Somehow managed to convince my boss that it would be a good idea to take a bunch of employees on a trip to visit a local supplier. About 10 of us are heading out to visit a company called Cardinal Glass. Leaving around 9, we should be back around...

Its done. A dear friend of mine passed away over Easter weekend, and we had her memorial service yesterday. It was no surprise, she'd been battling cancer for years.
In memory of her amazing spirit, I'm refusing to mope about it, and intend to live by her example. Squeezing every precious little drop of joy that I can out of each and every day!!...

I'm actually going to go putz around in the wood shop today. Dear Ghod, I haven't done that in over a year, too freakin busy with work. After that, I may loaf on the couch and drink a beer in blessed silence.

Yea, they have that here, but as I'm not 25, I wouldn't be able to get enough of a loan to cover cost of living. Tuition, yes, cost of living, no. And as I'm hardly meeting it whilst working a full time job...well...*sigh*

Thank you for being a cheering squad for Shade - we appreciate it
Yeah, I remember when I heard that I was going to make about $20, 000 a year when I was 18 or something - and I thought that was AMAZING lol
Geez, reality check!

Watched an episode of the new Dr. Who last night. We taped it two weeks ago and finally got around to watching it last night. (Yeah, I know....) I really enjoyed it.
They kept enough of the cheesy effects and costumes from the old series to make it nostalgic. But also you can tell they don't want you to take it too seriously....

Exactly the same situation here. My parents paid out of their own pocket for my previous Uni stint, which I fucked up. They can't afford to do it again, my sister's also at Uni.
But there's no way I can pay this stuff out of my own pocket. No way at all.

Fuck you weather!!!
It started raining minutes after I got to the campground. It continued, pretty much unabated through Friday and Saturday. An hour after I got home on Sunday the sun came out and it warmed up 10 degrees.
Despite that, we had a splendid (if somewhat moist) time anyway. We took up residence in a cabin, rather than our usual tent. The cabin...

Wow, the weather the last few days has been incredible. Sunny, warm, light breeze. I'd call it "perfect" weather. In fact, we haven't had any serious rain for weeks.
How can you guarantee that it will all end? Schedule a camping trip. Like the one I did for this weekend. You know, this weekend? Where its supposed to rain from Friday night, right through Sunday...

We had REALLY nice weather - until today.
It was chilly, and damp, and gross.
I can't believe those guys! lol
That's hillarious - usually people in this area are stealth about it - and don't like being caught or seen taking stuff from the junk piles. So they do it in the middle of the night/early morning.
Thanks for the compliments on the teasers
Two more were made for Martini They're fun.

They're fun.Hooray for Bulk Trash Day!!
I get to toss giant piles of shit out onto the curb, and someone comes and magically hauls it away in the middle of the night. I've been participating in this ritual every year for the last ten years or so, and I still have a ton of crap in my basement. Its amazing, but considering that every member of...

Wah!! I don't want to go back into the office today. Dammit, I knew I should've taken the day off.
Why don't I listen to me when I'm talking?
What?

Damn, but I forgot how nice being out on the road can be. Quiet time in a hotel room by myself, free internet access, smoking in bed. Almost makes me want to go back into sales.

Almost.

Almost.
On the road again!!
Well, wish me luck. I'm off to spend a few days with one of our Salesmen in the Albany area. Been over a year since I've done the traveling salesman bit. Hope I remember how the secret handshake goes.

It must be a new moon coming into circle - the crazies are coming out in droves!
Heh....

OK, so I've been craving Chorizo. Think sausage with a spicy, southwestern flavor. As you know, I live in a rather "rural" area. The local Wal-Mart does not carry Chorizo. They *DO* however (and this surprises me as much as anything) carry SOY-rizo.
Yes, I'm a carnivore. They very idea of soy-based "fake" meat offends my delicate sensibilities. I have never found one that was...

I can guarantee you, if my fiance hadn't of been there, I would have been out of the car and trying to punch her face in.
I was SO fucking livid.

I plan to stick with it - and I'm already over the whole frustration/dissapointment of it all. I figure if things don't get any better soon - I start to seriously look at going back to school, or seeing if I can get hired doing something I'd REALLY enjoy doing.
