Endentured Servitude

For some reason work seems more like I was sold into slavery today. Everytime I think I am getting a handle on the workload for today, someone else comes out of now where and has another thing that needs to be done right away. Can you check on or fix this for me. I barely get started on one thing and someone else is over here yelling at me for something else. The only thing that I have to look for is I get a three day weekend coming up for the Fourth. I will get to take out some aggressions on some fireworks and enjoy a nice bonfire. It has kind of snuck up on me and I really have not put out any invitations. Maybe I will just keep it smaller this year cause the couple of people I have talked to about it haven't even sounded that interested. I think I should see if anyone would notice if snuck in a nap this afternoon, put the headphones on and turn towards the monitor. I am sure that someone would ruin it though with a fucking stupid question.

Supportive

I am trying to be supportive and not let my anger get the best of me. A very good friend of mine happened to run into her drunk recent ex last week at the bar. Well he was drunk and beligerant and she told him that she would take him home so he didn't get arrested. Now mind you that I told her that she should never talk to him or see him again, but sometimes women just need to learn the hard way. Well she did and he started pushing her around and she ended up getting bruised and a broken arm. Well she went to the doctor and told them the story after some coaxing, she was trying to cover for him but the ER is not stupid and they knew what happened. Well, they arrested him at the hospital, good thing for him and probably me. Well now I am trying to avoid saying I told you so, but then she tells me that another one of her friends warned her not to take him home cause he was going to beat her up. Well, we got her out of town so she won't run into him and a restraining order. She was talking about dropping the charges but I think the state will run with this due to the evidance that they have. I have told her that she would be stupid not to press her charges as well, and take him to court for the medical bills that she is going to be stuck with. She is young and stupid and thinks that she loves him, but like I learned in pyschology, the abuser is always so sorry for that and they didn't mean it and it will never happen again. I know if he ever does lay a hand on her again it will be hard for me to not put him in the hospital, one thing I cannot tolerate is guys that think they are all big and tough cause they can beat up a woman. That is complete bullshit. Well, anyway, I will try to update more this week, but the last few days have been busy with the situation.

Drunk Chicks

Tonight I am invited out for a little birthday celebration with a bunch of girls from work. They like to hang out at the place where one of them works. I went there last week and witnessed a bunch of really drunk chicks. There was water spraying, drink spilling, pants ripping, it was interesting. Then it the puking started and people trying to pass out. I am still not sure if I want to go tonight cause really drunk girls all together can be somewhat irritating. They pretty much have all asked me if I was going. I think Chris said that he was going to go out there later so at least then I will have someone to talk to.

Weird

My last post did not appear on the front page, only in the archive, not sure why blogger did that. I figured I would shoot out another post and see if this one shows up on the front page. I have never had this happen before.

Motherfucking Tuesday

The week is getting off to a mind numbingly slow start. It is only Tuesday yet it feels like it should be Friday. So far the hellish week is dragging like 70 year old tits. I had a decent weekend, put alot of miles on the Warrior and was not home much including last night so I have not had time to update the blog. I figured it had been some time so I better drop a few random thoughts down for my loyal masses. A big shout out to all three of you. I took the bike out last night and decided to stop at an airconditioned bar for a couple drinks. I left the bar at 9 and it was raining. I rode home in the rain, it was kind of nice last night cause it was still warm out. I am hoping that we do not get any rain tonight so I can wash the bike and through on some wax and polish the chrome and aluminum, or aluminium for my british readers, although I am not sure how you can just add a letter to words. Maybe I will try that for the remainder of this entry. Witih myi faviorite hioliday cioming upi, Ii aim getiting stoiked fior tihe ifourth oif Juliy biy tihe waiy, Ii wiill geit toi recreatie thei defeiat oif tihe Briitish. Then I can drop the extra I tossed into words. I talked to Mike and we are planning on starting the prep work for the annual bash. Get some trees cut and moved down to the fire pit. I will have to take more time this year for the fire cause when I didn't maintain it last year, we had a small shitty fire. I think I will get out some more invitations and see how many people we can get down to the farm. It should be great. I will also try to keep red necks from loading any shells this year as we had a bad misfire last year.

Touring

So far as plans go for the summer, they appear to be filled with taking trips on the bike. I have already put in the time off request for Sturgis in August and am now also looking at going down to Star Days in Missouri. Yamaha puts on a yearly event for it Star motorcycle owners to get together and see what Yamaha has instore for it line in the future, go on rides and hang out. Terry and Scott have decided that they was to go down and I really do too. I am not sure that I want to take vacation as it is during the middle of the week, they are going Tuesday and coming back Thursday and are going to go to work on Friday, I would not want to do that, I would have to burn 4 days and take Friday off too, who would want to come back to work after being gone to a rally for 3 days. Wow. So I am really debating on whether I want to partake in this time off or not. I have close to 100 hours of vacation right now and with the 3 days for Sturgis it would burn less then 60 hours of what I have right now. Maybe I just need to suck it up and take off, I think it will be a good time. Riding with good friends and a good long road trip to get ready for the big show in August. I probably need to make a decision pretty soon as Terry was going to call and see about hotel reservations last night. As far as Sturgis I asked a friend if she wanted to go and she is thinking about it. I am not sure that she liked the idea that we would be camping as she is pretty high maintenance, ok she is a fucking pre madonna with a little princess mixed in. We will see if she wants to go, I am sure she would have a good time, I just need to convice her.

