Did you know

how disturbing it it to be watching something violent and Anime, like Cowboy Bebop, and have it intertupted by a commercial for a Christian Music CD? I mean honestly, do I look like these people when I go see the Cruxshadows? It's wrong. All the people in the audience are teens, and very few of the people performing are under the age of 40. And it's not Ozzy 40 either. *sighs*

I should go to bed, I can't believe I'm still awake, but I have a late day tomorrow, and, as usual my week is shot to hell, so I'm planning on sleeping in a bit, recovering the last of my sickness energy, then paying bills in the morning and deciding if I want to go get a YuYu Hakusho box set., I'm getting different reports on whether or not it's out.

The moon was so beautiful tonight, in the cold crisp air. I spotted her through buildings first, like the little tease she is *grins* As much as I dislike sunlight, I'm beginning to believe the whole ruling planet thing. My fiery and explosive temper aside, I just have this thing with the moon sometimes. I don't worship her as goddess per se, it feels more like lover. (Yes I KNOW this sounds very lesbian, I have tendencies, get OVER it already!)

I wanted to give my nails a bit more time to dry, I redid them in the purple blue, very nicenice. Wrestling with a dilemma, probably shouldn't do ANYTHING about it. I already feel like it's March. I'm over worked, have no time for anything, and am just plain exhausted. Doesn't bode well for mid-January. *sighs* Sometimes I think I should have taken the BLUE pill.

Note to self

do NOT let yourself "sleep late" because instead of being grateful you let your body rest for an extra hour than usual (8-8:30), your body will take advantage of it and "rest" until 9:45!

*sigh*

I should go to the client I avoided on Sunday today. I'm headed out in a bit, unshowered (*giggle* seriously, it's frickin freezing in here, I'll shower tonight) and I seriously think I need the time at home tonight. I have an episode of Angel to watch, I have an episode of Buffy to tape (hopefully) I have finances to adjust, I have bills to start processing, I have bills to pay

*pouts* but it's COLD out *sighs*

I did my shopping at Trader Joe's in Cambridge last night, and found none of the rice bowls I liked, except the noodle bowls. I had two loverly Sesame Noodle bowls for dinner, but I don't feel like I have enough food. I'm afraid I wont' be able to shop once a week, and if I have to hit a different store, whose selection was like last night I'm screwed.

OK must be off to work. One of my clients yesterday said "Oh you can come in Wednesday, right?" I said , um, NO? "Oh, we assumed you could." Hi. What does "I can only work the hours I've booked you for, since this is tax season." mean to you? I'm PRAYING my CPA has scheduled the Lowell audit, so I can say "sorry, can't buhbye" to my client from yesterday. Oh, worked 8 1/2 billed hours yesterday, not counting the half hour it took me to spend my money and pick up W-2 supplies (I'm not worried about that, I'll get reimbursed.) I need an oil change VERY badly, maybe I can call Saturn of Lowell and have them do it while I'm at the audit. *sighs* I wanted it done today but that ain't happening. Maybe I can schedule it on Monday.

AH my eyes hurt, I still have my glasses on. Off to get dressed super quick and get to client (with coffee) by noon.

I'm screwed now

Don't expect to hear from me for the rest of the week.
Not only did my CPA not schedule the audit for tomorrow (we're going in February) but she's ALL SET for me to switch days, since she's out of the office tomorrow, and really wants me around when she's there, we get a great deal done as a team.

*sigh*

So I have to get up SUPER suck early, to be done by 11AM or so, then off to one, possibly two clients. I have an appointment on Thursday that I need to now reschedule, and I'm hoping he can't until next week (not that my schedule next week doesn't suck anyway) and I can just go from client one to client two, with a quick stop at home to drink my lunch. (OH wait, maybe momma will make me a sandwich tomorrow, that's the German Lady client who feeds me! YAY!)

Gack. I feel like I have to offer this guy today, but I don't want to, I want to go to the post office, and figure out my finances, and relax tonight, and get to bed early, hopefully BEFORE Yu-Yu Hakusho (I'll hopefully have the box set and won't need to stay up. Inuyasha is still a must.)

AT least I got my client done today in record time, AND got an oil change and my tire fixed. YAY Saturn of Norwood, BOO the oil smelling guy who hit on me AGRESSIVELY in the waiting room *sigh*

I have to clean my desk, I have to pick up my room, I need to loaf and relax, I have so much to do. I hate having my life scheduled hour by hour, it means that any crewup (helLO oversleeping) screws everything up.

Amazon rants

someone remind me how good an idea I thought it was to put my books on Amazon. 90% of my sales went flawlessly. THEN some bitch complains because the copy of Neverwhere I sold wasn't "First edition" it was a bookclub edition. See, I do NOT see any difference, plus I have a recollection of buying the damn thing in the bookstore. So basically she thought she was stealing a very good book from an uninformed newbie, and got, in her words, cheated. She paid SEVEN dollars plus shipping for a BRAND NEW UNREAD copy of Neverwhere. I don't care WHERE the frack it came from. Then I got emails from someone asking about some damage I'd described to one of my books. How bad is it, they want a collector's edition etc. OK so I described it, in DETAIL. I offered a picture. They said Hmmm, maybe send me the picture. That's when I lost interest, AND left for London about the same time. He emailed me every couple of weeks or so and I said Yeah yeah. he finally BOUGHT IT from me from Amazon. *sigh* I'd forgotten it was still up. See I got involved in my JOB and life. No, not very responsible of me, but I put up about 100 books, and sold maybe 20. They'd come in JUST after a day off, and I wouldn't have any time to package anything up properly for days. I'd decided to take them down when they all started reaching the 60 day mark and expired.

I'm just seriously annoyed. Someone who said "They sound TOO damaged." what am I supposed to do? Some people freak me out. I ask questions, if I get ignored, I move on and find it somewhere else, no big whoop, you know? These are books that are STILL AVAILABLE from the book club, at about the same price, maybe a tad more but they're NEW, not used.

It's just the time of year, when I had time to devote to this I was an excellent saleswoman, but I have more things to do now, and those things make me more money. I'm planning on getting everything together for me to sell AFTER tax season is over, enough to devote one day a week to it. Like my books, and the rest of the stuff I want to Ebay. But notice the use of the word "devote" I KNOW I don't have the time, how do I get rid of the annoying people who have WAY more free time than I do.

The easy answer - take everything down. And they are down.
how do I rid myself of the annoying feelings? I shipped out my last sale today, he'll have it in two days, and I get an email about when did I ship what went out OVER a week ago.

On top of this, that client I rearranged my schedule for? Cancelled. ARGH!
