Can we let the sun still shine

I got to work last night, and my shift lead Jayson pulled me aside to let me know that I’m under consideration for a promotion to Second Shift Team Lead when the current one (my old team lead and buddy) moves to Austin.  To get the negative out of the way, this would mean that [...]

One of these days I’ll finally be free

My electric bill came today with an amount of $260.  This prompted me to check my last few statements to see where the hell this huge amount came from, since I use barely any juice at all – usually my bills are in the 60-80 range.  When I couldn’t find anything, I called the electric [...]

Sleep is for the weak

I really don’t know why I didn’t take a nap or something Friday night after getting home. I had a fun evening that started a bit late, met some new people, flirted with a cute gal, tried working my mojo on a really hot gal, but no dice. Got home and just couldn’t sleep. I [...]

Another red letter day

First off, I need to state that I’ve been up all evening, only plan on getting a few hours of sleep before heading out to help some friends move.  So if this post starts to veer off, just work with me.  But the whole helping friends thing is kind of the point of this post.  [...]

Stopping to take a breath

I want to point out before starting that I am not complaining in this post.  But last night was the first night in a very long time that I was able to just relax at home and enjoy a little peace and quiet.  The weekend, of course, was the weekend.  Lots of running around, mass [...]

I don’t know why I even bother

A quickie

Because I’m freakin tired and can’t really think, you all get my latest find:

Been through mad different phases like mazes to find my way

For the last few hours, I’ve been reading this guy’s blog and after both laughing and feeling sorry for the poor bastard, I had the realization that if it hadn’t been for a number of factors – my own personality, the support of good friends, and my desire to improve myself – I could have [...]

It’s a nice day to start again

I’m sitting at work this morning waiting for this program I’m running on my poor outdated laptop to finish compiling, which has taken me well past my time to go home, playing online puzzle games just to pass the time.  Behind me, the next shift is talking about of the guys proposing to his girlfriend.  [...]

Allergies suck

This would have been damn near close a perfect weekend if it weren’t for one thing – my allergies went into overdrive Friday night.  Got to spend some time with good friends and lovely ladies on Friday night, had more than one interesting conversation, and managed to prove that for a guy with some extra [...]
