I am trying to figure out if I was contrary to what I was supposed to be leaning today.
You see a HR lady came to town to go over the harrassment training for BNSF, not that there was anything specific as far as a incident or what-have-you to bring her here, just something that has to be done.
What was my contrariness you ask?...

Been having a pretty good week, that's what's been going on over here.
Tuesday is really the day that brought it all together. First my thesis chair sent me an email that he had finally gotten around to reading the chapters I sent him a while back and that he was sending those my direction and that things looked good and to keep going. It...

Aww thank you. No one deserves to be treated like shit and if I know it's going on, I am obligated to do what I can to stop it. I feel bad for people who live such negative lives that they have to take it out on others, but even worse for those who they take it out on.
Sounds like you had an entertaining night with your friend!! It can be really nice to catch up with people!

Yes, yes and yes. Agree on all fronts. When I Church, I do it old school. Thus far I've not burst into flames, so that is a good sign. The most spiritual experience of my life was actually at a Gospel Baptist church for a funeral - or rather a Homegoing Service. The holy spirit was alive and well. Tranformative, that.
Dang it - I was going to say something else to you - what was it? OH, right - Lent. I'm a doer instead of a giver upper. Sacrifice feels too good to me. Doing is harder, so I do. A nun actually suggested it to me a million, billion years ago. (Maybe fewer)

Edited to add....
Dad came home from work with really great news for me and few other people in town. They told them today that 8 letters were sent out to call back those 8 hostlers that were laid off last year. The secretary at work told him she figures that they would be back by the first of March.
To the selfish man that...

Thats so nice! I like to imagine things that way too..

I have not seen that show, I've been meaning to watch it though - I just keep missing it. I'll keep an eye out for it
Funny that the architect has it hanging on his wall after saying that! Damn I really want to watch that movie now! 


So we got good news at work today, coal sets are going up. Basically that means that there is more demand for coal out East, which means more coal trains rumbling through town here, which means more work for us, which means happiness abounds. We were basically told that projections show that the increase could out us at the level of traffic we had before...

YIKES - that sounds like something you don't want locomotives to do.

You have been through enough! Of course you want to make sure that everything is what you think it is before you act. You are wise to do so, my friend. It is always easier to prevent a problem than to fix a disaster!
New blog entry - everything I think of is gripey. Tell us something fabulous about your life! Past or present! I'd love to learn more about your inner psyche.

Well today I learned my fate as far as my little accident from Monday. (if you aren't sure what I am talking about just go to my last blog and you will have it all figured out
) About a quarter after two today my superviser told me that I was supposed to go meet with my union griever in the conference room, so I...

I'm going to have to agree with you on that, yo. Also, I am here to serve. I remember what happened the last time I didn't appease the SG gods ... 

Well today at work ended much better than it began. The second move we made of locomotives on the tracks, dumbass me miss-ligned the turntable and thought I was lined into a track when I was not and I ccouldn't get the guy pushing the units to stop until two motors had slipped off the tracks. Well after cussing myself out for a bit and...

haha i never heard of that either, i just looked it up on urbandictionary, cause some fools on facebook told me to

Huh, I think you should. Trick is to find one who is both clever, well-spoken and available.
Got talked into going out last night which was fun, there are more people out on a Friday night than on Monday's but it's still small town Montana so there isn't all that much going on. I said I got talked into it but really it was just my friend Brad calling and asking and that's about all it takes, he is quickly becoming a...

Yay hooray for fun and good times. And - CLASH OF THE TITANS! I love the hell out of that movie. I saw it on HBO at a friends house when I was in elementary school - boobs and all. It is a masterful flick. 
Braindead, but wanted to say hi!

why thank you sweetums! How is your week starting to treat you?!

Wow, I joked around about Farve getting a hip broken, and dammit if they didn't almost do it. Probably not what he expected for what will probably be his last game ever, but that's the cap on it more than likely.
Well tomorrow I will find out what shift I get to float on until that job is filled and in turn I will get...

And can you recommend other comics/graphic novels you've read recently?
Wow, 200 miles - that's far away!

Yes, thank you very much! 
I'm already collecting The Walking Dead but I haven't read the other ones. I think it's time for a new order at Amazon.

Well it looks ike I don't have to worry about football anymore, my Boys got rocked today, I am pretty damned glad I didn't get to watch that one since I was working. Guess I have college hockey to still root for, and in a couple month's spring training gets underway.

Thank you! 
You are right, work at night could be hard, I used to work nights for 3 years and yeah, sometimes you just want to see daylight.

You are right, its better than not having a job at all, good luck to you. 

I was getting all introspective-ish, and kind of down on my world, but a comment on facebook turne my frown upside down, at least a little bit.
In a few hours it will be the 31st anniversary of my arrival on this planet, and it's been a pretty good ride so far, and I really can't wait to see where it goes from here. Like...

Thank you, kind sir.
I need sleep these days more than ever. I hate it. I want to thrive on very little sleep. Ech. Maybe someday.

Ah, that's probably the one. To be honest I wasn't that focused on the movie. It seemed like a good one though, at least the first fourty minutes that I actually saw.
Fun I will have. That's the only thing I am certain of. It is the rest I am worried about.

nazi zombies, you say? I had no idea that was even an option. I will have to learn more about this ...
Anything zombie generally works. Zombies are dangerous motherfuckers.
