It’s Gonna Be

a very interesting day.  I am here at work, it is 7:04 am and I am operating on less than three hours of sleep.  I’m thankful I’m not training today because I wouldn’t have been any good at it.
Went to bed last night around 10:30pm hoping I would get a decent enough amount of sleep.  [...]

NaNo

Well, I’m behind on NaNo again and it is driving me nuts.  I was so proud of myself that I was ahead the other day but now I am behind again and am so stuck I’m not sure how I will catch up.  I’m having a block about what comes next so tonight I decided [...]

Hell Night #1

Tonight was a hellish night – fun, but hellish.  I don’t even know where to begin so I won’t try.  Tomorrow night will be Hell Night #2 – hopefully also fun though busy. 
The costumes we saw parade by our cameras were fun, imaginative, and most of the females were rather risque.  Guess it is a [...]

Wind

Outside the wind is gushing by the apartment with a whooshing so loud I could almost believe it is winter.  I half expect to see snow when I look out the window but there is none.  The tree outside my window is now naked and even the leaves that had scattered across the lawn are [...]

Yucko Training

I just got my reminder notice that I have training tomorrow at 8:45 am.  This means I will get off at 7am and have to hang around for a few hours before getting to go home.  It does not make me happy.  I won’t get paid for the time between getting off and the training [...]

Tiredly tired

It was a long night to say the least.  The Hawkeyes won by the skin of their teeth – it was nerve-wracking right up till the last second when they won with a touchdown.  What a great victory! For the first time in school history, the Hawkeyes are 8-0 this far into the season.  We [...]

Headlights

Let’s talk about headlights for a moment.  I don’t understand what is so hard for people to comprehend when headlights are required so figured I’d explain it a little.
It is standard rule that if the street lights are on, your headlights must also be on.  Most people would have them on before this but they [...]

Aftermath

The Hawkeyes hung on to keep their undefeated status as they battled the mighty Michigan team.  I am glad they won and I’m told the game was thrilling.  We had it on in dispatch but didn’t have time to consult it more than a couple times to see the score.  First time we looked up [...]

Vacation

I need to plan a vacation I think.  Right now winter is becoming too much of a reality – we could actually have snow in a couple of weeks – so I need to think about a getaway.
I would love to go to a nice sunny beach somewhere – do some snorkeling – but don’t [...]

Today’s Truth of the Matter

is that I don’t want to do this anymore.  I don’t want to be stuck at this desk, looking at these monitors, trying to fill hours and dealing with all the crap everyone dishes out.  I’m sick of it – weary and disenchanted.  As one of my friends in Florida would say when things went [...]
