“What else can you think but you’ve won the lobster sweepstakes?!”

Wow, what a busy day / week / weekend…

• Worked something like 66 hours and realized that I spent more time downtown than I did at home last week! Sure, the check will be nice, but damn…
• To make up for all of the time at work, I pretty much slept all of Sunday away, which I don’t feel the least bit guilty about at all. Then I went out and bought the last half of the Family Guyseries on DVD, and there was much rejoicing.
• Microsoft Money died on me last weekend, so I got to spend a good portion of one evening rebuilding all of my financial records. I figure I lost about five years worth of data, which isn’t all that bad because I was in debt most of the time and at least the details of it are finally gone!
• I started working on the formatting for my book again – I have about 2/3rds of the first quarter printed out and ready to ship up to Lori so that she can add her artistic touch. I still don’t know what I want to do for the cover, but maybe that would be easier if I could settle on a title…
• Things are up and down, as usual, at work, but for the most part I feel like I made a difference last week. I like the fact that I’m at a point in my life where I can enjoy going to work and what I do for a living…and not just because I have an attractive, new co-worker who needs a lot of “training!” 😉
• I realized today that it rains a lothere in Florida…so much that Wal-Mart hands out “umbrella bags” at the door so you don’t get their floors and all of the merchandise soaking wet.
• On top of all that, the power went out for a while when I was shopping there earlier today. The lights randomly came on and off for a while, yet the registers themselves remained fully operational the entire time – go figure!
• As soon as I get paid next week, I’ll be writing a pay-off check for one of my four remaining debts…and if the OT keeps up at work, another twoby the end of the summer!
• I’m to the point in Vice City that I don’t really care about the missions – I just enjoy driving around and hitting things. I’m still confused as to why the cops get mad when I beat up hookers or mow down gangs by the dozen, but then again, I suppose prostitutes and thugs are technically people too.
• I ran Ad Aware tonight and came up with 29 new registry keys that shouldn’t have been in this thing…and yet my browser is still driving funny. I have a pop-up that still keeps, well, popping-up – I may end up having to run a virus check, but I just don’t have time to do it right now.
• I cleaned up my office at home while I was burning CDs for people earlier tonight and now it’s the cleanest it’s been since Christmas. I reallyneed to buy a vacuum…
• Time for bed.