Tuesday June 14th

I have been trying to update the blog on a daily basis, well at least the weekdays. I don't have much to say today cause nothing has really happened. I did not want to get out of bed today so the snooze was hit a few times. When I finally rolled out of bed and got in the shower I was still not very motivated to go into work. I did however make it. The time is dragging today and it seems like the day is never going to be over. I am not sure why I want the day to be over as I have not plans for tonight, nothing that is making me all giddy. I will probably just go home and do some chores. If the clouds and shit weather pass, I will probably wash the cycle tonight because I really need to get the crusty dried on bugs off the Warrior and it needs a coat of wax to make her shine even more. Last night I happened to flip past G4 Tech Tv and they had a show called Video Game Vixens on. I find it hard to believe that some nerds are so desperate that they find video game characters sexy. Sure they make games realistic nowadays but they are not real. They were having a pageant like show for the women of the games. Man, get a life. Go out and see if you can see a real woman. Oh well. I didn't watch the show so I do not know what fantasy pixels were rated as the hottest. I have found a new reality show that I actually have found interesting, it is call Beauty and the Geek. The premise it take 7 hot bitches and 7 nerds and put the together in teams to see if they can rub off on each other. The nerds teach the hotties something like cars or history and the girls teach the nerds fashion and dancing and shit. There are some serious extremes, and a few that remind me of the nerds on my floor here, we could put on a show here cause we have plenty of nerds, but we definelty don't have enough hotties, I would have to hire the talent out. It is a good humorous show on I think the WB that is light entertainment. Check it out if you have time.

Top Mack Nigga

I am very glad to hear that the TopMackNigga is concerned for my bitch pulling skills. Thank you for the comment and continue reading. If I ever decide to become a player, I will certainly check out your blog, but until till that time, I will try and stay white and continue to be a super square dude. As you so eloquently put it. Thanks Mac Daddy, go pick my fucking cotton.

Warrior Weekend

I pounded some serious pavement this weekend due to the mostly nice weather. I ended up with a slight sunburn but for the most part everything was enjoyable. We went riding on Friday because Roman was just about done with his leave and was going to be heading back to the base soon. That kid never fails to amaze me. I have know him since he was 11 or 12 and have tried to pass some type of common sense along to him over the years. I have decided that almost no matter what I try the kid is never going to be anything but stupid. He flew in to town on May 23rd and started to prove that the military was not even helping his dumb ass out. He managed to loose his cell phone, in his room, missed a family picture that his mom had arranged. He also got two overdrafts while he was here. I am not sure what he does with his money. He made the decision to ride his motorcycle out to Washington due to the fact that he has no cash and his friend Tim who was going to drive out there in his pickup and haul his bike for him. That did not happen. So he rode out about 11AM Sunday morning to make the 1800 mile trip, he needs to be back on base by Tuesday at 11:59. He should be able to make it. I got to hear about the exploits yesterday morning from Scott, his step dad. He told me how he watched the waterhead try for 45 minutes to get his 75 pound duffle bag on tot he back of his vike, and then put it on like a back pack. He said that he finially had enough and showed him how to properly secure the bag to the bike. I wish I would have been there cause that sounds like it could have been a good show. It was described to me that it looked very similiar to a monkey fucking a coconut. With all of the things that he lost during the trip here, he did however manage to keep his Batman mask handy. He was riding around town with that thing strapped to his face. I would not let him ride with us if he had that on. I have not talked to Scott to see how the trip is going, although he has to be in at least Idaho, if he managed to get out of bed this morning and resume the ride. Hopefully he was travelling west and does not end up in Washington D.C.

Out on the Town

I think I might have to go out on the town for a couple tonight. I really haven't done much lately but it is payday today so I might sacrifice and hit the town. I could use a nice relaxing night out. Not sure where I want to go or who I might see if they want to go? Maybe I will jsut go by myself. Sometimes drinking alone is not that bad. You get time to reflect on things and you don't have to worry about entertaining whomever you are out with.

Nothing Exciting

There really isn't anything exciting going on right now, nothing that is really firing me up today. I think it is the first time in a long time that no one has tried to piss me off. The day has been going pretty smoothly so it is bound to be a bad night. Something has to go wrong before the day is over. Hopefully not, we will have to see how it goes.

