Update on Life

Well another day at work and another day without Yahoo!!! For those of you who don't know at my job level within Cigna I'm only allowed access to Yahoo on the internet. Firewalls keep you from accessing anything outside of Yahoo and the reason it is yahoo is some sort of deal they made with Yahoo. Cigna seems to like to make deals with companies that basically keeps them from giving their employees more freedom. Their cafeteria has a strangle hold on the food that is in that building. Its 70 cents for a soda, 1.12 for a 20oz. Candy is aorund 75 to a full dollar. Its the biggest scam. Well I had gotten quite used to only being able to see Yahoo but this week the site won't load on all the Account Manager's computers. Its freaking annoying since most of the time during the day when we aren't training there is nothing to do. So what do i do? Harrass people with emails...

Our house hunt continues we looked at three homes last night. The first one was a dump, more than the place i lived in St. Elmo. The carpet was completely stained, the floor in one bedroom was moldy, it reaked of stale cigarettes and pets, their was a gap in the siding (meaning there was some missing), the kitchen was the size of my closet, and the whole house was sagging. Price you ask 115,000. It was rediculous. The other two homes were nice. One was a rehabbed house that was really nice but had structure problems and was real small. Plus wifey checked the tax records and they're selling way over what they paid for it. The third home was cool. It was a home built in the 60s and looked like it was still in the 60s. It was real big but would have need so much as far as updating every room needed to be redone as far as paint, stripping wall paper, new kitchen, new bathrooms. It was nice and would have been a cool second home but a little too big for us. We continue our search and we'll see. We want to get a house before christmas but thats a pretty unlikely goal. Other than that my favorite song right now is Minimum Wage by They Might be Giants. Listen to it, you'll love it and think of me...
