battle of the ant nearing an end

Well the situation never really got better, it would seem to be looking like the end is near and then I would wake up to 30 of those little bastards all over the place and they were expanding to areas further away in the kitchen. After a bad day at work on Wednesday I decided it would be wise to run a few errands; Sam’s Club for veggies, Sally’s to return the flat iron, Menards for more/new/different ant traps and Pepe’s for dinner cause that is of course my comfort food. Well I clean up the counter again and place just 1! of those terro traps on the counter. By . . . → Read More: battle of the ant nearing an end

The top 10

A short while back some krannert guy decided that in order to create a better work enviroment and have a team of high performers we needed to rank our employees. While this strategy has worked for many years successfully at many companies success is entirely dependant on implementation. Guess what itap does poorly? Give up? IMPLEMENTATION! Yet again we have implemented something, sucked at it and created more heartache than good.

First our super duper non-elected VP (recenlty changed to exectutive director) decided that the bottom 10% was not enough we need to list our bottom 20% or something stupid like that. But the real problem lies in the . . . → Read More: The top 10

the Ants-update

So I have cleaned the entire kitchen with vinegar as recommended by the www. I have also placed bay leaves around the counter top because apparently they don’t like that smell. TOO bad for them. Now we must wait, it’s been a good hour since I have seen one. 🙂

Sugar Ants

So I have been the victim of a home invasion, not the brutal personally attacked kind but the dirty ant type. Most everyone should know by now that I am sort of a clean and neat freak. Yes OCD could be the cause. But I take great pride in my kitchen and am just sick over these little bastards. I bought traps, apparently they are the good kind. In research today I have found that my cleaning and traps are about all I can do. 🙁 I will however switch cleaning agents the www says that vinegar and bleach are good cleaners as it removes the pheromone trail. I guess . . . → Read More: Sugar Ants

do ya ever

do something that you are pretty proud of and just wish the world would take notice? Do you like yell at the entire world and say hey look at me, look at what I did? I mean this generally works for children and my dogs but as an adult?

The Rock

No silly not that big hunk of burning love Duane Johnson of WWF fame the big FUCKING ROCK that was flipped out by a lawnmower yesterday and chipped the paint on my car. MY BABY! You may or may not know just how OCD I really am about that car but just go with me I am. So we are returning to work from lunch and all of the sudden somtething hits my side of the car (passenger) and almost scares the pee right out of me. I open the door before Kerry can get her pulled over and immediatly spot the damage. Of course I did, I rub that . . . → Read More: The Rock

Sunday Morning

Ok, while sitting here icing down my leg. What a fun time! I have been trying to process some of the HDR and Digital IR. That is so much work and some of them really need a two monitor and mouse set up. BUT there are 100s of photos for me to work on. Have I mentioned that the internet here in Utah SUCKS? Well it does. So I am loading up 3 small pictures to give you a taste of how things are going. Sorry for the small size you will get the big ones later!!!

This is St. George Dinasour Discover Site @ Johnson Farm. Basically the story . . . → Read More: Sunday Morning

Wednesday’s post

Finally I have air in my room and I could sleep. You know that was until the phone rang @ 4:19 am. Wrong number. You only need to dial the floor number and the room number. <RANT> let me tell you how disappointed I am with my room at the Palazzo. Its filled with construction rush issues. The furniture is beat up pretty bad for only being open since Dec. The window is so dirty that you can’t see out of it and I am sure it has never been cleaned. Our stay here started out rough, no king size bed. But I guess there are worse things like drue . . . → Read More: Wednesday’s post

Tuesday is full of fun

Well after arriving really LATE last-night we set up our new “home”. Unpacked and made things look all homey. Off to bed at about 2:30 am IND time. I had trouble sleeping it was too HOT, my legs ached and I couldn’t get comfy. The pone rings at 5 am, oops not everyone knew I was in Vegas. Didn’t matter much I wasn’t sleeping. I finally got up around 6:30 am or so and read all the magazines in the room. It is still DMAN HOT in our room. Once KLT got up I called about the heat and the loud buzzing noise in my bathroom. They “fixed” it, showers, . . . → Read More: Tuesday is full of fun
