Sorry I'm Not Sorry

Months ago my Sister blogged a post titled "Sorry I'm Not Sorry."  I have been meaning to copy her for a long time and I have finally gotten around to it.

I know I have been MIA for the past couple of months.  My life has been a roller coaster and I have been kind of a disaster.  I have been angry, sad, happy, distant, loving and cold.  There have been many comments made most of which hurt my feelings, but today I'm Sorry I'm Not Sorry.

• I want to be by myself, I don't want company.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• My kids are the most important things in my life, no one else.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• I enjoy time to myself, like all by myself, no phone, no email, no texting, no talking to anyone.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• I can't relax if my kitchen counters are dirty.  Learn to deal with it.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• I cry.  A lot.  And sometimes it is for no reason.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• I finally like love makeup, cute clothes and jewelry.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• I put on makeup, fix my hair, and dress cute for myself, no one else.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• I love my family and I love spending time with them.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• I would rather have tea parties than go to the movies.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• I curse like a sailor, I can drink with the boys and on occasion I will take some of your Copenhagen.  Sorry I'm not sorry.
• Love me or hate me, I don't care.  Sorry I'm not sorry.

This next year is going to be a huge challenge.  I know this, there is no denying it.  But I plan to "own" who I am this year.  Love it or hate it, I am me, I won't let anyone make me feel guilty for feeling the way I do.  So you know what?  I'm sorry I'm not sorry.

I'm Really Not That Nice

The War Has Begun and I am winning!

You have probably heard me complain talk about the new prison that was just opened.  I was responsible for installing the phone system.  I have spent the last month and half at the new prison....literally every day, I contemplated moving in.  Since I have been there so much I have become part of the "crew".  I don't know if this is such a good thing or not, usually I don't like people to know who I am, they just need to know that I am a voice on the phone. 

There is one certain person who loves to pick on me.  Every time I see him he has to give me a hard time....he is a really nice guy, not a creepy weirdo!  And don't worry I can hold my own against him!  A couple of weeks ago he was really giving me a hard time and I told him to watch out because paybacks are a b*^$h!

Well today I got my revenge!  I was testing custom ring tones for the new phones because people were complaining they didn't like the ringers that come installed on the phones and I stumbled across an article explaining how you can take a song and convert it into a ring tone for our phone system.  Sucka!

So of course, I had to try it out.  Once I discovered it worked on my phone, I wrote a custom file and loaded it to his phone and then waited, and waited and waited.  Finally I got the phone call.  "What did you do to my phone?!?!"

"Huh?  I don't know what you are talking about."  Want to know what played on his phone every time someone called?

The Village People, YMCA.  Don't you just love this song?  I did!  After 5 minutes of listening to him whine I told him I would change his ringers back to normal.  30 minutes later I finally did it.  But not before the word got out and everyone called him to listen to his ringer and make fun of him for the rest of the day.

When I went into his office a little while later one of the girls who works for him gave me a hug and told me that watching him freak out made it worth coming into work today.

Moral of the story....I'm Really Not That Nice.
