Everytime it rains, it reminds me how poorly things are built around here. Pot holes open up, roofs leak, drains back up and streets flood. Just because hardly rains here doesn't mean that it doesn't ever rain here.

But add a small earthquake into the mix and then you really get problems. This morning a large chunk of phone service was knocked out (including 911)....

No such luck here, damn government and their redundant systems... even if the power goes out they have two generators just in case one takes a crap eeek The best part about this week is that I don't have to stand the "flood watch" since I'm not there. I guess the flooding isn't like flooding from the ground up its because the roof has been leaking and its leaking into where our mainframe is blackeyed

ARRR!!! Arrrr....
basil123:
well at least you didn't have to do any work today wink

Normally it's fairly sunny here... even in the winter. But we had some great thunder and lightning storms last night. The kind that rumbled directly overhead so loud it sounded like the end of the world.

It was hard to sleep... not because it was loud, but because I just wanted to lie there and listen to it.

The funny thing was waking up this...

I tried that out last night and found out that I move around alot when I'm sleeping. I woke up on my side wondering what teh hell the lump was tangled in my legs.. blush I think it might help though! The funny thing is, is that the width of my pillow is about the same length of the part my legs right below my knees to my feet.. biggrin

Been a nice, much needed lazy weekend. smile

Did some reading, watched some tv and some DVD's, played a few video games... and of course slept a lot. That was what I really needed. Towards the end of the week I started to get that "I'm getting sick" feeling... probably due to running around with all the stuff I've been doing. Just laying around and doing...

What a night... whatever The team got their asses handed to them... too many bad plays, terrible passes, and some shaky goal tending make for bad results. I guess their luck couldn't last forever. frown

I'm glad the weekend is just about here... going out on Friday, but as for the rest of the weekend the original plan was to rest. But I think something might be...

It was just one of those days where nothing could get me in a bad mood. I was actually looking forward to getting into an argument with someone, because in this kind of mood I'd just manage to piss them off more and get a huge laugh out of it. biggrin

Had a few quiet moments today where I was able to get some much needed...

Thats right, I'm on a highway to hell!

Well after checkng around a little bit on prices and resale values for bikes I have decided to go for it. I know its totaly un mod but I'm more of a punk so I guess it fits. It will soon be my first Harley..... I feel like such a tool for buying something newer but what the hell.

The team won again. smile That's 3 home games in a row... plus beating the only undefeated team this season so far totally rocks. biggrin Sure there have been only 4 games so far, but I'll take any form of amusement I can. wink

The boss pretty much left me alone at the regular job. I like days like this... mainly because I can get things done that...

Workwas hard to deal with today... still a little tired from the weekend... and actually a little sore. I don't get it... I don't feel sore the next day from my workouts, how is this any different?

Either way, I'm kinda glad most of our clients had the day off. If it was business as usual today, I think I would have died and we...

of course we love reading about your life -well i do anyway!!! wink

britain should have one of those speed measuring things, but i doubt anyone would really care. the worst type of getting caught speeding is when they get policemen to hide behind bushes with their speed guns. the assholes, should be out catching real ciminals!!

what's that film your making about?

i know you've got a few billion stashed under your mattress wink

moya:
Well duh we like reading about your life. Even more, we like making fun of your boss. smile

I appreciate it when people clean when I visit or something, but if it's overdone, I become uncomfortable and a bit wierded out.. blush I think it's just because I know that the cleanliness is not their 'natural' environment, and they're changing it just for me. I feel bad. Plus, I just kick stuff out of the way when people see me.. biggrin

So tired... it was a long weekend of shooting, but we managed to get it all done.

I got a little sunburned from sitting on a roof most of the time (the whole film takes place on the roof of a house). Instead of just being a production assistant like the last one, I did mostly grip work this time... that's like 3x in pay......

I vote on Mexican food, its what I had, but then again I am partial to Mexican food. I think it's all those years working in the vineyards and heating burritos wrapped in foil that were warmed on the exhaust manifold. biggrin Thats true field worker food, that and lots of beer after work (mostly Budwieser puke ). Hope things continue to work out with the film, if it goes big time that may be a chance to step into the industry a little more. Indi films are pretty popular. biggrin Take it easy and use this week back at work to get some rest.

Why indi films what happened to pirate films!

Well... obviously since I'm updating tonight, I didn't go out. I got a call saying that I'm going to be needed on set at 6:45am. This means that I have to get up before the butt-crack of dawn to get there on time.

Now I normally don't need much sleep to function, but if I went out, I'd probably only get 1.5 hours which is...

Woo Hoo! The boys won tonight! TAKE THAT WAYNE GRETZKY! biggrin

The boss got on my nerves again today... yah yah... what else is new? But this time made no sense. So she calls me over to her office because she discovered something on some statement she wanted to show me... nothing really big or all that important... just interesting. But as I headed over there,...

Ugh.. I hope I never turn into your boss. I think I have that bitter and single part down pretty good already, though.. blackeyed blush

I used to want to move into my own place by myself, near campus, before I decided on the dorms (for which I signed up for a single room!). Maybe a small one room apartment or something. Over these past few weeks, I've come to realize how much I'd suffer for living alone. Isolation is not a happy thing, and it's terribly difficult to deal with. My roommate is gone for a weekend and I can barely deal with it.. whatever

I am feeling far better about the funeral - I think it just needed to get out of the way and stop being a stressor. I'm doing much better about it.

Thank you for the offer and support. smile The good thing about the internet is that you aren't ever truly alone on it.. Someone else is always there.
panthro:
dude you got cock blocked by your boss! now that is foul!

i saw you guys won today in the paper. good for you. right now i'm watchin the devils beat on the flyers!

have fun this weekend.

Ok... just a quick update 'cause I need sleep.

The team lost tonight. frown How do you blow a 4-0 lead?

Gotta work the game tomorrow night... let's hope they do better for the home crowd. wink

Regular job sucked (as usual). I'm totally burried in work that is not mine.

Can the weekend get here any sooner?

Seems like everyone has been having a tough week, if I would have had to work Friday I would have been looking for a clock tower and a high powered rifle before the end of the day today.
