So...Scott's back in Chennai and the dogs are back at home. Not a fair trade off if you ask me. I get to wake up next to my fiance for a week, then he get replaced by a 90 pound bedhog to the left and a giant furball (no idea what Comet weighs) on my feet? Oh well, at least I have company, even if I do have to lay movies over the couch and loveseat every time I leave them inside. Today's especially dreary, so they should be nice and wet when I get home. Woo-hoo! (That was sarcasm by the way).
I went to Bakers last night and almost punched someone. I know...shocking. Julie's mom was there....the bitch beyond all bitches. I can't stand that woman. It's all an act and it's all about her and who cares what Julianne needs, let's just focus on ourselves even though we came over to help Julie. Let's make her feel worse by pointing out everything she has ever done wrong. You know what, Mrs. B., let's point out everything you've done wrong...like...better not go there.
Anyway, when I got home I walked inside and it hit me. I had turned the porch light on when I left and locked the door. the porch light was no longer on and the door didn't click like it had been locked. Also, Gracie was just staring into the kitchen and she never does that. So, I backed out of the house and called Mark, Scott's brother. He came over with his Easton and checked the house for me. Nothing was gone and no one was there, but still. Maybe if someone had been there, Duke scared the crap out of them. I don't know. Maybe I'm just losing it and shut the light off when I walked out. Who knows?
Ok. Enough for now.
Current Mood:  tired
Current Music: the gentle lull of fingers on keyboards surrounding me

Jill called from the Mossville office last night. Another one of my former co-workers just committed suicide. Maybe four months ago Mossville had a Cat employee commit murder-suicide. Then we had a 2nd shift assembly employee die on his way to work in a nasty motorcycle accident just outside of the building. Now this. I actually knew this one. I didn't really get along with him, but no one saw this coming. It really makes you value your life, you know.

11:48 am - Funny.
Jack Neal briefly became the proud owner of a pink convertible car after he managed to buy it for 9,000 pounds ($17,000) on the Internet despite being only three years old.
Jack's mother told the BBC she had left her password for the eBay auction site in her computer and her son used the "buy it now" option to complete the purchase.
"Jack's a whizz on the PC and just pressed all the right buttons," Rachel Neal said.

I'm moved.
Yep, that's right....it's really real now. I'm getting married and I'm moved in. Now if we could just get Scott home from india all would be good. Oh wait...he'll be home Thursday. Yeah! Only for a week, but YEAH!
Things have been good here. The house is pretty much remodeled (a few small things left)and I'm actually starting to have something to do at work, so that's good. I'm going to be running the APQP trainings. For those of you not associated with the Quality World (as I was not until 1 month ago) that stands for Advanced Product Quality Planning. In other words, let's fix the stuff before it goes into production so we don't have to fix it later. I know what you're thinking...that is soo not a Lauren job. But, I am doing that along with DCC (Design Collaboration Center) and MOS (Manufacturing Operations systems) and Workflow so it's pretty diverse. Anyways, who cares about my job.
On a sad note, Sosa had to go back to the Humane Society. I don't want to think about it, so that's all you're getting. I couldn't let him pee all over the new house. And Gracie had to go to the vet for a fat lip. I couldn't tell what was wrong, but she had bald spots on her chin and a fat lip. Dr. B figures the lip is from Babie finally getting up the nerve to fight back and the bald spots are because she was allergic to the food dish I had gotten her. Poor kitty. Got her a shot and she was back to psycho last night...although a little hestitant in her psychotic-ness in the new place.
Well, back to work.

10:33 am - It's official
I finally have a title.....APQP & MOS/Workflow Support Administrator
Really I think it means I do whatever I'm asked..."Lauren, will you train the next group of engineers on CPPD Workflow?" Sure. "Lauren, would you set up the trainings for the next 100 designers on APQP? Oh, and facilitate." Sure. "Lauren, would you check the DCC org chart and make sure everyone on it is still a Cat employee?" Sure.
You get the picture.

07:19 am - The Demerit System
ONE OF MY FRIENDS SENT ME THIS...I LIKE THIS SYSTEM!
What every man, married or otherwise, needs to know about women. This
clarifies things quite a bit!
For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when
dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works.
Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the game is played.
Here is a guide to the points system:
