Day 183 – The Day of LLC

I did it!!!  I found an accountant and we made a LLC for me!  I feel great :)  Believe it or not the accountant was what I thought was going to be the hardest thing to find / deal with.  Also interesting thing, I found him simply by googling accountant and looking near my house and it turns out he is the same person I have used a long time ago and what a company I worked for also used.  Small world!

Also, I have had a hell of a time trying to get my last payments from the old company.  Why do companies always want to mess with employees money when they leave?  When I left GE it was the same way, they were f-ing around with my vacation pay and it took like 2 months to finally get it all and I had to go to the president of our division to get it done.  This company is no different and it is only a couple hundred dollars that they have already been paid for!!!  Stupid and it is blowing my mind.  First you let me know how you don’t need me or my billing capability and you can’t give me what is owed – guess maybe you needed me more than you thought if that is a struggle for you…

I want this blog to be something I can share my feelings and experiences, good or bad.  I don’t like to feel like I need to sensor myself so there it is.  And here is the deal, it is my right to have my own opinions and express those because if people don’t like it then they can chose not to read it.

I watch a YouTuber IISuperwomanII Vlog channel and she said something really good today.  If you have some time and can get through the other stuff or if you wanna skip to it, you should watch this because she makes pretty good points about the difference between equality and equity.  The good part starts at 03:27 and you can click HERE to watch.  I don’t want to restate it because she does such a great job herself.

OK, I purchased my new domain and will let you know what I decided on for a name and show you the logo I am going to go with as soon as I can point that site to a webpage :)  So excited!!!

The dogs are currently chewing on some rawhide bones.  Nickel always chews his for like 5 seconds and then decides he is going to bury it in the house to save for later.  When he can’t find the perfect spot he resigns himself to actually chewing on it :)  Crazy puppy!

Alright, I am going to get in the bed and have sweet dreams about the amazing possibilities!!!!

I had never heard this story which only surprises me because I have lived in Florida my whole life. Also, this was an amazingly brutal story. It made me so sad I just can't believe people are as horrible as in this book. I don't normally read about like true crime, but I was interested in this book for two reasons the hotel and the fact that this was similar to Gilded Age type wealth.

The book was well written but it is long. It also spans something like 70 years. Basically from around the 50s to now. I enjoyed the history part very much and of course now I must do additional research to see pictures and all that :)

I really do recommend this book for anyone into the true crime stuff. It is a little history that super relate to the crime, but that is the kind of stuff I am more into. It was a long book, something like 60 chapters, but still a quick read.

Day 182 – The Day I Could Breathe

I am finally done working for someone who I didn’t feel was appreciative enough of all my hard work. I knew from about 3 months in that it was not the situation I thought it would be. I was dreading having to quit when I got a new job, but it was made very easy for me when they confirmed that it wasn’t the place for me :)

Starting my own company to hold me over until I can work for the company is very interesting to me. I never thought that I would do this and I am happy that I do get to. Even if it is only for a little bit :)

The dogs were very bad last night. At around 01:00 they decided to get a 5th wind and raise hell. I was up with them until about 02:00. Not a happy camper.

I have now taken them out twice this evening and I think that I have decided that they need to eat earlier because they hardly ate this evening. I don’t like that because they are very active and they need to eat.

Alright, gonna mess around for a bit :)

I made a logo, I am not sure that it is what I am going with basically with the name. I can be very creative or just do something simple :)

I suppose I am going to call it a night. It is about bedtime anyway!!

Day 181 – The Day I Decided to Start an LLC!

I have decided that I am going to start an LLC. I am going to accept all name ideas, got one yesterday that was something like Reds Stick Together? Anyway, people are funny!!

I just walked with the puppies and found another turtle, that is two or the same one twice today. I think I am going to google like a paint or something to mark them that doesn’t hurt them. I am not 100% sure what kind they are but they are little and so sweet and I don’t want the puppies to get them but for some reason they always do, not just these dogs, ALL of our dogs have done that.

SO HOT!! I am sweating from just walking around out there. Amazing.

I am going to grab me some food, bologna and cheese I think :) Then I am doing some research…

And now it is raining and that means no more playing outside.

Wait, the dogs don’t seem to understand the it’s wet out so I don’t wanna go. Guess I will go. Yep, pretty wet out.

Day 180 – The Day I Flew In and then Flew Out

Today I am in Atlanta for the afternoon for a training class. I flew in this morning and am headed back tonight. This isn’t too bad of a gig, but I will get home later than I like.

I am with Construction and am about to start my session with them. It is supposed to be half a day and I am not sure I am going to be able to stretch it that far, which is actually good because it means that people are really getting it.

