Things that can go wrong at work...

So, I'm the "answering service" for Mom's salon today. Little did I know, when I got here, there would be multiple things to take care of... more than the usual. Normally when I come up here to answer phones when Mom and Mel are out of town, I answer the phone, put info in the database, make appointments, and file paperwork. Today, I've had to deal with more than that....

First, I got here and there was a note saying:



So, I tried to close out the machine and it wouldn't work for me either. So I call mom. She says to call Tommy, the guy who takes care of our machine. He said to call the 1-800 number to talk to a person to get the problem fixed. So I called and got to this automated system where it was telling me to enter in a credit card number. I hung up and tried again. Same thing happened. So I called Tommy back. He told me what to listen for. 3rd time's a charm! I finally talked to the person at the company to fix our machine. He had to fix it twice... once for the credit card to go through, twice for me to close it out from yesterday. Oy!

With that out of the way, I decided to break down the protein. Got that done no problem. Then I realized I had to deposit a check and the bank is only open until 1pm on Saturdays. So I printed out a note that said:



But, after I set the alarm and locked the door... I realized from the outside, my note looked like this:



So, I left it like that while I ran (literally ran because it's next door) to the bank. I came back, unlocked the door and went to turn off the alarm. Apparently, I pressed the wrong button... the alarm went off!! I sat there pressing the code until finally it shut off. Man, that thing is intense! The security people called the salon and I had to give them the code word to let them know that I'm just an idiot and pressed the wrong button.

Man oh man! What a day! And it's only noon... Hope y'all have a great day!!

Engagement pics!!

So, Erin is the best photographer ever! Jeremy and I had Erin take our engagement pictures on Saturday, August 11, 2007. The pictures came out so well! I love them! I'm really excited about all this wedding planning. About 5 months from now, I'll be married!! I can't wait! Well, here are a few pics that I picked out to post. I can't wait to see the rest when Erin is done.

Ok, just kidding... I can't post pictures until photobucket is done doing maintenance to the site. Oh well. Keep checking for pictures to be posted!

ok... here are my favorites and Jer's favorites...

Quotes...

New quotes I came up with because of work tonight...

I'm not listing details or names or anything. I'm just venting.

1. Don't get mad at me when I tell you I don't know the answer. We're both adults here, let's act like adults. Especially since you're older than me.

2. If I don't know the answer now, I'm not gonna know the answer in 2 seconds, so don't ask.

3. Don't put words in my mouth.

4. Don't apologize for getting mad at me and then get mad at me again... a second after you apologized.

5. I hate those kind of situations!

Microwave Popcorn...

So, I'm at work and I went to the vending machine to buy microwaveable popcorn. I bought it and realized after it was done that I didn't pop all of the kernels. So I was looking on the bag and it said "Do not reuse to pop unpopped kernels."

I looked it up online and found:
Paper products and fire

Anantheswaran says consumers never should use paper towels, plastic wraps or wax papers that are not clearly marked as microwave safe. He also warns that some microwave packages shouldn't be heated more than once in a microwave oven.

"Sometimes consumers may reuse a microwave popcorn bag, but these materials are not meant to be reused," he explains. "Popcorn bags contain a special layer of material at the bottom called a susceptor, which absorbs microwave energy and enhances popping performance. Once the popcorn bag is used the susceptor will lose its ability to safely react to microwave energy. If it is reheated, the changes in the susceptor can cause it to burn."

Anantheswaran also warns that fast-food products wrapped in metal foils can cause sparking, which can ignite the paper bags used to package a take-out order.

I'm so glad I looked that up! Otherwise, I would have caught the bag on fire in the microwave at work!!

Busy Saturday

Ok, I think I have this blogging thing under control!

Today I'm working at the salon until 3. We have lots of people coming in today to get inches wrapped off! I want to get wrapped very soon if it's possible! My best friend who is my maid of honor are going to start a strict work out schedule here in the next month or so. I need to slim and tone! I just want to not have as many curves as I have right now. Nothing major.

Then I have to work on my take home exams for my Mathematical Analysis and Abstract Algebra classes. My professor keeps giving us extensions on when our take home exams are due. I have no problem with this, except for the fact that it makes me procrastinate even more! I have this running thought of "well it's not technically due yet, so I really don't have to work on it today..." and so I put if off until "tomorrow." I want to get my Math Analysis exam done today because I've had that exam for about 2 or 2 and a half weeks. Oy!

Wedding planning is going wonderfully! I'm really enjoying the whole planning process. Jeremy and I have had 2 meetings and they both went well. I am having my first dinner party with my bridesmaids in a couple weeks!! Also, Jeremy and I will be (finally) getting our engagement pictures taken by the wonderful Erin! We are having those taken on my birthday. What a great present!

I'm gettin back to work now. Have a great day!

My first post...

So, I just typed a whole new post and my comp decided it would erase everything I typed!!! Ah! Anywho...

I worked today at Mom's business! She owns Slimming Hour Salon. You look like this when you're wrapped:



The Body Wrap™ Facts
1. The Body Wrap is safe, healthful and relaxing.

2. The Body Wrap Solution has the ideal ph for body skin.

3. The Body Wrap firms body tissue and visibly tightens skin, especially after weight loss.

4. The Body Wrap lets you determine where to slenderize hips, thighs, abdomen, etc.

5. The Body Wrap is not a "water wrap" or "dehydration" process. Inches lost will not return as long as you do not gain weight and get in a few times a year for a maintenance wrap.

6. The Victoria Morton Process has been used in over 4,000,000 wraps and has taken more than 1200 miles (in inches) off our patrons!

Just a little advertisement for Mom's business!!

Now I'm going to hang with Jeremy at Erin's and Rob's new house! Yay!
