Happy Mother's Day to ME!!!!!!!

I really thought I was going to get shafted again this year. However my husband came through & got me the iPod I've been wanting for YEARS!!! He bought me one years ago for our anniversary but I had to return it when my dog hurt her leg & had a huge vet bill to pay. I received a very wonderful 80gig Video iPod to put my huge CD collection on plus some Star Trek episodes...LOL.

Now I have to make good on Father's day...

Job safe...what now?

Well, found out that I'm safe with my job, but my two best friends were not. Their last day on the job is next Friday. The peoople I work with are taking them out to Olive Garden on Friday. My friends seem positive about it & we are lucky that our company provides an excellent severance package, but it will be lonely for me.

Funny thing is that our workload is going up with the deletion of 3 people, including any cross-trainers that we have. How ironic is that? So, I hope I don't lose my sanity.

I've been working 70 hours a week for the past 3 weeks, so I am looking forward to a vacation the first week of April.

Me?...unemployed???

Found out last week that our company is down-sizing. The reality is really setting in now that everyone I work with is wondering if they will be the one offered a package. I am 7 weeks short of my 10 year anniversary with the company. I'm trying not to be concerned, but it's hard not to think about it. I can't help but have this overwhelming feeling of being screwed out of my tenure with the company...

Oh well, c'est le vie! I'll possibly know something by Friday.

Phony Photo Booth

This was posted by NBC at YouTube but I don't know what show it came from. Very funny!

Prince of Tennis: Ending Theme 2 (Keep Your Style)

PoT Ending 2 - Keep Your Style

Added Prince of Tennis Endings (ED) songs

Cartoon Network/Viz have edited the original music from the opening/ending credits of Prince of Tennis. Since most anime fans are sticklers for not having edits in their anime, I am assuming the edits were due to licensing rights of the OP/ED songs. From what I've read, it can be very expensive to license the songs because they have to negotiate with the artists who recorded them -- the show & the songs are rarely a package deal.

So, I am linking the music with video on my blog. Since I haven't seen the OP/EDs on the actual DVDs, I'm hoping the OP/EDs are intact -- at least on the DVDs.