Shopping for cold air

Well, over lunch I figured I would do some omre shopping for cold air. So far Menard's has had the cheapest unit for $75, that comes in around 5000 BTU of cold air power. I stopped at Best Buy and Sam's club over lunch today. Sam's has one that is $207 with 8000 BTU, and a remote control. I am not sure that I need the remote, but whynot, just add it to my remote collection in the living room, Another thing that I thought about was to get two of the $75 units and replace the one in the living room and add one in the bedroom. With this setup. I could run the one in the bedroom at night and the other on low during the day. I think I like this setup because I am not sure that the single unit can cool the whole house, well, maybe an 8 or 12 thousand BTU one might but who knows. I miss the central air at the old house.

Airconditioning

I went home last night to a sweltering house. I decided to fire up the AC for the first time this year. I started by opening the windows to try and clear out the heat, it started to cool down. I started to prep the A/C unit to fire up. I had insulated it for winter. After a few minutes the house was cooler and I had the unit ready to start. I closed the windows and fired it up. I sat down on the couch and waiting to be chilled. I fired up the XBox to play some NFSU2 and after about 10 minutes, I noticed that I was sweating. It was getting hotter in the living room. I went over to check the machine out, all the settings were right. I held my hand over the front and the air just felt like a fan blowing, Fuck! I turned it to fan and there was no change in the air temperature. I happened to be at Menard's yesterday and they have an AC unit for $75 so I might have to buy that, or I might upgrade to a model that puts out some more cooling power. I was pissed off that this was another thing in my house that wasn't working so I decided to take the bike out. It was a beautiful night for riding so I was almost glad the house was not cool. I am not glad about having to replace the POS but oh well, life gives you lemons, go find a bar to sell them too.

Agitated

It is not even 10AM yet and I am already highly agitated. I needed to contact a vendor to check on a trouble ticket. I clicked on the IM link so I did not have to wait on the phone. The applet started and it told me that I was behind 2 other users. OK, I would prefer to look at the screen and listen to my headphones while I wait the listen to their hold message. I sat and wathced the screen and after a few minutes it told me that I was next in line. I was patiently waiting my turn when the window started to change, I thought great here we go. I was wrong, the message went from you are next in line, to there are no available agents, please try again later. Um, I had just waited 45 minutes to have the window close on me. I hit the button again and was told that I was fourth in the queue. Bullshit! I picked up the phone and called the vendor. I waited about 15 minutes there but did talk to someone. About 15 seconds after I hung up the phone, one of the shit heels up here started in on a tirade about business cards. He had been waiting for them for two months and somebody needed to get him his cards. Well the annoying admin pulled out one of his cards from her desk. She didn't have the box, well it turns out that he did, at his desk, what a dipshit. He already pissed me off by getting on my case about my order for him. It has only been a week and it usually takes at least 30 days. The morning is not going very well yet. Hopefully things will change later in the day.

The Mall

For the most part, I despise the mall. We went there for lunch today however. It is a warm day and it brought out the best in apparel for the girlies that were there today. The mall was borderline acceptable today because of all of the hotties walking around in short and skirts. Wow!

Knowing is half the battle

Chris and I went out on Saturday to have a couple of drinks to celebrate his birthday. We had an all in all good time at Billy Frogs. There were two girls sitting by themselves. I watched them for awhile, one was fairly attractive, the other was very plain, no makeup and the sort. I told Chris after some time that I thought they were lesbians. He decided to send the one a drink. The waitress told him not to bother that they were lesbians. Man I laughed. I knew cause they did not interact with the couple of guys that went over and talked to them. They were distracted and looked bored. Our waitress was hot as hell though and I think Chris got at least one or two pictures of her. I really enjoy that place, I don't think I have ever had a bad time there. They need a dartboard though. I will have to check into it. That would be a good bar to shoot out of.

Quite a decent tool

I created a Flickr account and have now started to post photos. I did however find that I had a shadow blog where the pics from Hello went. I am not sure why that happened. I would like to use that service as well as I can only upload 20 MB a month on Flickr. We will see if I can get it to work. Hopefully tech support can help me out on that too.

Yes, I am going to add pictures

The idea to add pictures to my blog has infested my mind. I started the process but ran into difficulties. I already have Picasa 2 for photo managment so I downloaded and installed Hello to send photos to the blog. Well the setup was not clear on one of the steps and I did not get my blog URL entered correctly. I spent some time looking for the way to change it but was unsuccesful. If anyone has any knowlege of this software and happens to read this blog, drop me a note if you know how to correct this error. I went through both Picasa and Hello help sections and could not find the answer I needed. I have submitted a ticket to them and hopefully they will answer.

