first of all I never truly counted on him getting me what I wanted, but hell, I did think that this year he would do a lil better than what he has done in the past.

So after I gathered my thoughts and pulled myself together, I had a long talk with myself and said "self remember the rules of life"

RULE #1  Never Make the Same Mistake Twice

RULE #2  Never Make the Same Mistake Twice

RULE #3 NEVER EVER MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE

RULE #4 When throwed off your rocker, dust yourself off and get back on

RULE #5  Reposition and Refocus and stay focused on YOUR prize

RULE #6 NEVER EVER EVER EVER MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!

Therefore,

I am going to set my site on doing what I do best which is writing and exercising (running)! I am going to write more about my life (journaling) and I am going to train for a 10K.  Maybe I will run in the Breast Cancer Race for the Cure.

So nope, I am not mad at my Jackass Husband (not anymore that is.)  And because my dumb ass have made this same mistake more than twice I vow to never make it again.  I will never ever ever ever expect anything else from him and I will continue to depend on myself to supply all my wants.

Here in the future I may be hitting ya'll up to sponsor me in "The Race for the Cure"  

    

I Owe Uncle SAM...Are You Serious

Why in the hell can't nobody do their job "right" anymore? After being on leave (off work) for a week I return back only to read this e-mail from finance:

This is a Notification of Indebtedness on your record due to overpayment of your Leave Taken, causing a debt on your record of $176.80  Please read and select one of the three options for closing out this debt.                                                

Your first option is to pay one lump sum by Dec 30th to the cashier's cage here in finance, bldg 977. You need to sign into customer service on the ground floor to complete necessary paperwork, before going to the cage.   The cashier cage hours of operation are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 0930-1100. These are the only times you can pay this debt by cash, check or money order. Please note that we are unable to accept $50/$100 notes at the cashier's cage.  I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause...(continues)

So you know I picked up the phone to call and see just what the hell was going on.  After being on hold for 10 minutes the individual came back and told me it was because I took more than 30 days of leave and that I don't get paid COLA (an overseas living allowance) if I am on leave for more than 30 days.  Of course my response was "no hell I wasn't".  So she gone quote me the days that I was on leave as if she was proving me wrong...

After "Miss KNOWitall" quoted me the days, I told her that I was on maturity leave. And this chick said "ok, but it was still more than 30 days". "So now you are charging me money to have a baby???...please put your supervisor on the phone" I responded. 

I had to talk to three people before they understood what I was saying (are you f***'n kidding me???). If that was not  good enough, they called me back to tell me to call and talk with someone else so that my paper work can be fixed. So I did, only to get a freaking answering machine...

As of now I apparently owe $176.00 to Uncle SAM for having my baby. Oh mind you...I had my baby 6 mths ago.   

My paper work was processed as ordinary leave instead of maternity leave, and until my paperwork is corrected I owe the government. All because people don't know how to do their damn job...correctly!  

Gotta love Uncle SAM and his EMPLOYEES!
