Not a good weekend for the family

Well, I usually update my blog over the weekend but this weekend I simply couldn't. My grandmother died on saturday morning from a stroke. She died at her home, tending to her garden as she always did. Neighbors saw her fall and called paramedics, but nothing could be done. Family members were doing various other things, either out of town, or not close to a phone for easy contact. Eventually, everyone found out, and made their way back to El Paso. The rosary (wake) is tomorrow, and the funeral is scheduled for Wednesday morning.

Arrangments will be announced later for friends of the family.

With this website, I stab at thee

I already got rid of my home phone, but that hasn't excluded people from calling my parent's phone for telemarketing. Yeah, its a scarry thought, untill the Federal Trade Commission announced a new Do Not Call list. It's a hard address to access since the website is getting ovr 120 hits per second. The site has spaces for 3 phone numbers to be placed on the no call list, and I used all three with our home phone, and cell phones.

If you want to get your phone numbers placed on a 3 year Do Not Call list, visit www.donotcall.gov or call them toll free @ 1-888-382-1222

Ok, can anyone tell me what's wrong? Bueler? Bueler? Bueler?

Ok, lets hope I can draw out a clear road map on this one. I called over to T-Mobile to upgrade several things on my phone service, the first being the plan and the second being the phone. Well, its been no secret that Ive been wanting that Sony Ericsson T-300. Well, T-mobile wanted $179 for it, discounted from $249. Well, when I called numerous times, I found the price fluxuated from $149 to $179, then as low as $110. Each time, different members of T-Mobile's staff gave me differing info.

I later find that the price of the phone fluxuates from day to day. Does this sound strange to you?

we are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
searching our hearts for so long
both of us knowing...
love is a battlefield

Its thursday. Why can't it be saturday? Screw wanting it to be friday, I'd rather want to be home on saturday and not at work friday counting down the clock. Makes sense, right? *sigh* Im still alittle down from yesterday, but Im getting over it. I found that the seats for Fleetwood Mac are great seats. I've seen some of the playlists they sing for other arenas and its going to be a list of songs not written my Christine McVie, which means its going to be a rock show for the most part. I had philisophical discussions with alot of people here at the station about the singles released by FM, and where those people are going to be seated in the Don Haskins Center. It will be a memorable concert for sure.

PEACE!

Close but no donut

You can't blame me for being dissapointed. I sent an application to KTSM TV today, and had the luck of the Irish to be interviewed right away. The position was for Assignments Editor for the newsroom. It's a verry complicated and stressful job that isn't for most people. I was told and warned by the guys in charge that its a hard, long and rather thankless job, and I wouldn't make too many friends while working. Sounds like my job with more people to deal with. It's predicted that this guy will flake out, so I may still be in the running later.

For the time being, I saw my Mustang in the distance, but it sped up and I lost it in the rush-hour traffic...
