Good Day

The day was a pretty good one. Got up at the wonderful time of 3:30am just so I could take the dog's for a walk. It was actually a nice walk. Not too cool out this morning. It felt like it was around 70 degrees out. I am crazy trying to walk two Lab's at the same time but it is getting easier. Got home and took a quick shower threw on some clothes and headed off to work.

Work was interesting. Michelle is now in town so she kind of hovered over the class today becaus Jerimiah had already done work toward the day of training. It was a tense enviorment to say the least. I think there was jealousy amoung trainers. I totally took advantage of the situation and hassled both with all sorts of legal liability questions. I was basically a pest all day, but they were all valid questions. We got paychecks today. Anyday that someone gives you money has to be a good day. Final got my check routed to the right bank account so I was even that much more happy.

After work I dash down to Smith's and picked up the Florida pictures. I only let them sit there for a month before I remembered them at a time I had actual money to pick them up. Most of the pictures came out the one's that didn't are the one's of the dog's. The Japanese Steak House pictures didn't turn out either but I will live. It was fun to look at them. Went and showed them to my dad and had a good time telling all the stories. The sunset pictures all turned out well. I would say I am going to scan them and post them for you all to see, but we all know I would be lying. That would require me to hook the scanner back up and that is way to much work for my tired body to do.

Weekend has officially begun. Got to run pick up a baby shower gift for the security guard at work. Anyone know where I can find Suzie Q baby stuff? I don't think they make that anymore do they? She's done the whole baby room up in that little yellow duck and friends theme, so she really want's stuff that matches. Maybe I will just buy her some sort of new baby kit with power and crap in it. The shower in Saturday afternoon so I should run out tonight and find something. Tomorrow night my cousin is having a combined Mother-Son birthday party for her and Braxtyn. Not sure about going to that since I was never formally asked if I wanted to attend. Nice huh? Might just go out and hit the town instead. Sunday I plan on doing a bit of yard work and chatting with my cuz in Australia. Should be a good weekend.

Nevermind the walk.

It's way to hot to walk. I am just going to get up a half hour earlier tomorrow and walk them. I am turning into a heat wimp.

Alright now that everyone else has done the stupid little "get to know ya" form I figured I would put in my version as well. Whether you like it or not here ya go.

WORK!

Finally, we actually did some work and training today. We have my old trainer stepping in until the trainer from Florida arrives. I was thinking that in and of itself would make the day another one of our sit and surf day's, but amazingly enough we actually covered a bunch of new stuff. This I am sure only happened because the BOSS was there but at least it happened. I am happy.

After work I went to the golf corse to pound a few balls out on to the driving range. I discovered a few things while doing this. 1) My shoulder is much better than I thought it would be. 2) I have a bad slice. 3) Never go to a golf course at 2:00 in the afternoon wearing dark colored jeans, it's way to hot out. Thankfully I was dressed casual today so only the jeans were dark. By the time I finished off a small bucket of balls I was drenched. Glad I didn't get the big bucket. Tomorrow I am taking shorts to change into after work.

Just in case anyone wants to know, you can't donate platelets until 6 months after a surjury. It can interfere with the healing process. Not sure how since all my wounds are healed but appearently it can. I can't donate blood at all and now they don't want my platelets. Should I ever try to be nice and helpful to society again? Probably since I only have to wait until September to make a platelet donation, but it's tempting to say "screw you". Since the platelets go to hemophiliac's and other's who have problems with their clotting factor's, and I just don't like the idea of someone bleeding to death when it can be prevented, I will be in the ARUP office on September 20th trying to do my part to help. Janet, Brad, and Connie will be donating this Sunday. I am discovering Janet is a bit on the proactive side. I guess I could be a bit more active. I complain enough about not ever having anything to do so her suggesting the platelet thing was probably a good thing even if I can't donate right now.

Well, going to go walk the dog's and gather up the crap for work tomorrow so I can get to bed at a reasonable hour.

Better day!

Much better day so far. Took two ambien last night and actually got some good sleep. Woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed, watch it Connie and Dee, ready to go at 4:00 this morning. I did have some really bazaar deams. Anytime Chet and Shane walk into a dream wearing wolf costumes you have to begin to wonder if you are over drugged.

I did get my car washed finally last night. I have been putting that off for way too long. Now if I manage to get it vacuumed out tonight I will be a very happy camper.

As you can tell we are once again working ever so diligently to train hard here at work. My high hopes of actually getting some training in were dashed when we found out the Trainer from Florida had to postpone her flight in due to a family issue and therefore the BIG boss is going to catchup on her work and not be here today. ARGH!!! I hate feeling useless.

Another Day...

Will someone remind me to work on this stupid page? It's about as boring as hell on a hot day. Nothing ever changing. Same thing is happening in my life to. You think there might be a pattern emerging? I need to start focusing on a few things more things in life. I also need to start getting to bed at a decent hour. Man was I exhaused this morning. Good thing we aren't doing anything at work. Found out today that the BIG boss is going to be sitting in on the next part of our training. Wonder if we will actually begin training. I sit at a desk for 7 and a half hours a day surfing Everquest sites and emailing random people all day. How, do you think, this allows me to learn a blasted thing? I am getting real tired of not doing anything. I am not one who enjoys just sitting around when I know I can and should be doing something productive. I was also wondering why, out of 4 classes, it's our's she has to join? I guess I should be happy. At least, in theory, we will begin training again. I won't have to sit around anymore. Right? Oh, and while I am ranting, what's up with female hormones? Why is it that a woman can burst in to tears just because she is forced to play all day? Shouldn't I have been thrilled with the opportunity to play? Why can't I get something resembling balance in my life? Why isn't someone calling me with all the answers? I know there is some sort of method to all this madness but I will be damned if I can find it. When someone gets the answers will you please call me and let me know? I don't think I can handle another day like today. I know my trainer was a bit confused when I couldn't stop bawling. I don't think I should put her through another day like today either.

Summer!

Loving the summertime. I know officially it's not summer, but when the sun is up and the snowcones and popcicles are plentiful, who can tell the difference? Yesterday I took Abbie, Dexter, and Brutus to the dog park. They had the swimming pools out and you would have thought Abbie had died and gone to heaven. It's a good thing I don't have an allergy to mud. I think she thinks she's part fish. I need to go buy her a wading pool of her own. Dexter decided to let the other dogs pick on him and Brutus went around trying to defend him. I am beginning to think Dexter is a big priss. He let a bassett hound ruff him up. Abbie would have bit the dog's nose off if he'd have tried any of that with her. Dexter is going to have to undergo some serious work if he's going to father Abbie's puppies. Otherwise I think she might hurt him the first time he tries anything.

Last night was a good night. Connie took Dee, Jennifer and me out to dinner and a movie. Jennifer got sloshed. It's amazing what no food, six hours of sun and a glass or three of champagne will do to a body. I have a strong feeling Jen won't be getting out of bed real early today.

I on the other hand am thinking of taking Abbie fishing. It's a bit late in the day already but I would be going up so that she can have fun and I can complain about another bad day fishing.
