Wisdom and a word to the wise

IF you date a married man and then he leaves his wife to date you.......

You are then dating a man who thinks it is OK to date other people while in a committed relationship.

Don't act surprised when it comes back to bite you in the end. You reap what you sow...

So if you want a relationship that works don't date the married man to begin with.

Just my thoughts...

Actions have consequences...

Actions have consequences even if you apologize. An employee this week learned this the hard way where I work. Yes One4Jc is fairly laid back and easy going BUT I do have my limits. She is the first person to push me far enough for serious consequences. Being "written up" is not good but an actual unpaid suspension is a sure sign that you have pushed too far.

She is appealing the suspension but it doesn't look good for her. Several of my supervisors thought she should have been fired over the incident not just suspended.

My actions have consequences as well. I missed a deadline and I am paying the penalty for it. It is repairable but time consuming. I got too caught up in enrolling new students, staffing issues and other paper work and the deadline whooshed up on me today and the items are not ready. The kicker is that I got a letter of "recognition" of my mistake today...before the actual deadline had passed...so did my boss. Whoops.

The last actual day off I had was Labor Day...I have been working through the weekend to play catch up on all the things I have missed by being bogged down with other stuff like ...oh say....staffing classrooms. Looks like I will work through this weekend as well.

And my Mom wants me to get this apartment when???????

Gas Prices

So the price of gas went up again...

Like we need another thing to worry about!

Burger King.

What were you thinking?

Many women already have hormonal problems with age and well.... WE JUST DO! OK!

Like I didn't have enough to worry about that now I watch which foods I eat out of fear of growing a mustache!




Yes I know it is a joke but I do still find the dancing guy a little creepy!

The games are over....for now.

The car search is over for now...sigh. I waved Bye Bye as I could not get the deal I wanted. They did finally offer to pay off my car completely but...I got the actual payoff amount (from my bank) and the dealer had "inadvertently" added almost $300 in an overage.

Hmmmmmm...

They found out that my Credit Union would only finance the NADA value of the car and decided if I wanted the car I would have to go back up to 11.25% interest rate to be financed through them...well maybe they could get 10.25%....

Hmmmmmmmm.......


Then they started criticizing the credit union I work with. The CU that has walked me through other loans successfully... my student loans...my line of credit for surviving the divorce... helped guide me through "finances 101" after my Dad passed away.

And he had the nerve to tell me they weren't looking out for me like their dealership was?!!?

These people I have know less than 3 days were taking care of me better than the people who have known me by name and account numbers for the last 17 years? The people who pull my account up as I approach the window because they recognize me... The people who teared up at the window when they heard of a miscarriage... The people who helped me protect my accounts and assets before I filed for divorce so that Big Red couldn't take advantage of me....

I don't think the people at the dealership had my best interests in mind like my Credit Union does. I know some of you may think I am exaggerating but this truly is how my CU treats my family and I. Am I right sis?

The dealership was kind enough..cough cough...to give me back the deposit check and tell me I could change my mind at any time...or talk my credit union into "working with such a valued member" to get a higher loan amount...but the car is not worth $$ the loan amount...

I should have stuck with my gut instinct to stay away from this particular dealership.

Lesson learned.

I started some research again and discovered I can buy a 2006/2007 car for about the same payment because the loan time is longer.

Who knows.......All I know is I am done looking this week.

The imaginations...

Sometimes things are not as they seem. A bystander can look at a situation from the sidelines and draw a conclusion based on what the people want you to see.

Unless you are directly involved...hands-on not just buzzing by...don't assume to know what is going on.

Big Red did sign the papers at my lawyer's office...so off to the courthouse they go.

Thunderstorms just 2 weeks after we had a blizzard warning??!!

Oh that's OK now we will have flood warnings.

The Hiccuping girl finally stopped...not some cure all. They stopped on there own.

Lord's' cheque bounces

Thursday, March 1, 2007

This is one bank that would not pay out

Next time, Kevin Russell may want to ask God to give him cash.

The 21-year-old from Gary, Indiana, was arrested after trying to cash a cheque for $50,000 that he said was given to him by "his Father".

Local police said the cheque was signed "King Savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Servant."

He was charged with one count of attempted cheque fraud, one count intimidation and one count resisting law enforcement.

He now faces a maximum sentence of seven years.

Police were called to the bank at about 4pm after Russell tried to cash the cheque.

He had several other cheques with him that were signed the same way but made out in different dollar amounts, including one for $100,000.

Russell allegedly struggled with police as they tried to detain him and then threatened police as they transported him to the Hobart Police Department.

"I've heard about God giving out eternal life, but this is the first time I've heard of Him giving out cash," said police detective Jeff White.

I don't know about you but I don't think I could get that entire signature on a check line!
