FRIDAY!

Im so sick of working long hours. Thank God tomorrow is Saturday!

AMEN.

Today is "bring your child to work" day. Melissa has been pretty excited about it for a couple of weeks. She was already awake and pretty much ready to go when I woke up this morning.

Well we are going to the pop machine now.

:^)

Well, I made it until 9 last night. So as of this morning Ive worked 26.5 hours this week.

Its kinds grueling.

In other news tomorrow is bring your child to work day so Ill have melissa in tow until about 5 PM. Should be fun. Ill let you know how it goes.

Hopefully Ill get a chance to play some DDO 2morrow.

By the way, dont miss the most important site on the internet Do I need a jacket

Well. Working for 14 (13.5 actually I left at 9:30)hours wasnt so bad. I even went to bed about 1:10.

However, It doesnt leave alot of time for things to happen for me to blog about.

I got alot of work done though.

Ya'll should hop over to www.last.fm and check out the service they offer. I signed up for the free portion (big suprise) and for that you get:

Music Tracking, it tracks every song, every band, how often I play them, my favorite bands and my favorite songs-Based on how much I play them in winamp with their little plugin running.

Also it compiles a radio station based on what you listen to, then streams it to a client they have, if you choose.

Kudos to Sabrina because she had it and I ganked it from there. Thanks Sabrina.

Woot. Check out the charting Im doing on the bottom of my page with it. Sweet huh?

Busy weekend. Not as much as DDO as I would have liked...Got in about 5 hours over 2 days, I guess thats not so bad.

Some things I did over the weekend.

Built a bookshelf for my bedroom.
Screened in my porch where my do nothing landlords had replaced the eve last November.
Made Omlettes for everyone on saturday night.
Helped my friend Gregg paint one of his kids bedroom a horrible color of eggplant.
Made some really really hot, hot, hot wings for a bar-b-q we had with my wife's friend and her husband.
Flew some kites.
Played some boche ball.

All in all fun, but taxing.

I also had a dream my wife made a stew from an old shoe and fed it to me

:^P yuck.

Melissa: Theres a dead cat in garage number 2.
Me: Huh? One sec, Im on the fone.
Melissa (runs off to play)
Me: Ok...Whats this now...A dead cat in garage number 2?
Johnny: Thats what Tristan says.
Me: Do we know whose cat it is?
Everykid in the neighborhood: NO!
Me: Do we know who has garage 2?
Melissa: The people moved out. The garage is shut and locked.
Me: Hrm, that makes it the do nothing landlord's problem. Grrr.
Melissa: Yeah
Me: wait a minute. How do we know theres a dead cat in there if its shut and locked?
Johnny: Tristan saw it go in there.
Me: But it had to be alive then right? Dead cats dont really "go" anywhere.
Some neighborhood kid: Yeah, Ive heard tristans lies before.
Me: So no one here has seen any dead cat with their own eyes?
Kids: NO.
Me: Later then, its prolly an urban legend. Lemme know if you can ever confirm its existance.

Unlimited overtime-Thats what they told me.

Ive scheduled myself for 14 hours days starting Monday until 2 Fridays later...For a total of 140 hours in 2 weeks.

I hope I can hack it.

Its an extra bazillion dollars.

I ate a salad last night.

Dont go in the mens bathroom at the UTC or the NSC building today.

You will regret it.

Well, Kids got all the narnia books to split. They were very pleased with it.

Had alot of good food while at mother in laws house.

In laws piss me off.

Yesterday I made a whole crapload of fish and homemade french fries, we had alot of company for my wifes birthday.

While I was in new ulm I had a nightmare, that everyone in my company had their workstations replaced with laptops...

I woke up in a cold sweat. Screeming. My wife laughed at me.

My children wont be getting easter baskets.

There is no easter bunny.

Skip those colored eggs.

Instead Ill be giving a lecture on the what the true meaning of easter should be.

If you would like to know where all the non-Christian crap got incorporated from I think this wiki-article will help you out.

See you when I return from the mother-in-laws. :^P

I think I over scheduled my day today, I have alot of work to get done and not much time to do it.

Gotta go.

Man, I need to quit playing that Stubbs, the zombie, game. Last night I had the worst zombie nightmares. Zombies in the street, zombies at work, zombies in my basement.

Zombies Zombies Zombies.

Oh wait...Thats real life.

Upcoming not-so-funness:

Tonight I have to goto a school program. :^P I HATE those things. Its Melissa's last one at the elementary school tho, so thats a small plus side. I am not going to be staying for juice and cookies.

And then this weekend I have to goto my mother in laws house, My wifes birthday is this weekend and her mom's was the day before mine. And its party time. So no DDO for me this weekend.

Im thinking about scheduling Monday off to compensate.

Good, but busy weekend. Heres a recap:

Built a new computer for Dustin (17) out of spare parts I had. Hes going from 450 to 1.4 Ghz machine. Hes happy.

Cleaned out my deep fat fryer. Did the dishes, some other meanial housework.

I shaved off all my hair. I think I look 10 years younger. My wife says I look 10 years DUMBER, she hates it. Tell you what tho...It took 20 minutes less for me to get ready for work this morning, so Im viewing it as a win.

Bowling on Saturday night, I beat my fellow blogger 2 games out of 3. (Until she got way too drunk then she bowled like a 200 game). Believe it or not my butt is sore from bowling. I guess I need to get out more.

I got a copy of that "STUBBS: REBEL WITHOUT A PULSE" game, If youve never heard of it, the premise is that you are a zombie pursuing your long lost love. Its a nice time killer in between games of DDO but mostly I find it rather boring and kinda a disapointment graphically as it says it requires a Gforce 5200 or better and I havent seen anything too special in it so far...

I made a big batch (4 dozen) of homemade doughnuts in my fryer after I cleaned it. Kids loved them...There are still some left for after school snack. :^)

and in closing, I had the craziest dream last night, I was 19 again and appearently my grandmother had signed me up for an extra year of high school. Then I had all these misadventures trying to get out of going...Eventually I caused a car accident.

Weird.

Happy Monday!

Last night I had a general feeling of malaise.

I hate that, I used to think it was from stress, but I swear I had no stress yesterday. It only happens about once a month, Does anyone else have it? My wife thinks I should goto the doctor for it, but my experience is that doctors are idiots who dont know what the hell they are doing.

I know thats not a popular viewpoint in this day-and-age but thats the way it is.

Anyway...I went to bed at about 12:30 (Since I was feeling crappy), and I woke up at 1:30 totally drenched in sweat...Like I could ring out the blankets it was so bad.

What the hell causes that?

Oh and btw...Happy Friday I hope to see at least some of you at the bowling tournament manana.

Hi, Im back.

While I was gone I had my birfday, I got

A New Video card (just a middle of the road gforce 6600). Im in love with it...I can run all my games on high or very high. :^) , from my wife

A deep fat fryer, Also from my wife

A new ps2 memory card, from Dustin (17)

2 dollars, from Stephen(14)

2 Foiled common Magic: The Gathering cards from Johnny (13)

A hug and a kiss from Melissa (9).

:^) All in all I made out like a bandit. Now Im back at work thinking I should have taken a week off.

But Im in a great mood.
