Moodkiller: Man, I have the worst feeling of impending doom.
Canopenner: Of really?
Moodkiller: Yeah, like Im going to die.
Canopenner: Dont worry, your impending doom is still quite a ways off.

In other news Im still uber busy at work. So I doubt Ill make the blog rounds today.

Well, I was out from work yesterday.

Today I have it all cut out for me and Im getting my ass handed to me.

So I gotta bolt.

BYE!

I hope everyone had a good Christmas. I know I did.

I got a bunch of stuff:

Lego Mindstorms set
2 Solor Powered race cars
A Clockwork Orange (Book)
a 20 Questions Handheld Game
some flip top pop thingies (If you know what Im talking here Ill be impressed)
A Pocketwatch
CDR's

Kids got alot of good stuff they wanted, Wife got stuff she wanted. ALl in all everything went great. Lotsa leftovers too. No complaints.

:^)

When your in IT, oftentimes you have to enter the building via the back door. And alot of times the lights are shut off and you have to walk accross a dark room to hit the switch.

What DOESNT happen alot of times is that trip over the canned goods that have been collected for the food drive and smash yourself into the ground ontop of a bunch of canned goods.

Yeah that only happens once a year appearently.

I was going to call in today.

But I dont have the heart for it....Damn my hardworking german ancestry.

In other news Im going to finnish 2/3 of my Christmas Shopping at lunch today.

Then I have just the wife to buy for on Saturday.

Woot!

Good Morning, I am trying to get an FTP server at home working, and its not working, everything looks good at my router, everything looks good at the server, I wonder if my ISP isnt putting its boot down on port 21, because I can connect but right after that it immeadiately times out. Ill try changing the port to 2100 when I goto lunch. Hopefully that allieviates my problems.

Have a good day!

Imagine the scene:

Its 6:50 AM in Canopenner's Bedroom, the alarm starts going off...Canopenner Nudges his wife and asks her, "Oh honey, can you please hit the snooze button?"

Canopenner's wife begins flailing wildly at the nightstand-Pefume bottles and candles flying every which way, the answering machine beeps and says "You have 7 old messages, no new messages". The alarm clock is still buzzing, Canopenner's wife is still flailing, pressing every possible button combination on the phone and alarm clock, not to mention a few remote controls...Finally Canopenner climbs on top of his wife and hits the snooze button.

Not exactly what I wanted to climb on my wife to do...But, at 6:50 in the AM you take what you can get.

I got up alittle late this morning. 7:25, so the one kid missed his bus and I had to take him to school. Maybe I should move my bedtime back an hour. Or maybe I need more naps...That would probably help.

Lets see...In other news, I pickled a bunch of cauliflower and peppers and onions...In little jars this time. Should be openable on or around Jan 30. So stay turned to see how those turned out.

Also I made a nice dinner of cheesy biscuits and creamed beef for my wifey last night. And the night before that we pretty much finnished our Christmas shopping. I only have her and 2 people at work left to buy for. I cant wait until thats completely finnished. That will be nice.

Well enjoy your day!

Well, the big screen lcd for the kids, for xmas is out, Charter Com, the cable company in my area, is out of HD converter boxes until January. So instead of buying that, Ill be getting the kids individual gifts.

On the plus side this means I dont have to give out any presents early.

So thats cool.

Have a good weekend!

This is my 911th post.

I doubt theres any significance behind that. But hell I dont have anything else to talk about so I figured why not go with that. Ya know?

My wife gets off work at 3 today, so I am looking forward to not making dinner for the kids. And having a nice quiet evening at home with her.

I love my wife. She is so sweet.

:^)

Have a good day.

You know, I could make a big long post complaining about how SOMEONE said they were going to do something, and they didnt F'n do it, and now users are calling me saying the crap isnt working when SOMEONE didnt share any of the information about what needed done, they just said they would do it and then didnt and went on vacation for a week. So anyway now the shit dont work and I have to pick up the Fn pieces and make the crap I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT work on a 15-45 minute timetable and I am none too happy about it.

I could make a blogger post like that.

But I would probably just feel bad about it later. Because I am a pansy like that. I will forgive the person for shoving a stick of dynamite up my rear and then Ill think I was jerk for "flipping out" about it. See Im the bad guy for picking up someone else's unfinished work and being mad that I had to, like what was I thinking, that other people would actually be responsible? Man, I am so naive to even get mad because they arent. Jeeze, how could I be so stupid to think they would do what they said they would? Where do I come up with that crap?

