Random weekend catch-up... I worked doubles on both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was spent with an new employee whose casualness on the job may get him removed. He's in his early fifties and comes across as being a know-it-all wiseguy...the type of person whose sense of sarcasm seems to reinforce any ideas of your thinking that he's an asshole.

I've spent this evening at home, as opposed to work as in the two weeks past. I've spent it somewhat celebrating my raise through my promotion and its appearance for the first time in my paycheck. 
It's been spread on a previously scheduled haircut (which was well-needed), two packs of guitar strings, a case of Newcastle and a whirlwind shopping spree at the wholesaler, Costco....

chiquitabonita:
ok, thank you for once again having more of a brain than me. (homercles cares not for beans.) does this mean that I can't mock the computer anymore?
cutriver:
Aw shucks! 
Your tales of promotion are making me jealous following my 'lukewarm procedural praise', to borrow your phrase. In actual fact, after the disappointing response of my employers and a phone call from the people in Adelaide, I am reconsidering the move to Australia.
*sigh* decisions decisions...
But hey dude, what a you doing with a case of Newcastle?
I live in Newcastle (some of the time) and I wouldn't drink that crap!

Based off of its entry in the All Your Base... Group, I couldn't not post the Advertising Slogan Generator. Though granted, it's linked to look me up first.

I loved that linK think i spent a good 20 mintues reading different varations
Happy poetry day, avid readers... 
I haven't found any of my own material that I'd hoped to stumble across. Hopes were set on closet cleaning and finding a stored cache folder full of old transcriptions and manuscripts. For now, I leave you with this.

Feeling better and somewhat rested... Whereas yesterday's theme was laundry, I believe today's will be furniture. AlienPrincess is itching to go purchase new dressers and the wardrobe to match at Ikea. The involves moving stuff out, making construction space for new and moving it in place. When I arrived home from my folks' last night, she gushed the details of her plot. There was also...

I need a house, I am missing that place to call home.
chiquitabonita:
thanks for the patting. I was chock full of homicidal rage. again. shrug.
I am spent, without anything left to give, loan, or borrow. I am tired beyond anything but the spare well of language left that shall leave me when I end this entry. I have just finished working 51 hours over the past three days. 
I was granted 3.5 hours of sleep last night after quality time w/ SGCT'ers. Immediately upon waking I dashed to work...

Hey, thanks for joining my group. I was hoping it would be a little more successful than this, but by the reaction from the boards, I was wrong. Hehe. I cant help but think that most of the people saying the group is a stupid idea have never actually read the book. Haha.
fredfarnance:
Wow definately seems like you need some downtime.
Another day of work, dictated by needs other than my own. Thursdays are what would normally be considered 'professorial office hours', a time and a place to be found usually performing paper shuffling and answering questions about it. I can, at times, use this allotment towards other things. Today I popped my head in for such reasons, checking in w/ staff & residents alike and...

So...a proper update rather than yesterday's quickie. It was my second day off while still having to make appearances at work and around the town. There was some relative drama at the group home that required a gentle hand for smoothing over. I was also volunteered by my Mom to research Fairfield county soup kitchens contact info for my recently sentenced cousin and the 200...

I hate having to wait on the phone for technical assistance good thing it wasn't too painful for you.
The waterfall of sugary teeth decaying goodness was by far the best part.

Indeed, that game of "I've got yer nose" with your patient would probably scare the living bejesus out of me. Terribly funny though.

I just got finished watching the film, Standing in the Shadow of Motown. I grew up on steady streams of Motown, Stax, misc. jazz, big band & classical. How exactly I turned being a noise-landen guitarist, I don't know. According to this movie, I should have had some fantastic nickname. Growing up, the closest was "Icky:, due to my last name's pronunciation. As a...

Hi...I got here, everything seems fine. That's it. I just talked to yoou!
Not too shabby of a day at work... 'Twas a double as is tomorrow's and the day after that. Tonight though was voluntary. Friday nights at my group home are pizza and bowling. Not too bad of a way to earn overtime, eh? The usual constant of working these shifts is the residents mopping the floor w/ me at bowling. For me, it's a drunken...

allied:
Hopefully things went well with your cousin. That can never be easy.
Thank you so much for the book, as well. That was so kind of you. Can't wait to dig in.
