Survivor

Yay for the Faves! That was a very exciting reward challenge, and they barely won. As a reward, they were able to pick 3 items from a catalog; they chose tarps, lighting and "survival gear". Kathy was sent back to Exile Island, and Amy went with her. Amy wanted to follow the clues to the hidden idol; Kathy didn't want to tell her that she and Cirie had already found the four clues last time. The night was extremely stormy and the Fans were miserable. However, they were able to beat the Faves at the Immunity Challenge (boo hiss!) and don't go to Tribal Council.

Most of the Faves have split into two alliances, and all of them are working at getting Cirie to join in. She's getting ticked off at Jonathan and he may be ruining the chances of getting her to side with his group.

I'm sad! They just voted off Yau-Man!

The score is now S = $1.00 and Me = $1.00

So, this morning I was working on the project for K and E at work. The boss came in and asked me how much experience I've had with collections. I told her, and she said that E hadn't come in or called for the second day in a row (he left at lunch Monday and nobody has heard from him since). She came back a little later and took me to be trained to do collections :-) for Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

Well, the lady in charge of BC/BS helped me re-organize the desk (she didn't like how E had it set up and wanted it all nice for me) and was just having me log in to the BC/BS websites when the boss came back in and said that things had changed, she was going to have L do it instead :-( because she has medical collections experience. So, she gets my nicely set up desk. I went back to the project for K and E (which I finished this afternoon) and tomorrow I'm back at the desk where I started originally. At least I'll have a "set" place for a while. And I will probably be helping L do some collections calls (which I really don't want to do, because I don't really care for her for some reason). Anyway, it was disappointing, to say the least, to have a "promotion" and then an immediate "demotion".

Sitting and watching American Idol -- this is going to be a tough season. Only about half of the top 12 guys have had a chance to sing so far, and I don't have any idea who I'd vote for. They are all very good. Even Simon has been giving out compliments ... Ryan is embarrassing a 17 year old contestant right now.

Still enjoying my temp job. I have to keep reminding myself that it is a "limited time" position so I don't get too comfortable there, but I do wish it would become permanent. Well, I'll just stay as long as they allow me to and then hope I find something I like as well somewhere else!

Got an email from ES; she has sent me something that she made for me. Unfortunately, it looks like it has been returned to her because she didn't have the apartment number on it, so I'll have to wait a little longer for it. Gives me something to look forward to! I love getting presents; especially when it is a non-occasion present. Wonder what it can be.... and last Friday, I received a package from BM -- she sent me a DVD of the 5th Harry Potter movie as a house-warming gift! I was going to watch a mini-marathon over the weekend, but never got around to it. Maybe I'll save it for a rainy weekend.

Well, I survived the day. A small group of people at work have a potluck on Thursdays, and invited me to join them. We had hamburgers, chips, and fruit and it was very good. It was also nice to be included in the group. Then, at afternoon break, the company supplied ice cream and toppings for a little Valentine's Day so-called iced cream social. And then, of course ... it was Survivor night!

There was only one challenge again tonight; a combination reward (fishing gear and a boat) and immunity challenge. The winning team (Yay Favorites!!) got to send someone from the losing team to Exile (they chose Kathy) and then had to choose one of their own members to go, too! Cirie volunteered to go. They received a clue for the hidden immunity idol, which led to another clue, which led to another, and then to another ... it was a big wild-goose chase from Island to Island. Don't know if either of them found it.

And get that Amanda off my Ozzy! (Waaaay too much kissy-kissy going on)

Since the fans lost the challenge this week, the score is now: S = $.50 and Me = $.50
P is hoping that Cirie wins - but we haven't gotten her to join in the betting yet.
