I've been up since 6, here since 7:30, and now at 8 my Mexicans (or is it Mexican'ts?) just showed up. I have a funfilled day of watching them lay sod. Yeehaa!

Silly me. I just stayed up too late talking to my friend the stripper on the phone & playing Counter Strike. I just hope I get home in time to take a nap and be rested to go to dinner with her tonight.

I'm leaving in about 10 minutes to drive out to 2 customer sites. I do all kinds of computer shit for small businesses on the side of the 9-5 grind.

Wish I hadn't drank so much at the wedding last night.

There was an nra highpower match I wanted to go to this morning too. I'm starting to really hate working on saturdays.

I actually volunteered to work this weekend to get the $ to get the H&K USP off of layaway and the registration for the Tiger Valley Three Gun match. Missed the monthy SASS match at Cleburne this weekend because of it.

But got to get the hours when you can because they closed a couple of units at the hospital and there's not too many prn hours available right now until the fall flu season kicks in.

0800-1630 burning my eyeballs out monitoring CCTV. Listening to some BB King and Muddy Waters, one of the hotel engineers is teaching me to play harp, and I'm just as happy as a clam.

I'm breathing and aboveground, so life is good.

Since 10pm Friday night until 2pm this afternoon. Learning how to work my new laptop on dial up to stay of the network is all that's keeping me going. I go back for another 8 hrs on Sunday too. I hope to actually get some stuff done then.

Been here since 4:15am.Plant is going 24/7 for unknown amount
of time.We supply products to power companies to transmit and
distribute electrical & telecom. Hurricane Charlie is keeping us
way to busy.

By the way, it is my lunch break thats why I'm here

Posted: 8/21/2004 8:16:43 AM EDT

[#27]

Lunch break? I don't get one of those, officialy. But I'm stuck in this little building all shift long I can;t go anwhere or do anything. And the worst part. I could sit here for two fucking hours and the phone won't ring. But as soon as i go to the the head, ring ring ring. Never fucking fails. It;s dead around here and I can't even take a piss in peace.

Thank God for ARFCOM if it wasn't for this place I'd just sit here slowly going crazy.

I'm on tonight from 19:00- 07:00, Sunday & Monday too then off for 4 days. It's freaking pouring like hell for the past couple of hours so I don't mind. It's just the 2 hr commute into and out of work that sucks.

Posted: 8/21/2004 11:54:40 AM EDT

Im going to sell my house...

A 2 HOUR COMMUTE?! Holy Shit! BOBK48 You are a better man than me, I would probably go insane If I had to drive that far. My hats off to ya.

I'm not at my job, but I've been working in my shop all day. I just came in. I can make as much money in one day in my shop as I can in a week at my job. If the work was steady, I'd quit my day job.

Posted: 8/21/2004 12:25:28 PM EDT

[#35]

Not at work, BUT worked at home, yard work, mowing, trimming, raking, picking up tree limbs from the yard, that kind of stuff.......

Downed a few beers as well.....

Posted: 8/21/2004 12:38:51 PM EDT

[#36]

I won't be "stuck" at work until 1600. No problems with it, though. Just the nature of the job. Certainly beats the M-F 9-5 rat race.

Posted: 8/21/2004 12:42:52 PM EDT

[#37]

Yes and what a beautiful day it was.

Now, I am going to take my son out for his birthday and take the next 5 days off!

Posted: 8/21/2004 12:48:18 PM EDT

[#38]

Well, they proved to be Mecican'ts afterall. Ran out of sod around noon and ran off without telling me. The site is still maybe only 50% covered. Guess they'll be back Monday to try again.

Worked my full time job 0800-1600 and now I'm at our store in the mall from 1630-2100. I'll either go home and clean up the house after that or go to a late movie, my wife gets in from Prague tomorrow so I SHOULD pick up the house but we'll see.
