Right, so where have I been?
Slacking... lacking energy... don't remember when I last posted. Hate the holidays, both for work and family reasons(Secular Holidays are fun... religious ones, well, I differ with my family on that, so...) and working retail, even as a computer tech, not a sales person or a cashier or whatever, is pretty stressful. Mistakes get made, people get frazzled... and EVERYBODY wants their shit fixed 10 minutes ago and damn everybody else. Screw 'em all. I'll get shit done when it gets done and it'll still be 5 minutes faster than anyone else, 'cause I'm(we're I guess, my team...) that good. And I'll throw a couple of 'em out of the store for their impatience too, which is damned good stress relief.
Trying to move... got promoted twice I think since I last updated, so making more cash, paying down the plastic(Plastic isn't evil... the little hooved guy on my shoulder that tells me to buy stuff is though).
So happy new year to all... although our calendar is stupid... if you take 365, divide by 30, you get 12 30 day months... 5 extra days to spread around the year BETWEEN months as holidays... on leap years, you put the extra day in the middle of SUMMER, not February, beside the already between month day, and have a 2 day holiday then!
Existing holidays remain of course, these would be secular, not religious. Paid holidays of course.
This isn't my system, I stole it, although damned if I remember from where. Either way, it makes loads more sense.
I'm cooking dinner tomorrow night... not sure anyone is coming over, no one has plans but no one wants to even come over for free food and a few drinks. Spent 40 bucks on a chunk of beef tenderloin... possibly for nothing. Oh well. Not for nothing I suppose... I'll enjoy it. Will be marinating olives in a combination of gin and vermouth all night. And probably pass out before midnight. Then get woken up by calls from other parts of Canada when they hit midnight and friends need to share time zone differences with me. 
Last ex bought me an engraved zippo for Christmas. Didn't get her anything. We still speak, but didn't know we were on gift giving terms. Oh well. I love lighters, even since I quit smoking, and rarely light up cigars anymore.
Right, late night, rambling, work early "Don't let it get to you, I used to be a lawyer! Glad to be back America!"
