0. Within less than a week of filing my taxes, my refund was deposited on Monday. Woot! Remember before efile, you had to wait weeks?
1. I have yet to catch up on last weeks Live Journal friends posts. Sorry guys. I will.
2. With my bad foot, I did train at the gym with trainer last night. Shoulders, abs, forearms.
3. I have been happy with Kaiser so far but after Tuesday's trying to get my foot X-Ray-ed, the back and fourth communication from my unresponsive Dr. Now I wish I were on Blue Cross.With the worse sprain/fracture in 15 yrs, I was concerned.
4. I am not sure if we just don't get along, our chemistry is off, but the first hour of being back at work, the maintenance man tells me stuff, that the woman covering for me, was complaining about some stuff I have done, how nice it was with me away, my not picking on him. And that he was hoping something went wrong on my vacation (jealous I went), and glad I sprained my foot. Then I get very agitated. Say something back. Then he gets mad. For some reason he really knows how to push my buttons.
Asshole! I am a slow learner. But his mind games, which tend to ebb and flow, are probably the reasons 7 before me have quit? In any case, he has no right to talk to me or any other manager like this (as I told him).
Well today he is now too nice. Oy!
5. I just looked at my hrs left for vacation. At an accrual rate of 6 hrs per month, it seems that it will take forever to accrue more time.
6. The only way to have a really nice vacation is to retire. By then, I will be too old for traveling, or not enough $$ (lol). No not lol, but :(
7. A memo for vacation time was faxed today from corporate. As of 2010, the if an employee has a max accrual rate of 2 weeks per yr, it can accrue up to 4 weeks total; and those that can accrue 3 weeks per year cannot exceed 6 weeks accrual. And all are now required to take at least 50% of their annual accrual rate off each year. So I now must take at least one week off per yr. That sucks.

Like the new shoe?
1. My Dr called. He apologized for the mishap. Told me the ankle is fine, but a small fracture in the bone midway up from the small toe. I knew that. I told him, I sensed that something was not right.
2. So I went in and saw him and he ordered a shoe I have to wear. Color black was not available :(
3. I told him the flip flop straps squished the bones of the foot as I twisted. He could not believe that I still walked around in Mexico, and went dancing (the same day), with the fracture. I am fairly/very pain resistant. And pretty stubborn too.
4. He said keep the weight off the foot, but I will still do gym and all (upper body only,especially arms, no pressure standing if possible. No leg work :(. Yes I am stubborn.
5. Since I did a major sprain yrs ago, and many after that, he said that my tendons are stretched and more sprains will be common. So guess that means low pumps on Halloween.
6.This is no big deal. At least I did not break something major. I am more concerned about the look than the reason I should be wearing this. Just not too fashionable. It will stand out at the Powerhouse/Chaps II! lol

my nicknames over time :)
Mar. 26th, 2009 10:22 pmOver the yrs friends/family have labeled me with many nicknames
1. My sister used to call me KiKi (instead of Ricky)
2. Then in high school, the PE teacher called me tupes. He could not say my last name Latulippe (La-tu-leep). So I had 4 yrs of that. I sort of liked that, coming from an ex 49'er coach, and hot black man. I think he really liked me in spite of my non athletic abilities.
3. Then in college I was called Rickster (I liked that one)
4. Then my first gay friend called me Daisy. He, like my PE coach could not remember or pronounce my last name. He knew it was a flower of some sort. So he picked Daisy. "Hi Daisy!" he yells to me, as I enter a leather bar (Oy!)
5. Then a bear of a hunk friend lost his job, so I rented my couch to him (he could never share beds with anyone. Although we had sex often :). We were watching cartoons one day, and Chip and Dale were on. Somehow we ended up calling each other those names. I was Chip. This went on for years :)
6. Then later on, other names, whore, slut, tramp, were common place names for me from my friends. At least I was not named butt hole or dickhead :)
7. The more recent one of the last 6 years, a friend decided to call me Snatch. Not sure why, but I thought it funny, and did not bother me much.
8. So as of last week, during my trip to Mexico, a new name arose. We were talking of old tv shows, and Bewitched came up, with discussion of our favorite characters
9. I mentioned that I liked goofy Aunt Clara. And that her obsession with door knobs was interesting, and that I sort of had or, was considering collecting them myself.
10. My late partner was an antique dealer, and of course in our travels in and out of estates, antique stores, I realized that Aunt Clara had a valid hobby. There are some absolutely gorgeous doorknobs out there. Hand crafted, some in crystal, some in silver with embossed designs. Some out of beautifully carved wood.
11. I never bought one or many. For where do you store them? Note: We did visit an estate sale, where that deceased person did collect that very thing.
So as of last week, Ho now calls me Aunt Clara :)
What are or were your nicknames?
