Am I gonna die?

on July 24, 2010

So, remember the other day when I tweeted about having the worst headache ever? Also, possibly the second migraine I’ve ever had in my life. Well, I woke up with redness in the form of a triangle with the point at the end of my left out and going out to cover my left temple. It doesn’t really itch, but it does slightly burn a bit. It’s also slightly raised and a teeny bit bumpy. Definitely not the normal texture of my skin.

So, if there are any dermatologists, nurses, RN’s, bug experts, etc out there reading this: Am I going to die? We’re going on the completion of Day 2 of said redness.

This image is making the corner of my eye look purple, it’s not.

So ummm, yeah. What’s wrong with me!?

Say My Name, Stitch!

on July 23, 2010

Note: Obviously, that’s not the correct line from American Pie, I do not use profanity but you get the idea!

The reason for this post today (and post title) is a partial venting session and a partial teaching session.

When corresponding with ANYONE, whether it be on the phone, via e-mail, via text message, via instant messenger, via face to face; USE THEIR NAME!

Lately I’ve been corresponding with a company for work that needs to be done with Twenty70 Hosting and we’ve been corresponding for over a month now and I have yet to see them actually WRITE my name in an e-mail. I realize it is probably going through a ticketing system because the responses are ALWAYS generic, which is another thing I hate when communicating with clients/potential clients but that’s another post.

It peeves me greatly when the e-mail starts with:

Hi,

Below are the….

I mean, really? I have a name, use it. Try to be a little bit more personable and life-like, you know? Try to act like you WANT my continued business.

Now, I know (much to my dismay) that I have not yet perfected the art of communication. I have my Facepalms still but duuuddeee, is it soooo hard to address me by name?

For instance, sending an e-mail to a blogger, it’s frowned upon to start the e-mail with:

Dear Blogger,

Dear Technology Blogger,

Dear Mommy Blogger,

I would say that using the terms above is only good for when you’re speaking via a public ad or post and addressing your readers (who may be one of the above). But, if you are going to send them a PERSONAL e-mail then PERSONALIZE it. Unless, of course, you’re SPAM.

Just my two cents worth on that…

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Weekend in Review: July 16-18, 2010

on July 21, 2010

I know I’ve been promising to blog about this past weekend but honestly, so much has happened and so much still needs to be done. So, sorry for the delay!

I guess I will start my weekend on Thursday; you will need to know Thursday’s events to understand Saturday’s events.

Thursday night Migo’s friend from high school and college flew in from Detroit (he lives in Ohio). His plane was supposed to take off earlier in the evening and land at 8:00pm EST. Did that happen? Of course not. They pushed back take-off until 8:00pm which means the flight wouldn’t land until after 10:00pm. All I am thinking at this point is, *facepalm*. Migo & his friend had decided that when he landed we would all go to Blue Martini for Latin Night and the later his flight, the later we got home. That didn’t make me a happy camper but I put on a smilie face anyway.

8:00 comes around and they are just starting to board the plane when a passenger decides to pass-out, long story short – that delayed the plane’s take-off another hour. Take off was at 9:16 and the plane landed just before midnight EST.

After circling arrival pickup four times at Terminal B (where the plane was supposed to part) we couldn’t find said friend. Again, long story short… I suppose since the plane was hours behind, the Terminal was full and the plane had to taxi to Terminal A…. on the other side of the airport. So we drive all the way to the other side of the airport to Terminal A where we start circling the arriving flights passenger pickup area. He says he is there but we can’t find him! Come to find out, he didn’t leave through the baggage claim area which puts you in the pick up area. He left through the departing flight ticketing area, which is on the second floor where you DROP OFF passengers. *FACEPALM*

Friday – Friday, Migo and I found out a mutual friend of ours was hospitalized for a flair up of Crohn’s Disease. :( Definitely not cool, the poor thing was in so much pain. Later that night, we saw “Inception”. GREAT MOVIE.

Saturday – Saturday we learned a family member has a large mass within one of her lungs so we basically spent the weekend with family and Migo’s nieces and nephew. Said family member is kind of scared but we’re all hoping and praying for the best. A biopsy will be done later this week.

Saturday was also the night of the pointless fight between Migo and I that I tweeted about. It really was pointless but we were both so adamant to get our points across it became funny. Basically the point of the argument was him getting upset with me for something that happened that he ALREADY KNOWS I would be upset over. I got upset over something that happened while out and about with his friend who came to visit and the friends he brought out and about with us. My reaction to what happened shouldn’t have been a surprise to him, I really am an open book. This may sound confusing because I haven’t shared the entire story, but it really is long and boring and this post is already long enough!

Sunday – Work, Shopping at Express, swimming at Aquatica with Migo’s family, then home.

Monday – Drive to airport, grab starbucks. Work. Work. Work. Work. Visit friend in hospital. Went bowling, I won. :-) Worked some more when I got home.

And that my friends, is my highly boring weekend in review.

xoxo!
