Sabine wanting a breakfast taquito. That�s it � not too hard, right? Wrong.

Sabine went to whataburger this morning and as she pulled into the drive thru there were 4 cars. Car #1 had just placed his order and was pulling around to the side of the building. As Car #2 was placing her order � the guy in Car #3 starts yelling at her and finally gets so pissed that he gets out of his truck and starts banging on car #1 wanting her to roll down her window. But since this is not a B rated horror movie where the girl always does the WRONG thing � she rolls over his foot and pulls forward. So guy in Car #3 gets back in his truck� pulls forward � places HIS ORDER� then pulls to the other side of the building, and continues his berating of the car in front of him. Car #4 pulls forward to place his order. Meanwhile the guy in Car #3 has once again gotten out of his car to yell and bang on the windows of Car #2. The chick in Car #2 gets fed up finally and calls 911 on her cell. The Car #3 guy panics and runs back to his truck throws it in reverse and tries to back out, but really only succeeds in ramming the car behind him (Car #4). Which he then panics more and gets back out of the truck (that’s now smashed to bits) and runs away. Needless to say, Car #5 (Sabine) never got to order so Sabine never got her breakfast taquito.

Suck to be me�.

Currently my company�s accounting department is really cracking down on our expense reports. They want to know every little detail of our trip so they can judge if I deserve what I reported on my report (despite the fact that my CEO signs all my reports � so yes some little $10.00 an hour pay clerk thinks she can overrule our CEO). So the story of the morning�.

Beth and I our sitting in our office the phone rings, and its AP for Beth. They are questioning her expense report for a recent Vegas trip. Now on this trip Beth did not have hotel expense because she had bought a home there and hence she stayed in her home instead of the hotel. She did have her car rental expense (which was a direct bill so she needed no reimbursement) and her meals expense for 3 days ($108). The call came from AP because before they could cut her a check for $108 they needed to know where she slept. Beth gets pissed because she thinks that under no circumstances should these people need to know anything about her personal life when it is not costing the company anything. So her answer was �I slept in my car.� She further explained that when things get busy in an area and she goes to help out she finds it easier to work as late as possible and then just catch a few hours of sleep in her car. She also explained that normally most of our branch offices had shower facilities somewhere in the building so its normally not a problem, but while the Las Vegas office lacks washing facilities she was able �to work something out�. The AP lady was like ok then I will put in the system that you slept in your car. Beth is like �Ok � Thanks!� She hangs up and we both just lose it. We are laughing so hard that tears are streaming down our face and the receptionist comes back from out front to make sure we our okay.

THEN not more than 15 minutes later the SAME AP chick calls asking for me! She goes into the same spiel about my Florida trip where I stayed in Florida for 13 days but I only have hotel costs for 10. �Where did you sleep the other 3 days?�, she asks. I informed her that those 3 days I was just so enthralled with the ocean that I pitched a tent on the beach. I then explained the first night I camped to close to the water and got really wet when the tide came in, but after that everything was beautiful. I ended with telling her that she should really try it sometime because you really can�t understand the magnificence of the Earth until you can wake up and see the sun rising over billions of gallons of water that we have been polluting for generations. I then got a �Ok � thanks.� and was quickly hung up on. Did I say something wrong?

Beth thinks she has trained me well. She is so proud.

Just thought I’d try out this cool feature that I have - the ability to post on Sabine’s blog…..

Too much fun, must misuse this capability more often!

Rixende - Boss of All Evil Things

Yes but remember I am always watching and I have the ultimate power of �delete�.

If you abuse you powers they can go away�- Sabine

After a long long week I am coming home today. Leaving SA shortly to drive back home. Although I have a feeling that I won’t be able to do the drive in 3 hours 15 minutes like I did coming down here. That was a personal best, and I doubt I will ever be lucky enought to do it again. I just hope I don’t hit any construction traffic.

Tomorrow is the Newcomer’s Workshop. I am really looking forward to it, and I think I am going to have more newcomers than I ever hoped for which will be fun. Hopefully I have all sorts of old timers to help me out.

we’ll see…

Hello everyone! I understand you miss me!

I am back at Corporate, and I know that everyone is feeling sorry for me, and I thought I would help you out.
So without further ado a blog entry of photos.

so when your computer tells you

strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility

is that bad?
more importantly is it as bad as what my tech is trying to make it out to be?
is all my shit gone? surely not, right?
the tech wasn’t even willing to try….

Oh and the Swooning Gallery is back up as well, ladies (and Philip). Email me for your password.

just a word of warning -

if you absolutely insist that Sabine makes a food decision - the answer will always be … sushi. always. cause i can eat sushi - every day - twice a day, can you?

so either i will be eating a whole lot of it, or you will learn the lesson. Sabine hates making food decisions!!!!

but meanwhile tonight’s meal is courtesy of Piranha. yum.

