  	Hi Everyone!<br/><br/>x.x So here's the story. I was not able to write at all last week. On Tuesday, I was layed off from my job. Yes, this is the one that I didn't like. I was happy to be leaving, but at the same time that meant that neither my boyfriend nor I had a job. <br/><br/>Soooo... I spent all last week and this weekend frantically calling places and searching for a new job before bills roll around. I have yet to find a job, but.. I have hopes that one of the places will call me back with good news.<br/><br/>I'm sorry that I could not log on or present y'all with a good short story, but I certainly wanted to. Maybe next time?<br/><br/>Right now my brain is all.. gooey because I have to worry about bills, no job, and I am going to be moving this coming Friday.<br/><br/>Sorry everyone!

However, my boss has VNC, a program that allows him to spy on my computer while he sits at his.<br/><br/>Then he can take control of my computer, exit out of what I am doing, or.. like once, he pulled up Word pad and asked why I wasn't working. At that time I was looking for a nice desktop wallpaper for my computer.<br/><br/>So I can't really do this. Not to imagine, I don't have my own lil' corner desk area and a lot of bosses higher than mine pass through there. They like to spy on what people are doing too. They just love to get people in trouble..<br/><br/>

  	Oooh.. Baring breasts, huh? That's getting a bit risque, isn't it?<br/><br/>Although, I suppose we would be doing that anyway since we are walking about bare bottomed.<br/><br/>Oh, this zombie, Paul? *<em>Keeps her distance after giving the zombie a shove in Paul's direction</em>* He's been trying to gnaw on my arm this entire time! Nasty bugger. <br/><br/>No, no. Not me, go to him. <br/><br/>They're not very smart either. <br/><br/>Oh, a ghoul? =) Very interesting. *<em>Poke poke</em>*

  	<em>Rita J. wrote: There have been times when people have come up to me and said, &quot;What beautiful blue eyes you have!&quot; And twice my dear, dear husband (ahem, do I get brownie points for that?) told me that my eyes looked purple. </em><br/><br/>I know a lot of people who have &quot;Hazel&quot; eyes. I think the name should just be changed to &quot;Chameleon&quot; because I swear they are always changing. <br/><br/>That or just hues of green are constantly changing. My own eyes are usually a light green with yellow and dark circle around the iris. However, there are mornings that my coworker tells me that my eyes look much lighter, like a yellow.<br/><br/>*<em>Ahem</em>*<br/><br/>I do plan on taking my laptop with me to my parents' house this weekend. They live in the countryside so I will be sitting down at some quiet points to run through my writing so far and try to limit those pesky overused verbs/adjectives.
