Attitude Schmatitude

Hellooooooo o o o Monday! Hello new month! Hello friends!
First and foremost, check out the new links on my side bar. There are new Buy Stuff links and a couple of new blog links. 
So there is a great deal going on in the world of Wicked. For the most part, all is great. I was finally able to get my contract scanned and sent over to XoXo Publishing. It took a minute to get the time together and my damn scanner working so I kinda started to panic like they might want to take it away because I freaking procrastinated. *phew*
So that is done. *squeeeee*
I don’t know what this means though. Like, what is the next step? What do published authors actually do?!
Anyway, I hit a huge goal at work this last month. I am still a tad in disbelief that I did it; you know, going back to the whole scared of success business I go through every day. I am getting better at believing each and every day.
What this has done for me is afewfold.
Every month I feel more invested in our team. It’s crazy but we are a bunch of vulgar and inappropriate nerds and we all (for the most part) click together. When we are on, we are hot. Anyway, as I wes saying … as I get more invested, I get more team territorial. Meaning, when someone is acting like an asshole … I take it kinda personally.
I am not a fan of bad attitude. Like bad attitude where you are your only concern and everyone else can fuck off. Where you try and act as if you are above everyone else, to the point where it is borderline disrespect. The way I roll is that I am all in. If I am going to spend the bulk of my day away from the 3 most important people in my life, I am not going to half-ass it or disrespect it. And I don’t think that anyone else should either. Mainly because it affects me too when you are a fucking beeyotch.
Attitude is everything. It makes and breaks … and the line that attitude teeters on to either make or break … is a fucking thin one.
I don’t like this “I am better than you attitude” in my presence. It makes me want to chicken choke a bitch.
This is my stance on it:
If you think you should be running the show, and you are not … maybe that is for a reason.
If you need to name drop to make yourself feel better … maybe you should find an alternative soothing method.
If you cannot spend an extra 10 minutes of your important little life in order to be a part in a really awesome moment with a really awesome team … maybe you should find a new job.
Maybe … just maybe … you should look up the definition of team and then see if you can comprehend exactly what in the hell it means to be a contributor on it.
In other news, Charli’s blatant refusal to use the potty has since had a turn around. She has officially stopped freaking the hell out every time we bring it up. Now, when I ask … she goes. The next step is getting her motivated to tell us, without us having to ask her eleventy million times an hour.
Annnnnnnnd today she pooped! For the first time! YAY!
Other than that, I have got nothin’. Nothin’ but a new month where I am going to work my ass off to hit my goals. I have my eyes on the prize and I am ready to make it consistent achievement every single month.
What is new with you?!
If you could be famous (a household name), what would you like to be famous for?
If you could go back to any moment in history, where would you go?

Ooooh, FIRST!!! I should point out that I’ve been perusing old Myspace blogs for the last couple of hours
Anywho… I want to be famous for writing, duh! Of course, that means I’ll have to write. Hmmph.
I don’t have a specific date or event in mind to go back to, but I think I’d like to be around shortly after the Civil War. Seems like an interesting time period. Or the 1960s. Or 17th century Japan. I dunno.
Congrats on having an almost potty trained little girl!

I logged onto Myspace for the first time in forever the other day.
People still blog over there. Weird.

If I could be famous, I wouldn’t…….there is so much more stuff you can do in the shadows(in my opinion).
If I could back in time……….I’d want to hang out with Annie Oakley…

I kinda agree with you on the famous question.

Congrats on you hitting your goals at work!
I remember when M was fully potty trained…I was SO excited and relieved that I didn’t have to spend money on diapers.
I would want to be famous for doing something great for humanity.

Fuck I cannot W A I T to stop buying diapers.
I like your want of being famous deal.

I very much agree with the team work an such. I am a big believer that no matter what your position in life is professionally or financially, that’s not what defines “a better person” or ” a higher up individual”,they can kick rocks. Give an get respect.
To answer your question, I don’t really know. There’s a few things I love an would like to be known for. Hmmm.

New? I have met a group of people I might actually get on with. We have intelligent interesting conversations, but damn I don’t have time. I hate school.
Also, there are old temptations coming out of the woodwork back in Alabama, finding me on facebook. Guys I would have turned hot slut for if I hadn’t been so socially inept and picked up on their cues. Which makes me glad I don’t live there because I am horny as hell and while I doubt I would make a mistake with any of them it pisses me off and makes me crazy that I can’t have sex.
Goddamn at the no having sex. I think I have dealt with this cycle more than enough. So at this moment I would probably go back in history and fuck B when he walked in my room and asked me to.
Why do I do this crap on your page? I feel like you’re the dirty confessional.
I don’t want to be famous, people know too much about you when you’re famous.

I like that you use my blog page as your dirty confessional. It makes me feel special.

You are special, and I am lucky to have friends like you that don’t make me feel like a social retard!
I bet if I lived in Seattle you’d take me out and get me drunk and be like “oh no, you’re not pulling the Vegas again. We are going out.”
By the way, I have a sister named Alecia. Your personality reminds me so much of her. like SO.

You already KNOW that is what I would do.
I need some not in passing Heather time. When is he home and when will he leave again?
March 1st, 2010 at 00:41
I don’t want to be famous either. But if I did. I’d want it to be something like I saved the world. Or cured Cancer. Something amazingly good.
If I could time travel I would go back in time and hang out with me. I’m fucking awesome.
Congrats on Charlie’s first toilet poo. Hi-five, Wonder Woman.

Interesting post. I found your site from Yahoo and I must say you have some interesting posts here. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!

We got LM to poop in the potty this week, too!!! The pee,however is rather elusive. Since we’re noticing that his bladder doesn’t hold anything for the magical “2 hours) that the experts recommend, we kinda wonder if he’s not ready…. So, I’m about to try the water-treatment. Evidently, it’s the only thing my mom remembers from my early childhood — sticking me on the potty all morning and having me sit and drink water so I actually did pee in the potty and got used to the feeling. For this kid, though…. I’ma need some duct tape and wacky glue…. or a little dvd player and some toys in the bathroom.

I don’t want to be famous. I like to think that if I did I’d be actively working toward it – and since I am not… I really just want to do a good job at what I DO do. *HA… Doodoo*
I know it’s cliche and whatever, but I would really like to have known Jesus, the person, in the flesh. And maybe a couple of the writers of the Bible. And then (because in Squishtopia you totally get three) I’d want to go shopping and have tea with Princess Diana. Just Cause.

Congrats on Charli’s success. I too have gone through PT with two kids. It ain’t no picnic for either party.
Good job mama on your monthly sales goal. In this economy it’s amazing that anyone is making ends meet. Keep up the good work!
I’d like to be famous temporarily for being a top notch mom. Not anything too fancy, but I really think that good parents, and good teachers should be acknowledged by the state. A big awards assembly, and a fatty check would be great. And then let me carry on with my own business.
A moment in history I would like to go back and see would be the Redwood Forest again before my grandmother passed away. We had such a good time, it would awesome to re-live it with her.

2. 16th century England. Henry VIII’s reign, during the King’s Great Matter to be precise.
