New Car?

I've got a meeting in Kingman tomorrow, and Steve coincidentally needs to drop off one of the semi trucks for some servicing, so we're gonna make a day of it. Since there's no Honda or Toyota dealership here, we can go there to check out the little cars and see what we like.
Yesterday was rough. I woke up kinda pissy, and after giving it some thought I realized that I was probably just being a big baby over that whole Scott thing.
If I were his wife, I'd be pissed too. I understand where she's coming from. He's made her feel like he can't be trusted, and then he starts a secret friendship with the texting and emailing. I know exactly how that feels and now I'm kinda upset with him for putting me in that spot. Steve had a little "texting" friend a couple of years ago and it didn't matter who she was, I just wanted her gone.

But then my day perked up when I went to the Early Voting for the September Primary and I voted for myself. I'm in the running for Precinct Committee, which is basically a volunteer job that entails getting people out there to vote. You have to be elected to the position, and there's 9 people running for it.

Work is slow. I'm not very motivated this week, so I haven't been doing much out in the field. Next week will change, because the boss will be here. Yikes.

Some new pics

Hey look, is that Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High??!! Nope, just Shay. We got his hair trimmed a little shortly after I snapped this one:


My sweetheart, smiling for me at the end of a long day out on the lake:


This is Dana and his wife Patti putting up campaign signs near our house. Troopers. It was over 110 degrees that morning:


I took this one of myself (nobody takes pictures of meeeeee!!!) and I liked it so much I ordered it to be printed all fancy and put in a nice frame. I think I'll put it over my desk:

New Job, Ugh...

The new job is actually suited for me, pretty well. I sell adspace on a website, and I sell yellow book ads along with that. The truly great commission money is with the yellow book ads, but the more fun stuff is the internet. It's funny that I enjoy the internet sales more, because I was hired the same time as this other girl, who used to sell time shares. She's like a sales-shark because she's got the voice, the attitude, the presence of a real sales person. Meanwhile, I'm more laid back and quiet.
I'm the only one who sold any ads last week. Don't know what happened with her, but I was kinda surprised to hear that my boss, the marketing manager, didn't sell anything either. I'm sure I'll have those weeks where I don't get contracts signed or anything....I'm just surprised that my first week on the job was better than I expected.

Seeing how I was doing a lot of scrambling around with the training and stuff, it felt like I was being run ragged. It was HOT outside, and it seemed like the only time I got out to do sales calls was the HOTTEST part of the day!! Sheesh.

The kitchen is sort of put back together, with the tile guys done now. We're waiting for the cabinet guy to get his part done, which won't be for another week.
Once the kitchen is done, we can have people over to celebrate.

I'm counting down the days to my trip to Minnesota!!! The Republican National Convention is Sept 1st, and I'm now getting regular updates from the RNC committee on emails. I was told by my co-delegate, our County Supervisor, that because we're the Arizona delegates we will be getting a little extra attention by the media. (because McCain is from Arizona....presumably) We're getting footage for one of the Arizona news channels, and when we get back we're being asked to write up stuff and appear in interviews. Cool! Anything for a little more attention... of course....