I rented a Fiat 500 at the airport. It is a pretty comfy vehicle, but a bit under powered. I am sure the car rental place doesn’t have the most powerful model, but there is nothing worse then being under powered :(

Alright, will get back to you later :)

I sat next to someone at the airport who was coming from Turkey. She said all these cool things she did while she was there and I was so jealous! It sounded AMAZING :) I also found out that right before the airport was bombed. Crazy world.

Made it home safe and sound and now I am going to bed!!

Day 179 – The First Day of the Last Week!!

Today is officially the last Monday at my current job!  I am so happy and excited because I feel like this is the first steps to the last job I will have.

I went to a field office to help construction with the new application and it went really well.  We have worked really hard to improve the program and it is nice when people express their happiness with the changes.  This is the same place I went last week, but with a different group of people.

Now, when I sit at my desk in my room, Nickel thinks it is play time so he sits next to me and “talks” to me in a loud whining voice. I am going to try to record it and post it, but I just haven’t yet.

I managed to break my website just a little while ago, but luckily Paul fixed it. Not sure what was wrong, but he wants cake as payment.

My sister just got here and brought dinner so let’s go see what that is about :) I had a couple wings and it was pretty good. I am about to have a hot dog since I have been out twice with the puppies and am working up an appetite :) Hotdog was good too!

I just had to get 3 balls out from under the cabinet that Nickel lost. Played again…

I want to jump in the shower, but I know that I have several more walks with the dogs still…

And finally it is getting dark and I am going to get to bed – I have an early flight tomorrow :)

Day 178 – The Laziest SunDay :)

Today, laundry day – I did not start laundry until after 16:00 – CRAZY!!  To be fair, my book is getting very good and I thought I was going to be able to finish it and I never did.  Not even while I was doing laundry and I think I was reading until about 01:00 in the morning!

The dogs were not too bad today, it was so humid I did not want to go out last night.

What was for dinner you ask, BEENIE WEENIES!!!  The best dinner ever :)

I have just done nothing today except read, eat, do laundry, and sleep.  BYE!!

Day 177 – Hair Day

I got my hair done today and it looks AMAZING!!!!!!  The salon often has new stylists there and today I say a new group and they always love what Charlotte does with my hair.  They were loving on it for real.  It looks more amazing than usual.  I don’t know what it is but it is so bright and the highlights are popping :)

I am going to start an LLC.  I have been wanting to do this for a little while, but I am not really sure why.  I don’t really need to do it for my new big adventure but I think I am going to use it as my excuse :)

I just tried to play with the puppies, but it didn’t last long.  I took 3 tennis balls outside, but Nickel managed to lose them ALL!  He has to be the boss, he has to get every ball and if I don’t throw his far enough away then he goes after it too.  So had to come back in.  Just now he decides to come stick his face right by my desk and start whining.  Guess we will go out again.  And again they don’t really wanna play.  I think it is just too hot.  So many people were commenting on it.

I am gonna go get me some nice cold water, probably should make sure that the dogs also have some :)

Day 176 – The Day of the Battle with Adobe and Word!

I am sitting here sweating so bad because I have been out running the dogs and it is HOT!!!!!!  OK, today – I started with a project this morning of converting a document to PDF and then I had to do a couple other things to that.  So not only did Word kick my butt, but so did Adobe after I finally got it done.

We had some kind of microwave dinner and it was alright but not AMAZING.  I am wanting some Panda Express because it has been a while – you know!!

I think I have won them out properly – or the heat has at least.  I am ready to take a shower I am so sticky and YUCK.

Today I found a picture of the derail that happened at Fostoria, the place I was last week.  It is not great because it is a derail, but it shows how crazy that place is.

I have a hair appointment tomorrow and that makes me very happy :)  I also need to do other things at the mall so yeah!

Just went for another walk – it is after 8pm, I am going to take a shower and call the day DONE :)

This is Fostoria, OH showing the derailment they just had.  The F Tower I was working in is the one in the center of the screen to the left of the tracks that cross.

Day 175 – The Day I Got A New Job

Well, it didn’t take long to get this worked out :)  I am going to contract with a local company so that I can keep on my project.  I am going to use 1099 so now I need to read up on that to make sure I don’t mess up :)  I did a little bit to determine the rate I needed, but not total research.  I am so very excited!!

My work meeting got cancelled for today and rescheduled for Monday.  Tomorrow I have an early meeting and then another in the afternoon.  Good way to finish out the week.

I need to get something to eat.  I am about cereal-ed out!  Gotta see what we got :)

We ended up having some pizza – I know how original :)  But it wasn’t the kind we normally get and not that great.

I, of course, played with the dogs a million times.  Here are some pics of the puppies playing – we also go for “walks” (I think I might have mentioned this before) – basically we walk to the gate and they run through the woods and we come back.  They are so silly :)
