Transferring from old to new
I'm doing this probably the hardest way possible but at the moment this is the only way that I think is available to me until I can get a hard drive to help me transfer faster. Basically what I'm doing is transferring what songs I have on cd's that are on my old lap top onto my new lap top. So far. . .I've only made it through 185 songs of 1396 total on my old computer. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. . .this is going to take FOREVER!
Branching Out
I think that I sometimes suffocate Mark with my presence. He's never complained about it or said anything directly to me so I'm not exactly sure but since I don't get a long with some of his friends anyways I definitely need to branch out to my friends again. I kind of have just like dropped them which is ridiculously unacceptable. I miss Jaleesa, Jasmine, and Rachael. . .I especially miss Tina but since she's in Cali I have to settle without her. I'm in the process of making plans with Jaleesa for this weekend though and I want to wait to see Jasmine at her baby shower but at the same time I kind of don't because we haven't seen each other in so long and it's kind of sad how we just fell off. I just don't want to have to deal with her trying to blame only me for the fact that we don't hang out anymore. Some of the people she hangs out with specifically JC and Terrell get on my nerves and I don't like to be around them plus that aren't really the type of people that I need to be surrounding myself since I want to become a cop. So me ignoring those two is essential but they are friends of hers so it's hard to get just her and not them too. I just miss her, I don't miss the lifestyle I had when I was always with her. I'm positive she has calmed down though since she's prego and all. I'm really excited for her but I don't think it's the wisest decisions of course. The dad isn't the greatest role model and already has a son by another girl although he is a very nice guy he just isn't what I would consider as someone to have a baby with. Anyways, it's her decision and she can afford it and if she thinks she is ready for it then I will absolutely support her. Just the fact that I feel like I'm tearing Mark away from his friends because we don't get along makes me miss my friends and makes me realize I need them, stupid of me to have forgotten. I think I'll make some cards for them. hahahah be all sentimental and apologetic. It's not all my fault but hey someone has to make the effort and if we are both thinking a long the same lines of it's the others fault that we fell off we aren't going to make things better so I'm willing to swallow my own pride and chalk it up to my own ignorance.
Today I learned. . .
Of the old woman "Mean Girls Clique" at my job. On Friday, I was reported by a fellow coworker for wearing an inappropriate shirt. I knew I was reported by her because a friend of mine that also works there overheard her discussing my outfit and how she deemed it inappropriate and would be reporting me. I was wearing a pink tank top with gold sequins that are on the top sleeves only. The tank top was pulled up so that it was not hanging low and therefore it was not revealing. My manager called me into her office and addressed my top. She told me "It was inappropriate attire." I asked what was inappropriate about it, was I not allowed to wear tank tops or what. She said "No. The tank top style is allowed and you are allowed to wear bright colors, however the sequins are inappropriate." As there is a minimal amount of sequins I questioned the honesty behind this. She continued saying "Frankly, now don't take offense to this but, you look like a defendant. You look like you are going out for a night on the town." I was deeply offended by her defendant comment. I feel like she was insinuating that I look like a criminal, or I look trashy, or I look unfit to be working there. I then confronted my manager on the issue of what I was told about being reporter. I asked her if I had been reported and if so by whom? She responded that no one had reported me but that it was something that she just noticed. I thought this weird and asked her why she noticed today because I have worn the shirt many times before and have not received a complaint about it before. I told her I knew that someone had reported me because I had overheard that someone was going to. She said no, no one had reported me then asked what I had heard. I told her the same as above that I was told that someone would be reporting me. She said again that no one had reported me that it was just something she had noticed. I again confronted her saying that I did not understand because there were several other people wearing the same style shirt and they had not been addressed. Another bailiff Sandy was wearing a yellow tank top with a black bra showing underneath and then a probation officer was wearing a teal, low cut, scrunched tank top. I then walked out of her office FURIOUSLY PISSED! Her policies are inconsistent and unfair. She has different standards for those who are among her clique and those have take precedence. One of the bailiffs wears whatever she wants and looks like trash majority of the time. We have a business casual dress code and today she was wearing a t shirt with drawings and words and sequins all over it that is inappropriate. She also wears a brown raggedy jacket with hood [not allowed] with sequins. I have been reprimanded for wearing a plain grey jacket with no visible hood. I am in the middle of building up my report with pictures and junk so I can report it.
