My 85 year old uncle (grandma's younger brother) called this morning to talk about my grandma. Fucker kept me on the phone for 20 minutes. He kept telling me that she needs someone with her 24 hours per day. I said I know she does, but as soon as she feels better she's going to dismiss the girl, and then we'll just have to get her back. He thinks my father needs to ask her if she wants to die. He said if she doesn't want to die, then she needs to do everything the doctor says. When he gets this sick, he's already made arrangements to commit suicide in Oregon. Lovely, no? Anyway, here's what I did as soon as I hung up the phone. And by that I mean, that's real, I did it in front of the my camera. posted by Jenny on 3/30/2004 08:28:00 AM |

Well, tonight my grandma called and asked for my father. Of course he wasn't home from work yet, because it was an hour and a half before he ever gets home. I guess she told my mom that her back hurt and she couldn't get out of her recliner. So we ran over there. First she gets all mad at my mom because my mom said she was going to call 911 and my grandma told the front desk they were coming. But my mom decided to call from my grandma's. Then she said to just forget it, we shouldn't call 911. But she wanted us to take her to the hospital. So my mom said forget it, she's calling 911. So then while we're waiting for the paramedics she's asking me if I can still take her to the dentist next Tuesday and trying to show me some wedding invitation from "cousins". I keep telling her to stop talking and just sit there, but she can't, because she's getting too much attention. Oh, also, I had to hide her crap jewelry. The paramedics come and say that they don't think it's her heart. That either they can take her to the hospital or it's safe for us to take her. At this point she's like, "Well, if I'm not having a heart attack you can all leave." Basically she was just trying to hear whatever she could that said that she was 100% healthy. Grr. Then she said that if it gets worse, she'll go to the hospital. The paramedic asked if she was just going to call them back at 3am. I told him that she would call us at 3am. He told her she should go get it checked out now. I asked her how she expected us to get her in the car if she can't even get out of the chair. So then she jumps up and says, "I can stand up just fine!" and she does. I had to go downstairs and try to order her food. The dining room was done serving and you're supposed to order your tray before they even start serving. But they let me order stuffed cabbage, green beans and sweet potato. Then I had to go pick it up when it was ready, because it was too late to get it delivered. There's nothing I like more than carrying stinky food in an elevator that smells like old people. My grandma says the reason it smells is because people have accidents. Like that's supposed to be better. My dad left work (after calling in sick for 3 days to go to Vegas) and stayed with her while she ate. He eventually got someone to stay with her that night and came home. My mom made dinner and it smelled like ass. Someone asked me what it was supposed to be and I said, "ass". So apparently I shouldn't be complaining, because it smelled like it was supposed to. When I was refusing to eat it my mom said, "yea, I thought it smells a little funny when I was making it too." But then she expected me to eat it. The house still smells a little, it's sort of gross. posted by Jenny on 3/29/2004 11:31:00 PM |

I just got back from Vegas. I planned on coming home with $50 cash, but instead I have $15. Of course, I spent most of the difference in the airport. Damn the person who made us get there so early and whatever it was that delayed our flight. I knew we should have asked if we could go standby on all the earlier flights. I found a rewards card in a slot machine with $4177 cashback and over 12,000 rewards points. My family wouldn't let me wait in line to turn it in, so I just dropped it on a guy's desk while he was on the phone and mouthed, "I found this." The more I think about it, I've decided that the woman left the card in the machine to get points thinking that most people would just pop money in and not notice the card. I wanted to see Blue Man Group for my birthday. So even though we had all seen "O" the night before, my dad got my sister and I tickets to see them. We sat in the second row. The section on the tickets said "Poncho". So hear I am modeling my ear plugs and poncho. Lovely, no?  posted by Jenny on 3/26/2004 07:47:00 PM |

I worked with the resident Christ lover last night. We were talking about college football when he told me that Universities in California are run by Satan. Up until that point, it was a fine conversation, but then I had to walk away. I still haven't told him I'm Jewish. I've heard him say all kinds of negative things about "The Jews". And on top of that some co-workers have told me that they're not going to repeat to me what he's said, but if they were Jewish, they would have been really offended. He was a half hour late, yet clocked himself in on time. Also, I rolled my eyes when I saw him, and another co-worker told me that she's Christian, and she agrees with him. I told her that I have a religion that works well for me, and I don't come to work to find a new one. She said that she's heard some things he may have said, and if that's true, she doesn't agree in the way he goes about things. I took that to mean, she has no problem with him talking about Jesus 24/7, but she doesn't like it when he makes blatantly anti-Semetic statements out of the blue. The more I run in to people like him, the more I think that actively spreading the teachings of Christ and bashing everyone else's religions go hand in hand. I like this girl and all. We've been working together quite a lot lately. We talked later and I told her that I don't preach my religion, and I don't have tolerance for people who don't make any allowances for other scriptures. I told her that it's not that us non-Christians are purposefully going against the New Testament, it's that our scriptures are as as much truth to us as hers is to her. I told her that as an individual, I let people have their own opinions, but I'm going to take exception to the ones who don't let me have mine. She didn't talk to me for the rest of the night, so I'm not sure she agreed. But she better have gotten the message and not preach to me later on.

