Comedy...straight comedy. That is what I call today. My boss had me call him at 4:55 this afternoon (i usually bail at 5). He says `I know I already approved your time off but is it possible to reschedule your trip this week''. I quickly informed him it was a family gathering, an annual one, and i had already gotten airline tickets and the like. Seems a couple people in my IT group resigned this week and he wanted me to spend the next 4 days cramming with the local support member from our other main office (200 more people) so I can be sure to know all his policies and procedures. Now it looks like I have 4 hours of driving tomorrow to meet with him and get everything hashed out as Wednesday is my last day before a week off. I'll put forth my best effort to leverage myself for a fat raise this month...better be in the 10-15K range or I am seriously looking elsewhere.
Life is rough when the woman you care about takes a trip the week before your trip... I get less than 24 hours from her returning before I take off... at least I have her all night tomorrow, lunchtime and the few hours before I have to leave to catch the flight (redeye from Sacramento to DC). Didn't realize how much I cared and missed her till this long break without seeing her... kinda nice really...forgot this feeling too long ago.
Rant time...as scheduled...
-- Why is it women want to try and convert me to catholicism. I had two old ladies on my porch on Saturday wanting to read to me from the bible. I informed them I was an Athiest and they wanted to let me know the moral lessons the bible held for people. I kindly told them my parents raised me in a non-religious environment (well...not forced) and taught me morals without the need to have faith in others but to be good for your own sake... then I kindly told them good day...
-- banks and car loans are like jumping through hoops while juggling bowling pins while riding a tricycle... Just a general pain in the ass....
-- dating a girl that just broke up with her fiancee and then hanging out with her ex husband makes me feel awkward... why do i travel in such a strange circle of friends...she and i will have to move to the east coast to get away from all this someday....did i just say that?!??
-- why do women fall in love so easily. I had a rather regular booty call...she knew i was with someone else at the time. Well...that someone else and i split and i havent really been calling on the booty and then i met this angel and now things get crazy. She is cold and bitter towards me...i knew she was getting feelings so I put some distance and removed the physical but still i feel her get a little weird when i see her and she doesnt talk to me much anymore.... some times friends and sex dont mix i guess....
-- sleep sucks...well...not being tired sucks...i know i wont sleep tomorrow night when Elise is over and wednesday I travel east on a red eye so that will barely be an hour or two then my nephews will keep me up and not let me nap....I just need to get another 12 hours in a day here so i can sleep during them... yea...like i would sleep...
-- solace...why is it that a drive down a tightly curved road with the stereo playing a CD way too loud and speeds that are just fast enough to let your tires sing to you as they embrace the edge of sliding out from under you puts a calm in my soul... the only way to make it better is for it to be a full moon and to turn the headlights off....i love a night drive... has to be my favorite thing to do...
well...i think i will go crawl to bed after another smoke... enjoy your nights...i'll try to get an update before or during the weekend once i see Goob and Evilflapjack this weekend... till then dont be a slave to the blue eyed devil

Why do I so easily turn women off, for no apparent reason, that's what I'd like to know. No matter how interested a woman starts out from the gates, and no matter what I do nor how I do it, everything goes down in flames shortly thereafter. In other words, I wish I had your problem.
