Happy Birthday To Me.

Haven't been posting a whole lot lately... I seem to blow off a lot of steam in the site threads... but not a whole lot of it is very deep. Of course my mind isn't working at full capacity at the moment.  I have a total of 142.5 hours on this two week's paycheck... and will be working tomorrow to finish it all up.  Today is my birthday... 48 years old... sometimes I feel a bit old.. then I realize that I'm only a day older than I was yesterday... and I refuse to let it all catch up with me too quickly.  I am living my life each day... and trying to squeeze in a bit extra from time to time.  It's really all I can do at the moment.  I've been pressing the issue of a detailed assignment at another center to my supervisors.... and maybe I'm getting somewhere.  I don't really know when it's going to happen, but I'm positive it's getting closer.

The air went out here about 4 days ago... my daughters have been in school during the day... and my spouse has left the house... we can't open up the old windows because they have been painted shut... so I've been dealing with it when I come in... usually after 10pm.. so it's not awful... but today it was finally fixed.  My daughters also spent their last day at school for the year, so it worked out well... My boss was insistent that I take today and Monday off.. to burn a bit of my time... I'm not sure how much more time I'll get yet.. as she's finally caught on that I already have 5 weeks that I will be required to take before the end of the year.... and it was slowly becoming a lot more than that.  I am hoping to schedule quite a few long weekends off but I am not sure how many I'll end up with... I do know that I will enjoy a few of them tremendously..

Dad was here today for my birthday... he took me to lunch... with my daughters and spouse.... my daughters got me a hamburger stuff-it maker... for putting stuff in the middle of burgers... and a cup holder.... I'm just happy to spend some time with them... but I still wish for some time away... Autumn is 16 1/2 now... and Amber is 11 1/2 ... they need to develop some independence... one of the ongoing discussions between my spouse and me... I hate to seem like an ass, but maybe it will be good for them to have to do some things for themselves... and not have everything handed to and done for them.  We shall hopefully see very soon. Still waiting... in the meantime... Happy Birthday to Me.

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

I'm Looking Forward To A New Year.

Been through ice the last few days... lots of time to take off between now and the end of the year... but I will get it in. I tend to not worry about much of anything lately. There's no need.. life is perfect... or at least headed in a perfect direction. I am still irritated at my boss and don't feel that I can truly talk to her without wanting to slap some sense into her... and I'm not a violent person... I don't like the feelings she provokes in me. I haven't felt those feelings before. I would never contemplate seriously hurting anyone on purpose... but with her.. I just want answers... show me WHY you would do such a thing. Not a whole lot I can do about it now.. I will just ride it out until I can go elsewhere... it won't be much longer anyway. I got new glasses yesterday. They are the first plastic frames I've had in 30+ years... black and simple. I actually am growing to like them in a hurry. I spent my time driving to and from the city on the phone...