Well, I don't know how this happened again, but when I checked my site on a whim today (can't even remember what I was going to look up anymore) I saw that half my template disappeared again. The blogger tag was also not closed again. I really don't think I'm doing anything to make this happen except publishing. But then when I recheck my template later on it mysteriously ends in the middle. How annoying. I don't have time to fix it now, so it's just going to have to wait until I get back from work. So probably tomorrow at the earliest... posted by Jenny on 3/20/2004 04:16:00 PM |

This should be one shot from every orchid plant I have with more than 2 flowers on it:  This one's almost dead.  One of my Photography professors said everything looks better wet.  Lot's of red this year.  Hardly any white ones, and they're not fully open yet.  These look like the previous red ones, but the shape of the petals and the color are a little different.  Another small sprif of red.  One plant...  Two separate sprigs.  These really are dead, mostly. posted by Jenny on 3/17/2004 12:37:00 PM |

It turns out that when my education expenses are subtracted from my gross income I only made $103 over the minimum to file a federal tax return last year. That's with my unemployment (which they didn't take taxes out on). So even though my parents actually paid all my tuition, I'm getting back all of the federal taxes I paid, save a nickel. Granted it's less than $200. But there's still the sweet victory of not owing the federal government a dime (just a nickel). If I file a state return, I'll get back a few dollars more than I paid in the first place. Gotta love formulas. The only part I don't understand is, when it says "Send any accompanying paper schedules or statements", does that mean my W-2 and the form from my school? Because I was just going to send in the part I signed. I need to find an answer for that. Today my dad took me to the really big camera store and bought me a digital camera. A Nikon 4300, the same one that was stolen over a year ago. They're coming out with the 4200 very soon. It uses an SD card instead of Compactflash, records video with sound, and has 12 MB internal memory. I think those are the main differences, at least. I didn't get to see it, so I don't know if it's any smaller, which would be a plus, since this one doesn't fit in my pocket. Anyway, I've taken it out of the box, so I own this one now regardless. When I got home I mentioned that the video game I want is on sale at Target this week. But the camera is going to be the whole of my haul this year. That and the $50 I'm bound to get from my grandma. So that's that. posted by Jenny on 3/14/2004 06:04:00 PM |

Mario Kart addiction I finally beat the Special Cup at 100cc, woot! Immediately I beat the Mushroom Cup at 150cc, then the Flower Cup the next day. The Star Cup took a few more days. I've spent the last week and a half trying to beat the Special Cup at 150cc. Well, last night I finished in a 3-way tie for first, so I unlocked the All Cup Tour! I've already beaten it in 50cc. But that doesn't unlock anything new. 2 weeks ago I played at a friend's house who had beaten the whole game, and there were some cars I don't have. Why didn't I get one for beating the All Cup Tour? The animals in Animal Crossing will all be very mad at me because I haven't played since I got Mario Kart. Oh well, c'est la vie. I need to file my taxes. I'm pretty sure I owe money because I didn't have anything withheld from my unemployment checks. But I should just get it over with already. As it turns out, my parents are going to get me another digital camera for my birthday (3 weeks from tomorrow!). They said that since the last Tivo was mine, and the new one is the family's Tivo, they're going to buy me a birthday gift to make up for it. Not that a camera makes up for not owning your own Tivo. My mom also said I only turn 25 once, so I can choose either The Sims Bustin' out or a Sims expansion pack from Costco. I think I'd rather have True Crime as my next Gamecube game, though. I asked if I could get Vacation because it's only $17 and Muppet Party because it's only $13 instead. And she said no. Bustin' Out is $45 plus I'd need to buy a 251 card. So that's out of the question for me. Last year for my birthday I got Microsoft Office for Students, which my parents use 10 times more than I do. Plus, it's installed on their computer. Speaking of which, I heard that Intel is coming out with a quad processor for Christmas. I wonder how ridiculously expensive they'll be. I'd rather have that than any video game or digital camera. Plus, I need a new computer. And it'd be a shame to get some great deal on something obsolete because there's something 4 times as fast out there. Something to think about, I suppose. posted by Jenny on 3/10/2004 03:27:00 PM |

Twirling my finger I got paid for temping today. $420. They took out almost 23% in taxes. So that's money I won't get back for another year, since I haven't even filed this year's tax return yet. Also, they put my parking reimbursement into the check, and took taxes out of it. So I'm paying 22.78% of the $80 I paid to park for 9 days. I know it's not that hard to put a reimbursement on a paycheck and not take taxes out of it. The other company I work for does it all the time. Anyone with an expense account probably gets it that way too. This is just another way the agency screwed me in this whole deal. Now I kind of hope to hear from them some time in the future so I can tell them how much they suck. Probably more better worded than that, though. posted by Jenny on 3/01/2004 06:38:00 PM |
