I would rather ride the slow train than the roller coaster at this point.
Yep, I'm definitely too old for this now.

I was going to repremand you for two trips to Hawaii in a short time span, but I see the post is from a month ago. Perhaps you decided to stay and live on mangos. Either way, I hope all is well!

This weather can bite me. I use a swamp cooler in the house and another in the garage, they don't do a thing when it's this humid. I do have a little window unit in my livingroom that's working overtime though. Is the restaraunt closed now, or are you looking to line something up for when it does close? Job hunting is the worst.
Today I got to smell my favorite smell. Rain in the desert. Cloudy, cool, rainy, the smell, it was a beautiful morning.

thank you thank you. hope you are doing fabulously

hey-- my work experience is pretty similar to your lady's. i was in the classroom and taught middle school english. making the switch to the library is the best career move i've ever made. and opening new libraries is awesome-- i opened a new one two years ago. it's so fun to spend all that money!!!
The vacation I wished for is happening. June 19. Maui. Surf is motherfucking up beeyotches. It was an anniversary present from wifey. She ROCKS. Of course she gets to come too. I'm gonna mountain bike down that volcano and lay on a beach.

that should be sweet. eat shave(d) ice and buy a tiki god.
THe cops told us that they have confiscated more guns in the parking lot of my work than anywhere else in town in the last two weeks. Yikes

Everybody's got one.
And the first time I tried, it was already taken. I'm guessing he or she acted the part and got zotted. So I worked that one letter into a number and did the capslock bit.
Back in my punk scene days I never had a punk rock nickname. I was known pretty well around town (because the band I'd been in) and as such, it was never possible to get myself one.
When I moved here, I wanted to establish such a name for myself. But it not only had to be a good one. It needed to be one that if someone called me that while I was hanging out with someone from work I wouldn't have to explain the nickname. Some of the derby girls started to call me "Fez." That won't do, it's a stupid character from a TV show I don't particularly care much for.
With a name like "Asshole," if someone from the scene walks up and says "Hey, Asshole!" and a family member is visiting or I'm with someone from work I can just look surprised and say "What's that guy's problem?" Guys with names like "Mohawk Mike," "Worm," "Bane," "Jello Biafra" or even "Dirk Vermin" can't pull that off.

I seriously need a vacation. A real one with beaches and dark skinned natives and TGIfridays. OK, no TGI's.

sign me up for the beaches and dark skinned natives... ill pass on the tgi fridays tho... but how about a pina colada with a little pink umbrella?
peter_minger:
A vacation? What's one of those??? 
I went on the first formal job interview of my life last week. Weird. I probably didn't get the job but that's ok. I'm lovin the job I have.
Got my Resume together and submitted my first application this week. Work now seems a little less depressing.

Good Luck !!!

18 not including trailers and a couple wrecks I take nuts, bolts and bits from. It does include a forklift and three work trucks though. The running/not running split is probably close to even.
It does include a forklift and three work trucks though. The running/not running split is probably close to even. Took a few days off of work and the computer and feel refreshed. For a few minutes anyway.
peter_minger:
I really need to do that right now. Just the chance to do it would be fantastic.
fancyd:
it is good to take a break from the computer. I can't take finger pic, my lense is in the shop in NJ.....as soon as it comes back I'll take a pic..it's my middle finger on my right hand, the whole top front part was immersed in smoking hot oil in a saute pan....let me tell u, I felt like a real asshole when it happened 
I haven't been on a rollercoaster in a long time (well, maybe a couple emotional ones) and I'm not sure if I like them any more myself.
