By reading the New York Times for one week, you will have come across more information than a person in the 1800's would come across in their entire LIFE.

So what a week this seems like.... do you ever have those weeks that you don't really know what is going on and feel like you are watching life go on without you? I think i having one of those years. Living in NYC with my husband is great but it gets lonely.. one of my best friends lived close to me and even though we were always busy and didn't get to get together much it was always comforting to know that she was there, but now that she has moved away I am the only one left in the city. I mean don't get me wrong i am not the "only" one in the city but I still feel like that sometimes. I miss my girlfriends, I miss having someone to call and say lets go and get some coffee or lets go and get a manicure... my marriage is absolutely great but i feel that things have been lacking in the friend department, and that totally sucks. i guess this is what happens when you get older and everyone goes their seperate ways and you only talk once and a while but it is depressing and I know that i am to blame since I am so not a phone person. I hate talking on the phone so i never call my friends, which is really bad i know and I would like to say that I will call everyone but i just really dont like the telelphone. i rather be there in person chatting... I don't know i guess "such is life" . Alrght I am totally getting myself depressed and when you are PMSing that is not a good thing! so i am going to stop this thought of mine with this final saying that I have always thought as a great thing to live by: SMILE BECAUSE SOMEONE OUT THERE LOVES YOUS!! and that is key! I love my girls and miss you guys so much!

man, those are some interesting facts there. so, what's new in the life of funny jessee?

So its been a while since I last wrote..it is funny how the days get longer as you grow up. Why is that? one day it is February and now it is March I mean I am already to May in my calendar! what is up with that?! So since I am feeling old I wanted to share a couple of my favorite quotes:

Proverb - “When you see an old man amiable, mild, equable, content, and good-humored, be sure that in his youth he has been just, generous, and forbearing. In his end he does not lament the past, nor dread the future; he is like the evening of a fine day.”

Unknown - “Time changes with time: in youth, time marches on; in middle age, time flies; and in old age, time runs out.”

Elbert Hubbard - “I would rather be able to appreciate things I can not have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.”

Work rant!

OK so I really have to give it to the teachers that teach our kids! I am a client trainer and I train my companies clients on our products, and you know what really gets to me? when people come into my training session's and pay me absolutely no mind! its like "HELLO I am not here for my health! will you stop looking at your f***ing myspace page and pay attention to me!"

This type of inconsiderate person really gets to me... I stand for 2 hours in front of a group of people trying to teach them something they have to learn in order for them to do their freaking job and they don't pay me any attention! I put so much effort into the sessions and prepare for them to come in and play on the Internet! I have gotten so sick of that fact that I have started asking these people direct questions about what they are looking at and god forbid they fall asleep! I have gone and waken people up in my session before... Seriously! What do they think that I love standing up here teaching non-exciting stuff every day in and out? ITS MY JOB! i have to be here - they sign up for the session not me! GRRR

All I ask is for a little respect and a little nod of the head if I ask if there are questions or if they need me to go over anything else... instead I get blank stares or they are looking at me like I have 3 heads! I just don't get it. and the funny thing is that these people then call me 2 weeks later asking me questions, its not my fault that you didn't listen! Don't get me wrong it isn't like I go over the most interesting stuff - not at all! but come on - you were the one that decided to do take the job and you are the one that needs to learn how to do your job!

So that is why I am tipping my hat to the teachers of America! b/c if I have to deal with this crap with adults I can only imagine it with kids! I can see little johnny sitting at his desk picking his nose day in and day out and then he wonders why he fails the final exam! - its like get your finger out of your nose and pay a little attention! UGH!

OK I admit that rant was a little over the top but I just needed to get it out and now I can go and relax... - Jess
