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 [...]

The Serengeti

Just finished watching the documentary “Africa, The Serengeti” which was, obviously, about the animals of the Serengeti.  I certainly hope I get a opprotunity to visit Africa before I die – it looks like a most beautiful but brutal place.  In the film it had some crocodiles that were humungus…I’ve seen them this big at [...]

Somebody Stop Me Please

What I need is one of those invisible dog fences at the entrance to every store so that, as I get closer and closer, I get a shock. Kind of like shark shields too. That way, every time I get near a Barnes and Nobel, Target, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Borders, etc., I will not be [...]

Tigers at the Brink

Tigers have long been a favorite big cat of mine – they are graceful, stunning and firmly on their way to extinction.  Of the eight subspecies of tigers, three have met with total extinction in my life time. This knowledge grieves me greatly.  I will never understand the human races need to destroy everything in its [...]

Oh My God

We were so swamped tonight that neither Kristen nor I got a break of any length of time.  It was insane…seriously.  At one point we looked at a building on a street corner through one of our cameras and we couldn’t even see the store front of the building – only people.  There were literally [...]

Calm Down

Wish things would calm down just a bit here. It is 3:08am and things are still clipping along. So far it has been mostly little, irritating things that take too long to deal with.
Have things to think about so would like to have the chance tonight while staring at the world through cameras. [...]

Already

Well, it is 12:42 am and I’m already bored stiff.  I’ve played Bejeweled and Gem Swap for as long as I can without going into convulsions – now I’m in for a long night.
Really, I’m not into the computer games – I’ve tried Solitaire, Free Cell, and Spyder too but nothing holds my interest.   My [...]

Sad

My friend Jessica came to visit me at work for a little while.  It was so fun talking to her and laughing over stuff that it made me sad she quit.  We had such a great time at work – I miss that.  Work has lost it’s luster except for four hours on Monday and [...]

Give Me a Break

I ordered “The Shining” miniseries from Netflix a couple of weeks ago.  I have the one with Jack Nicholson in it but also like the longer one that follows the book better so figured I’d watch it again before I decided on owning it.
Netflix, in their infinite wisdom, sent me disk 1 of the two [...]

Chocolate

I am not a big chocolate fan – I don’t eat candy bars that often and when I do it is more for the coconut in the Mounds bar than the chocolate.  I rarely crave a candy bar.
However, tonight I do.  I was hoping the weather would lighten up enough for me to walk down [...]
