So i took a week of vacation, combine that with 2 weekends and Memorial Day i have 9 days off. As you are more then aware I have 1 day left, Monday, until i have to go back to work.
This has not been a memorable week off. Construction work here has kept me homebound and I've had to endure my parents for most of those days hanging out in my home. Secondly I was stood up by two seperate woman this week. Glad I totally wasted 5 days of my vacation for complete dissapointment. I'd rather be at work getting yelled at because are sales are shit then spend my time 'off' doing manual laber and getting lied too.
Fun times |

So i kinda broke my cycle of no caffine today. A mountain dew and a few cans of Pepsi later and I'm ready to run a marathon. Its a shame my entire left leg is in aching pain today -because Saturday I spent my morning building a pier and taking down a sea wall with a sledge hammer and ripping out the tatters from 3 feet of semi-solid mudd that fought me every inch to get the chunks out. I came out with splinters, muddy, and semi-lucid with the onset of dehydration and an aching back. But you know what? I enjoyed it.
I'm sure a few monks would appreciate my way of thinking somewhere in the world when I say that manual labor helps me think. It focuses my mind, gets my brain gears moving. And i like it. Probably wouldn't if it was my job five days a week, but you get the idea?
So work is REALLY slow and we are taking flack for it at work. While we can be blamed for a few things our company is to blame for most of it. We don't stock the things we used to, we don't stock enough of what we have and we don't carry the things that our customer base needs. Our main distribution center does not send our orders to us on time, and often sends us the wrong or incomplete orders we ask for. We have 4 competetors within a mile of us -but all of which have the same problem we do. Its like a protractive siege. I'm waiting for us to start drawing straws to see who stays and who goes. I can't help but feel we are not far from a similar truth. Our higherups might be drawing the straws for us.
If anyone is to be let go it would be me. Which is unfortunate. I have a good thing going. A place to work close to home, good benefits, so on and so fourth. I don't 'need' it persay but I appreciate it and I enjoy it and I care for it.
I never liked my silver spoon and I will always fight away from it. I want to make my own away from it despite having it. Its like i keep it in the back of a cabinet somewhere as though it may have sharp edges. So i hide it from the rest of the silverware because any other way I'd be afraid i might use it and damage myself as a result. What a funny analogy. |

My Credit Card company is stupid. They have given me 2 new cards in the past month. Each time, in there records, it says the card is not activated. Meanwhile i'm using it on a daily basis after I activated it personally... on both occations.
Now SWOTR won't accept my credit card information as valid because of this information. Meaning I can no longer play |

What an interesting day...
I've been propositioned for sex twice and I think I may have a date in 2 weeks. Almost all in the same day. How odd.
The first one was from a 'friend' she wants to play Mass Effect 3. She offered sex to use my Xbox. Seeing how i frequent this woman anyway its no surprise... But still amusing =P
Secondly a friend called and asked if I was bisexual, because she has a guy friend who wants to have sex with me. I said no... to both.
Thirdly. A beautiful rep for an agency came into my work today. We talked for about 45 minutes about randomness. It was a great conversation. I mentioned she should try a local restraunt, and before she left I reminded her. She said "I'll be by in 2 weeks. Lets try it out." I don't know if she missworded that or not. I will find out in 2 weeks |

Have any of you heard about a program named Dragon? I've heard good things about it. If your not in the know then it is a program that, while talking into a headset, will type for you everything you say. There are two versions, home edition (100$) and Premium (200$). The greater of the two has access to bluetooth and you can use compatable recorders for it, but i think the Home Edition would fit my needs. I'm looking for a different medium for my writing antics. My sis works for BestBuy to hook me up with a discount. I'll see where it takes me.
Ever avoid someone for Vday? Maybe not for the same reasons that I am. Let this be a lesson for you. Physical relationships get odd after a while when one person is totally bored with the other person and the other person doesn't take 'no' very well as an answer... and she persists. Does she want a normal relationship? Hell no. Yet she wants everything to do with a normal relationship. I'm confused, as a man trying to interperate a woman usually is. |

So... whats this now? The 11th day? As of the 10th day I started to feel the effects of caffine withdrawl. I was a little pissy. Today I don't know yet. I have no one in front of me to yell at directly to know for certain just yet.
What I find as interesting is that though i'm suffering from 'withdrawl' and trust me i know this because I 'feel' the difference, but i'm not craving stuff with caffine. I'm not going out of my way to urge myself to not drink soda or eat chocolate so its not serious yet. So i guess that is a plus |

Been 5 days of 0 caffine.
I must say i'm starting to feel its effects.
Mentally I feel more adept and focused on tasks, though i'm much less energetic later in the evening then i used to be. In a sense i feel tired but not sleepy.
My quality of sleep is MUCH improved and it is easier to go to sleep. The amount I sleep has not changed, but because of the improved sleep quality i'm getting I'm not struggling to wake up on time for work.
I'm still waiting for the perverbial regress when my body finally uses up its caffine reserves (again, about 9 days into it) and I start suffering the effects of withdrawl. Talking to a few people about it, both my friend and a few others online, it WILL happen but the severity depends on the person. |

I have sort of been on a health kick recently and it seems to be working. I've cut out fast food and started eating whole foods and unprocessed stuff and i haven't lost any weight -but i'm loosing size in all the right places.
So the next step will be the hardest one yet. I have, as of yesterday, decided to cut out caffine completely. I'll see how the later goes in a few days when i start feeling the effects of withdrawl but I want to finally know where this goes. I'm not much of a soft drink person anymore, and after reading some scientific studies on it... How people have survived this long is a mystery!
So 1 day down. That was easy! |

So the drug dealer across the street from my parents house died 3 days ago. His car broke down on the side of a major road and a tractor trailer hit him, presumably, while he was in his car. The woman in the car with him survived with only minor injuries. He was flown to shock trama and died there. He was to appear for 3 hearings in the next few months. 1 for possession, another for possession with the intent to distribute, and the third for possession and with an illegal firearm (unregistered handgun) which was also a violation of his prohbation. It was quite obvious he was going to serve time in prison, 2 years at the least.
The woman with him survived with only minor injuries. The driver of the semi who hit him wasnt injured.
I'm being accused of being unsympothetic because I'm okay with this.
I could have said 'Give the driver of the semi a medal and check the girl for stds and drugs' but i thought THAT was being unsympothetic.
Oh well. One less drug dealing drugged out gun wielding waste of space. The community will sleep better in the end. I promise. |