File upload in progress!This page will go away automatically when the upload is complete. Please be patient!

My computer is really good at telling me to be patient… fails miserably in telling me how to be patient…

and the little running arrows don’t help either…

today i broke down and downloaded mozilla - what is this world coming to when we can’t live dependent on Microsoft?

Oh and Melissa got Gallery up and running so by tomorrow I should have all my photos back on line.

Hey look more Bullets!

Sabine:
o sits on her ass and researches the internet.
o thinks dirty thoughts about co-workers.
o laughs at random things.
o builds things using a complex computer program.
o leaves early or (even better) doesn’t come in at all.
o is the boss’s favorite…especially when she fires someone for him.
o is creatively bored.
o occasionally will answer the phone using her phone sex operator voice.
o provides the evening amusements at training seminars.
o provides a reason to bitch during the training seminars.
o goofs off, but manages to look busy so that her boss is still convinced that she is invaluable.
o goes around the corner to starbucks at a minimum, 2 times a day.
o is the token bitch.
o strides back and forth from front door to her office (the corner one) looking important.
o makes snarky remarks about her co-workers.
o constantly working to blow the budget given to her.

ps - this talking about myself in the third person is really quite exhilarating…

I am trying to break my blow pop habit. I am trying to replace it with gum. I am trying unsuccessfully (as of 2:00 PM - 5 blow pops)

Apparently today was “Bring Your Kid to Work” Day. I wish someone would have told me, I would have rented one for the day. Or better yet, I could have dressed Him up in footie PJs and brought him. (good image, huh?)

So I keep trying to come up with new ideas for the Scroll.

Philip wants to do a medieval �hello kitty� cartoon and give tips on how to make and keep friends. This scares me.

I found a font and art collection I want to buy for the Barony.

I know the Scroll is better than it has been in a long time, but it is not the best. That is what I want though, but it is going to take others taking an interest in the content.

Now I am off to coerce Laurels into publishing articles in the Scroll. I am hoping the cookie bribe works.

Last night I get a call from Philip, who wants to know if I have plans for the evening. Well I kinda did, but I was looking for an excuse to get out of them. So I said no, and he said good cause he had an extra ticket to “Little Shop of Horrors”. So I go to meet him and his sister and his friend Win. And what an interesting group we made. Philip’s little sister was really nice, but extremely quiet. The Philip and Win show however was probably better than the actual show. I’ve never seen 2 men be so catty. It was a learning experience.

Now it’s midnight and I can’t sleep. That. Sucks. Apparently 2 java chip frappuccinos in 4 hours provides Sabine enough energy to maintain through the night.

The original Matchbox 20 CD isn’t as good as I remember it. Very disappointing.

Well - Rix and I found the CD Warehouse (in Hurst not Bedford). It was Heaven.

And one of us has a new sex CD.

- Sabine

Last night I learned that Philip shares my dirty mind.

Our Conversation:
Sabine: Do you ever listen to the Edge?
Philip: Yeah.
Sabine: Ok there this song they have been playing, and I can’t figure out who is singing it. It’s really kinky.
Philip: Oh that’s the new Nickelback song.
Sabine: Really?
Philip: Dirt on your knees, I like the way you still say please?

Enter our waitress coming to take our drink order. She almost went running for the hills, but after explaining she also knew what song we were talking about. We then did not seem to be the freaks that people with kids couldn’t sit next to. though they moved anyway … I maintain it was all Philip’s fault. He scared them away. All. His. Fault.

Now today I have a new CD to go buy. I wonder if Bedford has a CD Warehouse?

I’m back!!! Well mostly back the Gallery is still down (which I understand is what most people come here looking for)

As you can see we have some new software. I may or maynot like this. I am still exploring my options.

In Sabine news:

I went to Florida … for a long time. It was hard.
I did another Scroll … it looked better than the first.
I fell in love (again) with matchbox 20.
I met a man spent 2 weeks with him and then sent him back home to Denver.
AAA was hot - I threw a party (and may possibly be still hung over)
Lugnuts was a big nonevent for me. I sat in a chair (yeah that was the highlight)
Gothic is right around the corner, and I am greatly looking forward to it greatly.
Sabine has decided that her life needs more out of kingdom events with more out of kingdom men.

Oh and then this morning I had this message waiting for me on the cell. (did I mention this was at 2:49 a.m.?)

“well - like what the fuck’s going on?”

Like, sleep is going on. Sleep! Novel concept, for you?

One addition we need to make to the site is a place where I can upload all the random voicemails I get from all the random people in this world.

Because I also got the message at 4:50 am this morning from a friend wanting to know if I wanted to do breakfast at 7:30 am before work. The only problem is that he was in Florida, and I was at home. Apparently I am not the only one who can’t keep track of my travel schedule.