UGH...

And MEH!

OK, Well another swath of christmas shopping is done. I think I may have eaten something that didnt agree with me tho because my tummy is alittle sick, and I feel kinda achey and painey.

Meh.

On the plus side I only need to buy presents for the kids and my wife and a few of my friends who are in the low end gift range. Im pretty much done shopping.

:^)

Do me a favor and say a prayer I feel better. Thanks.

Good Monday Morning Everyone!

I am feeling quite refreshed because I went to sleep at like 9 PM last night.

It was VERY restful to get 10 hours of sleep. Not something I want to do every night but last night it was good.

I had some strange dreams about a company picnic I was at, we (Seems it was the same people who work at my corporation) were fisherman, and I was so busy fishing that I didnt make it to the banquet before most of the food was gone. So I ate some pasta out of my hands. With no plates.

In other news my co worker is getting CRABBY because he is not having a wonderful day like me. I am going to go see if I can cheer him up now.

:^) Enjoy your day, who knows how many of them you and I might have left. ;^)

Happy Friday everyone.

Its that time of year again. Not Christmas, but the time when I complain about "The Radiothon to End Child Abuse". I hate that. Like you can just end child abuse by throwing money at the problem. How annoying. Typically American.

In other news, I guess I excel at making people angry on the internet. If you are one of the people I have so angered, Im sorry. I was probably kidding myself and I didnt mean to make you send me that ALL CAPS message. heh. Sorry again.

But at least I didnt make people mad when I was mad, because then I would have to feel bad about it. As it is people just got mad at me for making a joke or writing a comment so I dont really feel bad about that.

Also check out my magnet widget thingy at the bottom of the page. I think its alot of fun.

Have a good day and a great weekend!

For some reason my kids decided they would lay in bed this morning when they told me they were getting up before I got into the shower.

They missed the bus.

I yelled at them and took them to school and was 20 minutes late for work.

I am moving bedtimes back one hour in the face of this outrage.

Thank you.

:^)

Man I got up this morning and had to take the giantist poop. I feel alot better afterwards.

Man that fiber night is rough.

In other news my kitchen sink is broked, my father in law (A plumber by trade) is coming to look at it today. Should be a quick fix for him because I think one of the joints came apart in the nether regions of my house. I can see it, I can see the problem, BUT I dont want to touch it in case I might make things worse, it looks like you have to turn the top assembly and screw the pipe back in from the kitchen side, but I dont want to take the trap apart and such because its a nightmare to get back in.

So Ill let a pro handle it.

Im sorry I havent been keeping up with my normal blogging schedule. I have been very sick for the past week or so and it seems all the excitement with me winning the award and all that noise has just made things alittle more intense (As far as my cold goes).

Ill try and get back to business as usually now.

Also I getting hammered at work and I need to get alot of crap done.

Thanks for your understanding with this matter.

Ok, Im not taking down my stupid worthless blog.

And I won the big customer service award.

It was very nice, I was the only winner to recieve a standing ovation from the entire crowd of employees.

The master of ceremonies said, "I didnt know the beatles were in town tonight!?!" and another senior VP said "Thank God we picked him!"...Haha! Its very nice to get recognition from peers for killing myself at this job for the last 8+ years. (Really I thought it was 10, but I guess its only 8)

I have a video to post of me winning the award but its very dark so Im going to run it through some filters and see if I can make it watchable. I got a nice acrylic-crystaline trophy engraved with my name that should last for 100 centuries. Archeologists in the year 102,006 can dig it up and think Im a pharoh or something.

I am quite pleased with the love and adoration I recieved last night. And the big fat bonus check was pretty nice even after taxes, for the first time ever I can pay my december bills AND buy x-mas presents.

I do think that everyone who works at this place deserves such an award and its hard enough to keep your head above water working at this corporation for every employee they have. Its really a shame that EVERYONE cant get the bonus, the award, and the recognition for a job well done that I know everyone here does, not just me. That being said THANK YOU ALL -company name here- EMPLOYEES!!! You all deserve it at least as much as me.

I am alittle hung over after 6 rum and cokes on an empty stomach, but I was wayyyy to nervous to eat.

:^)

and have a good weekend!
