ink ♥ ablaze
update: i added my first graphic section 'fashion scans' to content. will be updated frequently {aka whenever my magazine subscriptions grace my mailbox} We might kiss when we are alone, when nobody's watching. We might take it home, we might make out when nobody's there. It's not that we're scared. It's just that it's delicate.
fall fashionista
Tuesday September 1, 2009.
well, its officially the end of summer. september marks a time when our wardrobes shift into cozy sweaters, cardigans and covered-up allure. Fall is my favorite time of year to buy clothes. I love love looove it! There is just something so infinetly sexy about cozy cover-ups with low necklines and high hemlines... ;-)

my week long vacation was amazing. I had so much time to put up my feet and relax! I also got hella wasted with tony and a few friends {one thing that was on my to do list. heh heh!} and took a few trips up to rockport to work on the Bronco. We also took a trip to the property up echo canyon which was gorgeous! I really enjoyed my vacay...sigh! Time passes so fast!

Im actually scheduled to go into work tonight at 3:30am. Yep. You heard me right. Why? I dont really know. Something about no flex days left this, cant take unpaid time off that...hell, cant you just let me stay home for 3 fuckin hours? is that too much to ask!? ugh...oh to be an adult. such adventures.

In a final thought, i decided to hold back on applying for that temp position. It took a lot of hard thinking, but in the end i decided since I love where I am now, Im not going to risk that unless its for a permanent position. If I did get the temp job, when that time was up I would not be able to go back on graves, which would be a serious problem! If I am going to be a cae, im staying on graves. no ifs ands or buts. So I dont want to get the shit outta luck treatment when im done filling in for support. {graves are nearly impossible to get on. you really only get on that shift if someone is fired. then hope to god they choose you and not one of twenty other people dieing to get that shift} Unless its a full time, 100% bonafied permanent position, its not worth it to risk just to be someones maternity leave biotch...

eek!
Friday August 21, 2009.

way to put my foot in my mouth! just after i blogged my ass off about promoting to a support position, the very next day there was a job posting for a team lead position! eeeek! The only problem is that this is a "temporary" position. Not permanent. When its over you go back to the phones...i guess? So, obviously, I'm hesitant to apply.

I cant decide if it would be more beneficial to me to apply, get it, and then wait again for a permenant position? Or just wait for the permenant position to come through and then apply? Choices, choices, choices...I mean, I would be an obvious candidate when a real position did open up...but I still dont know if I want to do the temp job or not...

One bright shining side to this story though, its that I am fully qualified for the job! I was never sure on the specifics for the job, so I poured over the application sheet for all the details and I was so pleasantly releived! If anything, my stats scream out "pick me! pick me!" I'm good on everything, even the "social" aspects like must possess a friendly and positive nature , create an enviornment of success...I would use those words to describe myself, thank you very much!

having excellent qualifications for the position is so exciting! the only thing I have to make sure of is to maintane my attendence at an acceptable level. Should be easy enough...gulp. In theory, anyway...I mean, if you wanna get all "technical" on my ass, my attendence is, oh, how do you say...on the f***ing line. But I have some points rolling off in Septmember so I pray that puts me in the clear!

We'll see how everything goes I guess! Updates shortly. I'll let you know what happens...

ambition and intrigue
Wednesday August 19, 2009.

still reeling from my almost-not-quite prego experience, (and by that i mean. yes. i feel really lame and r-tarded still). but i'm doing better i guess. you know whats really bothering me though? the onset of fall! noooo....i dont want sumer to be over (*sniffle*), ive been working so hard at my job i feel like i havent even had enough time to enjoy it! or even notice the blue skies, sunshiny days, or hot weather. what a bummer...

i do have the whole next week off though. im going to have to squeeze a whole summer into that week! Im talking camping, bonfires, all nighters, crushed beer can pyramids...the whole nine yards baby! summer isnt over yet, theres still time to make some hella good memories...

well in other news tony (my man) got a Bronco from Nephi he's going to be working on. It doesnt run: needs the motor mounted in place and some other miscellanious technical crap i cant talk about and sound like i know what im saying...he bought it for $800 and its in really good shape, so if we can get it running its going to be a superb deal. if is the key word though...

At work things are so hectic. with the economy being so shitty, even a top company like comcast is having some hard times. Only in retrospect really, our company is actually doing very well. their just taking steps to ensure that it stays that way. the new mexico and arizona call centers are being eliminated, with the call flow coming here in utah and colorado. so we need to hire 75 new employees! madness! that means new supervisor and support positions though, which i have been biding my time patiently to wait for those opportunites to arise. cross my fingers! (x) if a position opens im so going for it, and i think i have a really good chance and getting hired. my stats are pehnominal (if i do say so myself!) and with my great verbal/writing skills and experience with the company for as long as ive been here...yeah. good chances.

it still ties my tummy in knots thinking about doing that though. so exciting and terrifying at the same time!

ugh...
Friday August 14, 2009.

got my period tonight.

I feel like a dumbass.

....welcome to my fuckin' life.

In other less ineresting news I've finally uploaded a blogging cms and its working wonderfully :) it's cutenews . I'm actually pretty impressed with it. I was hesitant to try it, but its a really simple and powerful tool. And I'm very pleased the layout is totally freeform :D . Thats a huge prerequisit for me with any cms, especially a blogging cms. Im very satisfied, i'll be integrating a tutorial on it soon to help out anyone else who may find it useful.

Well, I'm very very sleepy. At work right now {as usual} and need my third cup of coffee. So for now I say adeu' , see you soon.

paranoia
Thursday August 13, 2009.
well i managed to coerce my man (drag, really. i mean lets be honest here) down to walmart to go get some more prego tests. Yep. I caved. And god punished me by making it invalid. That means one of the lines thats supposed to show up for a viable test didnt show up, so the whole thing is a sham.

noooooooo...


so, like any sane minded woman would do i ran down to the local walmart to grab another 2-pack.


this time i was extreemly careful. i put my pee into a cup and put the absorbent tip thingy in for exactly 5 seconds, kept the tip facing down while i put the cap on, and immidietly put it face up on the bathroom sink. Im like a pro.


it is now three days after my expected period.


...still negative.

what is it about?

a lot of things, actually. this website is my personal sanctuary for everything that means something to me. my blog for the chronicle of my thoughts and life, articles on webdesign that are easy to understand and fun to read, my unique hand-made graphics, and creative content to inspire my readers to be themselves and achieve their dreams! this little corner of cyberspace is my temple. my escape. my zen for expression.

I love to write and be creative. And I love to teach and inspire others. But most of all, just have fun! that's what Ink Ablaze is all about. plain and simple ♥


future projects

so, where is this going, exactly? jeez...good question. I think I want to devote a content area to style, makeup and hair with product reviews and tips and tricks. i love style network and adore their makeup shows, which give me a lot of inspiration. beleive it or not i get tons of compliments on my makeup and the way i style my hair (im shocked by it most of the time and really flattered). I was a "late bloomer" i guess you could say. I didnt start wearing mascara until I was 16. serisously. and words such as "blowdryer" and "flatiron" were not in my dictionary (embarassing, i know). my hair has a lot of natural wave and curl to it, which is how i perfer to style my hair. I think "straight" is way too overdone by women these days.

um...maybe something on wearing glasses too. some people are so discriminitory towards wearing glasses, but i think if you can pick out the right shape and style for your face, you can look so sexy and amazing ! I've worn glasses for years and never had a problem getting attention from guys ( and girls, lol) and a lot of people i beleive find it refreshing and unique.

eventually maybe even a section for my fiction writing. maybe. i dont know if im brave enough for that...