Ok I gave in …

1. I’ve been at this too long if I feel the need to update this.
2. My friends call me “Sabine” and sometimes “Sabby”
3. No one really calls me by my real name. I’m not even entirely certain people remember what my real name is except my parents… and then only sometimes.
4. I was born on October 22 of a yet indeterminate year.
5. This makes me a Libra.
6. No matter where you search … whatever Libra profile you find? It will fit me to a T.
7. And that also makes me 20… something.
8. I am single… happily so.
9. I was born weighing less than 3 pounds.
10. Despite being almost a full month late.
11. I now weigh considerably more than that.
12. But not as much as I weighed 18 months ago.
13. But I can still eat an entire 12 oz. pan of tiramisu in one sitting.
14. I just don’t really have the desire to anymore.
15. I can’t stick to a diet.
16. When I am intoxicated, I laugh too loud.
17. My mother is French Catholic and my Father is an Irish Jew.
18. This perplexes many people.
19. They also met at Woodstock.
20. That makes me a hippie child.
21. This normally explains all the weird things that happened in my childhood.
22. According to Kiersey, I am an ISFJ.
23. Which again, fits me to a T so much that I feel sometimes I’m Truman and this is one big life experiment.
24. When I laugh, I cry.
25. When I cry, I hide in the bathroom, just like a man.
26. Unless I am at the movies… then crying is okay.
27. On the rare occasion when I have sex, my neighbors turn their stereos up.
28. I bought my first pair of jeans on the day after Christmas 2005.
29. I spoil my feet.
30. I have had the following things thrown into my cleavage: bottle caps, spare change, twigs, and peanuts.
31. I live in a city where I count the days till I can leave.
32. I feel as if I am putting my life on hold because I don’t want to start something here that may try and keep me here.
33. It’s not the happiest way to live your life.
34. When I moved here I sold off all my furniture except for my bed and dresser.
35. I still haven’t replaced it all.
36. man + facial hair = rowr
37. I refuse to sing karaoke.
38. I can dance the “Macarena”, but you don’t have enough money to make me.
39. I cannot dance the “running man”, and you don’t have enough money to cover the hospital bills if I were to try.
40. I am 9 hours short of a college degree.
41. and have been for the past 6 years.
42. If I won the lottery, I would travel the world in search of foreign men w/ facial hair.
43. I also enjoy domestic men w/ facial hair.
44. I can swear in Vietnamese and Korean.
45. I swear (in English) a great deal.
46. I have taught young children to swear.
47. Hence children have now learned to recite “Sabine is not a role model. Sabine is not a role model.”
48. If I ever marry, I will do it the right way… with all my friends surrounding me and my family finding out 2 weeks after the honeymoon.
49. I have every intention of making Sarah’s life a nightmare with the planning of said wedding.
50. Except at the last minute I will probably end up eloping because of the stress.
51. I am an only child.
52. Except I now have stepbrothers.
53. If I passed my youngest stepbrother on the street I wouldn’t recognize him.
54. Men that are overly familiar with me without my permission or at least my acknowledgement scare me.
55. I own garb that renders men helpless against the urge to stare at my cleavage.
56. I am scared of these men as well… sometimes.
57. I am slowly learning to cook foods that don’t require a dinner party of over 20 to consume.
58. I still can’t grasp the concept of meals that are ready in under 30 minutes.
59. or 2 hours for that matter.
60. If I were a man for a day, I’d jump up and down naked to see if it felt just as funny as it looks.
61. I don’t have a job; I have a career… whoop-dee-fucking-do.
62. Celebrities I have worked with: Rob Thomas, Rob Reiner, Edward Zwick, and Kelly Clarkson
63. Currently, my refrigerator is in desperate need of someone to come by and clean it out…
64. I think it would safe to say that everything in it except for the soy sauce could go.
65. In the 80’s - I did not have 80s hair,
66. but I had a pair of parachute pants,
67. and a member’s only jacket.
68. I am deeply saddened and embarrassed by those facts.
69. I worry that certain projects in the works for next years Gulf Wars may ruin my sterling good girl reputation forever.
70. but if Sarah and I get our way then it’s probably worth it.
71. In the past year, I have become addicted to TV.
72. I hope that changes soon, I have better things to do with my life.

83. I am most commonly attracted to men who are assertive to the point of being called a Cocky Arrogant Bastard.

93. but none of my friends have noticed.
94. Lesson learned: being the boss of everything? Not as fun as it looks.
95. I don’t respect most of my employees.
96. I have a feeling that is a sentiment shared by a lot of managers.
97. I check my email almost to the point of obsessive.
98. But I suck at returning emails.
99. and phone calls.
100. It’s not you, it’s me… and it’s part of my charm.

Well the website has been moved. I am using new software! Still testing gthings out. We will see what happens
