Hey everyone I am getting a new car. I am going from a Honda Element to this great new Scion Tc. I had to get it ordered. I can't wait to drive it. It is a five speed. I did just get the bones version except I upgraded the sterio to the Ipod version. I am getting it in the Flint Mica color. I will update the pictures as soon as I get the car.

Random Chat...

Ever Notice...




Ever Notice how people act? It's called 2 faced. You know when people act and say things when they are around, and then say and act a totally different way when they are behind your back? It's Kind of like this picture. Usually it is someone that is nice and then they get evil. Not alot of times do you see someone nice to you and then plan dull behind your back. It just doesn't make a lot of sense. Are people this way because they are just mean or are they depressed? Would it be fair to call it multiple personality? I think my boss is this way.
Example:
I have worked in my company for just about 2 years now. When I first started to deal with him he would be all stern voice, showing his authority and coming down on me when I would make a mistake. Then he would turn around and talk with my other boss like I was the most trusted one he works with. Let me tell you this is such a mind *uck.
On top of the he doesn't even know my name. He calls me by my last name which he thinks is Dobson. I don't have a clue where he got that name. Get this no one even has the courage to correct him. So he speaks about me and I don't even get any credit for it. Is this nuts or what?
Ever Notice...
I am surrounded by certain numbers in my life. They are 2, 6, 12. I can't seem to get away from these numbers. Today I checked my horoscope and my number was 2. Insane.
I need a new job. I feel like I am not challenged enough here. I am everyones Bitch. I am doing all the work that no one else wants to do. I have to admit that I do things that are positive and I never complain about doing it. But come on! This is crazy. I am in a dieing company that doesn't have any plans to change its ways and I am stuck in the middle of it.
I do have to say that I am looking for a new place of work. Everything that I do find that I know I am qualified for I get nothing. No responce. I know that all I have to do is get a chance to prove that I can make it happen. Untill then i am going to keep banging my head against this computer hoping it will make it all go away.

Migraines, More Then a Headache

Are you suffering from Migraines?
Migraines are one of my biggest problems. I have to say that I suffer from them. Yes, I went almost 26 years of my life without getting one. I was one of thoughs people who thought I have had one of these before in my life. Now that I have had a Migraine I now know that what I used to get as a young kid was just a tension headache.

What is a Migraine?
A migraine is a headache that is severe pain felt in the front, back, and sometimes both areas of the head. It mostly can be felt in the front of the head near the eyes or the ears and or temples. A severe migraine can cause nausea, and vomiting. You can become very sensitive to light and sound. Most migraines start in the morning and can last any where from 2 hours to 2 days. More migraines occur in woman then men.

Causes
There are many things that can cause a migraine. To find what triggers your migraines you should keep a migraine diary. Write down what you were doing, what time of day, eating habits, lighting, sounds, everything that could trigger your headaches. Here are a list of triggers.
  • Lack of Sleep
  • Bright Light or Loud Sounds
  • Stress or Anxiety
  • Weather Changes
  • Chocolate, Alcohol, or Nicotine
  • Some Foods, or Food Additives
  • MSG
  • Hormone Changes before Menstrual Cycle

Types

There are many types of Migraines. Most people have the common, or classic migraine. The Classic Migraine tends to have visual symptoms 10 to 30 before the migraine attack. This is known as "Aura". I always get Aura before my migraines attack me. It isn't a pleasant feeling. It feels alot like being on a boat in really high waves.

Aura

  • Blurry lines, flashes of light, or zigzag lines
  • Blind spots or even the loses vision for short periods.

Common migraines tend to not have Aura and mostly have nausea, or vomiting.

Treatment

Now I have been told by my doctor that there isn't a cure to the migraine. There are ways to help the pain caused by one. For myself the best treatment is sleep. Sometimes a cool compress for my forehead. I have been given some medicine that has to stay out of the sun light. That medicine didn't help me to much.

  • Sleep
  • Cool compress
  • Doing relaxing exercises
  • Eating healthy
  • Massage
  • Medicines

Here are some websites that will give you more information.

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), NIH, HHS

American Council for Headache Education (ACHE)

American Headache Society

Migraine Awareness Group: A National Understanding For Migraineurs (MAGNUM)

National Headache Foundation

The Untouchable, Why Don't I Agree

Day 1
Today at (I will leave blank) they started to let people go. By letting go I mean fire people. The unknowing souls that got there lives changed didn't even see it coming. This is crazy. There is a thick feeling of shock and awe. ( Some one tell Bush this is how its done) There are a few Untouchables in the office that didn't seem to mind. Laughing and having a good time. Where the others, weren't.

Why do I feel like the phones are being monitored and the emails be checked? It went from being a fun safe work place to... Well lets just say that it isn't as fun. I have been told that I am an untouchable, why don't I agree? I see a lot of people looking at me as if I am wearing one of those bulls eyes. People seem to be really shocked but there eyes tell another story.

Day 2
Its starting all over. The President is in today. As I walked in the building at 8:03 am I was thinking just get to your desk and get busy. No one will notice you walked in 3 min after. As I am walking in, I see many other people walking in a little late too. It was storming pretty bad out. So I thought I would hide in line like ants, no one should notice me. As I turn the corner and make it to the danger zone of the long hallway I think this is it I can make it. Put it in high gear and go. To my surprise, I look up and there is someone walking towards me. Oh shit, its the President of the company. (What to do, what to do? I could make a B line to the mail room. No just keep walking he wont notice you. Then I take good look at him, our eyes meet and we both have the same look on our faces)
We are practically wearing the same outfit. Same color shirt, pants, and same color shoes. Oh man just my luck that I decide to be the CEO's twin today. As he walks in my direction he says:

Frank: Hello Dave
Daws122: Hello Frank
Frank: (In an awkward tone) Looking good today
Daws122: Thanks, you too

Then he holds out his hand to shake mine. (thinking to myself: Firm, not to firm but firm hand shake) So when I put my hand in his I grab tight and squeeze. POP! That was the noise I hear from his hand. Damn I hurt the guy I thought. What am I doing? I squeezed like there was juice coming out of his hand. He says nothing but why don't I feel okay. Instead of looking at him to see if it hurt I turned and took off to my off where I have been since.
