…I wish I had a tuner so I could re-string and start playing guitar again.
I hear that chicks still dig guys who can play the guitar…
:)
Work was so good today that I’m going back tomorrow!
“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.
Tampa’s Got a Winning Team!!!
I was a little doubtful myself, but last night the Lightning whooped Calgary and brought home the Stanley Cup – I can only imagine what the atmosphere is going to be like at work today! I don’t remember what the actual number was for the amount of people downtown, but it was certainly more than a few!
Nonetheless, the coolest thing was probably actually watching out the windows of our building throughout the day as actual lightning circled the downtown area – it was almost like they were destined to win! Very cool, indeed…
…in response…
A Long Day, Indeed…
Michael’s funeral was today, as most already know. It was nice to meet so many of the other people he called friends, both online and off, as well as refreshing to hear all of the stories that everyone had to tell. Looking back, I think I would’ve preferred coming over for the wake Thursday evening to chat with everyone, but that’s ok. I do have one final bit that I want to write up here about this whole experience, but it’s just going to have to wait until tomorrow because 2:00 AM is simply too late to crank out prose that I have no intentions of proofreading later…
On a completely different note, I’ve decided that I’m going to Disney World on Sunday…I think. We were gonna go tomorrow, but then stupid, old me got scheduled for overtime at work and ruined that little plan! It just means that I get to hold onto my $54 dollars for one more day, right?

Pet Peeve #3:
People who don’t respond to their e-mail in a timely fashion.
I know that other people have lives of their own, too, and we’re all really busy, but when I take the time out of my day to write you, for whatever reason, at least extend me the courtesy of a reply – “I’m out of the office…”, “I’m really busy right now…”, “My car just got eaten by a hippopotamus” – whatever! Just remember that your little instant messengers will show the last time you logged on, and I refuse to believe that Hotmail’s server are that horrible that only every third message that I send ever gets through…but if they are and you know it, then maybe it’s time to finally get yourself a new e-mail provider.
How important is my mail to you, anyways???
