Long time no see !!

Hi all!  Not sure if there's anyone still passing through my site.  It sure has been a while!  Yikes...Life has just been very busy.  I hope to start making a regular apprearance...I miss everyone .  And boy do I need to post a new pic!  That thing is over 6 years old!!  Wow time sure flies when you join the real world LOL.

Talk to ya again soon!!

Well I'm feeling somewhat better than my last post.  I'm afraid I was seriously down in the dumps...but I'm all better now and ready for some serious blogging!!

First off I want to appologize to all of those that I've neglected in the passed 10 months...I promise to visit all of your sites soon.  I'm anxious to find out how all of you are doing.  Plus none of you are gonna visit my site till I visit yours and let you know that I'm still alive!!

Well I gotta get some rest cause I have to wake up early...I'll chat with you all soon!! Bye!

Wow...New Orleans is quite the town!!  I couldn't believe how it was...and I'm not even sure if I enjoyed it. 

Ok, well that's a lie...the buildings and everything cultural was beautiful, but I could have done without the stench on Bourbon Street...Yuck!

All in all the trip was ok...eventhough I learned a lot of things about my co-workers that I never imagined before...bad things...crazy things...wierd things...but I'm not here to judge so I won't.  People are people whether you think they are doing something wrong or not...it's not your place to say anything...*sigh*

Oh and another thing...Why do men lie?!  Can anyone help me out?! 

Talk to ya later...Luv ya

Hey Hey Hey...What's up everyone?!  Well I know that there hasn't been much traffic on here at all, but I hope to change all that.  ReRe's back!!!

Well let me tell you all a bit about what I've been up to...hmmm...Mostly work and all that fun life stuff.  Now that I'm out of school and living in the "Real World" ...I couldn't wait to start, but now I've realized that it's all so mundane...The same thing day in and day out.  BLAH!!  It's hard to stay motivated and interested in a job in an industry that's male dominated.  They treat me like shit most of the time...

Let me explain.  I work on the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.  It's hard for women to break through in this place because you are constantly having to prove yourself.  You have to be relentless, hard, tough...There's no room for error...

I was told two rules when I started this job:

1) Never date anyone that works on the same trading floor as you;

2) Never let them see you cry.

Number two is the hardest...I've lost count of the number of times that I've felt like everything was just going to fall apart.  It happend again today...

The day started off really rough cause I was rudely awakened in the morning, and nothing was working out the way it should.  Then we ended up being extremely busy for the first 3 hours of the day...When it's really busy...mistakes are made, and it seemed like I was the only one around to blame...even if it wasn't my fault...It's hard not to take it personally, especially after being yelled by several different people.

Don't get me wrong, this place is incredibly interesting sometimes as well.  When people are in a good mood, it's a wonderful place to work.  It was funny cause today one of our clerks showed up late and so they made him run to get everyone else in the company lunch (about 20 people).  They made him go to several different restaurants...lets just say he probably won't ever come in late again after this!!

Well I think I'm gonna hit the sack...I'll drop by soon with more CME tales!!

Hi everyone!!  It sure has been a while and I missed everyone sooo much!

Things have been really crazy in the past several months, but I'm happy to say that I've settled down a little.  I'm finally hooked up to DSL (and loving it!) so I will be making regular appearances once again!!

Anyway, I'll write more later...Love ya!