J - A letter not used to start a blog entry yet

I happened to notice that there are many letters that have been used to start my blog entries, the letter C appears to be the most widely used. I feel bad for the neglicted letters and think I need to find at least one entry for the poor left our letters, to make them feel like they are not the red headed step children in my vocabulary. I figured that I would start this charity posting with the letter J. Actually I am suprised that this letter has not been used as I figured in all this time I would have started an entry with jackoff, jerk or jizzlobber. Weird, I know this doesn't start with J. Today we had our company meeting type thing where the president of our company talks to whomever wants to sit and listen for a half hour. We decided to go, it was good because they happened to have free cookies. It was the normal pap, they are really pushing the customer service angle lately. Well the cookies were endoctrinated with their slogan of the month WOW! One of the guys asked in jest why all of the cookies said MOM. Well being we work with a bunch of slow witted morons lacking any knowledge of subtle humor, the manager standing guard of the cookies said, as straight and serious of a response that you could have, " You are reading it upside down!" Wow, I about pissed myself at how stupid that response was. I find it hard to think that our company can have so many dull people, I also realized how many mouth breathers that we have working here too. I feel a little more stupid for being in that meeting.

Happy Thursday!

When we were out after Star Wars a couple of weeks ago, there was a table of girls that kept yelling happy birthday to their friend, well someone in our group couldn't figure out why these girls kept yelling happy Thursday. He started to shout happy Thusday until we told him that they were saying birthday, not Thursday. After that though, it kind of went around the rest of the night. I think when I see him today, I will have to yell happy Thursday to him today. Well anyway, it is Thursday and the week is rapidly coming to a close. I was responsible and did not get my margarita mix and tequila, I did however get the lawn mowed and the litter box changed and some other assorted things around the house. I decided I had done enough domesticated stuff for the night so I fired up NFSU2 and finished the 4th stage and got another car unlocked. I am hoping it is nice enough out tonight to take the Warrior out for a ride but if not, I do have some more housework to take care of like a couple more loads of laundry and I can empty all of the trash cans for pickup tomorrow. Wow that sounds like a fun and exciting night for me. Man I hope is is nice out tonight.

End of the Work Day

As it is almost the end of my day at work, I now need to decide what I am going to do tonight. The options are limited as the cash flow is low right now. Damn unexpected bills. I would like to go out and enjoy a few coldies tonight but alas, I think I will not be able to. I also would like to get some groceries, I have been out of milk and Coke for a few days. I think I will have to find some cash to get the necessities. Maybe I will get some tequila and margarita mix and sit at home and play some need for speed. Drunk driving is not quite the same when you are sitting infront of the 47IN TV. More then likely impossible to get a DUI, although if it is possible, I am sure that I could do it. As the day has proceded I have grown ever so more aggitated with the shit stains that sit within 30 feet of me. "what is with the donuts?" was the scratching your fingers along a chalkboard voiced question that came from the admin in the department that I am on loan to. ( The queasy realization that loan is on it's way to permanent ) The donut thing is all about the fuck tards having a list that one of them is going to bring them all lard encrusted pieces of dough. Well king dickwad was off last Friday and his name was on the list, it is Wednesday and they are still barking about how good it would be to have a doughnut, God damn shut the fuck up about it. I am about to go get some prozac fritters to bring in and you can all eat them till you fall into a Terri Schiavo like coma and never open your mouths again except to get a feeding tube inserted, or hopefully removed. Wow, I think I need to end this rant before I decide to test how far I can get a mechanical pencil into a skull.

Evil Thoughts

Some days I think I missed my calling. I was talking to Kristen today and she said something about feeling nauseous, of course the first words out of my mouth were "Are you pregnant?" You never realize what kind of a reaction you can get out of people with a question like that. Of course she was telling me atht she can't be so that fueled me into throwing that back into the rest of the conversation, as much as possible. I will have to remember to ask her how the bun is doing the next time I talk to her. I can be so evil.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road

To the land of jack skulls. Seriously, I am truly blessed. There must be at least 10 short buses that stop to deliver the waterheads that work in my wing. I walked up the stairs already agitated because I was behind one of the biggest goat poking retards that work by me. Of course I had to hear the "How's it goin'?" eminate from his fucking pathetic maw. As we hit the door to the wing I knew something was amiss. The tard started to get really excited and giggle, it always reminds me of a puppy getting really excited just before pissing on themselves. I walked through the door and I saw it. Wizard of Oz pictures hanging on the doors plus the slapjacks had wasted about 3000 post it notes in their attempt to make a yellow brick road. Why do I have to work with Corky and all of the special people? What did I do in life to deserve such punishment? I must have pissed off some higher powers and they are seeing how long it takes before I snap and start going on a gene pool cleansing. Maybe there is some master plan to eliminate some losers from the company. If I ever come into work and find a conviently placed bat or club near my cube, I will know that there is a conspiracy afoot. For now, I will just put on the headphones and stay close to my cube, away from the morons.