However, Sandy came in and explained to me today that this is nothing new for this job. She is the sweetest thing but they have been harassing her for some time. They draw pictures of cows and leave them on her desk and pictures of stretchy pants with 22 inch waist wrote on them calling her fat [which she isn't]. They left a voicemail on her phone calling her a slut and accusing her of sleeping around with particular judges, city attorneys, and more because she refused to go to drinks with them one night because she had a date. They made her date a scandalous situation even though she is single. She is reporting them now because she was standing in the hall with one of them when another one walked by, hit her in the head with a stack of papers, smiled at her little accomplice seemingly happy with her actions and knowing that it gave her accomplice pleasure as well. What's said is that a judge is actually involved in these actions. It's a judge, a court reporter or two, a couple of bailiffs, my manager I don't know her title, and a receptionist for the city attorneys. It's so surprising how far high school and middle school behavior extends out into the real world. I'm not surprise to be experiencing this behavior in a way though because I am expecting to be harassed when I become an officer simply because I am a woman. Oh well. People will quickly learn that I am not easily scared or intimidated and that I don't stand for this type of behavior. These old ass hags will not run me off the job like they have done to two other people that started working there the same time that I started working there. If anything, they're going to face their greatest challenge in me. Everything they do and say will not be recorded. I am bringing cameras and tape recorders to work and I will make an effort to make sure they know that what they are doing, how they are behaving, is unacceptable in my eyes and that I am not the type of person they should have started trying to walk all over. Karma is bitch and when enough reports get stacked up on their asses. . .eventually something is going to be done. . .even if I have to go to the head of the whole court and point it out to her myself the shit that is going on in her court.

YAYYER
Harry Potter was super awesome! It left me feeling like the book left me. . .that I desperately need more. I can't wait for the next one of course. In the mean time, I will definitely be brushing up on the books because I couldn't really remember a whole lot of this book so I didn't really know if anything was left out, however Mark said they only left out a couple things so I trust that. I loved going to see it with all the die hard fans. The movie experience is just that much better because they all respect it so much that there is no way anyone is going to deliberately ruin the movie by being annoying or loud or have their cellphone on during the movie [=.
I finished my Stats class today. I'm sure that I ended up with a C at least. I am in the process of finishing my social psych online class tonight. I am planning on taking the final later tonight since I just took two of the quizzes like ten minutes ago I figure I should give myself like a 30-45 minute break so I don't get burnt out on effort while taking the final. I am expecting a C in this class as well however I have to put a lot of effort into the final since I missed the midterm and a quiz. I'm pretty disappointed with my performance in this class this semester. I am usually really good about online classes but not this time for some reason. I think because the chapters in the book were so long it was hard for me to remain focused, especially since we were reading two chapters a week. That sucked. Also, traveling a lot this summer didn't really help. I have two classes to get signed up for next Fall. One of them is with a teacher I have this semester and he already told me he would just sign me in manually so I'm going to do that. As soon as I get him to do that I plan on asking him for my grade and a letter to present to the teacher of the other class I need to stay on track for graduation to sign me in to that class as well. We'll see if it works out.
I got my windshield fixed today. It had a huge crack all the way across it at the top and then another crack that went half way across on the bottom. I went to the cheapest place I was quoted which was like 100 dollars less than the other places and this place has like a lot of advertisement and seemed pretty legit. I realized it wasn't in the best of neighborhoods but I was definitely expecting more than what I got. Needless to say, the place was pretty sketchy but the guys that worked there were nice. I celebrated being alive still after I left with Mark and my ma as a joke.
Maddoxx wants attention so I must tend to the princess. lol

Harry Potter/ Transformer's 2
I have midnight tickets for Mark and I and am soooo excited. I haven't read or looked at or heard any reviews over it and I want to keep it that way. I don't want my experience to be tainted. I wanted to re-read the book before I saw the movie but I don't have the time for it so hopefully they don't leave out any crucial points that I miss because of it.
I didn't post anything here on Transformers 2 because I just disowned blogger lol. However, if you haven't seen it you are a serious disappointment in my eyes and you are keeping from yourself something so awesome and amazing!!! You need to see it. . .several times. I have only seen it once since it came out but my schedule has been pretty packed. I'm sure I will find some more time to watch it because when the first one came out I watched it five times in theatres and then I would watch it everyday when I got home on joox and when it came out on DVD. I LOVE Transformers. Mark bought me a bobblehead Bubblebee yesterday. . .he's so freaking cool! I'm figuring out how to put it on my dash in my car because I call my car the transformer. She even makes her own noise when she starts going fast and all lmao! Oh if you only knew!! I have a '93 toyota corolla [=. LOVE IT! Only ever had one major problem with it, besides a flat tire once.
She Wolf
New single out by Shakira is super HAWT if you like a house flavor kind of music in Spanish [=
