Stop bragging about your Staycation!

I am of the belief that vacation time (given by your employer) is meant to be used as such....for a vacation!!! I don't see the point in using vacation time to stay at home and watch TV. I have been forced to listen to a co-worker "brag" to people about his staycation. I want to just go over there and scream "No one is impressed by you taking your kids to a d-backs game!!!". If you plan on taking a staycation this year because money is tight or what not, fine, just don't talk about it like you went to Europe and stayed at the Ritz Carlton (not sure if that hotel even exists in Europe, but you get my drift). Happy VACATIONING everyone! :)

Stupid City of Surprise!

So, we got a notice from the HOA stating that we needed to trim our tree otherwise we would get fined. Well I finally made Foo call the management company to find out what tree they were talking about and what their "tree trimming rules" were. Well when he called no one answered, so he left a message. Foo received a call from the management company later tonight. We come to find out that it wasn't the HOA asking us to trim our tree, but the city of surprise "cracking" down on the trees along the street. The lady told Foo that they are asking for the tree to be trimmed to 8ft on the sidewalk side and 13 ft on the street side. Why the hell would I trim my tree lopsided. Plus I don't know anyone in the neighborhood that is 8ft tall, so why does it need to be trimmed that high on the sidewalk side. I was so pissed!!! I thought the HOA was getting on our case about our tree (which is perfectly fine), when it was really the city! Why couldn't the city send out a notice asking us to trim our trees to their specifications, not get the HOAs involved?! Luckily it sounded like the management company was more concerned with the sidewalk side than the street side, so Foo will be trimming our tree a little this weekend. We don't want to violate those 8ft tall people walking on our sidewalks! I think the city of surprise has more important things they need to worry about instead of peoples trees, like replacing the funds they "borrowed" to build their ridiculous city hall!!!

You aren't as important as you think you are......

I find it funny when people think they are more important than they really are. They walk around every day with this "air" about them, like my "shit don't stink" type of attitude. Why is that? Depending on the situation, I think people are allowed some "attitude" about them. But to have it all the time is ridiculous. You aren't that important! Get over yourself! You know you are arrogant when you have your admin make your hair appts for you!

Another Facebook Annoyance

If you don't want me to see your posts, unfriend me. Don't block me from seeing your posts, while you still have access to mine. To be a jerk, I might just do the same thing to you.

Checking Bags

Brooke dropped me off at MSP today, so I can make my way back to PHX (yippie!!) I was waiting in line to check my bag and print my boarding pass (there was only 2 people in front of me). They moved and I was next when I hear this woman yelling from down the row (she was not an employee by the way). There is an open kiosk down here!! Well the open kiosks next to her were for people that were not checking bags. I clearly had a bag to check. I ignored her and went to the next open kiosk that would let me check a bag. I have a college education and can clearly read the GIANT signs above the kiosks. Don't yell across the room about something you clearly know nothing about!!

PS - Terminal 2 at MSP is great! The security line was minimal and the gates are definitely not as crazy as Sky Harbor. I wish I flew out of the terminal more often!
